chino xl
 
r there any other chino xl fans here? in my opinion, his raps have the best lyrics and euphemisms of ne1 out there.

Raine 06-29-2006 11:33 PM

I do.
He had a song featured on the Kiss of the Dragon soundtrack.
I don't remember the name of it, but it's what got me listening to him.

cas 07-03-2006 12:04 PM

I dig Chino.

He could've had a decent career had he not got on Pac's bad side.

Too bad really...

2Pac is dead.
And the way the rap industry is today, no matter what happeend in the past he can still make a fortune if he really wanted to.

Nah...

The majority of the drones will never give Chino a chance regardless of whether Pac is dead or not. One line in a song essentially ended Chino's career.

Caveman logic.

Nah.
I imagine that most people haven't heard Chino's stuff and probably wouldn't care what the lyrics were so long as the beats are tight.
Case in point, ICP has crap lyrics and too many people love them.

Yeah Chino would be a success.

Well...

It's been 10 years since Pac's death and Chino has done nothing but flounder in the underground. I think you underestimate the hypnosis that 2Pac still holds over the average rap fan.

Chino had a bright future as an up-and-coming MC, ran afoul of the reigning "king of Rap", and has been relegated to the underground ever since. It happens.

Case in point...

Canabis. LL stopped that dudes career dead in it's tracks. He had to join the army for Christ’s sake

I don't under estimate the hold 2 pac still has over people.
I underestimate the intelligence of people today.

Do you honestly think that today's geenration of rappers like 50 cent know anything about Chino, cause they sure as heck aren'y better than Chino.
And do you think that the audience rap reaches out to (mostly teenagers) will remember anything abuot what CHino said ina previos song?
And do you honestly believe that most teenagers todya that listent or ap pay that much attention to lyrics? hell no.
Case in point, Mike Jones made millions saying his name over and over again.

Actually...

I think you are OVERestimating the intelligence of people today if you think that Chino will ever be welcomed back by the average hip hop fan. The very premise of your argument supports that fact.

He was making a run for it in the early 90s. Radio play... guest spots on established artists albums... videos being shown on MTV... He could have been the next Xzibit.

But once the beef with 2Pac was established the mainstream wouldn't touch him. Plain and simple.

97.6 percent of so called hip-hop fans are mindless drones.

ryder 07-03-2006 07:15 PM

in never stopped liking a rapper cause another rapper dissed him. that would be ignorant. Jay-Z and Nas were dissing each other and i didnt stop choosing one over the other even though i like Nas better but i still like Jay.

hangard 07-05-2006 05:31 AM

I think hes good should be doing better but hes been lost somehow

And as soon as one person says they like Chino the other 97.6 % of rap fans will follow suit based on your post :laughing: :D

Nah...

It'd have to be a rapper.

Preferably some ubber-hardcore type ala' 50 Cent.

THEN he might get another shot.

Maybe...

Were you being sarcastic when you called 50 cent ubber hardcore?

You can't say you like Chino and 2Pac and then say you think 50 is just smidge ubber hardcore.
The dude doesn't even rap all the time. The guy probably isn't even human. face like that he could be the missing link

Mephistopheles 07-13-2006 04:11 PM

Not too familiar with his music. Heard some of his freestyle though. Sick ****.

Sir Droopy 07-14-2006 07:57 PM

Chino's not a radio friendly type rapper, his music is real street & I doubt he'll make it out of the underground, unfortunately. As far as him as a lyricist, top 10 of all time.

Chino XL's new album "RICANstruction: The Black Rosary" is scheduled to drop on Viper Records on September 25th. It's going to be a double album with 35 tracks and guest appearances by Tech N9ne, Big Pun (an unreleased verse), Immortal Technique, Rakaa, Travis Barker, Horseshoe Gang, and many more. I love the idea of Chino and Immortal Technique on the same label. Can't believe there's no guest spot by Crooked I. Can't wait!

Those lucky enough to be artistes have a unique forum for exorcising their demons: demons many of us can also relate to and for Chino, “RICANstruction: The Black Rosary” is most certainly an exorcism. On the 35-track set he tackles difficult subjects such as the abuse he suffered as a child, his resulting fractured personal relationships, his own daughter’s battle with cancer and a past suicide attempt, amongst other things. While crafting these emotionally draining songs, Chino realized that he was helping himself and others by recording them. “It’s a complete unbottling of a lot of stuff, things that I probably had suppressed,” he explains. “The human psyche has the ability and the power to do that in order to keep it functioning. I felt that it was time to let most of it out so I could move on and get past some of those issues. Whilst on tour last year, I realized how many people I connected to when I expressed a lot of those more painful, emotional songs. It seemed like a lot of folks really needed to hear them. I can learn from that to help them relate so they can also get past what they had going on. I realized that’s part of my journey.
