Seriously, Had You Heard Of Chino XL Before Hit Em Up?

[Idiopathic Joker]

Let me think back to 1996.

 

[270crownst]

wicked church.ya better stop sleeping on that nigga chino

 

[CSOPQ]

...trying not to get fucked, like 2pac in jail. Wasn't a diss, but I can see how it was taken as such.

 

[Angeles1son85]

You know its 2016

 

[Turfaholic]

I didn't know who he was til he hopped on that track that had Eminem on it.

 

[Jabu_Rule]

He made the og how to rob dissing various people and got merked by a simple response just like 50.

Chino XL, fuck you too >>>>> I'm about the dollar, what the fuck is 50 cent.

 

[juelz21]

no............

 

[SneakDZA]

I remember seeing this on The Box alot had to be a NJ thing

Yeah when I used to live in East Orange I used to see him around from time to time around the time that song was always playing. But I thought he was just more of a local celebrity until Pac dissed him which just seemed way out of left field.

 

[_God_]

Nah

 

[bununs alias]

anyone who watched rap videos on bet back then seen his videos here and there

 

[a_list]

Seen a video on MTV Jams or something, think it was a love song....

 

[Breezy_Kilroy]

Yes..


This video used to get played on rap city a lot n I think he got a hip hip quotable in the source one time..

Never listen to any of his projects tho..

When the fuck can you ever listen to this?

I've heard this song before but the first thing you hear shouldn't be

"Your molecules are now in motion" it's like ahh shit here we go.

I don't mind several syllable words but a lot of time it comes off as boring and trying too hard. Sometimes simple is better.

Its funny cuz Chino is a name dropper but Pac just took it personally and dissed him on hit em up essentially making Chino famous...

The name dropping blueprint

The name dropping blueprint

that's another thing if the goal was to get a rapper who actually sells alot of records

then he succeded he paved the way for the 50 cent type of rappers rappers who calls out other famous people to get attention

 

[nex gin]

Yes on Rap City.

Hell nah.

 

[Logic Last]

Definitely. Pac made him famous though. Chino's freestyle was official.

 

[Logic Last]

I wish interviews were accessible back then cause I hated Pac. Dude never explained his strategy in his raps. Once I heard him talk, it was clear

 

[south4life]

I didnt know about him until Hit'em Up.

That whole rumor was started by "NoAssAtAll" Wendy Williams, i guess he took it as the truth and ran with it.

Funny thing was years later i saw him in a movie with Pac's friend Treach.
