1:00 - that picture of Chino here he looks like eminem, it was known amongst hip hop heads that eminem bit off of Chino, who wouldn't though, he was a lyrical monster!! R.I.P. Chino XL
@@hip-hophistorybuff u know what I meant u have him in your top 50 or some type of playlist and due to your analysis of rappers I can see you connecting to a under appreciated rapper! I assumed that though 🤷🏿♂️
Can you review the new Curren$y x Monstabeatz album titled "Radioactive" unless your reviewing either the new Flee Lord album titled "Raised In The Sand" or Grafh "God's Timing" first like you said prior to going away...Up to you though fam I respect what you do with this channel hands down one of the best when it comes to a real hip hop 💯
@@hip-hophistorybuff I knew of Chino XL and Kaoz of the rap duo The Art Of Origin super underground though from early 90's like 91-94 but I just heard a joint today I've never heard before called "Unration-AL" omg Chino XL was incredible even as far back as than and "Dead Friend" is another one most of those old joints were test presses and demo tapes and most didn't see the light of day until the last decade or so basically you wouldn't know those joints unless you were from NJ or the BX back than and heavy into the underground scene
*I been listening to the music video remix* of "Kreep" all week. Such an incredible song. I wish I could attend his funeral service. Rest well, *CHINO XL* - first Puerto Rican rapper with a solo deal on a major record label (1996)
P L K is and has been for some time is Lloyd Banks. I remember first hearing Chino in the early 90s. But I didn't recall hearing albums from him. Respects tho! Maybe I'll dig in the crates.
I knew you would talk about this, much respect.. God Carpenter is the first album I've listened to from him and i was blown away by the way he was rhyming and putting syllables together.. Hiphop lost an Elite Emcee.. Rest in Peace.. 💐💐

I'm not gonna lie when I heard Chino XL on the new Rakim produced album, I can easily hear Em on that track as well, and both competing with each other.
@@AmariMarvelous I had always assumed Chino influenced him, but I never saw Em list him as an influence officially. So i dont know whats up with that. lol.
@hip-hophistorybuff True indeed! I never heard Em speak on Chino XL as an inspiration or someone that he measures up to. Maybe behind closed doors, he speaks highly of him. We will never know, lol.
@@jonathanbarnes7641 word bro. might have been because he collaborated with Sway & King Tech, and his features with LA artists. He moved there later on also, so that could be another reason
Mane this hurts. I met Chino at a Immortal Technique show back in 2008 in Scottsdale AZ. He was humble Asf. The only thing I said 2 him is "You the illest" and his eyes lit up and he nodded his head saying thats what's up. IMO he influenced Eminem because Em wasn't spitting them punchline bars until Chino shined on the Wake Up show. Anyways RIP Chino and DJ Polo 🙏
I remember when he got the ok to release it. He was hype as hell. Big time loss for hip hop. Condolences to his family and friends who are surely feeling this loss.
Chino was a real one !! I remember reaching out as a fan he responded like he was my brother..rest in peace .
