I've listened to some of his stuff and his music has no commercial appeal. If the industry was scared of him then he'd have never been offered deals.

"Some" being the operative word, probably not even 10 percent. His music has commercial appeal and he's sold records too. Do you know what commercial appeal means? He was offered deals before he joined the N.O.I and got even more positive, as his subject matter started to change the label people wanted him to compromise his content and do certain types of shyt, he refused, he's even banned from certain radio stations cause of what he represented. This is what happens when you don't know the history, just speaking blindly and incorrectly.

You don't have to listen to every song in an artist's discography to form an opinion on them. Of course they'd try to change his content, rapping about the Illuminati isn't popular. Which radio stations is he banned from?

And even from looking to the reaction of people on here to K-Rino you can blatantly clearly see people are shook and intimidated, that's the reason for the bullshyt.



K-Rino saying a lot of real shyt...

Real people like Scarface who KNOW him know what's good...


Scarface: I’m not fukkin’ with K-Rino. I invited K-Rino to do a verse on my album because a lot of people don’t wanna fukk with him, ‘cause he’s a dangerous muthafukka… I think he really took it light on me too.
DX: That’s saying something, that’s a hell of an endorsement to say that he’s got you when it comes to the H-Town hierarchy.
Scarface: Man, that muthafukka is the truth.
DX: I don’t know why it never happened for him…
Scarface: I think that it had a lot to do with…the way he felt about being affiliated with a major, or an indie-major… I don’t think he wanted to be a part of that fukkin’ machine. He didn’t wanna be…on that ship, that slave ship.

You do have to listen to more than 10 percent, which you haven't. For it to have any kind of validity whatsoever. Again all this is doing is proving my point and confirming your lack of knowledge on the topic, even now K-Rino raps about A LOT more than that, but back then it was far even less so if at all, he rapped about N.O.I shyt, black upliftment, racism, police brutality, all types of shyt, proof is in the numerous tracks could post. And 97.9 The Box.

Have you listened to more than 10 percent of Young Thug's or Drake's discography? If not, then you're contradicting yourself. I never said he didn't rap about positive shyt, I said that he doesn't have the appeal to be a big artist.

Yes, that's the whole point. I've listened to every Drake album and mixtape. Young Thug I actually did listen to his shyt too, was really awful. That's the whole point, if I have only heard 10 percent of an artists work I don't speak about them. There's numerous artists I haven't listened to that I'd never talk bad about if I haven't heard their work. Artists have songs that range in quality, nearly every artist, it's like judging Nas off Oochie Wallie, Big Girl and You Owe me and ignoring Illmatic and all the other dope shyt he's done but then saying he IS this definitively when you really don't have a clue.

And the last point, again this is something you can't know and what do you even mean by "big artist". He could have certainly been on a Scarface, KRS-One type level with the right promotion and marketing, label/money behind him. Which is pretty big, regardless he's still very well known right now, not Jay Z famous but he has multi millions of views and is revered enough to do world tours and much more.

This came out in 1986 and he did a nationwide tour of this song, possibly international...

What do you know about it? You haven't heard his music. Firstly he does have commercial appeal if you even know what the term means. Secondly it's not a copout, it's the absolute indisputable truth, he got offered major deals he turned down, several...


Bruh you know that is straight up none sense..... Maybe in mid-late 90's but now? nah, not in the sightless.
