It's nice to see a real lyrical artist getting some love and on the front page. Chino is a very dope lyricist, he takes time with his lyrics, I always appreciate artists that are dope and have done that like Big Pun, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Canibus, Pharoahe Monch, K-Rino, Cormega, Tragedy Khadafi and artists like that that you can see some craft went into thier work.

I've been sleeping.
lol
I remember listening to "Here to save you all"
and I just wasn't feeling it at the time cut it off before I finished the album.
I knew he was a lyricist to be respected but I just assumed he wasn't an album dude.
I ran back to "Here to Save You All" after listening to this album.
I remember playing the hell out of his album that came out three years ago though.
With that said : Damn Chino is dope and he always kills his features.
Man this album made my top 5 of the year. :wow:

He never made a song better then ghetto vampire after his first album. Sad how he fell off so hard flow and lyric wise to appease people who arent even his fans.

I thought he was trying to appease to people who aren't fans late in the last decade(00s) but this album has quelched any worries of Chino sellin out.

His flow and lyrics have vastly improved over the yrs since Here To Save U All.

I appreciate Chino and others U named cuzz they squeeze every ounceof their talent out of them when they make music unlike so many talented hip hop artists who don't come close to ultilizing their talents and full potential.

Albums like this, Life Is Good and Russian Roulette, genuinely make me excited about hip-hop again
