That first Chino XL album tho

[ManBearPig]

it had barz for dayz


Your career is George Burns I can't believe you ain't dead yet
I show more blind rage
Than Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles wrestling in a steel cage

Album would have been great if he wasn't trying to force so many punchlines. He had the delivery, he had the mic presence, he had interesting subject matter, the music fit his subject matter... he didn't need to be so aggressive on the track all the time. He became even more rappity rap after this album, and I liked him less and less.

Looking back on it, Chino must have been a pretty big fan of Treach & LL.

Breh, look at this shyt



First single from his sophomore album and he's trying to be on some jiggy shyt in the video while spitting rapid fire rappity raps ON TOP of the beat.

Terrible song in retrospect

Last verse was flames though.

Speaking of Chino, who fukked with The Ricanstruction? That album was crazy. Might crack my top 5 double albums.

Ricanstruction has some dope joints.

Here to save you all is a very dark album tho, his darkest subject matter and just overall sound is real gritty. The album hasn't aged as good as some others from that period but it's his best album.

Ill line but hasn’t stood the test of time. Semed Like never but that day has actually come...

I agree except I think he topped it with Ricanstruction.

Too much filler for me and lyrically not as sharp.

Ionno, breh. He had some ridiculous bars on there. Could be the age of the old stuff. I also think the usual double album "trimming the fat" applies. If you trim it down to the amount of tracks of HTSYA, it's better. Maybe there's no song as sick as Riiiot!, but that's one of those magical, once in a career things. You can't recreate that.

 

[tigerstyle]

one of my all time fav albums

 

[oO J Smooth Oo]

Classic album

Removing your skeletal system playing your ribs like xylophones
I'm nastier, leave you scraped and ashier than


that man became a whole different punching bag after boxing

Now that album was crazy to that shyt definitely should've gotten more praise

 

[KingsOfKings]

That album was live.

Bumped this in high school during my backpacker phase hahaha. Chino is one of my fav lyricist for real tho.
