Considering the numbers are huge, and you yourself have just posted in it they obviously do care. You have the capability to ignore any thread you decide. I will not stop making threads about K-Rino under any circumstances, infact many more will naturally be coming when his albums drop this year. No-one is forcing you to enter or comment.

these posters are TRASH
See this is how twisted your mind is. No one has to respond to anything, but you respond to every single K-Rino post because you feel like people are disrespecting your daddy. Your loyalty to a complete stranger is UNDENIABLE, and can only conceivably be attributed to some form of hypnosis in the man's music
Ruler if you add up the amount of paragraphs you have written in explain how K-Rino is the greatest you could have published a book by now....
...I see a solid 3-4 paragraphs every page by you in a K-Rino thread.
K-Rino certainly deserves books written about him. He can holla at me if he requires my services, I am a very capable writer. He is already in books though....

Who's the best MCs? Biggie, Jay-Z, and Nas
Do you not get tired of hugging K-Armadillo's nuts?

I started this gangsta sh-
Why do you say a complete stranger?. And no when people are making blatant lies and attacking somebody I respect I do feel obliged to respond out of respect and loyalty to them to correct the falsehoods. This will never stop, you can choose to accept it or be mad forever and spend your time speaking about it and getting irate.
Never hugged anyone's nuts. You are the 1 who is a self proclaimed shamless stan. I never get tired about talking about great Hip Hop and legends like K-Rino no. Why would I? I love Hip Hop and it's a Hip Hop board, it's the reason I'm here.

Regardless of the reasons, the numbers are there and not everyone is trolling. And like I mentioned, I'm not responsible for the trolls, my intention is to merely discuss the music. What everyone else does is up to them.

You are a known K-Salmon cheerleader. Look at all these posts you made defending your crush in one thread.

I will add a lot more to this Hip Hop history lesson later, but for now...
There, Beste documented a colorful subculture. His new book brought him home to Houston.
Since 2004, Beste has been working around the Third and Fifth Wards and South Park neighborhood, photographing the city's hip-hop scene, from its rappers to the fans in the nightclubs. With writer Lance Scott Walker and editor Johan Kugelberg, he's put together a new book, "Houston Rap," which tells the story of these neighborhoods and the artists and music they've produced.
Beste points out "some similarities between the two subjects: each culture has its own code of ethics and aesthetics and dress code; their own way of speaking in slang terms. They're both fringe musical subcultures that strongly represent a time and place.
"Ironically, I fit in more, at least physically, halfway around the world in Norway than in my own backyard in Houston."
But being an outsider, Beste says, proved an asset
.
"You notice the little intricacies of the neighborhoods, the people and the culture because you don't see them every day," he says. "We didn't approach them as artists to be put on pedestals, getting shot with lights and models. My style of photography is raw and simplistic. I'm trying to capture the essence of people beyond the façade."
Sometimes, that approach doesn't sit as well with the subjects. In one photo, rapper Klondike Kat poses with a puppy. "That's a good example," Beste says, "but I don't think he likes that photo very much. Still, in the rap community, we're used to the glamour, the glitzy photos with women and props and cars. I wanted to zoom out and show a more human element."
Walker says, "You can't blame anybody for being suspicious when a couple of white boys with cameras and recorders come into the neighborhood. There were people who didn't want to be involved, and some who didn't open up. But we got pretty good at explaining that we were trying to contextualize their work within the greater framework of Houston rap, and that the context of rap beyond Houston didn't factor in. We were looking at a subculture and not something and its place in a broader culture. Everybody wants to think their history is being respected and told."
"Houston Rap" includes some of the city's more famous rappers - guys like Bun B and the Geto Boys' Scarface and Willie D. But it also focuses on the city's rich long-running underground scene. K-Rino, the venerable founder of the South Park Coalition of rappers, was the first person Beste shot for the book.
"True Norwegian Black Metal" was nearly text-free. But by shooting Houston's hip-hop scene between 2004 and 2013, Beste needed more context for a Houston subculture that began to coalesce nearly two decades before he turned his camera to it. He contacted his friend Walker to conduct interviews to accompany the photographs. Walker had long conversations with dozens of local rap artists, resulting in an oral history of the city's scene as told by the people who shaped it. He had far too much material for "Houston Rap," so a second book with more emphasis on words than images called "Houston Rap Tapes" also is being published this month.
In addition to framing nearly two decades of the city's hip-hop history, Walker also had to bring to life the important artists who died before Beste began taking the photos - guys like DJ Screw and Fat Pat.
Both he and Beste were familiar with some of the music when they began the project, but both relied on the people they profiled and photographed to help, as Walker puts it, "connect the dots."
An interesting result of the research and documentation is a vision of a city changing, but a creative culture that hasn't. Beste says the Fourth Ward, in particular, has undergone tremendous transformation over the years, with new businesses and high rises. But other than an uptick in national interest in 2005, the music scene seems comfortably insular. National trends in hip-hop have had little effect on the sounds created by Houston's rappers. For one, the sense of legacy feels more valued here.
"Some of the oldest rappers in Houston - Willie D, K-Rino, Scarface - they're still active," Walker says.
"New generations keep coming up, but they seem intent on learning about the rich indigenous history of rap in Houston. Some of their parents went to see the Geto Boys early on. They grew up with this music in their house. They can't help but learn the history, because these artists are from their own city, and they hear them rap about the city in their songs.
"Some have retired, but you can count on one hand how many of them have left Houston for somewhere else. It's always been a self-sustaining rap economy."
Beste will head to town from New Mexico, where he's been working on another series of photos documenting another fringe subculture: UFO enthusiasts, followers and researchers. Walker has been living in New York for several years. He says he's "excited to come down and celebrate Houston and its culture. This book is a love letter to Houston."
