What if Dr Dre Discovered ChinoXL?

Dubcnn: Yeah, I feel that. Anyway, Greyson always says that Eminem stole his whole style of rhyming and persona from you and you were Em’s biggest lyrical inspiration. Have you heard that before?

I’ve heard that from some people… and me and Proof were pretty close and I know that in that area in Detroit they had their battle culture going on over there. Here to Save You All [Chino XL’s debut album] was veered as a very, very heavy lyrical album and Jay-Z told me himself when I worked with him that he was influenced by that, but anyway, I was listened to a lot in that [Detroit] area and I probably helped influence their sound. The uncanny thing is that Em and I probably have a lot of the same influences like [Kool] G Rap and so forth. And also numerologically speaking, he is a eight and I am a eight -- but he’s had problems with his kid’s mother and he has problems with his [own] mother and those are the kinds of things that you can’t fake and he didn’t get his life circumstances from me and he couldn’t have emulated that. Let’s just say that Eminem and I have traveled along the same rhythm a lot.

What does that have to do with anything? Let's say if Andre where interested. Chino wouldn't release an album. Probably would have been used as a ghostwriter.

Aftermath has always been sales conscious. They only release albums from artist they have confidence in. Aftermath has been around for nearly 20 years & has only released 21 albums. The artists that disappointed as far as sales where immediately dropped (truth hurts, busta). It's almost impossible to get an album released in that camp.

Look what happened to rakim and redman

Serious question....i've never really listened to either, but get their style........how does he stack against K-RIno

I hate when people say Em stole his style from Chino... literally the only similar thing between the two is dissing celebrities in their bars. Em didn't steal his shyt from Cage either.

If Em stole his style from ANYBODY, its Redman. But i think its more of an influence than a straight up jacking.

chino clearly had influence on eminem.
