Why hasn't a Mexican rapper popped off?

[Turk]

considering the size of the Mexican population I would have really thought it would have happened by now

[Da King]

Technically, its B-Real with Cypress Hill.
If you mean mainstream, there are Mexican rappers that had mainstream appeal, but were never on the popular level like Drake or 50 Cent.

Frost
Lighter Shade of Brown
Lil Rob
SPM
Baby Bash
All had top charting singles, and definitely got a strong fan base in the Mexican community. The rest of the US not so much.

The problem is, most Chicano rappers, don't want to expand outside of the Chicano Rap world and don't want to "sell" out even though half their albums sound like a generic mainstream album. They often limit themselves with topics, nothing but gangbanging and other stupid shyt. Definitely, not enough substance. There are only very few Chicano rappers, that are even good. Way too many garbage one's out there and this is coming from someone who grew up on this music.

They don't have any one in key positions in rap industry on a higher level...rather as executives, radio besides Julio G in L.A., probably the Texas market, or no big label connections....

I see a lot on a independent circuit

This! Pocos Pero Locos is the biggest platform we have and that isn't shyt whatsoever.

The southwest market is huge, but not begin enough to truly expand. All these Chicano rappers have shows all the time in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado and California, but outside of that most listeners hit Chicano rappers with the

Snow tha product is on her way

She is on her way, her music is hit or miss with me, but my god, I wanna pipe shorty so bad though

King Lil G is actually coming out too and has dope music out too. He's actually working with Nipsey Hussle and Bun B, artist like that instead of sticking with the same Chicano rappers.

He ain't Mexican (he's Cuban) but I fukked with AG Cubano tough back in the day, he had a dope flow and he could really spit. He sold out and changed his sound for the worse though when he got on MMG Latino or whatever the fukk. He used to be raw forreal though



"Six-Sev Chevelle, dub deuces call em Hot Wheels
Run up on my whip and you gon see how that chop feels
Six-Sev Chevelle, dub deuces call em Hot Wheels,
we call em Hot Wheels, yo...
You think you know me well?
My first case was possession with intent to sell
And it's still five whops for a quarter quelo
Serran wrappin, money mackin, trappin through the mail
No trace no name fukk jail,
Judge labeled me a flight risk and revoked bail
First day out, I'm back with a sack and a hand-scale
My money good from last year, my bread is not stale
I like my white girl pale, that's how I like ale
The police on my tail like the paparazzi
I ain't going back man I'm going kamikaze, this Chevelle got paws see
I'ma take em on one if them boys try to stop me

Playing with my payment, you'd catch a fade man
Get razor-blade shaving, I been pacing
impatient, waiting for arraignment
I'ma need a lawyer before I make a statement
creating shaping, young homies to be just like me
grind ruthless and leave a sucka toothless
For woofin on ya name truthless on movements
Speaking on nikkas you ain't cool with I cool whip, cruise dip
With a half brick, ollie-up and kick-flip
Break it down to kick zips, Taking trips on toes tips
All I got is my balls and my dikk
And I earned my respect, have heart, have hustle-muscle biceps
Pyrex and projects, cucarachas
Mobstas and shottas, broke nikkas and shoppers
Some are still boys, and some fathers
Block monsters, under your bed and in your closet"

B-Real half messican aint he.....They were a platinum selling group in the early and mid 90s,i would consider that popping off.
