can any of you guys fill me in on how successful he is in Asia now? and how is his lyrical vocab is compared to when he rapped in English, cuz he was a sick freestyler we all know that, he could lay down crazy verses I'm curious to see if that translated over well when he started rapping in canto
Born n raised in the US, went from naggered out style, bald head hip hop wear to looking like a typical asian guy, looks like a completely different person. Some call it textbook sellout tactic, but people interested in money would call it good business.
Seems to me he's making much more money in Asia than he ever did here in North America
so from this
to this
Jin's success is only relative to where he makes his career.
His American career went nowhere, and was going nowhere, despite him being a decent rapper. But compared to his Asian peers, in Asia, he's done pretty well for himself.
I don't understand the Cantonese dialect one bit, but purely based on his lyrics, I would say he was better as an American rapper.
But that's largely because the rap scene is Asia tries much too hard to emulate American rap while maintaining a sense of originality. When you try to be original by emulating something else, you end up with a bunch of wannabe actors.
