stupid guy~~~

ilvtofu 12-19-2010 10:10 AM

Donald should've rapped more

G-spec 12-19-2010 10:31 AM

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

I don't live in HK nor do I follow MC Jin but these are my thoughts on how successful he has become over there. I basically see this guy pretty often now from hosting shows, commercials to even seeing him in a movie etc. Now my knowledge of the Hip Hop scene in HK is poor but from what I recall other rappers like LMF, 34 Herbs etc never made it this big in terms of being mainstream and accepted like this. I think it's safe to say he has made it pretty good in HK terms at least.

dachinesedude 12-19-2010 12:49 PM

Jin shouldnt be called a sell out, everyone knows that he would never make it big in the US, not because he isnt good, its just that people there would never accept a "chinese rapper" there, i mean look at white rappers, there arent many of those that are successful either, and US is somewhat a white country.

I like his move to HK, just shows how shitty hong kong rappers are. He goes there as a ABC but owns all those 34 Herbs crap at their own language in freestyle. He's going where the money is, at the end of the day gotta make a living, nothing wrong with that

SURE WIN :thumbsup:

StylinRed 12-19-2010 01:10 PM

it hurt me to even watch a little bit of that

im sure he's happier acting like a goofball in HK than he would have been acting hardcore in LA; pretty sure he's more famous than he would be too

rslater 12-19-2010 01:11 PM

Its unfortunate because he will now NEVER MAKE IT in the US. I mean what would he rap about? Rehabilition from gang life to HK life? He can't rap about guns anymore or living the thug life.

SpuGen 12-19-2010 01:53 PM

Guys.
It's 24Herbs. not 32.

And 24Herbs is crap. They attempt to mimic whatever is popular in NA in Canto.

The 2nd song is about Huge Cleavage, but the girls in the video have average sized tits.

What the fuck.

yellowpower 12-19-2010 02:20 PM

Chinese rap SUCKS! Its not cause Jin isn't a good rapper, its just that its extremely hard to make Canto sound good in a rap song. Anyone else agree??

rapping is just a charismatic way of talking and making it rhyme to a beat.

you can do that in any language.

You dont have to define what rap is to prove your point. But the fact is, most of the rhymes in canto songs are WEAK. Using simple ass words to rhyme one after the other.

yellowpower 12-19-2010 02:41 PM

But I do agree tho, this song in particular is charismatic for the public and all.

StylinRed 12-19-2010 02:51 PM

only HK rap artists worth listening to



well and early Jordan Chan but he's not really a rapper more of a pop guy

To be honest, my cantonese is not that strong. It's not my mother tongue anyways. But here's a cantonese song with FLOW. The artist is from Malaysia. MC Yan comes out in the end.


yellowpower 12-19-2010 03:03 PM

^Its alright. But if its not your mother tongue then please don't argue. I'm a CBC but i can speak canto very fluently so i know.

ZhangFei 12-19-2010 03:13 PM

I posted the song for you to critique it. Are the rhymes simple and weak?
