Jin: Amazing Asian Rapper ???

[xsdsport]

Only in hip hop is the emergence of a non-black artist considered a phenomenon. Rap and race are so interminably and inextricably intertwined in our cultural psyche that any sign of change is treated with a mix of awe and uncertainty...then came along Jin, the amazing Chinese rapper, BET freestyle battle champion, and rising media star.

Is Jin a legitimate rapper? Can he hang with the likes of 50? Eminem? or Dre?

[DatNutyNut]

never heard bout Jin actualy but 50 is a joke for hiphop and dre is a producer not lyricist...Eminem i don' kno',ain't he white but still got legimate 'nugh to b with coloured artists so i don' see a problem with Asian-Jin...

PEACE

[Divine Write]

what are you talking about the color thing for?.......you have no idea the number of artist in underground that are not black

plus there is Hip-Hop all over the world....there are British, Asian(who did it in there native tongue), German(who do it in there native tongue), English, French(who do it in there native tongue) rappers and many many more that I don't feel like listing right now

and Jin is alright in freestyling and battling but when he writes stuff it's garbage...I heard some and none of it is worth time listing to

[JadeFoxx]

its obvious that jin has battling skills and hes sick wit that
but as far as writing a actual song.... i dunno.... ive only heard 1 joint... it was alright.... nuthin amazing....
if u wanna talk about hot asian rappers... Skillz is definitely in that category (i think)... he can hang

[REDUCABLE]

lol yes he could 'hang' with the likes of eminem (mainstream artist, extremely over rated) 50 (erm, what the fuck happened to that fag) dre, definitly (alls i have to say about dre is hes a joke, and should have no respect as a rap artist)

so if you consider them 'top doggs' jin would be taking over, but he isnt that good imo, battling is good, some punchlines are ill, but he aint always got it...cassidy is the one who you should be lookin for

[-Trauma-]

Jin succs at makin rap songs.... he's sicc as fucc in freestylin.... but that looks like its a far as it goes for rite now.....

[FlamingDragon]

graet rapper

[chinesemcee]

sikk azz freestyler....yet to prove himself with actual written tracks...

[Braiki]

Jin is ill at freestylin, check his battle against sean nicholas at BET friday freestyle week 4 i think or 7
i heard 1 song for him n it aint that good, he got a problem with his accent, but i give him a 10/10 in freestylin, nywayz i think asian ppl think faster than others thaz why :twisted:

[jin's a g]

jin's sick when it comes to battles, like when that guy was makin fun of him for being asain, but i gotta agree, he sucks when it comes to wrtiting lyrics

[Yung Stylez]

I got influenced into freestyle by Jin.. my fave Emcee..

He takes that he's chinese as an advantage.. great advantage.. 8)

[kevcoo]

yo i agree wit erbody about the lackin writing talent so clearly the answer is no he cant hang...em dre and 50 can all write and they can all free...jin can only free therefore his game is not complete and he not yet at that level

[DatNutyNut]

eminem can write,Dre (rmmbr this) is a producer not a writer and 50 might b like Jin he can't write good(he use to but i think the fame has sweeped his feet)

PEACE
yeah eminem ain't overrated or "mainstream" MC,he got skills for god sake

[GrandTheft]

hiphop has never been 1 color its always been diverse....Jin is a hott Freestylin MC..but none of you cats herd his mixtape stuff....thats how u know jin freestyles..but mixtape them big mike mixtape cd's and kay slay jams..now he is kickin fire on those....

eminem still is being lookd at as a white rapper..and i have reasons to believe he kinda fake..only thing real is his rapstyle....but the rest a joke..

dr.dre..he is a producer..but weak as a spitta...sorry to say...

50 cent and g-unit are a east coast version of what the NWA used to be when Easy-E was alive...n they from NYC....NYC has alot of respect for them...but not me..they just gangsta rappers from my borough...with a grimey style ya know....

i thought i would liven up this convo...Jin can spit freestyle and tracks..he good...i got this one track on the Big Mike cruel summer mixtape..shit is fire..he talks about dick ryders and the real mc' gettin overlookd..its fire too..

Jin belongs in the industry..he got real raw skills...

[Vexation]

I've heard some of fiftys mixtapes and I have to say I was impressed. I hate 50 Cents indendtity in the rap game right now if that nuimber of zeros were wiggled under my nose I wouldn't have to think twice.

I like 50 Cents diss to wu-tang, that about as far as it goes.

Jin, I like the guy but I'm not one to jump on his dick cause he's got slanted eyes... shit ask Chinesemcee, countless times i've dissed him for laughs and vice-versa.

[MEZmerise]

he is dope.....

[Ill-J]

dre and em are sick as hell but 50 and jin are wack

[dev dollaz]

MY MAN CAME ALL THE WAY FROM COMPTON TO WATCH ME PUT U TO SHAME//AND HE KNEW I WUZ REEL CUZ GAME RECONIZE GAME.......

-Jin VS Shellz

[da.south]

hes a 6.9 outta 10 song rappa

[Va's best kept secret]

freestlye battling...Jin can hang almost..(except for cassidy murdered him) but he hung for the most part wit punches like " ive seen better punch lines at the prom waiting for drinks"....writting lyrics...probly the biggest joke ever..has any1 heard "learn chinese"?? possibly the worst song ever played on the radio...stick to battling and get a ghost writer i say....and as for the Eminem haters posting shit...get ya facts straite cuz Em is legit and 1 of the rap games legends...get it straite

[Masta-Mind]

jin is most probley the best non african america freestyler ever. even tho he made his song i quit to try get outta the game. but yea hes one of the best....better than young buck

[Cesar]

I like jin
He soudns like em tho
so its not as cool
but he could air out alot of people

[pushingtheboundary]

uhhh what has colour got to do with whose good and who isn't :?

[Cesar]

I agree with Ptb Since when does color effect Rhymes

[Yung~Lyr1ci5t]

jin is ma idol.as i am asian jin is one of the freestyles eva.he needs to get a betta record and leave ruff ryderz and join BWS or Gunit

[Czar]

Jin is one of the best battle rappers but he got ripped by cassidy (The best lyricist) As far as makin songs it aint workin he quit anyway

[+Imperio+]

as for battlin jin is pretty tight. he has spat a lot of good lines of freestyle friday. tho his writtens are pretty weak

[C Murphy]

aiite let's get this shiet settled
first off- Jin WAS the best battle rapper to hit our television screens...he destroyed everyone in his path...when it comes to freestyle- his MOST DEFINATELY- YOU CANT DENY IT- UP THERE...he may not be number 1 for u Cassidy fans out there...but his up there

The rest is history albumn was definately wack...but then again...he never really dropped any songs before that albumn...Ruff Ryderz just wanted to use his sudden wave of fame to make some quick cash...he hadn't developed his song writing skills yet- cause remember- most the cats in this game were out on mixtapes after mixtapes, performances after performances before they got signed -you feel me? but he could flow

back in the day Jin even had a soundclick page floating around and the stuff on there...well his freestyle were aiite- but he had no real songs ya know...just like anyone u elevate your song writing skills- but ur first coupe of drops are going to be wack as hell...dont get me wrong..he was still 100 times better than Perky hahaha just playing son...but his drops were by our standards newb shiet

since he left Ruff Ryders - he wasn't really quitting rap- it was just quitting ruff ryder...he set himself up more with Crafty Plugz/Draft record label and released another albumn- called "The Emcees Properganda."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lc311i9G-xM

thats a video clip of one of his singles off that albumn...it's A LOT BETTER MAN...cause his hype has died down abit- and the budget is a LOT smaller... it sold less and there was barely any promotion for it...but if you listen to it his song writing skills have elevated 100 fold and as i said before- it's from experience...but i think the production level isn't as good as shiet u find on The rest is history albumn with kanye west dropping beats etc u feel me. Nevertheless he has improved as an artist.
