Such a tremendous loss, I bought his cassette the month it came out in 1996

chino, the whole heiro crew, wu, ras kass....meeting heads to smoke and have a cypher....what a time that was

[@onionhortonjr]

So what

[@MrWilliamsAte]

Even Eminem wanted to be like Chino. His vocabulary and level of wordplay was unmatched. Nobody could touch him. Thats why industry rappers never spoke about him. He was spooky. Thats also why they made him go last in this cypher --->kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKDXiJ2FrbSKgtksi=bzWfVesPq9X7enZZ We will never forget you Chino. Thank You.

[@panche6513]

Oó u better believe dat wholeheartedly

[@ishaking6278]

I like Chino, and appreciate his talent, yet it is an overstatement to say that he has the best wordplay and vocabulary. He was dope, but not the best.

[@MrWilliamsAte]

@@ishaking6278 The only one I've ever heard close or better was Daylyt

[@ishaking6278]

@@MrWilliamsAte Vocabulary wise Lupe, Aesop, Myka 9, GZA and many others are better, while Eminem, Daylyt, Lupe, DOOM, King Los, Cambatta... beat him at wordplays.

[@frankharris3889]

I met Chino in high school.(CJS) I remember how we used to tell him, "We know you're saying some ish but you're rhyming too fast. 😂 " Can't think of anyone that didn't like him. He was always cool with everyone. R.I.P. Chino E.O. is celebrating your life.

[@vicegripp]

Chino XL changed the way I wrote rhymes when I discovered his music in highschool thanks to Napster. He was one of the most complex punchline lyricists in rap music history. #RIPCHINOXL much love & healing energy to his family, his kids & grandkids.

Rest in Peace, Chino. I remember you. Ridiculously lyrical. I Thank GOD for your life, gifts and talents.

[@anthonymcmillan8273]

I was FLOORED when I heard the news of his passing! I was a fan since his first single "Kreep" and his first album "Here to save you all(96)"! He was one of the 🐐 punchline 👑 s and he'll diss pop culture if necessary! Very talented behind the 🎤, music video cameo's and in movie's as well. I appreciate that ET of all programs to do a story on him. Glad that he's slowly receiving his flowers that are LONG OVERDUE!! Hopefully this generation of hip hop fans in due time will check out his catalog of music! His first 2 albums are my favorites. "Here to save you all(96)" and "I told you so(01)". He's sorely missed by the hip hop community and those that met him through passing. What a HUGE LOSS in hip hop! Rip Chino XL 🙏!!

[@IvanZavala-e2m]

I am still in shock that he had died so sudden it is heartbreaking when people that you know all if a sudden they just die from an illness but no matter what they are in my heart forever

@@vu4uboo582 this is a vague statement. It's like telling your son that he can archive whatever he wants. Fact of the matter is that Chino absolutely didn't. And there's nothing that indicates that he could have. People didn't gravitate to him like they did to Eminem, X, Pac, etc.

Chino was a genius, Pac was the most overrated rapper to ever live. No disrespect but there's no comparison between the two. Pac's music uses a 3rd grade level vocabulary.

[@Confucius202]

​@@diligentpurpose6272if it's so easy, why don't you write a song yourself that is on a low level like Tupac? Chino and him were doing two completely different things. "Ambitionz az a ridah", "Hail Mary", "Picture me rollin" are pieces of art that Chino couldn't have done. Just like Tupac couldn't do what Chino did. There's a reason though why one was vastly more successful than the other.
