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

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.

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
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.
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.

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.
