[Threnody]

Nobody fits the true definition like Chino XL the most forced, too many word using going off beat just to be
more lyrical than needed and coming back to the beat late for the sake of spiting even more lyrics on top of that

He was lyrical to the point where it was wack his shyt was only good if you saw it written down on paper
If he toned it down a bit and made shyt smooth he might have been one of the illest
the fact that he didn't have anybody around him to tell him this or he couldn't see it himself is kinda sad and on top of that unlike a canibus
he had ZERO style to him so he came off like a broken typewriter

Never heard a project from dude, but being from Jersey and hearing Pac diss him is the only reason I'm aware of the guy.

I always thought of like in the 90’s you had to have your own style. Biting or imitation was considered taboo. So maybe Chino XL was trying think “outside of the box” and instead of dressing gimmicky his uniqueness would be bars on bars on bars.


Just a thought I always had. No proof to back it up

 

[Zero]

Keith Murray?

This is the correct answer. Chino XL was all over the place but Keith Murray literally made up words to sound more lyrical.

It's a dope verse. Shouldn't have taken it off.
