Jin - I Gotta Love

Sick track and if you've been following Jin from his website you'll probaly heard this track 2-3 weeks ago. Produced by sample king Kanye West. Jin is finally catching on fire. Woot! I made a post about him when his first single first hit the net and now he's signed to Ruff Ryder.

I don't know about Jin. His freestyles are funny and all and I can appreciate the Chinese humour, but his songs about loving Asian women and "Learn Chinese" are stupid. And he doesn't hesitate to further the Asian stereotypes of eggrolls etc. Thumbs down.

I agree that "Learn Chinese" doesn't help with the sterotyping of chinese, however i'm glad to see a chinese artist hitting it big.

weak.

he had my support when he was freestylin' a couple years ago... but his tracks don't deliver. there's nothing special about them, and they're REALLY boring... he needs to get crazy like eminem did, and start taking shots at other people. that's what was so good about jin's freestyles; he had a mofo infront of him, and he lit his ass on fire. now his only battle is with the microphone, and he ain't doing too well.

and if he's gonna be on the ruff ryder's label, he should at least start barking and shit. get dmx, drag-on, and some swiss beatz up in his tunes. get ruff! cuz this pussy rap isn't gonna cut it.

yeah all of the tracks ive heard of his so far are pretty hurting. hes just a novelty right now, and that isnt gonna cut it for much longer. hes gotta switch up his style like bob said. the only reason eminem was able to survive was because he learned how to adapt and make people take him seriously. jin has gotta do the same thing before people just start thinking of him as 'that chinese guy'.

^ yeah this friday, Richards

I wanna go, I think it will be a sweet show.

Tim, I'm definitely feelin' Jin. And Learn Chinese is a sweet track - he's not trying to stereotype, it's crystal clear (to me, at least) that the whole track is a joke!

if the whole track is a joke, at least make it funny. it gets the gouda award in my books.

i agree. when i first saw him battling on BET i was surprised and impressed. then i heard that he signed to ruff ryders and i was hyped but to my dissapointment i havn't heard anything decent in my opinion in term of his tracks. he definatly has the skill and he should use them. and yea drop that whole asian stereotype and chinese stuff. being chinese myself im still happy to see that he made atleast made it somewhere so far. hopefully he will go further
