    Chino XL is the second best emcee ever, right after Kool G. Rap. I think he definitely has the potential to be the absolute best. I'm lovin the RICANstruction cover. Best album artwork I've seen in a minute.

    Thanks a lot for all of the years of entertainment, the amount of knowledge I gained from you, and most of all your influence.

    Take care and stay safe.
