Jin Pulls A Hova

[Guest Blade]

Many people know jin to be one of the kings of freestyling in battle and as of last night it seems that the king has stepped down of his thrown with a rap that has been publishing the internet as "I Quit" the lyrics are below and it looks like Jin really is doing a HOVA and quiting.

Lyrics

"I Quit..."

Man, I was just tryin to eat

is this what happens?

yo I’mma do this in one take

cause if I gota do it again, it just

wasn’t meant to be…

yo Golden Child, I owe you big time

for this joint yo.

that’ s my word.

people, feel me.

I sit up nights let the beat loop

contemplate what to write

think you got me figured out but you’ll

never know what its like

to live my life the attempts to live up

to the hype

of being the nicest Asian to ever lift the mic

if I bite the dust while Im writin this song

then I might just end up right where I belong

amongst legends that’s how yall should

remember me gone but forever

existent in a memory

so I never ask for applause

if all goes well I’ll leave this earth

due to a natural cause

picture me with my grandkids 60 yrs old

watchin BET footage from 40 years ago

like “ya grandfather he use to be a beast

when it came time to battle

ain’t nobody wanna piece”

the way I tell the story they amazed Im older

tellin me “grandpa ya glory days is over”

flashback to the present moment

where the real battles just gettin started

and I’m my own opponent

ready to call it quits but gettin the busy tone

I might stop by radio and pull a Bizzy Bone

see my whole life changed in the last 4 yrs

a lot of laughter but definitely not without tears

I watched the asian rap community grow

first there was none now theres a few cats

that nobody knows

I suppose they label me the one that was

choosen to open doors for those that were

normally closed

who oughta get props I composed a list

in no particular order yo it goes like this

YungMAC the protégé LS is a beast

lyrically Snacky Chan Thai & FAReast

Liv n proof Shogun K Grey I’m with ya

we gota open our eyes and see the bigger picture

Jargon INVAZN On Fire get props REIGN ERA

Mountain Brothers holla at me Chops!

If I didn’t mention ya name don’t take it as a

dis you got my support if you takin it serious

sometimes my efforts seem unappreciated

I know I ain’t shit!! but hey at least I made it

this far for yall that didn’t wish me success

heres my biggest flaw I still wish yall the best

and thru it all I kept a level head listened

to GOD and ignored what the devil said

I can’t leave rap alone the game needs me

hard to let go cause none of this came easy

how many times do I gota prove myself!?

do I really gota battle EM and Lose Myself!??

106 The Fight Klub Smack DVD

a classic CD well at least it was to me

what else can you do to me I went to war

with the radio station on behalf of my community

bout to retire pull a Hova I quit

no more its over for Jin Im tired that’s it.

-----------------

I think that the rap game has lost someone great who repped the asian community and really only one of the best asian rappers to come out.

Jin is pretty good, but to call him the kind is just rediculous. Yes, he's the most popular Asian rapper, but he's not one of the kings of freestyling. I think it sucks that he's retiring, If he ends up doing that. He might be taking a break or something.

[Lowerdeck]

He had one album and he's quitting? Not sell enough records or something?

Because god knows record sales are everything.

So I'm sort of sitting here pondering a few things.

First off, maybe I should explain the motivation behind the song itself. I wrote "I Quit" because its what the track told me to do. Yes, it sounds sort of odd, but once my ears heard that instrumental, I felt like it was saying to me.."this is the path you must follow.." and then I sort of just let the pen and my heart do the talking. Not my brain. It gives me the the utmost honor to see how some folks are so adamant about me not quiting..or "giving up". Trust me, I am not giving up. Quite a few of you have expressed sentiments such as "you cant give up, you havent even done this or that yet.." Maybe what needs to be focused on is what I have accomplished (which in my heart is a whole lot and I'm damn proud of that) with my time as opposed to what I haven't accomplished yet...Some folks even feel that maybe I'm feeling this way because I feel I've "failed" (record sales, or having to deal with "haters", etc.) That's the farthest from the truth. For what it's worth, I know that the 100,000 (give or take, since some of you went and bought like 5 copies lol) of ya'll that went out and bought T.R.I.H. did it solely because you were supporters of me and my music...and not because the radio or tv brainwashed you into thinking I'm the hottest shit out there, being that I was barely on either one.

Nonetheless, I've always said this and I'm sticking by it: I have the illest fans in the world and those of you that have ever met me or interacted with me know I am grateful for each and everyone of you. My goal since I started doing this was no more than to represent for hiphop and represent for my people. Which I will never stop doing, whether I'm in the game or not.

Before I lose my train of thought, I just wanted to clear up some of the misconceptions and rumors. "Jin" is done. No more studio for me. In all reality, it's not like it's a big deal. I'm sure MTV NEWS or BET.com aren't exactly gonna be flashing bulletin boards that say "JIN RETIRES!!!". Hahah. Matter of fact, if some folks were to hear the news they'd probably react like "who gives a shit?" or maybe even.. "Jin's retiring?..shit, he never even dropped an album!" lol and thats the damn truth. However, for those of you that are true JINatics and some that I even consider my friends, I thought I'd share my decision with ya. Be happy for me.

No matter what, I know that 10 years from now, when we have more than enough representatives within the entertainment industry in general, people will always trace back and be like.."damn remember 10 years ago, that chinese kid was on BET..the one that signed with the R...yea he had that Speak Chinese song!" hahah. That puts a smile on my face.

If you really wanna know what I'm looking forward to its this: www.yofam.net Support that!

*Just a thought* Them 2F2F checks weren't too bad and going to movie premiers was pretty fun. Maybe I should seriously devote myself to an acting career. The oppurtunities are definitely there.

"Jin" has left the building...but the emcee will always be here.

Just remember: I wasn't the first. And I certainly will not be the last.

IMO he is a g reat freestyler and to lose him is mad personally i think that he was suffering because he was on RR with D-Block and Jada. i think he should of followed the ways of cassidy,eve and jay-z and took his ball and left a long time ago

[YI]

Over the summer I fucking adored that "I'm gonna learn chinese" song. It was top quality stuff. Shame he's giving it up, the songs i've heard (Only two) were both really good.

[DMN in the House]

Who wants to taste my General Tso?

You want a pice of my General Tso?

I’m gonna give it to you now

Who like my chopsticks

Hit you in the shit with my littlest dick

Yellow

If you wanna see me, eat jell-o

I’ve never seen nothing like you before

I can kick you...

Higher than you can kick me

I can kick you way up into a tree

Who wants a taste of my Oolong Tea?

Ho ha ho ha ho chi chi

Everybody in the phonebook named Chang

Wanna see my wang

Never could go and hit the gong with a BANG

Waaaah

Everybody wanna see me throw a fireball

But that’s not right

Not in real life

You will fall

Down and break your leg

Everybody wanna see me break an egg

Well I don’t

But I like fried rice

And I got lice

Ching chang woo ching wang woo wice

That ain’t nice

For a fortune cookie

I always charge you twice

Delivery’s free

But not from me

I always charge a dollar fifty

55 Wanna see me go-gah?

Hit you with the line

Howwwwyyyyaaah

War when I hit you with the shit

Do a split, take a shit, after you eat my shit

Kungfu, Want my buffet?

You fucking gay

Ah, Wai-Lo hit you with the hay

Stay the fuck away, hit you in the balls

Only Americans eat duck sauce

And my soy sauce is for you

I can put it in your shoe

Watch this, I can tiptoe while you take a piss

In my bathroom, spy on you and while your little boy shits

Hooowyaaaah

I can kick you if you don’t pay the bill

And if you want a little mint that’s fifty cents- bitch

everything costs a little bit

So don’t expect nothin for free

At least from me

Ching chang choo wee

I got you from Taiwain City

And Hong Kong

And I can smoke a bong

And I can do it all night long

And don’t mistake me for a Viet Cong

I can get you and tackle you, take you

Never see me when I get you and bake you

Rope you up

And put you in a bamboo cage

And make you feel all my rage

Poke you with a little stick till you

Page your buddies to come Napalm me

God damn that shit burn blew away my whole city

Ho-Chi-Minh, shoot a load on your chin

goddamn that's a sin

that’s a goy-go goodbye

And if you want to come on in

You can work into my world

Where the yellow should begin

Hoooyyyaaaah

Can’t be tamed

I got to control your brain and it's called

Egg fu yung, and lo mein

So come on in baby and have it just the same

Hooooyyyyaaahhh Haaaa

No wok ung tow dayday

[Psicosis]

Drunken freestyle was better, BRITCHES~!
