Shingo in Japanese means new word or a new take on old words. I have yet to find out what the 2 means though. It makes sense though and I always enjoy his lyrics.
fuck commercial music, they all need to listen to music like this and be ashamed of themselves, i cant stop listening to this, everybody should get a dose of shing and stop shooting eachother
But yeah he's from california and is listened to by man y hip hop heads out here, I wouldn't say it has to do with racism. Most people don't put time into listening to underground hip hop such as this,
im so glade i discoverd his music, if it wasnt for Samurai Champloo i would of never found Shing02 i love there music Nujabes is a great artist as well
Sorry everyone that think his music should be in US, but it will never be mainstreamed in the US. Why? Because the world is pretty racist. No lies, there are more haters out there then lovers. Anyways, his music is so deep and touching unlike hip hop today.... Most of the new hip hop song that come out today will talk about "bang bang bang or how gangster they r" Pretty sad, True music is going deep in the hole. And u no y? People with the desire to think or feel whats true are the minority.
It has nothing to do with race...remember Jin? He was known pretty well in the mainstream.. Shing02 and plenty of rappers of all races stay underground because they aren't obsessed with money or fame. Record corporations only look for rappers appealing to what sells..which happens to be materialism, guns, money, degrading women, ect. Most of the hip hop today is still going strong, its just deep, deep underground. Anything on the radio or tv called "hip hop" is watered down garbage.
Agreed, most alleged hiphop on the t.v or radio is garbage(one of the reasons why i dont listen to the radio) if anything underground hiphop sounds better and have sicker beats like this song..
Most songs on the radio won't be played unless its a song people can dance too like soulja boi?
No one likes calm beats anymore which is unfortunate because alot of good songs have slow calm relaxing beats such as this song...
The underground will always stay alive, to quote Preemo: 'we're like roaches, we don't die'
There are some radio shows however keepin real hiphop alive. Suggest you all listen to wefunk radio. Real hiphop and soul. Just search for it in google, def worth it.
Honest truth, you're too slow to keep up with his flow, too slow to comprehend the lyrics he spits, I'm pretty sure you can understand lyrics like, "i'm gonna buy my boo a nice car" or "in the club with these hoes" or "kiss me through the phone".
See cause with hip hop like this they actually choose their words and have a well organize verse.
Shing02 is creative with his work so don't sweat it cause you don't know dope.
Very Nice to me. Its soo KOOLL!!! :)... This puts the actually race of hip hop. which would primarily be black people, to shame.. and i am black..so im not being racist.. Most of rappers nowadays cant even think this deep to put these types of messages in their songs.
shing02 is the best he need to keep it up. hip-hop need more people like him. he goes perfect with nujabes and other artist. more people in the states need the listen to him but we don't like music with mean . but i do. i am a new fan so i'm just now find out whats new and what old but who cares his is still tight. and as a 15 yeat old boy of this hip-hop world he keep the culture up for those of us who don't rap in the hip-hop wolrd

Its seperate from MTV in America..
All of SHING02's songs should be known in America cause he's more fluent than all the other "sell-outs"...but hey...that's commercialism these days...
Just enjoy that he is doing what he loves...that's all...
