The "Fuck Rosie" single isn't on his MySpace anymore so I deleted the reference to it. - Anonymous 01/30/07

whoever said that it wasnt a battle between jin and cassidy is wrong, heres proof:

cassidy says: what happened youre album?... im going platinum like sisqo hair.....

jin says: hes seen better punchlines at the prom waiting for drinks....

thats directed at someone......oviously each other.....

www.radioblogclub.com  type in jin and it'll be half way down....that is the cassidy v jin battle oviously....

also when he says CHECK UR TIMBS...AS IN TIMBERLANDS ..the boots

Perhaps I am under the wrong impression, but searching on "Learn Chinese" should not lead me to this page.

John

my guess is that it shouldn't, it should bring up a search page but jin has a song called 'learn chinese'

where is the evidence that he supports the Chinese Nationalist (KMT) party? I highly doubt this, and am removing it from the article.--RA64 20:42, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

quote: You wanna say im' chinese sonny? here's a reminda/ check your TIPS they probably say "made in china" i have heard this over and over and seen the video many times and i am positive he says TIPS! as in tips of your trainers. i have never heard anyone call them your 'timbs' or 'tims.' if anyone wants to argue with me then please do so


 * "Tims" refers to Timberland boots. Jim Apple 14:09, 4 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Yeah i realised that he coulda been talkin bout that after watchin the vid a couple more times sorry but i still think he said 'tips' Desolationwilliams 23:57(GMT) 6 December 2005

 * Well, I know you can nominate a article for “featured” status... —Wiki Wikardo 00:20, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to edit that part about Jin battling Cassidy, they never battled, they simply freestyled over the same instrumental at the same radio station which is why when you listen to the audio track that Jin's verse is significantly shorter than Cass' as well as the lack of really personal disses between them since both could've brought up the fact that the other's albums don't sell or other things which usually come up when two emcees are as high-profile and well-known for their actions and pasts. There's a discussion of that fact here... http://www.hollafront.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1439832#post1439832 and you can hear the audio clip in question here: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.cfm?bandID=230934&songID=2170364

Jin is he still in ruff ryder
Is jin still in ruff ryder


 * no, he left after disputes with them, you can hear more about it in his newer albums.ne0rc

I'm not so certain, he probably has remaining contractual obligations to Virgin. Whodisbe 23:17, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Simplified/Traditional
Where’s Jin’s family from? Should this article include the simplified characters as in U.S. Chinatowns it’s mostly traditional? —Wiki Wikardo 00:20, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Jin's family is from hong kong 155.232.128.10 06:34, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

He does not speak Chinese. Watch any of the videos of him with Wang Lee Hom in Taiwan. While the interviewers and Lee Hom go on in Mandarin, he's just smiling politely. Also, I haven't seen a video of him speak Mandarin, nor does he speak it in any of his raps. -Terence P.S. It's Tims, as in Timberlands. Look up Tims on urbandictionary.

What do you mean he doesn't speak Chinese? Cantonese is Chinese. His parents are from HK, they all speak Canto there, Taiwan is all Mando. Of course he would just smile politely when people are talking Mandarin is completely different. Zarcath 23:04, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

I have heard him speak very little Mandarin in a video when he was in Taiwan. Also he speaks fluent Cantonese Chinese. BillSung

He rap and speak in Cantonese at a music program (shown on 2 July 2008) of TVB, which is a Hong Kong TV channel. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.189.4.1 (talk) 15:31, 2 July 2008 (UTC) they use traditional Chinese in Chinatown, but american universities teach Chinese in simplified. simplified is also easier to read, thats why its called simplified. many people's Chinese comprehension is not high enough to read traditional. language is used for communication. whats the point of writing in traditional if most people cant read it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Snappysammy (talk • contribs) 17:04, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

jin and cassidy
jin and cassidy never battled. if they did, wouldn't common sense tell you that it would be a huge event? wouldn't there be dozens of videos showing them battling? Messycans 15:27, 8 April 2007 (UTC) j.

Minor Edit
Not really sure who thought it was a good idea to throw a random nowiki tag in there, but taken care of. 63.226.38.135 08:53, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Tag
Uh... so what happened here? Why is there a tag on the article that says it has been edited excessively by Jin himself?  Lady   Galaxy  22:44, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

first Asian-American rapper signed to a major label?
Smilez and Southstar came before him. Weren't they signed to a major label? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.105.7.183 (talk) 07:41, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Chinese American
As his parents are described as Overseas Chinese and the article has a Category:Chinese American musicians tag, I've changed "American" to Chinese American in the lead, hope that's OK. 58.8.8.75 (talk) 18:54, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
