Should Chino do a rap song on Eros?

[mr.sinister]

yeah i think a song with some rapping would be okay on a new album. the rapping on engine no. 9 kills. they should try and do something like that.

but yeah I also think that those days of the deftones are over. chino hasn't rapped in a song since around the fur, really.

[Alvar]

it shouldnt be hip-hop-rapping like in BTS.

just some combination of rapping and screaming like in rapture (since chino cant really scream anymore like he did in the past), i'm sure
he can do crazy things with his vioce to make it sound agressive or just weird.
but rapping is not essentially needed anymore, their style changed to much.

[Deadradio]

No rapping

[deftonesboy]

I think rapping would be great on the new album, if its done right. Chino sounds great when he raps, would love to hear another song or two lke that.

[theshadeisatool]

Like I said people into rock and rock bands would not have touched rapped vocals or hip-hop in the post-nu metal era (ie 2001/2002+) because of the connotations it brings - limpbizkit, Linkin Park, Rapcore,etc.. It seems, with the dust settled, more acceptable now, if it's done in a meaningful, perhaps intelligent way. I'm not talking about about Engine #9 or BTS-type rapping but more staccato vocals and hip-hop-esque beats (particularly pre-gangsta) wouldn't seem as bad as before.

[occipudding]

i like that live disney cover song.  that was cool.

[ignore the fashion]

like you wouldnt go gaga over a song like teething

teething will always be my favorite deftones song.

i just simply fucking love it. its agressive and raw.

[13hourstoparadise]

answer: No.

[rainnyx4]

I brought this idea up before and I said that for the most part their music just doesn't fit rapping into it very well anymore.  Maybe more trip-hop type stuff (Lucky You, PCP, King Diamond, etc.) but that's it.

[13hourstoparadise]

I think live is fine, just not on the album... 

[Fireal1222]

lets see if chino can even hit a high note before we worry about if whether or not he can rap

chino is fat and only getting fatter.

[Shaye]

chino is fat and only getting fatter.

LMFAO. I love Chino, but he needs to stop that shit.

[mr.sinister]

really? i looked like he was slimming down a bit.

[13hourstoparadise]

really? i looked like he was slimming down a bit.

He totally is...

[White Pwny]

He is.  I stood next to him in June.. and he looks SO much thinner in real life than on TV and such.    He is NOT that big.   Maybe the ppl that constantly call him fat.. are just really fucking tiny.
