Unshocking Revelation: Chicano Spoof Rapper Is A Walking Punchline
30 July 2007, 5:02 PM. By Carlos Posas
In the wake of news that branding whore / rapper Chingo Bling has landed his own record imprint, we bring you his oldie, but goodie music video for “Taco Shop”. The closest we’ll ever get to a Chicano “Weird Al” Yankovic already has a list of products to his name (e.g., hot sauce, bobble heads, coloring books), and will soon add his second studio release, “They Can’t Deport Us All”, to such an impeccable repertoire. When we watch a clip like the one above, we can’t decide whether we’re laughing with Chingo Bling or at him. Either way, he gets the same reluctant attention we give to our unfunny, adolescent cousin who insists on becoming a comedian; occasionally, it pays off with comic gold.

The endless supply of video ho’s out there who will do anything for exposure, including bathing in a tub full of sour cream and shredded lettuce, never fails to amaze me. Stay classy, Houston.
Chicano Weird Al? Hardly. Most of the time — well, about half the time — Yankovic lays down his own beats & riffs. Chingo, on the other hand, is absolutely recycling the weak-ass hook from Fifty Cent’s swan-song. (I will defend to the end “Get rich or die tryin’” (the lp, not the movie), but the follow-up never should have seen release.) I think the more apt caucasian analogue to C.B. then is Har-Mar Superstar. & if the Anglos aren’t going to call Har-Mar out & blackball him, then I hardly see why it would be fit for La Raza to condemn Chingo.
… All that said, the other rapper in the video can flow, a little. Not that it redeems the song.
(Oh. & who says drizzling a fine-ass “ho” with guac is not erotically-charged? I’ve been there — well, not with guac — & it was… fantastic.)
you’d think a new york centric world view would develop an understanding of satire, performance art, and pomo irony (esp pomo irony), but given your glib dismissal of chingo bling w/ cherry picked descriptions it appears that’s not the case. east coast’s loss. tejano power, cabrones!
