Ok, y’all, after checking my stats, I have noticed that more than once, one of the search terms people used to find my website was “chingo bling died yesterday”. So I decided to look into this mater. The rumor is that Chingo Bling was killed in a car accident on his way to a low rider car convention. This rumor is spreading fast and I was starting to wonder because being listed on Chingo Bling’s friends list on MySpace, I figure I would have found a message about his death, but nothing was ever mentioned. It is what I thought it was just, it is pure BS.

So I want to dispel this vicious rumor, Chingo Bling is alive and well. So if anybody is trying to find out if Chingo Bling is dead, the answer is NO. On his Myspace page, he has a video dispelling this rumor and according the video, it looks like it is something more serious. The big question I have is why? Why would someone start this hoax? Is somebody trying to take down the Brown? This is not the first somebody has taken down an up and coming Xicano who was a mover and shaker con la raza. That person what Carlos Coy AKA South Park Mexican AKA SPM. Coy is currently incarcerated within the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for allegedly performing oral sex on his daughter’s nine-year-old friend while she slept over at his house one night in September 2001. There was no physical evidence of a sexual assault presented during the trial and the prosecution’s case consists almost entirely of the girl’s testimony, which includes the statement that she thinks the assault might have been a dream. Despite a lack of physical evidence, a Houston jury convicted Coy of aggravated sexual assault of a child. Here is an article from the Houston Press before went to jail.

As his stardom grew, he edged toward becoming another cultural icon for expanding Hispanic awareness, and started to see his role in quasi-messianic terms. Coy no longer considered himself merely a rapper, but a “street poet” or “street philosopher.” In most of his later interviews, he spoke like a Mexican-American liberationist. Blacks had their Malcolm X, and Coy seemed to want to become the Hispanics’ Malcolm Equis. He referred to Mexican-Americans as “my people” and as an all-but-enslaved class sorely in need of self-esteem.

Coy believed he was the one to bring them that respectability as his own commercial successes mounted. He bragged about going from $400 a month in album sales to $40,000 monthly. Dope House hit full stride in 2000. Recording giant Universal Music Group signed him to a lucrative deal that brought an advance of more than $500,000.

Here is a recent article on SPM from the Houston Press.

Any way, here is Chingo Bling’s bedio and remember, they can’t deport us all.
