message: He is a Muslim so I think it should be on his page if you read his bio it says that "Growing up as a child of four in a strict household run by a Christian mother and a Muslim father, he was not allowed to curse". And he also says in interviews that he don't drink or smoke and Muslims aren't allowed to drink or smoke. He also never wears a cross so that shows you guys.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.41.184.116 (talk) 20:18, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

message: According to the Motown Records article on Wikipedia, Chamillionaire was signed with them too. Understandably, Universal owns Motown, but it would be nice to get some firmer information to the labels he has been signed with. Guroadrunner 04:28, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Association with Motown Records

message: None of the trivia is cited, and the article sounds very biased. Is the statement "He is known for his ability to change the tempo and rhyme scheme of his rapping within a single song, and for the rapid, clear, and distinct quality of his delivery and voice" really true? clear voice? listen to "Ridin" and try to identify the lyrics... I would like to see some reference to sources that give this artist that much praise (or any references at all, for that matter, considering the article uses direct quotes that are not attributed to anyone)

message: Is there a reason why The Sound of Revenge is broken up into a Major Releases sub-heading?  It seems to break up the flow of the Discography.  I think that the note of Platinum is enough to denote its popular appeal.  I would not be opposed to dividing it up into Mixtapes and Albums, but then would Screwed and Chopped be considered an album?           --Heaven's Wrath (Talk) 02:44, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

message: What the heck does this mean?  
Recently, Chamillionaire says that he hates beef, especially after the release of Hip Hop Is Dead, and the appearance of what looks like an East Coast Vs. South conflict, and has blamed Corporate America instead, for the downfall of hip hop. He has asked all fans to forget the hip hop beefs, even his own. This is clear on the "Hip Hop is Dead (Skit)" on his recent mixtape, Mixtape Messiah pt. 2
He doesn't like meat products made from cow?  Or is this a slang term?  The wording here is strange and confusing to me.  Also, it is a terrible run-on sentence.  Hyperform 06:27, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

message: There was a very thorough feature article in the Houston Press about the rise and fall of Mike Jones.  It says about Jones:
"He'd hit unexpected turbulence at the height of his underground success, in the form of Chamillionaire's The Mixtape Messiah in early 2005. The album's three discs were almost entirely devoted to intricate and specific take-downs of Jones — for, among other things, lying about his past, his dealings with Magno and his outlandish shit-talking and braggadocio, extreme even for a rapper, which quite possibly ignited the feud."
I know very little about Chamillionaire but the omission of his 2005 Mixtape Messiah album seems to be an oversight.  Does it merit a mention, along with his feud with Mike Jones?
