Candian Hip Hop.........
« on: May 01, 2002, 05:00:07 PM »
Y'all knew it was coming, lol.  I live in Canada, so I'm gonna be your main man for Canadian Hip Hop as I am VERY into it.  Vancouver has the only Urban Radio station in the whole country, and since I live In Vancouver I listen to it ALL THE TIME.  They play tons of dope canadian music.  Canadian Hip Hop gets vurtually no respect from American (and overseas) fans.  Even when American artists collaborate with Canadian artists, it doesn't help them out.  So I'm gonna be your man for all the latest dope jams, news, and all that good shit.  Since they get no love anywhere else.  I'm gonna list some Canadian artists and write a little about them for y'all.

Rascalz- These guys are from Vancouver and were one of the first groups representing for Canada.  They have collaborated with KRS-ONE, Beatnuts, and other Canadian artists.

Choclair- From Toronto.  This guy is kind of the Front Man of Canadian Hip Hop in the sense that he's like our Ja-Rule (if that makes sense lol).  Everybody knows him and thinks he's dope.  Although IMO he ain't all he's cracked up to be.  He's signed to prioroty records, although they aren't really helpin him out.  He has collaborated with Guru, Kurupt, ODB, The Roots and other Canadian artists.

Kardianal Offishall- This guy is also from T.O., he's a dope producer & rapper.  He's very entertaining, his current single blowin up the radio features busta rhymes, and is titled "ol Time Killin" (remix).  IMO his best song to date is "G Walkin" feat. Glenn Lewis.  Last year he had an underground hit titled "Yur Ghetto" which won an award at HipHopSite.com.  

Saukrates- A very dope producer/mc comin out of T.O.  Redman signed him to his label, and he also has a song on the "How High" soundtrack.  Although that is far from his best work.  His album features collaborations with Xzibit, and Pharoe Monch.

Ghetto Concept- These guys are the 'flashy ones' who always have the dope videos and crystal poppin.  They have some very dope songs, although it is very commercial intended.

Harpoon Missile- Pretty new, i don't know much about the poon, lol.  BUt their new single "I Try" is VERY dope.

K-Os- This guy is real deep.  He can sing like a mutha too.  He's real dope, IMO.

Checkmate- From Van.  DOn't know a whole lot about this guy, although on DJ Jam's (snoops dj) website, there is a flyer of him.

Moka Only- He sounds EXACTLY like Common when he raps.  He's the guy who sings in all of the Swollen Member Tracks.

Swollen Members- Ok, I saved the best for last, what can I say about these two?  They are fuckin dope.  IMO they are better than 80% of all Hip Hop out right now.  They represent Vancouver.  All i can say is check them out, you wont believe what you hear.  It's just amazing, I can't even explain it.  Here's some info I found about them:

In 1996 they traveled to the B-Boy summit in San Deigo, where Madchild battled and was initiated into the legendary Rock Steady Crew, hip hop's highest respected collective, making Swollen Members one of only three Rock Steady affiliated groups.



If anyone has any questions about any canadian hip hop artists, don't hesitate to ask.  Cuz I'm NOT gonna stop tellin.   ;D

Kardinal Offishall- Yea, I heard him on some tracks, and he's very dope.

Saukrates- Yea, I heard him on some Red joints, and he's pretty coo, but nothing spectacular.


Swollen Members Yea, they pretty dope, but I aint heard enuff of them yet.

I have Swollen Member's "Bad Dreams".. It's alright. I aint feelin the whole album but they definatley got some pretty tight flows.

I know about Kardinal Official.. he's alright too.. does that jamaican thing.. sometimes it could sound really dope.. other times it could get kind of annoying.

I also know about Choclair. I heard his song with Kurupt. He was on the 3 stikes soundtrack. He's cool too... I understand what you say about him being your guys' Ja Rule though..

I've heard & liked a considerable amount of ish from Choclair, "Bump" being my fav. so far, funky ass beat  ;D "Situation 9" is dope too.

I think that if you take one of the 'O's' out of 'Good' it's 'God', if you add a 'D' to 'Evil' it's the 'Devil'. I think some cool motherfucker sat down a long time ago and said 'let's figure out a way to control motherfuckers'.
