State of Canadian hip-hop. LOLWTF?

Is this shit for real? I was reading about this guy today somewhere...holy fuck is this ever terrible. It makes british hip-hop look good.

The first like 5 seconds I was though it was like a 9th wonder kind of sound, that would be alright, but then the beat drops and it's like...well. Just watch.

my neighbour in university halls used to play garbage like that until 6 in the morning. so i brought my amps out of storage and found my copy of winnipeg is a frozen shithole.

buck 65 has some ok stuff.

every canadian stereotype.

There used to be some decent canadian hip-hop, dream warriors, maestro fresh wes, and yes, even snow was ok. but seriously. fuck that weak ass shit.

there is good canadian hip hop out there, a lot of it is hard to come by though.

gotta get it in the STREETS yo .. or phonographique.com is not a bad site, i suppose.

i know lots of good new hip hop coming out of alberta and sk. and manitoba if anyone wants some recommendations ?

i dont think anyone actually cares about canadian hip hop though. i certainly dont as much as i once did.

(also, classified sucks)

drake has to do with kanye west and is therefore gay, lil wayne is aight though because i like that milly song

a) That album is great

b) it's not hip-hop

c) has tricky done anything worth getting since pre-millenium tension?

indeed, it is trip-hop.

I don't hear a whole lot of rapping on the album. Great album though.

and I don't really consider trip-hop vs hip-hop as splitting hairs.

would you call portishead hip-hop? what about massive attack?

Aron...now would be a great time to throw out some recommendations...:)

just to name a few.. but this shit is hard to dig up on youtube.

all the real good stuff is too underground... as stupid and cliche as that sounds.

whoa, i never knew that.. i love the main source!

Some massive attack tracks are hip-hop, like blue lines and daydreaming. I'd call portishead's first two albums hip-hop amongst other things (haven't heard third). It's just a british take on hip-hop.

I will actually give you blue lines and daydreaming, as they have one of the four elements. But portishead? really? what are they putting in the water down there in australia?

At least you like Main Source - two guys from Toronto..one guy from Queens.

aron..cheers man:) You don't have to find youtube links for all them...just names and so on...

This is a guy that I used to teach with in Seoul...he's based out of hamilton now...

hex sun - by state of Canadian hip-hop, I meant...current state of canadian hop-hop. I thought that was implied.

yeah, i was just being pedantic, sorry. the last thing i bought in canada hip-hop related was an album by Braze. it wasn't bad, didn't blow me away mind you. and classified, well, he's a bit like girly cocktails. a couple of sips are alright, but you wouldn't wanna drink that shit all night.

huuuuge difference between trip hop and hip hop imho
