Yeah, yeah, yeah...but there actually is a lot of fine beats/rhymes coming from the far north. Don't knock 'em till you hear 'em.

Shad - The Old Prince (MapleMusic, 2007) (http://ikilledthedarkness.blogspot.com/2008/01/shad-old-prince-maplemusic-2007.html)

Munroe sez: "Easily one of the best Canadian hip-hop albums ever, and a very strong album in general. Positive hip-hop, no glorification of anything 'street' related. Excellent flow, and has some witty lyrics to boot. "The Old Prince Still Lives At Home" is worth the download alone."

From hiphopcanada:
London, ON emcee Shad K lives up to the potential promised on his debut with a sophomore release that is more mature and cohesive than When This is Over, sounding like an album rather than a collection of songs. The positive vibe is built around a smooth Native Tongues sound and a loose-based allegory about an old prince who should be king. He touches on several serious subjects such as the hardships of everyday life (“What We All Want”), awkward love (“Out of Love Pt. 2”) and, most importantly, not compromising who you are for both “Brother (Watching)” and “Compromise.” He also creates a great extended metaphor with “I Heard You Had a Voice Like an Angel / Psalm 137,” which compares the careers of many commercial artists to the fall of the angel Lucifer. But it's not all just deep and heavy hip-hop; Shad injects light-hearted humour and witty wordplay into many of his most serious songs, and his only truly straight-forward jokey song, “The Old Prince Still Lives at Home,” a song that outs Shad as a cheap scrub, is probably the album highlight. Shad's flipping of two of his most memorable quotables (think Pamela Anderson and Claire Huxtable) are also smile-inducing for fans familiar with his first album. Shad is still a far way from capturing the charm, charisma and creativity of his live show, but The Old Prince makes a capable attempt to do so and definitely demonstrates the goods that have made a fan of many, including fellow creative emcee Common. And purchasing a copy of The Old Prince not only supports Canadian hip-hop, it helps get Shad out of his parent's house. Is there anything more noble?

[Montreal]

I'm from Canada.

:whistle:

Cadence Weapon's new album is sick!

[ReInCaRnAtioN]

cdn rap is garbage

[Mangle]

cdn rap is garbageOoooh... you told us. I mean, 50 Cent is a genius. He's so deep. Buck 65 can't stand a chance against condoms hair nets and samples of gunfire. Good call. Now go back to your TV and shut up.
