Is it about a new kind of hip hop that people refer to as "Canadian hip hop" ? If so, I think the article should start like this:
Canadian hip hop is a kind of hip hop originated in Canada.
Otherwise, the article should just be renamed "Hip hop in Canada". What do you think about this ? Cheers Nicolas1981 ( talk) 06:50, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

The most notable Canadian hip hop album during this era"
Canadian hip-hop artist Cadence Weapon was the poet laureate of Edmonton from 2009 to 2011, which is definitely a first for Canadian hip-hop, and hip-hop in general. Not important enough to be mentioned in the article? -- RaygunShaun ( talk) 03:42, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

I think that this only talks about the late history of hip hop in Canada, although there was a definite scene prior to the recording artists. Perhaps some discussion on the crews that helped start it in, with references to the bboy crews, graf crews and the DJ/MC crews. In Toronto, some examples would be West Side Breakers, Four (??) Aces, Magnetic Rockers, Flip Rock, for some breaking crews. Then on the DJ tip, I'm thinking Sunshine, Killowatt, TKO, to name a few. These were the DJs and crews that inspired many of the "first" rappers, but they never get any shout outs, cuz it was ultra competitive in those early days, and nobody acknowledges how they got into it. These were the crews that were our urban radio back in the day. |
