I might be the oldest Rap fan around here.
I have been listening to Rap since Grandmaster Flash came out on 12 inch.
Most kids were into metal etc. I was hooked the moment a friend invited me over to listen to this vinyl he picked up in 1982. "The Message".We listened to that over and over countless amounts of times.
It was a different world. Drive to Seattle just to purchase an NWA record because it was banned in Canada. Even allot of places would not stock Public Enemy when they came out.
Your right about Shad, nice Canadian talent reminds me a bit like Jay Z nice flow.
One for us old men

I can't believe it never heard of this album until a few days ago and since then i've been hooked. This has to be one of the greatest introduction songs to any album i've ever heard:

You lucky sob. I remember the first time I ever heard of that when an old show called NY Undercover used one of the beats during and episode and I had to find out what it was. Very nice.
I'm not big into Drake either but that 5AM in Toronto track is great. I really like "Started from The Bottom" too. The vid also got one of the hottest video chicks I have have seen during the checkout scene.
Also, forget making it rain dollar bills, Drake making it rain Shoppers Drug Mart Optimum points.
