Dan-e-o - Dear Hip Hop

[Fnkychld]

TO was really a hot bed of classic hip hop acts in the 90s. Back in the day we took this stuff for granted because there were so many dope acts. Now when you listen to this and compare it to what's out now, it sounds so amazing and classic. It's so ironic that Drake blows up when pretty much any 90s TO act is way more timeless. I can listen to this back to back with Artifacts, Common Sense, Nas etc.

[drastik3131]

Dangerous from Day 1. It's true when you said, "Minimal record sales is your only achilles heel." You should make a tune where Hip Hop writes back. 'Nuff Respect Due. Bless, Drastik.

[baaaydee]

I wish Hip Hop was still like this,

[stuckin95wu]

@baaaydee it's still like this

[whydoineedmoney]

@isreal423 TORONTO not ny

[aargh555]

HipHop is a culture wich is conecting people from all over the world,Korea Japan Germany..no matter where ur from. Hip Hop is a world of support against Racism and Prejudices...Its about expressing urself ! U need to b creativ and clever to rhyme...But a lot of people dont know real Hip Hop...thanks to Lil Wayne and soulja Girl for giving Hip Hop a bad image cuz its mainstream !!!!

[lookatthatgoof]

DEAR HIP HOP u where soo dope now MC just choke n cant cope with hope

[MysteriousOne666]

Flow wouldn't know what to do with a record like this, fuck they sold themselves out going with 104.5...Now the ryerson university radio station lost there rights or whatever is, fuck maestro got started on there...pure bullshit, be nice if we can work around the CRTC copyrights to just start playing the real t-dot music again .Everything from today to the days of late 90's...mad love to all hip-hop artists in T-dot no matter what lifestyle your into its about the music period...

[ThugMentalityMusic]

@MysteriousOne666 real talk!!!!

[janoski09]

now this fkn hip hop

bring this back

fuck eminem and all that shit!

trooolin

[SparadicMathematic]

@BackBlocks09

yea word up no doubt i agree 100%

[ThugMentalityMusic]

@BackBlocks09 i was just about to say the same thing... but damn!! u said it first. real talk its all true.

these time was real dope... but i think a pause was put on the movement once DJ X & THE POWER MOVER SHOW88.1 was flushed out, to make room for Commercial radio such as bullshit FLOW93. the air waves was clustered with majority of the music coming out south of the border.. the EXEC's at FLOW wouldnt play Toronto ARTISTES unless they abandon the unique distinct sound they created..

[donfaraldo]

Much respect to everyone who has been showing love over the past 15 years. I'd like to take this opportunity to answer a couple of your questions.

The sample is "The Look of Love" by Ramsey Lewis.

I'm of Spanish and Jamaican descent.

And yes, A LOT more music is on the way. Check out dan-e-o.com for more details...

[SurgeCess]

[soljaboyisabitch]

[DuhHoodMaverick]

Damn Im Scratching My Head Cuz I Never Heard Of Dude An His The Essence Of Real Hip Hop

[7PietroNe1]

Sick piano beat...I Love True Hip Hop Music!

This joint remind Me of a good times....

[Lucifer986]

wow a love ballet for hiphop and the minimalist beats really accompanies the love letter ...fuck the new school and fuck q-tip, nas and all the other emcees that through away there distinct styles to adopt a commercial flow to appeal to deaf sheep.

[Flopstar80]

Gotta be Jack Goodlad basketball court (Kennedy road) and of coarse Lawrence East RT line grafitti wall. I sure that caged bridge is the one connected to Jack Goodlad over the RT line. Yep definitly Scarborough and i love it

[stuie31]

Rap and Hip hop now are NOTHING of what they used to be... i'm a metal head and i actually enjoyed this!!! Smokin dope, poppin caps and pickin up hoes are what is popular, and what is popular seems to be thug music. not hip hop.

[FibrousAcquiescence]

Hip Hop culture is dead because too many black people are sleeping...

[Sixthsense11]

@FibrousAcquiescence u said it yo, thats mad true..

[rise2powerAA]

please release the instrumental !

[t1mTV]

[donfaraldo]

It's dope to know how much this song is loved after all these years.

Y'all need to check out Dan-e-o's YouTube channels (donfaraldo and perfeckstrangers) for SO MUCH MORE hot shit that you probably haven't seen or heard yet.

Still doin' it? He's only just getting started!

[Bones139]

Toronto classic!! Forgot about this joint!

[SuperNoX86]

Love this. It screams culture and innovation.

[SimonKainG]

[mahp415]

This songs straight locc to tha brain

[PcHiLdxIsxGrEaTnEsS]

Man dont you guys miss the 90's? (AKA Golden Years) Lil wayne doesnt have shit on this. lol

[RVerseTV]

@PcHiLdxIsxGrEaTnEsS Wayne who? His name is not wellcome in the real hip hop videos.

And yeah, I never knew Canada had so many classic shit, this is amazing, just like Ghetto Concept.

[BootCampWuTang]

@RVerseTV Oh yeah man, Canada is known to have hidden Hip Hop gems. You should get the Beat Factory (Rap Essentials) Vol.1 & 2. Serious canadian classics on that compilation.

[RVerseTV]

@BootCampWuTang Aight, i'll take a look, thanks.

So, it could be that most of the real old school stuff could be Canadian? Would've never imagine. But I know some underground rappers from Canada, like Chuckie Akenz, he's kinda good. J reyez ain't bad either, but Dan-e-o is just amazing, just like Ghetto Concept.

[BootCampWuTang]

@RVerseTV There's other dudes like Concrete Mob, Red Life, Saukrates, Black I and others.. Definitely worth a look.

[RVerseTV]

@BootCampWuTang Concrete mob too? wow, didnt know that haha 

[KickBack90sBeats]

@RVerseTV peep Cipher... out of 90's Vancouver... couple good joints... Peeps and Peeps the sequel... and how it go...

[Franknitty001]

I used to drink Heinekens in that stairwell...

[imro1]

so dope and im gay, so you know its sick

[HipHopiz4Real]

lmao wtf?

[other6people]

i didnt know gay people liked this kind of stuff

[KRYLONADDICT822]

thats dumb... so just because youre gay you feel like theres certain music youre expected to listen to? i mean, would it make a difference if i were republican or democrat and like this song? just because you like people of the same sex doesnt mean it needs certification to be dope...

[KRYLONADDICT822]

how are people supposed to take that as a joke? the comments so simplistic, theres no way anyone could take that any way but seriously... how does that make me gay? oh, and i dont care whether or not gay marriage is legal, im not part of that demographic...

[FreeJibril]

yeah roll through Canada and you'll see it's all good here. Fuck democrats and republicans. HOLLAAA AT AN NDP OUT HERE LIBERAL BAYYYBEEE!

[emkb24]

this is the hip-hop I love to hear, not these mainstream fags of today who just talk about money clothes and hoes.

[biggburd19]

The world? Try Canada! Ask less than half hip hop heads in T-dot bout Dan-e-o, Mathematik, etc. & they'll shrug. Sad.

[exkimo64]

Too true and we have so many great MCs.

[murdaman702]

Hip Hop aint music its a culture....rap is the music of hip hop

[murdaman702]

Hip hop aint music it a culture rap is the music of hip hop

[pops4u95]

I dont know why you got thubs down, your completely right. Hip Hop is a culture. Within it is Bboying, Graffiti, Freedom of Speach, Colthing/Style, Dancingetc. "Rap" is partof the culture. Thats why people get angry when others say Hip Hop is dead. "rap"music is dead (Other then what Remains Underground).

The culture of hip hop remains.

[jakebrad1515]

@pops4u95 word. hip hop is tha illest culture and im proud to be a part of it. the swag the clothes the beats the graff the freestyling man too much to even mention

[smkindro]

@murdaman702 Hip Hop yes its a culture cause like anyone who loves hip hop enough know that hip hop doesnt just consist of the music it concists on graffitti bboyin beatboxin freestyling and djing
