Shad "Rock To It" (live)

[DoctorFunk18]

Just too good!

[ClaresePreciousJones]

Amateur Emcees take notes.

[michealjohnedmondson]

wtf he play the guitar too ?

[NicolasGir]

that fkn guy in pink is ruining the song!

[Aznvk]

@KnuckleBallz Check out Najjah Calibur, he's another musician coming out of the GTA who is prettty pure :) I've met both, and they're just wonderful genuine dude

[orcamacattack1995]

shad is the best.

[htrb20]

this is real music

[scoop2230]

I would definitely drop out of school for the chance to be Shad's drummer

[bennetskeez1]

i dont understand why shad isnt a household name...

[resteep]

@bennetskeez1 he is in MY house.

[SunTzu4UFoo]

I Just bought my tickets to Squamish, Shad see you there, till then I'll just be Squeemish.

[bates1022]

How could 4 people possibly dislike this

[DUDEMIKE8]

he sounds like he's forcing it

[logiejamie]

i feel bad for the 3 deaf people who disliked this..

[decasho]

legend



[SPIVMalarkey]

I would give my left nut to be Shad's drummer.

[InOneShot]

@SPIVMalarkey alright and ill give my right nut and ill be the bass player

[highlighter250]

SHAD FOR PRESIDENT !!!

[IceKeese]

@highlighter250 I think "for prime minister" would be more appropriate, considering he's canadian...

[highlighter250]

@IceKeese ahaha, yeah that's very true. I don't know what I was thinking.

[AustinJaworski]

fact: you can't listen to this song once and never again.

[YoMattYo]

2:43 = dope

[oliver9163]

seeing him live next month!!

[sonybravia117]

he's the fuckin shit live..no autotune and he sounds amazing...how the fuck is he not big

[stupidstupidpunk]

Need the chords for it, like right now.

[chucker9804]

Respect bro!



[AlabamaRamaLlama]

shads reppin canada well

[Birgler14]

no bling, no autotune, and an acoustic guitar. how it should be done. biggest thing outta canada since pamela lee's double d's!

mad respect shad, maybe some shows in bc in the near future?

[thewesterliesband]

@Birgler14

Lol, just saw him at a free show last night in vancouver on west 4th.. he only played like 3 songs.. but I got to meet him after and everything.. sickest thing ever.

[Birgler14]

@thewesterliesband jealous. was that at the sitka in Van? i hear he was there yesterday.

[thewesterliesband]

@Birgler14

yeaah, it was suuuuper sick.. Like.. he's actually chill.. some rappers are douches.. but.. he didn't act better then everyone.

[ochocincoTO]

the crowd is so soft.

[TheZone990]

@ochocincoTO i think whoever posted this vid blocked out the crowd so we could hear the music better

[Uhalili]

MAD FUCKING PROPS TO SHAD

MY FAVORITE MC !

[justmoraga]

This makes me happy! Hip hop lives!

[ArrghhMatey]

the guy pretending to be a trumpet is unnecessary!

[Daafsel]

@ArrghhMatey agreed

[SmashBass]

@ArrghhMatey - the whole band may be unnecessary. Search YouTube for ''Shad Rock To it Quest Poetics Version'' (can't post direct links in these comments).

[laythepodiumdown]

@SmashBass not shad, totally lame.

[Dilesmusic]

my new favorite mc. dude is sick

[papijaaz]

dman this is good!

[smofsky12]

How does he breathe???

One of the best rappers out there for sure

[MrNewfiie]

Shad is the illest rapper alive!

This is the legit best.

[Flam3o]

Wow, I did not expect him to actually be playing the guitar while listening to his songs. Damn that's impressive.

[Truemannnn]

519 GET UP

[stapleboy7]

sick vid. what was the beat after he finished

[keidow]

@stapleboy7 I think it is his song "Compromise"

[ArrghhMatey]

@stapleboy7 Fat Boys beatboxing?

[ArrghhMatey]

@stapleboy7 or Compromise at the very end.

[HispanicPanic7]

@stapleboy7 compromise

[DanielKeithMorrison]

shad is proper.q



[24trivium24]

So glad hes getting alot more popular, with that amount of talent, he deserves it. This is a guy who will never sell out.

[FireMario149]

Nice!

Peace from Seattle

[heroicdrummer2006]

real hip hop

[rzanumba1]

dope ass track...shad is one of the best...there was no need for the dude in the pink shirt though...he was kind of annoying lol

[elaletzzzz]

buenisimo este tipo!! escuchen!! real hip-hop

[Audiowithalex]

Real hiphop

[patrickjameskemp]

student slash rapper so im dealing with no sleep

[RagnorokKnight]

Lol! Can't we all relate to that.

[Takeacoke]

I´m melting in awesomeness.

[Teh9Taco]

breeeeeedlovvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeee

[Teh9Taco]

why the thumbs down? the name of the guitar company

[DarthPew]

Now this is rapping. Not about sex or drugs, but the good in life. Shad makes me listen to rap =)

[maneshdesilva]

@DarthPew True skill in rapping. When your dropping swear words left, right and centre it shows a lack of vocabulary, this cat is a beast.

[lildaniel317]

why would he make london anything he from canada

[kilroy87]

london ontario.

haha.

[CartoonBandito]

What are you talking about? This is how MCing should be executed.

[crusheng]

oh yeeauh.

so shad.

[fckyrscn]

best song to jam to.

shad makes London proud, cant wait for his new cd

[baracktimusprime]

when does his new cd come out?

[fckyrscn]

soon I hope.

I heard he was working on a new one

[baracktimusprime]

yeah i heard that too.

they said it would be after the Warped tour

but that doesnt end till august.

[fckyrscn]

yeah i know, but its not that far off!

[baracktimusprime]

i heard he might have a new album out in spring-ish of 2010!

[RagnorokKnight]

Long time coming; but I'm sure it'll be worth it!

[xthexendwithyou]

@baracktimusprime i hope so :)

[bishtheop]

@baracktimusprime may 25th

[DebateTimeNow]

shad is Canadian

[Lucid4Christ]

Nothing but props.

[RhymesAtWar]

"even back in '82 my ultrasound was the jam"

the whole thing was off dem hooks....

[vazo868]

what album is this off? cause its not on the old prince. Its a fuckin jam, im all about it

[desbiens14]

When This Is Over...his first record

[TNAguy2000]

great

[JouninNeji]

Shad is in his own league.

[joesife]

this song is dope

[iamsoupcombust]

this version KILLS the album track

[cjwil3]

yeah i prefer this version

alot more

but both good

respect to shad

[KidRichards]

Scott Kelly (drums) is awesome. Wicked understated drummer.

[spitthathotfire]

Warped Tour '09!

[KnuckleBallz]

This guy should be famous now.But He's so underrated cuz kids listen too much to whack rappers this days. We need this guy alot on today's Hip-Hop.I never heard a very very lyrical rapper with great flow that plays guitar too and dont even use any bad words. He's a pure MC

[iamsoupcombust]

andre 3000.

i mean, without the bad words part.

[DebateTimeNow]

who cares if you use bad words, if they say them in real life it would be fake not to rhyme them. and a lot of people use them in real conversation

[pbgangsta]

@KnuckleBallz you do know that he beat drake for best rap album of the year at the junos right? i've actually heard a bunch of his tracks on the radio quite a few times

[KnuckleBallz]

@pbgangsta I know :) The comment u replied is 2 years ago -_-

[pbgangsta]

@KnuckleBallz haha my bad didn't notice!

[addrenalinedrummer]

@KnuckleBallz Kids only listen to stupid mainstream music. People say Wayne and Drake are the best, but when I say, "No Shad is!" They are like, "Who's that?" I hope Shad never goes mainstream!

[J1Kwon]

so so so so ridiculously smooth

[jaydarrow]

could do without the beatboxer when theres a drumset. but still sick

[drawnspoonce]

does anyone know where to find the lyrics to this?

[Nickzurz]

Google.

[shadjuice513]

awesome, found this cause my last name is shad lol

[AHstyle]

hip hop...why isn't this on the radio

[daanaars]

Does anyone have a studio version of this song?

[CaptianHookZ]

don't worry about its not nearly as good as this verison he practly whispers the whole song

[robert51590]

iTunes does. thats where i got it

but yeah, this one is better

[cjwil3]

he's rapping while playing guitar....

and soulja boy is in the same genre as him?!!

mad RESPECT to shad

hip hop forever

[blehkblehk]

word, as a hip hop fan and a guitar player i can tell you maintaining flow that immaculate whilst playing that rhythm on the guitar would NOT be easy.

absolute legend

[filipinohype]

@cjwil3 stffu,

lol soulja boy is shit. this is simply, art.

[manemix]

that dude iz sick with it!!!!!!

[SCGS99]

DUDE this guy is crazy!
