Kardinal - Bakardi Slang Video

[PICCIRILLI2008]

We miss you Kardi, come back to T.O!! Makes us shake our asses like old times, lol!

[exkimo64]

Speaking of "coming form the Cold" and not to fill that Canadian stereotype about us living in snow year-round but where I'm at right now it's already snowed 3 times... though it hasn't lasted from the day yet.

[vkaysensen]

it's kardi time!!!

[ORIGINALbabyphat]

DAT NUH MEK IT!!!!! yoooow i miss those days...when this song came out I was about 13 and I buss it at evry party I had n ppl wud b like wat is this? who is this? And now everyone knows... =)

[TINTINAD4X4]

IT'S THE TEAPOT. Jokin man, Kardi is a killa and T. Dot is a mega city. Love the place, vibe and sound.

[JasonVoorheesLives]

kardinal rock da party and t.dot. drinkin bakardi

[amy555ful]

I <3 kardinal official :)

[totdoglver]

wat up wit the song?

[trinichick27]

who cares, he lets others know Canadians in are in hip hop game

[UNTOUCHABLE905]

too bad he went commercial

[BlackJays]

Yeah, but you could consider this tune a BIT commercial as well. Released on a major...charted on Billboard...but I feel you though.

[nunanm]

he might be commercial but he still reps Canada! plus not all his songs are commercial.. it's still good sh!t

[elijah108]

just cause he signed a major US label doesn't mean he sold out

[PICCIRILLI2008]

No, it doesn't mean that he sold out. But look at him now and look at him then. It's obvious he was more creative and personal in T.O than in the US. If you watch his T.O videos, he's just a guy in charge not giving a f**ck about "standard" videos. Now with his US deal, he's not the same Kardi, and following the same old cliche... I still love him though! Wish he would be the same old Kardinal from TO... That's what got him in the spotlight anyway, right?

[rormacd]

he's talkin about Toronto being diverse...u tools

[solitaire81]

Dipset...DAT NUH MEK IT!!!!!!!!

[02blakgxe]

Umm Kardinal is of pure Jamaican heritage..NO CLUE where you got the guyanese shit from..

[PANDA4EVER1]

thats what i was saying where the hell u got that guyannese shit from .........?!!

[dipsettabird]

yeah he's from canada....but a guyanese 1st.....so all guyanese people stand up bullet bullet

[PANDA4EVER1]

all along i was thinking he was from jamaica................he is cuz he wouldnt be stunnin the jamaican flag in his other videoes.

[jkidd904]

this was a hit when I was in high school.

[Asstricks]

Usually I'm not a fan of this 'rap scene' but Kardi's pretty spank! nice to see some Canadians in this scene too.

[JamaicanHotBoy115]

Big Chune right here. A Classic!!!

[tsbuk]

Aw shit this brings back memories. I actually remember alot of this slang we used back when I was in highschool. It's nice to see another Canadian artist get recognition in the states but Kardi will always be a star in the TdotO

[bhomega78]

cANADA GOT SOME of the flyest ladies i have ever seen. That Jamaican and canadian blend make a perfect chick all day...Big up to all jamaican/canadian massive

[bottomdogman]

[InsaneMojo2]

mojo dont say you know whut im sayin mojo sez u dont know!

[gstj210]

Was introduced to Kardi back in 2000 when I first went to Toronto from Texas. I brought alot of Canadian music down and regularly visit for more all the time. I'm the only in San Antonio who played Kardi until recently when "Dangerous" got play....big ups to Kardi from San Antonio, Texas

[InsaneMojo2]

haha nice

[joonygg]

TTTTTT -DOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT­TTTT + im cumin from da cold

[jam3rs]

ma stylez off tha thermostat plus i'm comin from tha coooooold

[mariusbleek]

viscious flow

[tdotchop69]

what are you fucked.. Snow had the biggest song in 92.. who the fuck is Kardi

[quedog92]

Surely you jest...mentioning Snow in the same sentence as Kardinal shows you know nothing about hip hop or Dancehall. This song was huge worldwide! Just because you haven't heard of an Artist doesn't mean he isn't relevant...you need to get out more!

[grassh0pper]

true!!!

[3alli]

love this song

[blacksmith84]

Only Canadian rapper who ever shown me any true skill

[mainetaine187]

this shit still hoottt

[redskull2006]

this was always on muchmusic. classic

[MotherSpoon2004]

It's too bad that Kardinal's good stuff, like Bakardi Slang, wasn't big in the states compared to Dangerous, this song is way better by far.

[BlackJays]

At least Bakardi Slang helped him get noticed in the states...it was his first song that made the billboard charts.

[phillydawg]

Agreed.

[endgamer617]

Look me in the eyes and tell me y'all ain't sold, my style's off the thermostat-- PLUS i'm comin' from the cold

[nebud]

show me how the T.Dot rolls, my styles off the thermostat plus I'm comin from the cold-yo

[enzarto]

ya its a nice hook

[canada647]

One thing I liked about KO - is that he took hip-hop and made it visible outside of the hip-hop/rap communities.



Didn't hid the slang and/or euphimisms.

KO - met him; respect him; sipping a Bacardi (spelled right this time) in his on-going honour from the corner of Main & Danforth!! T.dot.O.dot - we know what THAT means.

[BeNicePlz]

Ahh...back in the day.

[TruVandal]

my styles off the thermostat plus i'm commin from the cold haha thats clever thats hip hop bein ya self and soundin unqiue even though its not guns, money, etc...ITS HIP HOP YOU ROBOTS!!

[Jamya87]

LOL jezzz i remember this song

[bluestBALLZ]

Hip Hop could be brought back to shape if we stopped worrying about how much money they get. This is a classic tune, even though, I never really liked it that much. But, then main thing is, Kardi is on Kovicted Records, and that means Toronto, might be put on the map. Bishop is doing big things out in LA< while Drake is on BET with Trey SongZ. Main thing is that, Toronto is being on the map, now, and people know what T. Dot is. That's the important thing.

[eboyd32]

im sorry but this isnt hip hop man.

[adukeokin]

Err... why not? What's not hip hop about it. This is VERY hip hop on the Redman scales of things.

[eboyd32]

ok, yeah, its like redman. im not a big fan of redman and hes never been that big though. when i think hip hop i think rakim, krs one, gangstarr, etc. plus, he seems very materialistic and hip hop is, for the most part, not.

[adukeokin]

I'm not the biggest Redman fan either but i respect hime because he lives hip hop. Many Rappers like Nas show streaks of materialism. Many people are materialistic. HOWEVER, this is one song. He has many songs, i haven't heard them all but some are pretty good.

Also, just because someone doesn't like a particular song or artist, doesn't mean that they are any less hip hop. Even Young jeezy, as gimmicky and one dimensional as he is is part of hip hop although i qquestion why :P

[eboyd32]

because jeezy is so one dimentional he is not hip hop, hes trap or south or rap or whatever you want to call it. hip hop is a combination of several things and if the music doesnt involve most of them its not hip hop. if this wasnt so we could call charlie daniels "devil went down to georgia." hip hop. hip hop includes djing, mcing (not rapping), breakdancing, graffiti, beatboxing, and "droppin knowledge." it is okay for things to evolve but i wouldnt say this is evolution

[eboyd32]

one last thing. nobody from NY ever disrespected women back then. maybe a few songs here and there talked about having sex. for instance, in rakim's song "juice" he says, "when i have SEX..." but even that was a song where he was pretending to be a gangbanger talking about how bad that was. remember, the "bitch" thing started when Too $hort came out. today, like it seems in this video, misogyny is the main focus.

[eboyd32]

plus, i said, "for the most part, not [materialistic]." id consider big daddy kane somewhat materialistic. even rakim. hell, most of the old schoolers were somewhat materialistic. however, wearing a gold rope chain is not the same as having custom made everything, intricate diamond chains, grills, 26 inch platinum rims, all platinum cars, diamond encrusted shades, and on top of that having the nerve to rap about it non-stop and show off their houses on mtv.

[BlackJays]

even tho he seems a lil materialistic, AT LEAST admit that this tune is better than alot of da shit thats coming out of the south today. this tune is a classic and it IS hip hop. maybe he aint the best lyricist but this is a T.O. classic cuz he breaks down the slang just like big L did wit "ebonics".

[BlackJays]

and u say that hip hop isnt materialistic for the most part in ur first comment, but ever since puffy and mase came wit dem shiny suits...most of the rappers taking up the charts are the materialistic ones. and kardinal DOES have some conscious tunes which is another reason why i cant wait for his next album to drop.

[BlackJays]

hes even wearing kangol hats in the video! ok...this is officially hip hop no matter what u say eboyd.

[eboyd32]

and yes, i saw the kangol. i even saw the turntables, they just show, to me, an era of hip hop that was just as bad as today. beats tight though, i wont knock that.

[bugstrut]

What? Are you saying old skool Hip hop was wack? Turntables and Kangols? They put me in mind of Jam Master Jay and LL Cool J at his best. What's so bad about them?

[eboyd32]

no, i phrased that wrong. i meant that they are showing a lot of things that are just as bad as todays hip hop even though they have kangols on. i listen to grandmaster flash and the furious five, the coldcrush brothers, whodini, KMD, etc.

[eboyd32]

PUFFY and MASE are not hip hop. most true hip hop fans dont even consider them music. i know of some underground people that will bring hip hop back. look, all im saying is that if i had to trust someone to bring hip hop back, this guy wouldnt be my first choice. if you want to know who i would consider real hip hop on the underground, go check out immortal technique, vigalantee, the lynguistics, joell ortiz.

[BlackJays]

ive heard some of tech's shit. he could bring hip hop back...but he isnt exactly rushing to be a mainstream rapper either. so i would trust kardi more to bring hip hop back simply because he can reach a larger audience since hes mainstream. but that aint taking away anything from underground rappers like tech tho.

[eboyd32]

this dude from KC, Kansas named Vigalantee is trying to be mainstream. so are the Linguistics. Lupe and Papoose could even do the job but arent being given a chance. trust me, there are a lot of better choices out there. getting this guy would be like settling for jeru da damaja: although his shit is tight, hes no where near great. ill admit that this guy is decent, but there is so much undiscovered talent out there that its not even funny.

[rbrigade]

VO done know its OV

[moreenv]

LOL that brings me back

[kaysnoopz]

this is wat got us started respectz

[likklefella]

T DOT quotable. "ever since i came out to rock the party every bloodclaat rapper wan turn a yardie." thats cause we is the new era. fuck wit us real yard man put up uno hand let me see you squeeze some trigger

[br04dw4y848y]

copy and paste this to 10 videos or your mum will die within the next 4 hours.....

[BlkCaligula]

Big Up Kardinal.  I'm still waiting on you to blow fam', now would be the time. Hip Hop needs a revival; I think your style would be ideal.

[bajestar24]
