there's not a lot of Canadian hip hop really to talk about...this is good tho... love Gowan...brings back nostalgic 80's memories listening to Gowan... and this is a GREAT production of Gowan into hip hop...i love this cos it takes Gowan to a new genre and it works; sounds great
@ElectricPineapple79 I was not the only one who did not pick up at your attempt at sarcasm. Then again, you failed to pick up my being droll. Sadly, only I was able to attempt dialogue without name calling. *Sigh*
Yes, that was definitely Gowan in the video. I actually don't mind this track. And I consider Gowan's Criminal mind to be in my top 10 songs of all time, and at least top 2 by Canadian artists. Since almost by definition Rap tracks need an established hook in order to rap over it is not unexpected. And this choice is far better than anything that Flo Rida has chosen to borrow.
WOW. I wouldn't have thought that Gowan + two hip-hop artists would have flown quite so well, given the huge genre gap, but that's one excellent track!
Bleubird, soso, epic, gruf etc, now theres candian hiphop talent this is ok but its an anachronism, criminality is not really an interesting concept for hiphop anymore. That died before tupac did. Lets stop the boring victim martyr complex of the justice system rap eh! This rap rehabilitiation of middle class 'hood' vicitims bores me, i'm from a deprived area, we dont listen to this type of thing, we listen to music that will take us outside this system of repression, not reinforce our bars!
i aint even doubting you homie i just never woulda thought he did the production on this, shit is hella tight. this is canadian talent right here, this is why flow 93.5 can suck a fat one, they too busy ridin lil wayne and flo ridas nuts to realize the gold thats comin out of canada and thats BEEN comin outta canada. this dude is my bois uncle too fuck its a small world...
Arguing back and forth about who's iller is pointless because Maestro and Infinte formed Dope State as a team out of mutual respect and regard each other as equals. It's Tdot love. That's the whole theme of this video and these two cats track records is legendary. Forming a crew takes them to Don status-just enjoy two of Canada's best taking Hip Hop to a higher ground
damn infinite is back i remember his song take a look and 360 used to love those tracks back when canadian rap was still coming into its own. always wondered where he went for the ten years or so he disapeared

@JeSuisMonAmiPourTu totally agree. Kinda funny cause in the mid 80's I was listening to Gowan, late 80's I was listening to Maestro.
