Talk:Canadian hip hop/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think that this only talks about the late history of hip hop in Canada, although there was a definite scene prior to the recording artists. Perhaps some discussion on the crews that helped start it in, with references to the bboy crews, graf crews and the DJ/MC crews. In Toronto, some examples would be West Side Breakers, Four (??) Aces, Magnetic Rockers, Flip Rock, for some breaking crews. Then on the DJ tip, I'm thinking Sunshine, Killowatt, TKO, to name a few. These were the DJs and crews that inspired many of the "first" rappers, but they never get any shout outs, cuz it was ultra competitive in those early days, and nobody acknowledges how they got into it. These were the crews that were our urban radio back in the day.
