I know it's trendy to rag on the Toronto accent right now, but we should be embracing the things that make us unique. It's unpopular to say this but I like my Toronto accent and I'd much rather listen to local artists that embrace theirs.
Toronto does have its own sound when it comes to hip hop and rap music. The problem with Toronto we abandon our own sound to jump on everybody shit. So we're being exposed for jumping on everybody's bandwagon . real Toronto we don't jump on anybody shit .
Toronto rappers are embarrassing af. Like Canada is not the hood and what’s with the gang violence just get your life together, Toronto rap makes me cringe so bad smh
It may be the latest Toronto rappers that don't sound good. I'm old, so I remember the days of Maestro Fresh Wes, Kardinal Offishall, Choclair, Ghetto Concept, and Dream Warriors. Toronto hip hop in the late 80s to the 2000s was more creative and sounded great. Even some US rappers talked about our music scene. The only new GTA rapper I listen to is Haviah Mighty (I know she's from Brampton). It could be these latest rappers are trying too hard.
You took the words right out of my mouth. I remember the days of Ghetto Concept and them - we certainly had more respect from Americans back then, and I think it was because it was authentic and showed a Canadian identity, whereas now, these guys imitate Americans and fail at it. Haviah Mighty has my respect, as well as Northside Benji and Houdini (RIP).
It’s about what you want to listen to and what connects with you. Those artists were definitely talented but I personally can’t listen to that stuff. I need drill. Dif strokes dif flks.

The problem is it’s only certain types of rappers who headline from here. Most, not even serious artists. They’re just rapping to rap . If you listen to guys like Daniel Son, Asun Eastwood, Futurewave, Raz Fresco who take it serious, they’re respected a lot more in the underground American hip hop scene.
Agree with all your points. I'll add this - how many rappers lock in with 1 or two producers & develop a co-hesive sound? You barely see it - to me its a problem industry wide today but especially in Toronto
The best era of Toronto Hip Hop was back when it was Choclair and Kardinal. For the young bucks. The golden era for you guys was Sam G, TNT Sick Thugz, Camouflage, Point Blank
Maestro Fresh, Rascalz, K-OS, C4, Young Tony, Point Blank, Mayhem, Payback, Big Page, Choclair, K-naan. All these older school dudes were 🔥🔥🔥. And they all had their own vibe. These dudes now all sound the same.
It definitely can't be the accent, that's one of the dumbest reasons because it makes no sense whatsoever. Toronto's Black community have been talking like that since the 80s. You can't get rid of something that's been here for several ages. It's part of the city's culture. In recent years however, it's become a trend for non-black people who grew up outside of the culture to mimic it, misrepresent it, and make it sound 10x worse than what it is. But being from Toronto and saying that "The accent is the problem" just shows how culturally disconnected so many people in Toronto are. So honestly, you better get used to it and accept it, because it's not going anywhere anytime soon.
@tdotsblessing the title of the video proves my point. It can stay and be part of the culture and all that. But it won't sell commercially like Houston or Memphis as cities with distinct accents. I agree Drake is the biggest artist in the world aside from t swift, he speaks with that accent, and specifically doesn't rap in that accent.
@@evanferris5035 Rap has always been about being authentic to where you’re from, not mimicking a next city or wanting to be like somewhere else, this is a terrible mindset right here🤦🏾♂ So is Toronto always gonna be this place where you have to fake being an American to make it in the industry? That’s pathetic. If you have superstar potential then you can always go far, regardless of how your accent sounds. You should never think that your accent can limit you. Rappers here should be true to who they are. All those other cities you've listed also have unique sounding accents that outsiders have just grown to get used to over the years, sooner or later the same could happen to Toronto if people could actually stick to being who they are and not talk down on their own culture.
We do have good rappers. America is just clueless. I remember when they said “ Dontown, Canada”, so I could care less what they think about or music. Only some Toronto rappers are 🗑️.
This happens w every city . Each city got its own sound and eventually the city gets the spotlight and then all of a sudden the next city gets the spotlight and now rappers start copying there sound and it don’t sound right at all . Everyone copying ny drill right now it’s a fked up sound too . I even heard Toronto rappers goin over Detroit beats it don’t sound right but your right Toronto was best when it was doin it’s own sound. That’s why the city got the spotlight cuz it was original .
America has structure and an actual music scene that is being invested into plus the landscape is just bigger. Canada doesn’t put money into anything if it’s not hockey you have to go through a million loop holes just to get noticed out here. You guys want street rappers to stop being street rappers no gang affiliation and a whole bunch of rules as in America they just wanna hear music
Dream Warriors were way bigger in Brittain thn where they were born n raised. the Canadian industry n guv duz not invest at All in Canada or Canadians n pushes American ish down our throats. in Canada most of our television broadcasting is n has to be by law, American. most of what we get forced on us is American. want chnge......B the chnge n dont wait for othrs to make chnge.
As an American, we do the same, but in reverse. Artists with no gang affiliations or street credentials tend to get ignored unless they're backed by a major label. Actual rappers in America don't do well. MFS just want to hear disses and songs about nothing.
@@Vocal-Vegan what are you talkin about? by law most of the stuff on TV has to be Canadian or produced/filmed in Canada at the least. It's why television often times sucks here..
I remember back around 2016ish (I can't remember the exact date) but when 365 galore dropped. I was hoping for Jayy Brown to actually continue his grind. He took a break n lost all the attention. One of his newest songs "lost in translation" is a rlly good song. But since he lost that attention he got w 365 galore, it hasn't got that many views. That song isn't block music at all, he has a good voice, decent lyrics, and the song itself has a nice beat. To me whenever someone in Toronto who doesn't make block, they will take a break and lose that attention that they and then just fade out of the spot light.
I still listen to a lot of smoke dog in the whip as well as couple sizzlac tracks. Real n****z by yung lava and sizzlac is fire. Don’t try me by robin banks dope as well
Truth- people see their 1 or 2 friend doing the rap thing and basically just go and do it as well doesn’t matter if they have that artist hunger or talent. I think the root is really jealousy… IMO.. “if he can do it me too…” (even if I suck)
I would say, it’s the sound! I have many TO artists i listen to even just ones coming up. Problem I hear is that people try to bite each other’s sound, so the beat, autotune and melody sounds copied with some of the artists. But TO has lots of good artists, I would say from experience, Canadians often don’t support locally as much unless you crack streamline somehow! It’s supposed to be the other way around, support the mans as they are hustling, putting in work.
Rap is on the tail end of being the pop music of the day. We at the over saturated stage before pop moves on to something else Most drill rap sucks as far as rap skill it's just about saying crazy shit about opps As a Rap head I'm glad, once it's off the pop charts only the actual artist will remain
Yoooo..talk da tings.. keep talkin da tings.. that's a fact what you said..tdot youth, stop follow fashion and make music from your heart..tdot has shit to offer..be yourselves
As an American I can say I fw Toronto music there’s lots of artists I can name from Toronto that drop heat songs for instance bundog, 100otd, Ksbvndz, 3mFrench, Duvy, much more I think it’s just the accent or flows. Like you have some artists from there doing different things but most of it from there sounds the same idk that’s just my opinion 🤷🏽♂️
As a man raised in Toronto in the 90s this Toronto accent , which originated in Scarborough, is obnoxious. They dont respect the craft. In the 90s and 2000s originality was key; now its biting styles.
It did not originate in Scarborough. It was a west end ting. When a whole bunch of family moved to scarbaria to avoid the violence in the west, they brought the accent and violence. Same with the next big move, Brampton
@GRIMZTVNETWORK there was a reason why we called it scarbaria back then. There was nothing there. I'm an old head, gen x, west end T.O. born and bred. I watched the migrations. Anyways, as I said, the accent did not originate in Scarborough
Toronto music is good its jus that they don't support local music. Toronto fans are ban wagons, not all but a lot of ppl are its more based on who you are then your actual talent.

The music is not very diverse. Mostly gangsta rap. There really isn't much to hold the attention of anyone who loves rap but not too interested in the hardcore gang thing. Rap came partially out of a people's struggle and is tied to their history; I don't think Toronto has that organic flavour.
As an American living in the GTA. I thought the Toronto hiphop scene from 2015-2018 was gonna be lit and folks from back then would make it out to the US but no, Toronto rap now is just garbage, they all have the same weird accent, same sound in almost every song that they make, same lifestyle that they rap about and the average “dissing your opps”. These rappers from Toronto only see Toronto as the whole world. I was feeling it way back then but now it’s just ass. It’s pains me to say that I even got friends and other people that I know in the area that I live in that are trying to making it in the Toronto scene with the same generic Toronto sound. I showed love and support but deep down I knew that they ain’t gonna make it big. I even went back to my hometown in California showed my family and friends over there, toronto rap, they said they ain’t even feeling or bopin to it, “trash” And no matter how much Drake try’s and promotes Toronto rappers to his label. They still ain’t gonna make. THIS IS THE HARSH TRUTH AND THE SAD REALITY FOR THE TORONTO HIPHOP SCENE. Even if I would be become a rapper, I would not represent Toronto Canada or any ties to Toronto and it’s medias.
There is a few Toronto rappers who represent the Underground REAL HIP-HOP and some in BC who are active really big around Europe yearly touring. DON'T Allow yourself to think this is the only artist from Toronto
Toronto used to have a sound but it has been forsaken for whats trendy. These artists now rather be martyrs then actual artists and are liabilities. No promoter in their right mind can put on a showcase without the fear of losing their reputation over folks who bring the streets into the music. There were many guys back in the day who were involved in the streets but you would never tell because the way they presented the music. There was skill and a passion for the artform. Theres too many rappers and not enough emcees. Our city hasnt grown artistically given the exposure it has now with social media and streaming. Its gotten worse generally. You just have to look for what you like and that means sifting through a whole bunch of garbage to get it
I also think Drake had a bad influence on the scene and didn't add to the pot just take, he should be building a musical empire of artists but not everyone is like that imo.
Its not music its morse code to the opps, and score checking the game 🎯. The beat is just background noise. A lot of artists are talented, however they gravitate to the BS, and in turn place themselves in chrash out circumstances for either notaritety or survival. Being a rapper in Toronto is risky business. Best advise is make a hit and take your talents to the states.
Black communities in Toronto naturally sound like that... that's the problem with the internet right now, it's become such a trend to diss the Toronto accent that people misunderstood that Black people in Toronto have their own dialect since the 1980s
Y'all shoulda been here in the 90s...the US rappers all came up and vibed(unless our fn gov't locked them out!). If any 90s rappers seeing this plz drop somethin and do the city right
Its called substance i think every form of music should have substance its the drill rap your talking about that sucks no substance its just strictly fast food rap peace king u know what you talking about bless!
Toronto’s best rappers are dead or in jail that 2013-2019 period was untouchable the amount of bangers that was dropped but they’re scene was actually serious & everyone got dropped off or hit the run they kinda Ruined the scene themselfs

The music is not very diverse. Mostly gangsta rap. There really isn't much to hold the attention of anyone who loves rap but not too interested in the hardcore gang thing. Rap came partially out of a people's struggle and is tied to their history; I don't think Toronto has that organic flavour.

Ppl in TO dont know struggle...................................................
how Wakd can ya get!
whn ya talk ish, ya make yer mouth an anahs.
Still get a banger once every 3 months 🤷🏾♂️ Nuff Respect 💯
As an American living in the GTA. I thought the Toronto hiphop scene from 2015-2018 was gonna be lit and folks from back then would make it out to the US but no, Toronto rap now is just garbage, they all have the same weird accent, same sound in almost every song that they make, same lifestyle that they rap about and the average “dissing your opps”. These rappers from Toronto only see Toronto as the whole world. I was feeling it way back then but now it’s just ass. It’s pains me to say that I even got friends and other people that I know in the area that I live in that are trying to making it in the Toronto scene with the same generic Toronto sound. I showed love and support but deep down I knew that they ain’t gonna make it big.
I even went back to my hometown in California showed my family and friends over there, toronto rap, they said they ain’t even feeling or bopin to it, “trash”
And no matter how much Drake try’s and promotes Toronto rappers to his label. They still ain’t gonna make.
THIS IS THE HARSH TRUTH AND THE SAD REALITY FOR THE TORONTO HIPHOP SCENE.
Even if I would be become a rapper, I would not represent Toronto Canada or any ties to Toronto and it’s medias.
There is a few Toronto rappers who represent the Underground REAL HIP-HOP and some in BC who are active really big around Europe yearly touring. DON'T Allow yourself to think this is the only artist from Toronto
Underground rap as a whole is wack af
Burna, Houdini, & Benji 🌟🌟🔥🔥
Hey watch out for my boy A.S Kings and the MDV Movement, we are on our way to take over the Canadian Hip Hop scene.
Yea king khalia changes tingz she pretty bless wit it no lie lyriks on point
It’s not just Toronto, it’s the whole western world. Crackbabies took over the rap game and destroyed it…
they still crabbed about Snow
fun music
FACTS!!!
Real badman don't want to hear no damn Ethiopian and Somali rappers acting tuff , FK that
😂😂😂
Toronto used to have a sound but it has been forsaken for whats trendy. These artists now rather be martyrs then actual artists and are liabilities. No promoter in their right mind can put on a showcase without the fear of losing their reputation over folks who bring the streets into the music.
There were many guys back in the day who were involved in the streets but you would never tell because the way they presented the music. There was skill and a passion for the artform. Theres too many rappers and not enough emcees. Our city hasnt grown artistically given the exposure it has now with social media and streaming. Its gotten worse generally. You just have to look for what you like and that means sifting through a whole bunch of garbage to get it
I also think Drake had a bad influence on the scene and didn't add to the pot just take, he should be building a musical empire of artists but not everyone is like that imo.
Its not music its morse code to the opps, and score checking the game 🎯. The beat is just background noise. A lot of artists are talented, however they gravitate to the BS, and in turn place themselves in chrash out circumstances for either notaritety or survival. Being a rapper in Toronto is risky business. Best advise is make a hit and take your talents to the states.

Smoke Dawg/ Houdini/ Bvlly/
Dayyyyum

Actual good toronto rappers: Heartless G, Northside benji, pressa, houdini,duvy
To me it's just the accent tbh 😅y'all mixing too much shit together
Black communities in Toronto naturally sound like that... that's the problem with the internet right now, it's become such a trend to diss the Toronto accent that people misunderstood that Black people in Toronto have their own dialect since the 1980s
Jeez youre young af. Good channel though
All Facts.
Toronto rap hasn’t been truly good since, point blank regent park era
Y'all shoulda been here in the 90s...the US rappers all came up and vibed(unless our fn gov't locked them out!). If any 90s rappers seeing this plz drop somethin and do the city right
Its called substance i think every form of music should have substance its the drill rap your talking about that sucks no substance its just strictly fast food rap peace king u know what you talking about bless!
Canada goose is fucking goated
nothing wrong with the accent, its just the content
Just hard to take seriously when english is often their second language with the accent and slang they create no one finds them good
Toronto’s best rappers are dead or in jail that 2013-2019 period was untouchable the amount of bangers that was dropped but they’re scene was actually serious & everyone got dropped off or hit the run they kinda Ruined the scene themselfs
Naw the best toronto rap era has to go to from 2012-2016
