Thrust wasn’t all that either if we’re being real. Ironically Thrust did the best on this particular track trying his best to sound like B.I.G. And pulling it off pretty good.
so glad i found this page.. not enough canadians supporting their own.. you should add Yardi Black aka Mykill Darcshyne.. dudes been a o.g for a long time lots people dont know. keep up this page and stay blessed. yardi black ruclips.net/video/tlaVPTuEnUo/видео.html Mykill Darcshyne ruclips.net/video/jvgYk3A_1SU/видео.html
I was bumping this all the way down in New Orleans. Was the part of the soundtrack of my senior year (SHOUT OUT C/O 2000)Have ALWAYS respected the 6 hip hop scene.... Thank you Canada
@@bigrod8816 Kardinal was from Toronto though for sure. Dude went to my school. Graduated a few years before I went so I never met him or anything, but yeah he was on the wall of pictures of grads. By the time I was in gr 9, he was already all over much music so everyone knew.
Look up! You will find it there with where it came from! What Mo O? Not cool these days devil? Thanks for the cheap credit! Wheres my wife? Sure as hell isn't you
I remember this song 20 years later.... was the tune i liked most in Rap category in 1998.....in T.O all ages clubs ... or back in the day on City Tv ... back when local Toronto Tv channels were more Local..... I miss these days ... Was allot of fun
Northern Touch should of had a billion views by now I guess they dont like to see greatness in Canada I dont understand what happened this was the blueprint for all Canadian rappers
Home is where the hate is man. Toronto's has this weird thing where they like to kill their own rappers out of jealousy. There's a few RUclips documentaries u can find on the topic
As amazing as this is and was the blueprint was created before. Think of guys like Maestro original Canadian hip hop. Great time in hip hop and unfortunately Canada is now known for Drake. He couldn't read the blueprint.
@@KillaSin515 i didnt say that canada ruled hip-hop at that time. I said it was a golden era for us. And new york was not on top back then. It was the south that was on top and hip-hop suffered because of it. There was a reason that nas dropped the album 'hip-hop is dead' during the bling bling era.
@@africaRBG Nas dropped that album in 2006. This is late 90s early 2000. NY was still on top. The South was just starting. By the way...this song came out in 98. So yes. NY was still on top.
@@KillaSin515 what is the late 90s early 2000s ? In the late 90s the south was ascending already with master p, mystikal, juvenile, manny fresh, lil wayne, outkast etc. They were on top in the 2000s. Yes, nas dropped the album in 2006, which is the mid 2000s. And he dropped it for a reason, having seen the trend thus far of commercial hip-hop in the 2000s, which was coming primarily from the south.
Real hip hop. Shout out from Toronto - And a shout out to Saukrates, Maestro. Still stickin to my vision. I remember bein at the Skydome and the Rascalz got off stage and we all were yellin at em to come back. The car show. Man. Subbed. Much love.
My best friend Joshua sent me this video because I was having a very bad day at work. I got to say it changed the rest of the day with a smile because this song epitomizes our high school years and our long standing friendship. Late 1990's if I am not mistaken was when I saw this video on MuchMusic and like a lot of other comments below, Canadian hip hop royalty in full effect. Ah, those were the great days of hip hop.
@@randydube1423 sadly no, there's no interest in the history of music these days. people stumble across "old songs" mostly for reaction videos, or live under a rock
I love this song .. A Canadian song back in the day ... I popped my cherry to this song !!!’and that’s from a white boy ... On the BC Coast !!! Love ya clowns !!!
Here from Drakes story button
So you the reason why it popped up so quickly on my search bar 😂😂😂😂
Y’all so quick with it omg
Facts
😂😂
Shit gonna blow up lol
Thx Drake for reminding me of this masterpiece ❤😂
i forgot about this one too!!
"I like chillin, Monday night Raw watching
Me and Daneo at the Sky Dome when it's in town"
Man I miss the 90s.
Still listening to this in 2024🔥🔥🔥🇨🇦🇨🇦
Late 90's in the TDot was where it was at. Best decade.
Broooooo i keep saying this to every human i meet- no better time and place
I'd rather be in Toronto, for sure.
This entire song is a rapline of Canadian music royalty.
Thrust wasn’t all that either if we’re being real. Ironically Thrust did the best on this particular track trying his best to sound like B.I.G. And pulling it off pretty good.
It's missing Michie Mee, but she was out the game by the time this was conceived.
Yess
Not without Maestro Fresh Wes! 😉

Remember this the Summer of 98 on Rapcity

With a young Melyssa Ford on the lap.

SL504NYY26 appreciate the love but most of these guys are from Vancouver Canada, not Toronto
@@bigrod8816 Daaamn northern touch all the way down in the dirty south?

Word! I'm from and love Toronto hip hop; Madlocks, Ghetto Concept, Saukrates, Kardinal, Drake, etc.
@@bigrod8816kardi, choclair definitely from Toronto. As is Saukrates who appears in the vid.
Aw. He called it the Sky Dome. ❤️
It is the Skydome
It is forever the Sky Dome in my mind d
@@mikepereira2273 Rogers Centre but you call it what you want
I had this on tape. Played it on repeat till my cassette broke.
FOREVER A CLASSIC
Criminally underrated group.
Thrusts lines on this are the best
This blew up so hard in Canada when it dropped, respect
@Oh Canada oh boy.
Facts bro. Good times.
Canadian Wu Tang and I'm here for it!!
Good ol' MuchMusic. Damn! I miss those days.
This should be the anthem for the Raptors. #northovereverything
Definetely should!
I think ill still be here 30 years later pulling this up every time i want to show people the best of canadian rap
40 year Italo Canadian I grew up on this shit !!!!! I wish they would do with Canadian tour
They're part of OVO this year in Toronto! Whole line up of canadian artists!
they don't make rap like this no more. sad times we're living in.

When the raptors won the finals this song came to my head
Bakardi Slang for me.
how has it been 22 years... damn life moves fast.
how has it been 23 years... damn life moves fast.
@@1moreastronautttv you might even say the years start comin' and they dont stop comin'
For real
Get busy living or get busy dying.
this is real Canadian hip hop
This is still a beauty in 2023!
😊
I remember when this track dropped. They came out swinging with this one and it became a grand slam IMO. Also, that opening beat 👌
Look up! You will find it there with where it came from! What Mo O? Not cool these days devil? Thanks for the cheap credit! Wheres my wife? Sure as hell isn't you
Still amazing boys …… CANADA
Years later, this still hits

Because of this song I knew what reall hip hop was. Props to all these Canadian Kings
I give this song a "YES SIRRRRR" stamp of approval.🔥🔥🔥
I remember bumping this shit at parties in 98 bc I was *that* head in high school (living in Virginia, not a lot of heads were hip to Canadian MCs).
Drizzy got me here LFG

Nothing but Canadian love in this video
When the video dropped on MuchMusic, every teenager in Toronto was like "'woahhhhhhhhhh.... we're here!....." This jam still hits hard.
Needed Maestro in this song 100%
Daniel Irving -Yup
Whoa didn't realize that the north god wasn't on the track
Let's petition for a new northern touch tune
+ monolith crew! + saukrates
Checkmate the Legend =) Vancouver legends, Amazing shit still to these dayz
The goldern era of canadian hip-hop, late 90s-mid 2000s. Great memories. We had our own style, while americans were lost in their bling-bling era.
Stop. NY still ruled hip hop at that time.

25 years later and still a banger
Surprised this song was posted so recently... Classic Canadian Hip-hop.
Frequency and Fever it’s reposted. This video always gets taken down I’ve noticed
Classic still in 2020
Real hip hop. Shout out from Toronto - And a shout out to Saukrates, Maestro. Still stickin to my vision. I remember bein at the Skydome and the Rascalz got off stage and we all were yellin at em to come back. The car show. Man. Subbed. Much love.
Heard this yesterday on the radio and it threw me alllll the way back!! Haven’t heard this in years.
Thrust is my favorite verse
Not even as good as most of these rappers but on this track he bodied everyone.
@@UstashaMe84 by biting biggie's style
S W 100% he did. Blatant.
He even says "Notorious"
As soon as I heard what they were rapping over I thought America at it's finest. America is a continent, not a country. Big ups from Minnesota.
Who still Monday Night RAW watchin' in 2023?

First concert I ever went to (Rascalz). Got early entrance because I knew the owners of the skate shop hosting the show. Forever locked in my memory.
Legendary! 🇨🇦 …. P.s. what skate shop?
Rascalz should have blown up ... crazy Canadian music scene ... they got robbed!
Me to bro first hip hop show was rascalz I was 16 it was 1996 in Edmonton in some ole garage somewhere. Shit was classic
Still on my playlist 2023
I remember This track like it was yesterday , good times back in them days
Man, for a while, this song was... if not Canada's national anthem, it was Toronto's national anthem.
Early 2000s I lived near the don valley jail
Iconic
2023 still bumps
The original Canadian Ogs they put van city and Toronto on the map
Classic! Soul Obligation is another classic! 2020
Rascalz are a Canadian hip-hop group from VANCOUVER 😂 Drake with the subliminal paying respect to vancouver goons

2024
This needs to become the anthem if the Raps take the championship this year
I miss Much Music.

This video still bangs even now that the sky dome name is the Rogers centre.
It will always be the Sky Dome.

I wonder if the cats from our gen listening to this can dig back deeper with boss Canadian hip hop like Michie Mee.
@@randydube1423 sadly no, there's no interest in the history of music these days. people stumble across "old songs" mostly for reaction videos, or live under a rock
i have nothing against drake but i like old school Canadian hip hop more
Usually my rule for the Hip Hop golden era is "98s too late". But not in Canada! We're always a year behind the states, lol.
Always a few years behind lol 😭
