The top 10 Toronto hip hop acts of all time

TOP TOP TORONTO HIP HOP行动的行为只是如何丰富和多样化(更不用说经常遵循的人)加拿大的嘻哈现场。作为加拿大最重要的大都市中心,我们的许多国家的嘻哈重量级都不令人惊讶。虽然有一些明显的选择,但这是一个艰巨的任务,可以在任何类型中缩小这样的列表。我的包容标准是一种法案的历史意义,其发布的成功基于专辑销售和批评的赞誉,以及他们闯入国际市场的能力。如果你认为有人错过了,请告诉我们在评论中知道。

Here are the top 10 Toronto hip hop acts of all time.

Drake
没有说唱歌手重复多伦多超过德雷克- 最近的腰带是他为猛龙队的全球大使。除了大型商业电影之外,他的音乐天赋和对嘻哈的影响是不可否认的。他的最后三张专辑已经消失了铂金,并在广告牌上的1号上达到峰值,他在广告牌热门歌曲歌曲图表(14)上持有大多数1次命中的记录。他被提名为13种格莱美,并获得了一个,加上无数赌注奖和6个超级视频奖。询问森林山是否构成“底部”的人,未能实现德雷克在谈论他的职业生涯中。他什么都没有飙升,找到了一切。所有迹象表明德雷克伸出一段时间......所以习惯了!

Maestro新鲜的Wes.
It would almost be easy to underestimate the importance of Maestro on this list, given the strength of Toronto's hip hop community today. It was a different story back in 1989 when he released "Let Your Backbone Slide," a single that actually made the top 40 (unprecedented for Canadian hip hop at the time). Much of the 1990s were less friendly to Maestro, but he's returned to being a Toronto hip hop fixture and an ambassador for the community at large since dropping theBlack Tuxedoin 2012. Drake might be the international poster boy for Toronto hip hop, but Maestro is, well, the backbone of the local scene.

索克尔斯
One of Toronto's most prominent hip hop figures is rapper, singer, and producer Saukrates. In 1994 Capitol Hill released his heavily popularBrick HouseEP, featuring Common, O.C. and Masta Ace. This led to full length,The Underground Tapes, and collabs with Choclair, Pharoahe Monch, Xzibit, and Heltah Skeltah. He snagged his second Juno nomination for "Money Or Love", had a track on the soundtrack for Red & Meth's "How High," and produced "Heaven" on Nas'God's Son。在06年他为妮莉费塔朵做了大量的工作,appearing with her at the 94th Grey Cup, the American Music awards, and on her "Get Loose" tour. He's still a member of Redman's Gilla House crew. Last year Saukrates released sophomore albumSeason One,由Redman,Nelly Furtado和K-OS的富牛德和出现的制作。

Kardinal Offishall
出生于斯卡伯勒,Kardi负责的不仅仅是普及T-Dot。他的职业生涯开始在一个令人难以置信的笔记 - 12岁时,他将他的第一个展会发表给包括尼尔逊曼德拉的观众。Kardhinal的Dancehall Reggae影响风格在国际上被拥抱,让世界看到多伦多作为它是多元文化的枢纽。他与肖恩保罗,婴儿蓝色SoundCrew,Rascalz合作,并于2005年,他最终会签署他的kon实时分销标签)。2007年,他单身“危险”成为广告牌热量100图的五大击中,并在加拿大走了三倍铂金。最近kardi发布请允许我重新介绍自己, a collaborative mixtape with producer Nottz.

k-os
Referred to as an alternative hip hop artist, k-os has certainly worn many hats over his stylistically diverse career. He won a MuchMusic Award for his '93 single "Musical Essence," then took time to better define his sound. His debut album出口被释放在02年,广告牌称赞它是有史以来的加拿大最佳嘻哈发布之一。他的接下来的两张专辑在加拿大去了铂金,用一把单打的单打,包括“Crabbuckit”,“B-Boy Stance”,“我曾经是男人”的,“星期天早上”。2005年,他被提名为与化学兄弟合作的格莱美,“让自己很高”。今年K-OS掉了下来BLack on BLonde, a double-disc highlighting his ability to cross genres - one disc hip hop, the other rock.

Dream Warriors
Hailing from Jane & Finch and Willowdale, this group formed in '88 when King Lou and Capital Q joined forces. They made waves a few years later with their jazzy rap debutAnd Now The Legacy Begins。这张专辑最终赢得了朱诺并去了金加拿大,并在国外受到欢迎。在95年,他们向集团并发布了RPeed Spek和DJ LuvSubliminal Simulationfeaturing Butterfly of Digable Planets and Gangstarr. King Lou and Capital Q stuck around for the release of the Dream Warriors' greatest hits compAnthology: A Decade of hits 1988-1998他们的最后一张工作室专辑'02遗产继续......In 2011 they performed at CBC's Hip Hop Summit alongside Maestro Fresh Wes, Michie Mee, and Ghetto Concept.

Michie Mee
Michie Mee最重要的加拿大嘻哈先驱之一,Michie Mee一直是多伦多嘻哈历史的一个组成部分。1985年,当她只有15阶段,用Boogie Down Productions在舞台上进行。然后用DJ L.A. Luv用KRS-One和Scott La Rock录制KRS-One和Scott La Rock。1988年,他们签署了大西洋,让她成为第一位加拿大说唱歌手,签署了一个美国专业的交易。三年后,他们单身“牙买加乐克”赢得了朱诺奖提名。随着时间的推移,她会把她的注意力更多地表达,但仍然偶尔发布单打,并保持对社区的影响作为教育的倡导者。

Choclair
出生于斯卡伯勒,Choclair Aka Chox或Chiznock将对加拿大嘻哈留下重大影响。在爬上地下绳索后,他释放了他的What It TakesEP于1997年。两年后他的第一个全长,Ice Cold,将作为加拿大经典之一。关闭kardinal offishall的实力产生了单一的“让我们骑,”专辑将销售超过50,000份副本,赢得朱诺奖,这是一个非常多的视频奖,以及Socan奖。Choclair会继续发布三张一张工作室专辑以及早期未发布录音的集合。虽然这些专辑都不会让他首次亮相的关注,但多伦多的嘻哈场景中的Choclair's Place是在石头上设定的。

D-SISIVE.
Known for his off-center style and introspective lyricism, D-Sisive aka Derek Christoff has been around since the late 1990s. After the release of his first two EPs, other than being featured on DJ Format's popular single "3 Feet Deep", he went through a lengthy self-proclaimed period of dormancy until书EP.in 2008. As if struck by a lightning bolt of creativity, he unleashed years of pent up artistry, spreading it out over 2 more EPs and 6 albums during the next half-decade. His '09 release "Let The Children Die" was nominated for a Polaris Music Prize. D-Sisive has never shied away from using his music to address the deep trials and tribulations of his personal life, and this freedom from creative constraints puts him in a unique category.

Ghetto Concept
Hailing from Rexdale and Lawrence Heights, this duo was most active in the 1990s, winning two Juno awards for singles "Certified" and "E-Z On Tha Motion", respectively. Although they formed in 1989, the duo wouldn't release their debut album until 1998. It was well received, but their most popular single didn't come until 2001, in the form of "Still Too Much" a remix featuring Maestro, Kardinal Offishall, Red-1, and Snow. Currently they've formed G7 Records representing a handful of artists, and rumour has it Ghetto Concept is planning a new album called Times Up.

主要来源
主要来源在多伦多和纽约之间分裂 - 来自多伦多的HaIling是先生的划痕和k-cut,他们首先与纽约的大教授合作,那么Mikey D.随机琐事的粉丝(或者你知道,嘻哈历史)会知道他们的第一个光盘Breaking Atoms(1991) boasted the first on-record appearance of Nas on track "Live at the Barbeque." The followed this up with '94'sFuck What You Think, which caught the attention of Madonna - she sampled "What You Need" in a little track called "Human Nature." K-Cut went on to work as a producer for Maestro Fresh-Wes, Queen Latifah, and (seriously) Shaquille O'Neal.
