yeah these guys are pretty dope, some chillen cats

youtube Matt Brevner, JayKin, Snak The Ripper, Caspian etc... some dope local hiphop



edit - lol trippy seeing some of my posts from when I was 17

LOL no kidding. The problems of Canadian youth -- life is so hard!

I bet this guy grew up in a $900,000 house and went to a private school.

Here's something dope from the island :)

^ holy shit i haven't heard this song in years!! good times...

That video is ridiculous... those guys should pack up and head to some major US city with a ghetto. I hate to break it to them but the days of "rollin" down Hastings with your rattlecanned 80s lowrider on Daytons being cool are long gone in Vancouver.

Edit - forgot about Langdon Auger, they are my favourite out of this thread.

I randomly found this thread while searching for something and just happen to be listening to madchilds new "dope sick" CD. I also just finished watching the following interview (below). I know this thread is old but looks like he's turned his shit around and this new album is pretty sick. Good on him.

thats a lot of arm waving...

Does no one believe in representin' the 778?

i just puked all over my computer fml

I've heard better freestyle rappers from mission then what has been posted here..

Lol, no you haven't

HOODRICH ftw

you guys are all into that gangster rap lol

seriously, check out Matt Brevner. The guy is probably the most talented artist coming out of Vancouver (New West).


although the talent pool in Vancouver is pretty shallow

liking the song and video.

/end.

Snak, caspian, and even mad child to a degree is all nerd rap, all their rhymes are just words that sound like other words. Their tracks have no substance

I went to school with Konfidential. He's gotten play on MuchMusic and such and opens for Xzibit on the 26th, so that's pretty cool.

How is that any different than lil wayne and most other rappers these days?

Didn't Lil Wayne actually grow up in real ghetto poverty?

That's what I was referring to. Having a ghetto pass does not make you a good rapper. Lil Wayne is really a terrible rapper.

From Wikipedia

Carter enrolled in the gifted program of Lafayette Elementary School and in the drama club of Eleanor McMain Secondary School

this video/song is sick as fuck
