This is our archive of classic Canadian Hip Hop performances. If you used to bring a video camera to rap shows back in the day and have some old footage you’d like to share, please contact us.
Edmonton, The Rev (2001) Lonesome Charlies consisted of emcee Vizion (who went by I-Tel at the time) and a crew of bboys, one of whom also did backups and played the melodica. This footage (previously featured on UGSMAG back in 2001) is from a performance at The Rev, where they opened for Moka Only. This was when I had first met Vizion and found out he actually originated from Saskatoon.
Edmonton, (2002) This was a dope show and the crowd was asking for this song all night. A slightly different version of Frek Sho's 1996 classic single "Patience" (Ismaila flipped his lyrics, Kutdown is on the cuts and there's no Gumball or Sunil). The original music video for this track (directed by Micill Shazzam Write), also included below, used to receive play on muchmusic's Rap City back in the day; one of the first prairie rap groups to do it.
Edmonton, Some Bar? (2002) Buck 65 video from his album Square. Buck did well to put up with a 2 ft mic cord, smoke machine, and the drunk heckler who was going off all night.
Saskatoon, Airliner Dance Hall (2001) Video of Pip Skid & Epic's "All up in this piece" from Pipi's Friends4Ever album.
Saskatoon, Airliner Dance Hall (2001) Your Brother In My Back Pack, featuring members Yy & The Gumshoe Strut from their Milch & Allegra EP, with John Smith doing backups and DJ Hunnicutt on the one-and-twos.
