What's up guys this is Nav.
[1]
I'm here at Genius about to film the Cosign
and I’m gonna see how I feel about these
[4]
new Canadian artists.
[9]
The new Toronto scene music is just ... It's
not like a safe kind of music.
[13]
I feel like before when we were growing up
whoever they presented as hip-hop artists
[17]
was kind of a safe bet that we could show
the rest of the world whereas now it's just
[21]
like ... We're just us, you know what I mean?
[22]
We have our own identity.
[23]
I don't wanna fall victim to the stereotype
that Canadian artists don't pick each other
[27]
up.
[28]
So that's why if I like someone I just show
them love, show them support.
[31]
I don't care where you're from.
[32]
What neighborhood, it doesn't matter.
[41]
His energy’s right.
[42]
I like his energy.
[48]
No the beat selection's crazy.
[50]
Like I don't think I've ever heard a Toronto
artist on a beat like this.
[56]
Yeah, I like this, good energy.
[57]
You can tell he's ready to be a rapper.
[61]
I like Lil Berete because ... I don't know
... his energy and his dance moves and stuff
[65]
was dope.
[66]
He has more confidence than I have.
[69]
Straight up.
[70]
He’s dope.
[70]
He could be something.
[75]
Are those tampons?
[78]
She definitely has the look, I mean.
[80]
I don't know if I really feel the song, but
the tampon thing got my attention for sure.
[90]
And then there's period blood.
[91]
That's nice.
[95]
Yep smear it, that's nice.
[97]
That's dope.
[98]
Now she’s nutting champagne.
[101]
All right.
[101]
That was weird.
[102]
I can tell she went to school for directing
or film or whatever because
[105]
I can tell that she picked the scene for herself
[107]
where she's laying in the tampons.
[109]
She's got a Katy Perry vibe to her, you know?
[111]
She could be something.
[112]
It's just not my cup of tea.
[116]
Nah, I can't.
[117]
Nah.
[118]
I just can't.
[119]
This is like...Come on, bro.
[121]
This is corny.
[121]
Ain't this the guy that said sorry to Tory
Lanez or something?
[123]
He looks so familiar.
[125]
Yeah, it is.
[125]
He’s crying over a girl that left him for
another dude.
[128]
But you’re an artist bro.
[131]
Go get another one!
[139]
I think he should've saved his passion for
something else and not that girl and this
[144]
song.
[144]
Yeah that was just weird.
[147]
Like, I’m not into the song, not into the
whole message and the corny beginning and stuff.
[159]
Oh, Amiri’d up, yeah I like that.
[160]
Yeah, he’s drippin’!
[166]
A couple things I like about this guy is a lot
[168]
of guys in Toronto that are rapping from the
hood and stuff like that, they just put auto-tune
[172]
on, they don't know really how to hit the
note.
[174]
And he's really always melodically tight.
[176]
You don't really hear his auto-tune go off.
[178]
He doesn't sound like a Toronto man.
[179]
You know what I mean?
[180]
He doesn't have that thick Toronto accent
like, "Yo, fam", that whole shit.
[185]
You can't really hear it in his stuff.
[186]
That's why I like it more.
[187]
I like Houdini.
[188]
Houdini could go someplace as long as he stays
out of trouble.
[200]
What he's saying is kinda hypocritical because
of the way he looks.
[208]
Oh, he's trying to spit a message-message
right now.
[212]
He's really angry.
[213]
You're gonna listen to this song on the way
to work or in the club?
[217]
It's not my cup of tea.
[220]
I don't really like ... you know ... this
style of rap either.
[222]
It sounds like when Eminem tried to come back.
[225]
His words are too articulated for me.
[227]
It looks good.
[228]
I mean, if you put a different song, a different
vibe to it, maybe it'd be cooler.
[233]
But the video is very professional.
[234]
It looks dope.
[235]
Thank God I’m high right now.
[236]
This is so much funner.
[243]
That's around my neighborhood.
[245]
Close to my mom's house.
[246]
This is probably the best music I heard from
this neighborhood.
[249]
And you can't really say he's not rapping
about his real life because ... people
[255]
from Toronto be knowin’ about these guys.
[262]
He has the potential to become big one day,
as long as he gets the right song.
[265]
And in this song you could tell he knows ... just
like I said ... he knows how to use the auto-tune
[269]
properly.
[270]
Just those basic things.
[271]
If you have those basic things you could build
on it.
[273]
I’ve never heard of him but I like it.
[275]
It’s dope.
[281]
The rappers were the ones I liked the most.
[283]
Lil Berete, Houdini and Pilla B. So all the
rap ... real ... you know?
[287]
Street rappers, I like them all.
[289]
All those artists were fire.
[290]
I'm actually pretty, pretty proud of them
to be honest, I'm not gonna lie.
[293]
After watching all these videos the rapper
who gets my cosign is Houdini.
[298]
Just 'cause he's probably the only one out
of these videos that I have one of his songs
[301]
in my rotation and I just like his style and
everything is dope.
[305]
Yeah it’s authentic.
[306]
Nothing fake about this.
[307]
It’s that whole like, dark sound that came
about when Abel and Drake popped off and all
[312]
the other artists after them.
[313]
I kinda feel like that’s more in touch with
Toronto culture than the stuff that was presented
[317]
when I
was a kid.
