    Does anyone have tapes of those Toronto VS. NY parties? I know I've asked this before.

    You need to get back to Toronto, man. Mind you, all that cool stuff you just mentioned is gone, and we're adults now, so it's just not the same.

    That first Ron Nelson record's pretty weak, but a nice novelty.

    Pez and Kees 1st Generation TTC Tags

    I totally forgot about this, right up until now. I remember being a kid on the TTC and seeing a handful of the same names tagged around town.

    Bring back New York Connections and Dundas Flea Market!

    I lived around the corner from Spectrum, too bad I was too young to get up in the joint.

    Does anyone remember Carnival records??? I skipped school to pick up Maestro's debut album, or in my case a cassette the day that it dropped.

    I knew a few canadians and they are really fonky, if fonky means being very cool and gentle people.

    I got Cold Front on wax.

    Let Quebec get some shine - who here remembers Movement Rap Francophone?

    "Bouger! Danser! MLF est arriv??!"

  • oh and who's got the b-kool tape or cold front comp

    I've got a fifth generation dub of that Cold Front comp. Fatski's the only person I know that has it on vinyl. B-Kool? Damn... I saw Split Personality's cd in some random used book/cd store a while back. I just remember the video was them running through some high school halls. I'm sure it consisted of more, but that's all I remember.

    Now who's got an extra copy of 'EZ on the Motion' for me?

    Where are the Ebony MC's of today I say.

    I've been away and I come back and see a great post like this...



    I'm working on ripping an old Ron Nelson tape I have. From when DJ Cheese was first here... The intro starts off with "Warning, the mix you are about to hear, is so damn fresh, it may blow your mind!" Beat drops... Cheese cuts up platinum blonde CRYYIN' I know lots of people have the concert version.. but I love the radio show one... It's also got a wicked beat box mix on it. It's the only tape I have left (I had about 60-70 shows from around 87ish to 92, but some gurl stole my collection awhile back.



    Anyways... Everybody always wants the ol concert hall US vs Canada battle. I know, someone on the board is working out a deal or something to get his hands on this video footage. If he ever does... It will be game over IMO.



    I was there that night... I was around 14 I believe. But I came right at the end of the night and missed almost everything.



    Interesting bit of trivia...



    Any canadian house people?? Peter, from PTS/Peter&Tyrone/83 West was a big hip hop DJ back in the day and battled at that concert. HAHA... Lawd have mercy!







    Damn.. There's no pics of Mr. Metro on the net?? Very sad...







    Old school Toronto people... Big Up PEK

    As worn by Redman. They're still around doing clothes (!). I can't front. I used to have a t-shirt from there. Again, thank you Dundas Flea Market.

    No doubt...



    I remember when Serious came back from Japan he had video footage of that 12". Was going for around 80-100 bucks.





    The 12" I always wanted more copies of was Franks 12" (Frankenstein's Pain). That first record was one of the baddest T.Dot 12"'s IMO.



    Anyone got that on MP3 for me?

    I would've liked a copy of black tie affair on wax - seldom see that today.

    There are some (I think 2 12"s and one LP) Maestro records that go for some $$$ dollars...

    That first Frank single, along with the NY Remixed (I think that was the name of it) goes for some loot from my understanding. Dope records that look very unassuming. He needs to drop some new stuff. I assume he's doing mostly production nowadays. I see his name pop up in credits now and then.

    Anything Grassroots affliated seems to be hot property in Japan. Good taste. I remember people sleeping on that record for so long.
