Canada has a sizeable Caribbean population. I've heard the same slang from Toronto people before Drake. Classic example, the Sean Paul "Get Busy" video was shot in Ontario and is Jamaican as fuck. For such a small island our influence is massive. Whole regions adopting our slang.


Also, as Keef loses, Mac Miller stay winning

Man.. my dad recently told me Sean Paul is from Toronto or something and I was mindblown.

Whole time I thought dude was straight from D ISLANDS, but nah.



mind. blown.


trinidadians > jamaicans

Drake's begging it with the UK scene/slang. Stated before he loved grime and shouted out a few MCs but never does anything with them.. pretty sure he just did it when he came o the UK and was talking to Tim Westwood just to get some props from the UK.
He even started posted stuff about the UK tv series Topboy.

Nardwuar: Who are you?

Ab-Soul: Before I introduce myself I just wanted to say I'm gonna punch you in the face if you say something too weird

idk how people can be a dick to Nardwuar, he asks awesome questions and gives gifts...dude is the coolest interviewer in the industry

I can understand depending on the situation, like sometimes people get caught off guard by what a strange persona he is, and while it's innocuous I can see how you might be like wtf especially since interviewers in the game try and milk you for whatever soundbite they can. It's a weird stimulus you're introducing to an artist. It's disarming and completely unlike any other interviewer.

Also some people just have no tolerance for weirdos.

Insecure people like Big Sean and Drake get weirded out, as if they're above someone like Nardwuar.
What are you talking about?

I still don't get how any of y'all think Big Sean was trippin', he clearly was playing along and knew the doot doot and everything and even after pretend leaving he stayed to close out the interview proper. Big Sean is a mad chill guy in general, he never pulls any of that holier than thou shit.

Drake was raised on Nardwuar (dude was all over Much), and it was all love in their interview too. He even gave Nardwuar a gift IIRC.

I agree. Feel like if you're not familiar, you think you're getting punked or something.

My bad, I meant Kid Cudi instead of Drake. I just mentioned Big Sean to rustle your jimmies (we talked about that interview before, he got butthurt because he didn't know the Detroit artists Nardwuar was talking about).

I can see that at the beginning of the interview but once he starts showering you with these kick ass gifts it's like...just chill...

I'd say the weirder interviews were around the beginning of his Youtube career, where people weren't cognizant of his eccentric persona. I haven't seen a shitty Nardwuar interview in a minute tho, since most people probably know he's a cool dude by now.

What Esch saying is true, but I don't think it excuses Ab-Soul's corny ass. He's very aware Nardwuar is harmless since 2 of his crewmates got interviewed by him with no negative experiences whatsoever (the Q and Kendrick interviews are probably top 10 material). He just tried to be funny or hard or something, and it comes out as forced as everything else that comes out of his mouth.

Thats the weirdest part. Random dude researching obscure parts of you and giving you shit?

But I'm the type to look a gift horse in the mouth.
TBH if you're in the industry and you haven't heard of Nardwuar by now, you're probably DMX. Can't sympathize with people with no chill, especially when it's so focused and mostly professional.

I think the weirdest it gets is Nardwuar stalking K.R.I.T.'s camp for weeks or whatever.
