Heard a track better than this?

Shad is the dopest Canadian rapper alive, after Drake. (You know I'm being sarcastic)

Off his latest album TSOL.

(Verse 1)
Maybe I'm not big cuz i don't blog or twitter
Not like I'm bitter
I didn't happen on the flop, but i'll win it on the river
Longest winter got me seasoned
Now I'm a non-beginner meanin'
Not yet a veteran but nevertheless
Pick the drug or the rapper man im better than Meth
Dope as either or ether the drug or the jay diss
I would say dope as reefer but that would be too basic
And overplayed, overslaved won't complain though
The games been good to a young and outta London so i'm grateful
Not just for the fundin' or for the fans
But for the chance to say sumthin, it wasn't in the plans at first
It was sad days, halfway to graduation
Cap and black cape making job applications
I hate the catch phrase "Canadian rap sensation"
Shad K don't have chains, big as the Appalachians
But since the label put me out like ash trays to smoke cats
I have gained some accolades and admiration
It's grown since then
Though that second album man was so old-school
Folks called it old princeton
Im still penny pinchin it was so fine
My bills gonna hold still as pig skin
When its field goal time, now
That being said it's still 09
And i still got alot of credit I still owe 9
But they charge no interest, So i pay no interest
Meaning I pay no mind, If there ain't no fine, I'm fine
I hope I ain't boring yall rappin bout rap
But the only thing i love more then rappin is nappin
and I know nobody want to hear me rap about that
You want the underdog spazzin on the track

I get it,

(Verse 2)
Well my name ain't Lil' Wayne
Gretzky, But yall know better than to check me
In the game, my whole record's like a technique
Tellin' referees to peak at the press seats a sec please
DROP YOUR GLOVES OJ *haha*
I knock you into next week make you get teeth replaced
Can't use plates what you get to eat
Gives new meaning to tube steak
Like watching you bosom feed doomsday
Move on these squares like a chesspiece, I'm deadly
Even if you're Supernatural , I'm Craig G
Jesse James meets Jet Li
Killing these fakes at break neck speed
I make your head steam like a pet peeve
Get your neck squeezed till the breath leaves
Got the finesse and the prestige
And more mac(k) then 10 tech geeks dissing XP
Best in the league of vets like ex-marines highest pedigree
When i get the beat its hereditary
Genetic freak poetically
One-ten degree Memphis heat spittin steadily
Medically decapitate this rapper's face
Still won't get a head of me
I'm the best I'll ever be (Yeah!)
The cats out the bag, the new Shad's out
Now they spell it S.H.A.D.D. the way i spaz out
I don't bad mouth but i'll quickly put down the cat if he bit me like
Roy's boy Sigfried, Welcome to the big leagues
Where they pitch heat, still on a hit streak
My rappin's like battin' .360
*Hey Griffey slow down do something less cerebral*
I ain't big enough yet
*I gotta keep impressin people*
I get it , guess its a lesser evil
Weapons lethal as a Desert Eagle
Now my lethal weapon won(one)
You don't get a sequel

I Get it,

(verse 3)
No eviction notice still i'm homeless on a poets mission
Not that I'm a fiend stealing bass like Otis Nixon
Livin' on the street now i'm livin' on the road consistent
Making fans multiply like a coefficient
Record sales im making low comission but the visions mine
They don't change my record like pitchin' a no decision
Guitar playing emcee Yea i'm known for spittin'
while i'm tappin on my fender like cars in a slow collision
The precision of my flows in terms of tone and diction
Is akin to that of the old masters of prose and fiction
So many sold their souls , my soul ambitions
To hold solace so calm and bright as a solar system
I'm from a soul tradition; heads think I'm going to prison
Cause I'm talking bout this rap sheet with the most conviction
The most commitment, no other pro is so proficient
The coldest spittin', Rakim north pole edition
LISTEN !




Don't sleep.

Yup. I just don't like him alot though. ALL his mixtapes have been boring, one good single which I'm not going to name, nominated for a Grammy and he's dropping an album and everyone thinks he's the best thing since sliced bread. A slightly improved, less annoying version of Lil Wayne. Let's hope they find him with more iPods and extend his stay in jail to like 5 years lol. cheesy

Yessir. You know I wouldn't recommend rubbish naw. :p

I'd have said he's the best rapper alive, but I don't want anyone to break bottle on my head, so let's just say best Canadian rapper alive. lol

I second you on that, first time I heard him (Successful), I was like, what's all the Drake hype about? But he has one or two good moments on his tracks cheesy. On the other hand, I'm checking out a lot of Shad's stuff on YouTube, trying to catch up, y'know. LOL. Thanks for recommending him wink.

The beat was too loud, only wack rappers need that to overshadow the lyrics they don't have. But I think he has good lyrics. He seems familiar too, think I've watched this video before or something else by him.

Re: Shad- Yaa I Get It. by maedan(f): 10:26pm On May 22, 2010
This is the second time someone is complaining about the noisy soundtrack. Both girls undecided grin. The music might seem loud because his voice is so cultured and even. If it was Lil Wayne now. . . . maybe it would all have matched tongue. The percussions were a bit much on the track though, but that's all.
Re: Shad- Yaa I Get It. by chiogo(f): 10:36pm On May 22, 2010
^^Funny 'cause I actually like my music loud and I'm very much into beats - love 'em. I just don't like when an artist's voice is overshadowed by the beat esp. when it's not a party track, like he's actually saying something meaningful. tongue
Re: Shad- Yaa I Get It. by maedan(f): 10:40pm On May 22, 2010
Lol. Like I said, he's authentic, loud and proud is how it used to be done. Won't name names, don't want to drag out the issue, but this was the way it was done. That's why some folks frowned on rap. Nowadays it's more sweetness and light, with hooks and stuff cheesy. The cornier it is, the more money you get undecided tongue cheesy.

Most of his songs are like this. I think he does it on purpose. Don't know why though. Doesn't affect the quality of the music imo.

LMFAO!!!
I'm sure everyone's tired of that annoying giggle. Why do rappers LAUGH on their tracks? *evil look at Jada, Jeezy and Weezy*

That stuff is TOO sick. It's about as high up there as Hon. Patrick's stuff.

And another Shad track, this one dedicated to you. grin


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4XrSHK9dp4
Shad- 'I Heard You Had A Voice Like An Angel'

I heard you had a voice like an angel
I heard a strange tale
About a saint that fell; music became jail
These bars, I hear you rapped in 'em
Wove in the beats like the clothing of sheep
Wolves' tracks, spin 'em
DJ's, CD's, C-notes,
G's thrown on D's with B King like T, I hope
I heard you even sang when you spoke
And the emotion you evoked got you choked
When your beauty struck a vocal chord broke
Throw the stove overboard
Looked upon the ocean, caught your reflection before the Lord's
I heard you had a voice like an angel
Strange though, you were blinded by the light
Shining from your own halo
Fell off, sorta like a rainbow
When heaven watched your faint glow fade slow
I heard you had a voice like an angel

I heard that fame's a killer that can murder great princes
Like Kurt Cobain, singin' "Purple Rain" from a distance
Hope home ain't a virtual game, nor this cursed place
Earth, where the dollars and the karma don't circulate
The world's a stage and you know this play well
Gee, I bet you even know how it ends, pray tell
Had a voice like an angel, now you score the drama scenes
The comedy's the fact, re-enact what you wanna be
Had some old song still stuck in your memory
Distorted, though, so you sort of reassembled melodies
And fine-tuned and turned 'em into single after single
Then this industry you built, so sinfully simple for
You to write, 'cause a song is what your life was
The destiny of stars is their light must fight dusk
For sparks of brilliance to ignite us
And of all the billions of stars, you were by far the brightest
I heard you had a voice like an angel
Now it's just a light hush

And now you keep everybody's eyes on charts and schedules
And the trends, tryna stack gold bars and medals,
They want vessels, void and dark
The space fools wanna make stars
Instead of music that's smart or special
Because art at a level that's real can be harder to peddle
Business prefers a market that settles
For second rate, kill the true artist, martyr the rebels
That's the system and it's straight from the heart of the devil
See, merchants of dreams sewed the soul's eyes wide shut
Passing the buck to purchase a pass to buy stuff
Workin' in the circus, get hired up
To walk over half-knots on a tightrope, tied up
And my god, it's a delicate balance, developing talent
Into persons that we worship, yo, it's a hell of a challenge
I heard you had a voice like an angel
Don't really sing no more, but you still runnin' the game, so
If we don't behave like them, they call us crazy
And if we won't slave for them, they call us lazy
Lately, I've started to see why you hate me
Hearing this voice, it must be painful
To the ears, when, for years, you had a voice like an angel

And if you don't behave as them, they call you crazy
And if you won't slave for them they call you lazy
Well, I say
They wanna take your mind, turn it into a prison
Then lock you inside, then they'll call that livin'
Well, I say
And if you don't behave as them, they call you crazy
And if you won't slave for them they call you lazy
Well, I say
They wanna take your mind, turn it into a prison
Then lock you inside, then they'll call that livin'
Well, I say
I heard you had a voice like an angel

They say, "smile for the camera"
They say, "smile for the camera
Smile for the camera
While we take your children
Smile for the camera
While we despoil your women
Smile for the camera
While we make our millions
Smile for the camera
While we make our buildings
Smile for the camera, smile for the camera"
They say, "smile for the camera"

This dude is too sick. . .
