Kardinal Offishall - The Anthem

[@s33thr3w]

Man I always wished this took off especially in Toronto sports. Imagine Raptor fans in a whole stadium, Jurassic park, bars, people on the street chanting "I'm from the T dot Ohhh." Love this song.

[@user-me5hb2xl1j]

The almighty Drake wouldn't have any of that

[@chickenintherain5172]

Dude I just miss the Toronto this song was written about. No one has Toronto pride anymore.

[@julesthamaster2862]

@@chickenintherain5172 yeah like not much love anymore only the real ones who are loyal to tha 6ix will always have it tho still but other than that the city's not the same no mo tho still smdh 😭

[@julesthamaster2862]

Theirs was actually a remix of that song still for the raptors championship tho and they played at the parade like on the screen of Nathan Philips square so yeah.

[@godfrey216]

he performed during the champion run in half time

[@siggizippan8076]

I love Kardinal Offishal, he was the one of the Toronto Hip-Hop artist who were here before Drake, K-os, The Weeknd. The old guard of hip-hop like Kardinal, Choclair, Wes Fresh and a lot of others who came before him. Toronto has a great history of Rap and Hip Hop artists and we should finally acknowledge them for what they were.

[@AAAAAA79473]

He's the reason why Aubrey Graham is on the map. I always recognize his mark and impact in the city.

[@geoffreyscharbach3349]

Lol. Drake has NOTHING IN KARDI Except a wheelchair and handi pass... FUCK DRAKE

[@bigdog3628]

It was November 18th 2019, when I came home for the first time in over 14 years. Wouldn't you know it, right as The Tower came into view, this song started playing on the radio. What a great welcome home that was.

[@mp035]

That’s legendary

[@soccerman127]

This song was so close to being 4:16 long. Would've been so perfect

[@shayorshayorshayor]

Dude....have u heard drake new album???? It's all abt the 6ix. No one has dedicated a whole album to his city

[@internetwarrior666]

+Faisal Kabir Are you stupid? 30 years before Kardinal existed; there was a band with the name Toronto. /watch?v=-ny-p7AnBL8

[@johnturtle9423]

good point, that means if there was a collaboration remix with GTA-area artists it should be 9:05 in length!

[@djgraph404]

Drake ain't got shit on Kardi. He put Tdot on the map.

[@HurricanezzYT]

Yeah

[@koenswinkels9000]

This is an awesome song. It's to Toronto what Jay-Z's "Empire State of Mind" is to NYC. May also be great to shoot another video for the song, but in summer.

[@Gfpanorama]

Not from T.O but this song was off the chains. How can anyone from the place not swell up with pride listening to this? This has me jumping already.

I travel at least twice a year...and NO ..as someone who's been a resident of Toronto for 21 years, lived in downtown, lived in Rexdale. .- I can say I know the city quite well....AND Toronto women are not even like top 15 cities for me. 1. Toronto girls are rude and cunty I find, always on some attitude. If you want beautiful women, go to Colombia , Trinidad, or Sweden. They're much more pleasant to be around and overall just sexier I find.
