I feel like that's more a Drake sound than a regional Toronto sound tho.

When you listen to Not Like Us you think that's a west coast song, when you listen to a Project Pat song you think that's a southern song, when you listen to Illmatic you think that's a East coast sound, I don't see anybody listen to Bryson Tiller and say damn that's some Toronto s***, they might say there's a lot of Drake influence in his music but that's a personal sound not a regional one.

Both are very international cities so that could explain it

this convo always never works because 99% of people dont even realize how many Caribbeans are in toronto

like their biggest rapper before drake was kardinal offishall bro

also this ain’t really true at all tbh. as i said in another thread 40 and drake literally invented the 2010’s toronto sound. although he seems to coming more from a “heritage” sound type thing which i suppose is understandable idk if toronto has anything like g funk for example. when i think toronto i think of them or niggas like safe etc

It’s time to get these old men media members out of hip hop talks

Old men rappers don’t speak this f***in much

Apple gotta show us who Ebros market is cause I can’t f***in think of any percentage of people who would wanna hear this geezer gossip

I feel like most mainstream rappers evolve past their "regional sound".

Like wayne not making nola music like that besides a song or two every project.

Most Kendrick songs not LA/regional either.

Most mainstream rappers have different sounds thats part of what makes them freat especially modern era.

Mask Off, Hillbillies, Loyalty, DNA, Big Shot. All The Stars, Mona Lisa, Silent Hill, Like That are all very different sounds.

Kendrick's accent sounds like someone from Compton on all those songs

hmm 🤔

100% agree,

How are you the most dominate artist in your country for so long and don’t have a single sound associated with you or you helped foster from others?

A coloniser, manipulator fake and fraud

Scam artist

I'm confused as to what the "Toronto sound" is. Because everything listed ITT just feels like cauldron of other places sounds

Nigga do you want smoke from me?

You right

WhyG cant rap for s*** but it still f***ing goes

Toronto doesn't have a sound it's just people copying bits and pieces from other cities or rapping with that high pitched accent

lmaoooooooooooo

Give it time

Toronto definitely has a sound, the 2015-2017 sound was everywhere

If you don't think you certainly did listen enough lol

White Iverson and Antidote are straight Toronto sound

key word: inspired

we are all capable of reading comprehension here lets not pretend please

where did i say those artists didnt lay the foundation for the Toronto sound?

its obvious they did, "No Long Talk" literally sounds like a Smoke Dawg song lol

i didn't say he invented it, i just said its his regional sound

Good thing nobody ever screamed “I was running through the 6 with my woes”
