Sounds fishy to me.

He's pretty awesome! excited to see him live.

only thing fishy about Shad is that he's a real catch.
proof is truth: ttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hI5MsTy8C0

Shad is the illest.

Big things from Shad this year. check out one of last years best videos. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sH8SDiPPjoc

this is extremely dope. His set is always fire.

The best Canada has to offer in hip hop... hopefully he'll break through in the US soon, cause our neighbors are missing out

awwww yeah! shadrach.

really hope that the rest of us down here in the USA will listen a little more closely to our brothers and sisters north ... shad is the kind of person we need to be seeing on our TV sets, ipods and radio stations... oh yah, and his music is re-donk-a-donk. bomb. fire!

FINALLY some dope hip hop

Shad is the best thing to come out of Canada and the best thing to happen to hip hop!

this dude is so good. in so many ways:

this nigga can spit

...and he knows where he comes from
Nothing but love for Shadrach Kabango! I loved him when he played London's smallest venue's, and I'll love him even after the Warped Tour.

Amazing musician and person. I'm always trying to spread the word about Shad.

Shad is like the zulu nation, common sense, and a phonte in one.....got a dope vibe. Amazing how there is a distinct fusion in his music

I've been to see Shad in concert twice now. If you want living proof that hip hop isn't dead...i recommend checking him out!

N yeah...to repeat what's already been said...AMERICA NEEDS MORE ARTISTS LIKE THIS!!! BLAOOOOOOO!!!

braaaap! big up the kid! Illest on the mic!

looove Shad K!

GreAt SHOTS.
Dope Article... Major Props...

"Shad blow the Steam that is Positive,
and always keep it clean Like the Cosby Kids.."
B.

Seen him live more times than I can remember and every set brings something fresh and exciting. Alongside K'NAAN, this man is truly the best Canadian hip hop there is. Big ups, Shad!

i saw him last month...he blew the fucking roof off...hes the whackest and the bestest...SO fresh

Shad is changing the game in Canada, and hopefully worldwide.

Hip hop isn't dead, it just moved north for a bit - but we'll share.

He's definitely the next biggest thing to Pamela's DDs!!! Our friendly neighbours just need to realize how great he is!

America's Hat has some decent mcs.

Aint got nuttin on Snow, though...a lickya boom boom down! HAHAHAHAHA!

dope as always. keep it up Shad!

street team go home

He'll be the biggest thing outta Canada until Quebec seperates! big ups, met the dude. Should hear this cat freestyle, haha so jokes.

glad to see you're showing Shad some love, Canada loves him and we're willing to share

Awesome dude, awesome words, awesome tunes, awesome beats. dude is the total package in terms of making a name for canadian hip-hop.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful :)

...and, even though you don't need to make comparisons - if we are gonna do it, then yes, compare Shad to folk like K-OS, and Common, but not Kanye... Kanye is good at performing on stage and producing a track... an Emcee though, he's not. He's a kinda/sorta Rapper in my book. Not dissin, just saying.

So yeah, Shad runs with the best of them ~ those golden tongued Emcees on the M.I.C. !

He also has a wikid, lovely voice as his personal instrument.

Go Shadders, Go TLO :)

a young lovable, huggable, sensible type of guy. who raps. sorry canada, africans are claiming thi sone. rwanda stand up!

Cool! (Don't tell Kanye.)

Shad will be the biggest thing out of Canada until Quebec seperates...

This guy is the real-deal. He needs to be 'found' by the powers-that-be in music in the US of A, and, more importantly, he needs to be heard.

This guy is positive, and more importantly, real.

London, Ontario represent.

Best thing to come out of London Ontario since... probably anything really I'm a huge fan and hope for only the best to come, which is pretty much a guarantee if you like his stuff (which everyone does!) :D

Love Shad!

It brings a new Breeze to the music.

shad is the change and hope we need.....
move over obama...shad's coming to america!!!!!!

Shad is a performer like no other. His smooth but catchy rythms, powerfully implicit lyrics makes him one of a kind. He's brings life to an art form that is, well, dying a slow death.

Worth every minute spent in Vancouver at the Biltmore. A true Canadian gem.

Shadrach is the one dopest M.C around right now, not only does 'The Old Prince' have bangin tunes but his debut 'When this is over' is also amazingly amazing.

shad my man...this guy is the real deal, he is better then your favorite rapper....nawwww ..but he is sick, and canadian...big ups his dj aswell....mad sick

Shad is amazing! Go check him out if you get the chance

Shad's playing CoS' showcase at SXSW on Friday!

I was looking for some great NEW rap when Shad came in with his amazing album, The Old Prince.
And on top of that, he puts on a wicked show with his band.
If you've never heard of him before, he just might be your new favorite.

Shad is absolutley redic.
someone posted that he's better than kanye,
what about jay-z? common? yup. he's better than those too.
I get it, it all sounds so sacreligious...BETTER THAN JAY?! NOO!
but really, but Shad's "the old prince" and youll get it.
or better yet, go see his show.
then tell me whos better

shad is, in my opinion, the best lyricist around today. his songs are fun, honest, challenging, and guaranteed to leave you floored. mad props

Damn son!
Looked this dude upp, shit is madd dope!
Keep killing em son!

what the fuck happened in this thread? i like my BV the old fashioned way, full of jaded negativity!

Shad has renewed my love for Claire Huxtable

Shad is the troof. seriously tho, Shad is one of Canada's best rap exports

Shad is who you would want to be if you wrote rhymes. He might just be the reason hip hop survives Soulja Boy.

Proof of above: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dcCfQy3EvQ

he's the world's greatest

its so obvious that his PR crew and friends are making all these comments. 54+ comments already, no negativity and this wasnt even a post about matt&kim or mgmt. plus hip-hop post never get any real reaction from BV readers.

i'm just sayin'

cause he's that good. the dudes rhymes are so tight, and fresher than anyone else right now. the old prince plays non-stop in my car

I've had the oppertunity to see shad live here in Hamilton and I can say he is easily the most entertaining act I've seen. His lyrics are far deeper then anyone I've heard in the industry.

If you love hip hop then you need to follow this guys music.

And this has nothin to do with PR teams.. this has to do with people actually giving a shit about someone whos not their boy.. Buy the old prince and go see him live. I had the oppertunity to open for him here.. trust me he rocks a building with the best of them.

Trust me this link alone will change your outlook.

Kanye can move the f*ck over, Shad is 10 times the rapper kanye is and is definately more deserving of your attention.

Slim Shady >>>>> Shad

This guy is seriously one of my favorite rappers ever. He's not trying to do anything to flashy, He doesn't swear every 5 seconds on a song, he just makes smooth and amazingly lyrical hip-hop. The hip-hop world needs more shads.

Puts on one of the best live shows - He keeps it simple but makes an impact!

Shad is the man!

awesome awesome dude

get this man's album! you will not be disappointed. lyrical leader in canadian hip hop for sure! keep it going shad!

Shad - keep rocking and repping hard

I've always enjoyed Shad's live show! He always gets the crowd moving! I'm soo glad to be in Toronto, Canada. A place where I can see at least three or four Shad shows a year!

"BIGGEST THING OUTA CANADA SINCE PAMELA'S DOUBLE D'S!!!!"

but seriously this dude is UNREAL, whenever I hear his tunes something inside me wants to freak out and "rock rock to it!" cuz it for sure is heartfelt 'unique music'.

Pure soul, pure genius, pure musician. Canada is bringing it, and Shad'll be running at the forefront of it all before you know it.

HIP-HOP just got a facelift!

Shad's the truth. Can't wait for him to get back in the studio after this tour and get some new stuff out there.

say what you want, but the truth is shad is the kinda of down to earth artist that is always in touch with his always growing fanbase. sure, a PR company can buy a following, but shad has built one organically.

doesn't hurt that he spits straight fire everytime he steps on stage.

and wtf is with all the comparisons? this isn't american idol bitches.

Shad actually is genius, he writes songs about life, from things as deep as the angel who became the devil to brushing his teeth.

you can't COMPARE shad to anyone because he's completely original.

my opinion of hip-hop is forever changed because of Shad, and thats worth something.

Shad Is such an earth shattering MC it can only be described as retardation. BEST IN THE WORLD TODAY, And I will physically fight anyone that says otherwise. FACT: Shad Kills 99.9% of whackness on contact.

Shad kills it every time he performs. Speaks straight from the heart.

PS K'Naan's new album is soo tight. Buy that on iTunes for only 7.99!

Anybody who sleeps on Shad has already slept on real hiphop...it don't get no more professionally defined than Shad grippin' the mic breaking it down line by line...I became a instant fan and if you seek him lyrically so will you

SHAD: an amazing light of hope for hiphop in the midst of a dark dark night.

Been wanting to catch Shad for a while but never knew he was coming to NYC - whens he gonna be back?! Lemme know - Ive been spreading the word about him and'll bring my homies -

There’re a lot of of persons, which look through your superior fact, mereover I offer to purchase the downloadable ringtones and just ringtones download to do yourself unique.
