Here’s the new visuals from Kardinal’s Mr. International single. How wack is it that this guy has been doing his thing for years, only to see Drake rise like it was nothing? And where the hell is Choclair while we’re at it?

Didn’t 50 cent take Kardinal on on tour … no picture huh ? nice visuals other wise though !
Didn’t 50 cent take Kardinal on tour overseas ? Not pictured though ? – Otherwise nice visuals for the video.
*hope this wasn’t posted 2wice*
@ Meka
I wouldn’t say it was wack at all. The reason Drake had such a paved road to his acension, is because guys like K-os and Kardinal paved the way. Happens all the time.
lmao he didnt pave any way…being a good rapper isnt enough, drake can sing and has more appeal..degrassi pave the way for drake not this guy barely anyone knows(barely knows compared to drake)
Drake had the Young Money/Lil Wayne machine to help him peak peoples interest in him. Kardi had Bacardi Slang…I fucks w/ Kardi tho, he’s last CD was ok by me
shit, didn’t know Meka knew his Toronto rappers
but yeah, Kardi, Choclair, Saukrates and k-os need more shine
Riiiight, lets compare two artists that came out a decade apart from each other.. And the fact that one came out pre-internet and the other post… why should that even matter? (smh) If only rap fans were as intelligent with their critiques as sport fans… but wait… alot of rap fans ARE sports fans…
I’ve been bumpin this for 2 months in the gym. Serious track for real…the reason Drake shot up so high cause he appeals to skinny jeans, little girls, and wanna be wayners. Straight up, you can’t deny that. Kardinal did his thing on Caltroit, his first album was dope, Mr International gonna be crazy with Jake One, Just Blaze, Dready, Timbaland…possiblly even a DRE cut.
More shade for no apparent reason. Startin to sound like a broad with each post made. Kardinal is dope and has been for a long time. What bearing does that have on Drake’s success or failure?
It’s amazing how many solid tracks both Kardi and Sauks have had to produce and/or rap on and yet get so little shine. K-OS has been one of the best rappers in the game the last several years too, and yet doesn’t have close to the fan base he should
does suck that Sauks and Chocs haven’t done much together the last few years
im probably bias buz im from t.o. but i fully co-sign Meka. Kardinall and that whole black jays/the circle movement wus runnin toronto hip hop. And to ppl that r sayin kardi didnt pave way for drake, the only reason drake wus bein considered legit as a rapper was kardi givin him a co-sign way bak… its wak cuz kardi’s good, and it looked like he wus gonna blow up wit dangerous/signin to Akon…
We’ll see wut happens tho. and ya, where the FLUK is choclair? lol

any serious rappers that are looking to purchase industry beats go to soundclick.com/ellceeproductions
lol at Meka crying yet again.
The drake faggot should not be where he is right now that’s all I gotta say, buncha BS!
People are going to say all day everyday that someone paved the way for the other when it comes to their industry. I think people would be STUPID to think that Wayne’s camp didn’t help Drake reach the level he’s at now.
Society as a whole is fucked up to allow people like Drake to rise to the top and not this cat. But also, money talks… There are way more kids buying CD’s and going to shows filling Amphitheatres and Super Domes than deep rooted hip hop heads. If most niggas would flex their power and show that this cat over the next (Drake) is more influential, then the tides would shift.
Until then… Shut the fuck up, sit back and go with the flow or simply do something about it.
Kardi’s The Boss In T.O., Black Jays The Fam, Fuck Drake, That Nigga Not Welcome In The Dot. Real Talk, Keep His Non Rhyme Writin Ass The Fuck in Memphis, Y’all Can Have Him.
not welcome in the dot
rofl.
‘the dot’ is too hood for hollywood.
i’m glad he shouted out to dizzie rascal in this song
uk all day
Nike gave a shoe to dizzie thats U.K
all day with a semtex replay
westwood in the hood, 279
google these n*gga’s, international prime time.
kardi was already one of my favs but shouts to the uk, thats sum hot shit rite ther
kardi is dope!
DRAKE made it thanks to his acting. If Drake never was in Degrassi lol he wouldnt have made it out Toronto. REAL TALK im from canada
Kardinall is not as lyrically dope as Drake and this is coming from a guy who’s not really that big of a fan of Drake. Also, Kardinall isn’t doing anything special to stand out. His mixtapes, if any, are just mixtapes. but So Far Gone was seriously album-worthy. ANd Kardi just sounds like a clearer version of Sean Paul. Fucking accent make people not hear him as good.
HOOOOLD UP!
lmao he didnt pave any way…being a good rapper isnt enough, drake can sing and has more appeal..degrassi pave the way for drake not this guy barely anyone knows(barely knows compared to drake)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Uh first of all let’s not take it to lyrics cause Drake is NOT lyrically iller than Kardi second who barely knows Kardi? Are you nuts? Kardi was reppin Tdot waaaayyy before anyone else man (Check Bakardi Slang) Damn man how old are ya’ll like 14? I refuse to debate this with cats who haven’t even listened to any of money’s albums. Fuckin accent? Obviously your music range is limited
Kardinal is far from the nicest emcee in Canada or even Toronto for that matter, being an ambassador for Canadian hip-hop doesn’t make him worthy of crossing over into the U.S. And when he did have a chance to make some noise, he put out an enjoyable, yet forgettable album.
So Far Gone>>>any Kardinal album, fact.
If you’re going to whine, at least defend a much more talented artist like k-os or K’naan.
k-os and k’naan are both good but kardinal is somethin else
i dont kno why u dont rate him, u like that drake commercial shit ye or that real lyrically superior, writes his own lyrics, flows better artist like kardi, get ur shit rite
Ol’ Time Killin’ is my shit and Kardi is usually dope, but his last album was more a club/pop CD than hip-hop. He fucked up the buzz he got wit Dangerous with that weak shit all on his own.
just cus he been reppin toronto for a long time doesnt mean anyone knows who he is.. dood is far from known.
@SMH if u had any actually real life friends you could do a survey and see that compared to drake barely any1 knows who kardi is….shouldnt even have to survey, common sense should tell you barely any1 outside internet or canada wknows who he is…
shit be in on the internet heavy and i only know him cus of the way he says his name. and he was on that cross the line song with rock ross and akon, i love that joint
BLACK JAYS! On the real tho, Choclair needs to be back like yesterday! Saukrates and the Rascalz too…CANADA BABY BAYBAY!
LOL @ Near, Kardinal can’t fuck with K’naan or k-os.
this track is straight boring & the video looks like they made it on the shit that comes wit the macs. are all these shout outs sposed to show me why i shouId know Kardi’s name? soo sad. cuz I know Kardi’s name for a long time still. but I can’t cosign recent movements. i feel like he don’t have the explosive confidence from before & his whole style, even the patois, toned down these days. but the old shit?? was hype. Any one got Eye & I? from the old days!! meantime Kill Bloodclot Bill and Canadian Coke were nice. Kardi and Drake are 2 different breeds. Drake is like grown in a test tube for hollywood while Kardi grew inna t dot soil. Kardi dont have all the punchlines like Drake but he def truer t dot. nuff respect due to Kardi still.
Dope-ness.
