I got into this on Tuesday night but let me just reiterate one more time: the cancellation of these two long-running specialty hip hop radio shows (and others, see below…) in Toronto does not augur well for a scene that, after all these years, is finally finding it’s swag, realizing it doesn’t have to look down South to the US for inspirational or validation and, ironically in the process of doing that, finally getting it’s respect & commercial validation in the US market and beyond anyway through acts like Drake, K’naan, Kardinal Offishall, K-os and Shad. So enjoy the greatness of these two pillars of the Toronto underground scene (hopefully not) one last final time and then act like you know:

“Due to the CRTC’s decision to revoke CKLN 88.1′s broadcasting license, many of our affiliate shows like Droppin’ Dimez and Mixtape Massacre have been forced to shut down. The coveted 1-4PM time slot that Mixtape Massacre inherited from us has a tremendous legacy, as it has been home to other pivotal shows like Ron Nelson’s Fantastic Voyage and DJ X’s Powermove that have done a lot for Canadian Hip-Hop. Thanks to Big Jacks, we have the audio of  Mixtape Massacre‘s final show, which includes some fiery mixes, a freestyle cypher by Smash Brovaz, Thrust, 4th Pyramid, Rich Kidd, P R E S S, Tona and Adam Bomb, phone calls from Ron Nelson, K-Os, P-Plus, Citizen Kane and more.  If you are a supporter of community radio, I strongly encourage you to sign the petition on CKLN.FM to keep this station alive.”
