Print Ad for the Mel & D Show on Flow 93.5 in Toronto

Spotted this in the Metro newspaper today:

This isn’t that original in terms of the creative but considering in my mind the wack-ass ads they were running when I first moved back to Toronto last summer, by comparison, this is a huge improvement, believe me! I don’t listen to the show and this ad doesn’t make me want to either, I just thought it looked cool and wanted to acknowledge that Flow was at least trying to promote their product still. Fact is, I stopped listening to hip hop morning radio, even in NY, right around the time they sh-t canned the ‘Ed Lover and Dr. Dre Show’ on Hot 97. I’m more of an NPR man myself if I turn anything on nowadays….

Throwback Music: Mathematik – Strive On

From the Ecology album. This is over ten years old (from 1999 to be exact) but I only heard it for the first time when I just happened to turn on ‘The Real Frequency’ radio show on Flow 93.5 for a hot second last night. FIYA!

One thing I’m bummed about sometimes is the fact that I’m not up on a lot of the hip hop from Toronto that came out while I lived in NYC from ’92-’09!

Throwback Video: Original Opening Segment from the First Ever Episode of MuchMusic’s Rap City (1989)

If you grew up loving hip hop in the 80’s and 90’s in Canada, you know this only too well. Michael Williams was kinda corny but he was all we had as far as an ongoing hip hop presence on TV so respect still due!
