I rememeber watching that music show with Monika Deol on CityTv and Dream Warriors were performing live from a rooftop in Jane & Finch and they yelled to the corwd: "When I say Jane, You say Finch"! It was a proud Canadian moment cause at that time the world didn't really see 'us' as a hip-hop force yet and I give these guys props for being proud and help us to get on the map. All'dem: Maestro, Dream Warriors - and even Kish:can anybody tell me what happened to him?

are you crazy? still a ton of underground hip-hop, even guys like Shad are starting to hit the mainstream.

Canadian hiphop hit its peak in the 1990s

i remember they use to plat this on marrs fm in los angeles back in the early 90's

That explains the early-90's tackiness. God, we all thought we were so sophisticated back then. Ugh. I did love the Cell, which was flawed but not Tarsem's fault.

Their last album came out in 2002 (in Canada only), but King Lou performed this last year at Manifesto, in downtown Toronto. The video is up on YouTube.

Thanx for the history lesson , That has given us an insight on how this vid came about whichIn my op pinion isn't a bad job saying it was shot on a shoestring . If that is the case then BRAVO! The vid and tune marry together probably better than the original vid ?

Tarsem, the director, heard the track on the radio and called the label, wanting to direct the video. He was told it was too late; they already had one. But he was passionate and convinced them to let him shoot another one anyway!The shoot was on a shoestring budget, a labor of love, with everyone working for little, or free. Many of the cast and crew are successful and well-known today.
