I've only heard Money Jane and Husslin, so I guess I can't give him a fair score.

I like his unique stylee, so I'll wait for the next album to judge.

BAKARDI SLANG

excuse me!

one year passes...
The MCA website says the album came out June 17, 2003. Uh no it didn't.

Does anybody have any news on this? Does MCA even exist anymore?

In December, I saw him open for De La Soul in Edmonton, AB and halfway through the first song, he jumps off stage, knocks over a lighting tower in the process, that lands on a girl and breaks her arm.

About his music, I've heard like 6 songs from 12 inches he's put out, plus he's on that Glenn Lewis song that's blowing up. He's overrated in the Canadian scene, I think.

tracer be lovin him some kardi!

strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 27 March 2004 20:16 (twenty years ago) link

i really love him too, but if he doesn't break out in america soon, i'm going to stop caring.

strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 27 March 2004 20:16 (twenty years ago) link

like, "bellydancer" would have been a lot cooler if i could hear it on the radio, rather than just an mp3. also they could maybe play it instead of "dirt off your shoulder" 900x per day.

strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 27 March 2004 20:17 (twenty years ago) link

I kept on hearing on intros and background bits on radio (it was also on the Ego Trip thing) but yeah I never heard it as a single.

Anything else worth really hearing besides "Bellydancer"?

BAKARDI SLANG

strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 27 March 2004 21:57 (twenty years ago) link

his verse on the "grindin" remix is teh hotness

strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Saturday, 27 March 2004 21:57 (twenty years ago) link

I love that remix!

s1ocki loves it, too. cos it reps Toronto.

@d@ml (nordicskilla), Saturday, 27 March 2004 22:40 (twenty years ago) link

it would be cooler if it repped montreal tho!

s1ocki (slutsky), Saturday, 27 March 2004 22:51 (twenty years ago) link

yes it would

@d@ml (nordicskilla), Saturday, 27 March 2004 22:52 (twenty years ago) link

quest for fire is kind of boring but i like a few songs on it a lot and i'd like him to try again. he's been producing, i think, and remixing jay-z albums and touring and doing a few guest spots but he should have been able to fit in a follow-up album in the last four years.

William Wiggins, Sunday, 28 March 2004 00:08 (twenty years ago) link

If you can find the Firestarter mixtape then get it ASAP!

Sterling Clover (s_clover), Sunday, 28 March 2004 05:55 (twenty years ago) link

i bought 'quest for fire' on tracer's recommendation and was, yes, a little bored.

m., Sunday, 28 March 2004 09:25 (twenty years ago) link

he's also pretty good on that song with Texas

OCP (OCP), Sunday, 28 March 2004 15:16 (twenty years ago) link

argh I hate that song. I think he's dropping off. But DAMN NAMD NDMA MAND strongo's right I do love me some kardi. Firestarter vol. 1 is still killing in my house.

firestarter mix tape??? please explicate and designate! do bullet holes in the map lead a trail to where it's at?

Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 5 April 2004 14:09 (twenty years ago) link

eh, STERLING LOVCAR??

Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Monday, 5 April 2004 16:41 (twenty years ago) link

also pretty good on Ching Chong, but nothing amazing (compared to say...the Spragga cut.)

OCP (OCP), Tuesday, 6 April 2004 01:14 (twenty years ago) link

Yeah but how can you compete with the Spragga cut?!? It's awesome!!!

"Set It Off" with the Clolpse. Hot stuff. Weird to see dude finally blowing up in the US. I need to track down "Old Time Killin'" and "Bakardi Slang", forgot how much I liked Kardi.

The Reverend, Tuesday, 29 July 2008 03:49 (sixteen years ago) link

The Akon joint is cool too.

The Reverend, Tuesday, 29 July 2008 03:53 (sixteen years ago) link

before this id only heard his verse on the grindin selector rmx and his verse is a classic

dangerous is whatever but set it off is hot even though neither push or malice really go in (but do they ever anymore?)

"Bakardi Slang"

The Reverend, Tuesday, 29 July 2008 04:04 (sixteen years ago) link

also belly dancer from when the neptunes were good

t_g, Tuesday, 29 July 2008 13:58 (sixteen years ago) link

I'm kinda of disappointed with that Dangerous song (I feel Akon is finally wearing out his welcome on the radio, or he's writing shittier hooks) but I'm happy he made it. I hope he gets more airplay because of that soon - he needed a club/radio song to break out.

Hard to believe something this good never really got released.

A lot of this is surprisingly good. T-Pain and Akon don't drag it down at all. A great pop record.
