There acting like it's Shania Twain or something , just a avg CDN band

Like I said it's sad and I give dude props when he's already rich and could just lie in his bed but come on
they weren't average though.

They didn't crossover but they were huge in Canada

:damn: holy shyt, that's one in every 3 people in the country

Hip got it like that? :dwillhuh:
I guess so, I've heard a few of there songs here and there, and some of it is cool.

but I've been looking them up more. they are pretty one of the best selling bands in Canadian history.
every one of their albums went platinum(many multiplatinum, like 7-8x) and they have two diamond albums.

That shyt is pretty crazy if you put it in respect to the fact that they had ZERO American crossover success.

Canada is 87percent white
and?

lol, you think every white person shares the same beliefs, values, taste, style,etc.??

12 million ppl watched that concert. even if they were ALL white ppl....that is 1 third of your total population watching..... 1 in 3 ppl.

if you aren't impressed by that you are just TRYING to be different

for example, the Super Bowl was watched by 114 million americans...or a bout 1 in 3.


this concert was the equivalent of the Super Bowl......the most watched event every year

you do know how ratings work right?
Few people have a Nielsen box and they base it on that.

If you actually think on a summer night 1/3rd of canadians were at home in front of the telly

:heh: They've been talking about this on the radio on my drive to work, every single day for the past two weeks. Their crowds are entirely :mjpls:

Anglos are in mourning at my work over this shyt. Most of the minorities(myself included) and French-Quebecois never even heard of Gord Downie until just recently.

I only know two Tragically Hip songs, not my cup of tea but R.I.P to dude when he eventually passes.

Midwest/East Coast/Tx (Now in Canada)
I'm coming back on the 7th after strange ass events led us to Nova Scotia...had to leave. That place is Canada's Western PA.
Some shyt went down w/ a few brehs I knew y'all might have heard the HOK shyt on the news. I was just at a barbecue w/ them...the whole squad got bagged when I was gone, and I hung w/ them nikkas. I called my homie up and he said it was all bad. I wonder how he remained unscathed :sas2:

@BenevolentGaraad parkdale has 2 bedrooms (metcap) for $1200 a month...1 bedrooms are like 1100...There are a lot of fiends but it's not that big of a deal to me, since I moved here from West Palm Beach, Florida...


pay 1,100 a month to live amongst fiends

or rent a basement apartment in a good area
