As the first \"urban\" artist signed to a major label, the smooth-rhyming MC ended up supporting the weight of the entire Canadian hip-hop scene on his shoulders with the release of 1999's \u003ci\u003eIce Cold\u003c\/i\u003e. It's easy to see why the slickly produced disc established Choclair as the T-Dot's most visible player in both Canada and America. Driven by radio-friendly beats and guest appearances by members of Gang Starr, the Roots, and the Roc-A-Fella family, tracks like \"Let's Ride,\" \"Bare Witness,\" and \"Young Gunz\" are virtually indistinguishable from the fantasy-living thug hip-hop coming out of New York and Atlanta. In a quest for success, Choclair ditched the intelligent rhymes that made him for cheap, puerile, and often offensive softcore porn scenarios that sound a bit rich coming from a former public school teacher from the 'burbs. \u003ci\u003e--Matt Galloway\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 049925015126\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0049925015126\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedVeryGood\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ID Shop.ca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45944172937250,"sku":"PH-DV6C-BRAU","price":11.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0889\/9428\/3554\/files\/412Q9DHEE2L.jpg?v=1783609997","url":"https:\/\/kastor.club\/products\/ice-cold","provider":"Kastor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
