On Sept. 14th, at the Georges Vanier Cultural Center, we celebrated Hip Hop music in Montreal. The community showed up: the pioneers, artists and fans came to attend a live recording of The Bridge. The audience listened, laughed, and applauded guest panelists, Dj Kwite Sane; from 90’s hip hop group Zero Tolerance, Chuck Ice, street dancer and choreographer, Spicey; and emcee, visual artist and barber Mizery. The storytelling was fantastic. The vibe was “straight Hip Hop” as we say! This is the unedited version of the show.
The guests reflected on hip-hop’s cultural impact in Montreal and how it exploded in the 90s — especially in the English-speaking pockets of the city.
