I live an hour north of Toronto and we have a more general Canadian accent, no Jamaican influence. It's nowhere near as stereotypical as an Alberta accent. It's like the most general American accent you'd find in most of the Midwest, Northeast, etc. shifted ever so slightly towards the more stereotypical accent you'd find in Alberta

guys sound like there's an uptalk before a pause, and another one before the end of a sentence that started in 2000's. Higher pitched tone and faster, like early teens, lacking some bass rumble. But I'm no expert

The majority of Black Canadians are like 2nd generation Jamaican or other Caribbean countries so when they brought the slang with them Toronto slang is basically patios forreal

I only heard of accents being made fun of today, and I spend a lot of time on social media. After watching this video, I am even more confused. This just sounds like people speaking with a Jamaican accent, which most people joke about in a playful/happy way. Yah mon! Anyway, I am glad to learn more.

The new-age Toronto accent you see on tiktok is not an actual Toronto accent. Most people don't speak like that. It's just the undereducated & lowlife gen z's who use that accent. It's just them trying to copy the way rappers speak.

Caribbean community brought it, African community influenced it, Canadian culture embraced it and other communities mixed into it from all corners of the earth that lived in those communities. The Toronto accent used to be healthy until social media warped it and turned it into a caricature of itself. With random suburban kids from Yukon to Ohio now influencing pop culture and recreating it into a nasally rat sound the original essence has been killed on a PR level. Little do they know the real "accent" is still alive and healthy in our communities. 💫

I grew up in Detroit so crossing the bridge to Canada to drink at 19 was the norm. I met a young rapper that eventually came to my studio to record and taught me the subtle differences in the dialect influences in Toronto. He now goes by Tory Lanez.

Damn, the level of ignorance in our community is alarming. My brothas need to put down the weed, the liquor and the negative music and get a job and speak life. Our problem in the hip hop/black/caribean/african community is that our music culture is bringing us down. Still love this video showing history but damn man, it be our own community keeping us down. Poverty breeds poverty so it starts at our parents and their views on life and their motivation which gets passed down to us and so forth. Once I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Saviour and took responsibility for my life, everything fell in place. Get that job, pay your bills, stay with you wife, raise your children. All this other noise is static. God bless!

@@okeykid780okea9 Once again you're speaking on shit that you're not knowledgeable on whatsoever. No one's saying that Hip Hop and black culture in America didn't have big influence on the rest of the world but at the same we still have our own shit that is exclusively Canadian. You need to know the different between INFLUENCE and COPY. Influence involves being influenced or stimulated by someone or something to create something new and original. It can involve taking elements or ideas from another source and using them as a starting point for your own work. Copying, on the other hand, involves directly replicating or imitating someone else's work without adding originality or creativity. Inspiration respects the original work and builds upon it, while copying disregards the originality and creativity of the source. I don't know why you keep bringing up the 2006 clip like that means anything, when all he was doing was just giving his definition of a gang... Canada and the US literally share a border & are one of the closest allies in the world (crime and gangs included), I don't know why you kids, think it's impossible for Bloods & Crip sets to be active out here, it's not that hard to believe. A lot of US Blood n Crip members fled to Toronto and started their own sets, so it's not necessarily copying if US Bloods and Crips came to Toronto. And also you Americans always just wanna make everything about yourselves. Self centered kids. Canada made the blueprint in inventing the telephone and the light bulb... Canada had a DIRECT HAND in Baseball, Basketball, Football and Hockey existing. Canada Goose, Moose Knuckle, Mackage etc. have all been made in Canada so it goes both ways. And food should not be mentioned either, because we're the most multicultural city in the world, our food comes from EVERYWHERE. Caribbean and African food is HUGE here, so don't mention food. And finally, our slang literally comes from the Caribbean and Africa due to Toronto having a heavy population of them, we've literally been trending on social media because of how different we talk compared to Black Americans, we've been had our own thing as you an see in the video. So don't try and bring up slang🤣 Educate yourself before you try and speak on my country.

Seeing this video is incredible as it puts to bed a lot of the misinformation regarding the origin of the accent and shows it was a natural development similar to what happened with the African influence on Portuguese from formerly enslaved Black people in 17 and 18th century Portugal. Another thing that I love to see documented is the mobilization of the state (police) against the black population in Canada but also specifically Toronto which is often denied even though it's documented in the stories from those that lived in Blackhurst (Bathurst and Bloor), Eglinton West and other early black neighbourhoods in the city. The stories of Andrew Evans, Sophia Cooks, Lester Donaldson, Marlon Neil, Andrew Loku and many others all speak to this long history of targeting black folks in this city. SO many that push mythology about Canada's liberal history could not tell you who one of those names are, or where Africville was, or why there is a black woman on their 10 dollar bill they bought a double double with. Thos same people will bob their head to a song with a bassline but deny relevant history and claim to be an ally or that their black adjacent because they used to sag their pants as a teenager. Documentation is how the lies are dispelled. Great compilation. You really did something with this.
