Ladies Lookin' Hot, SCREWFACE kissin teet, reppin' da T-DOT!, June 1, 2001
I find it quite AMUSING when rappers like Lil' Kim and Missy try sing with Jamaican Slang. (They probably need coaching for weeks just to get one phrase :)... but they get an A+ for effort, hehe It was just a matter of time before the hip hop world discovered Reggae and West Indian culture, just like it has assimilated Spanish and Latino, especially with regards to verbal slang. Particularly, the dancehall reggae world must look exotic, rough and menacing to the uninitiated - a perfect candidate for hip hop to squeeze into it's mold GOOD thing Kardinal (a man with a REAL Carribean background) came to set the record straight, and show that the Multicultural T-DOT is the ORIGINATOR of mixing these two worlds without loosing the essence of either.

Kardinal Offishall: Quest For Fire: Vol.1 Firestarter, September 30, 2002
A Kid's Review
Kardinal is Canadian and not afraid to show it unlike some rappers from Canada like Rascalz & Choclair. Kardinal Offishall does'nt try to imatate people like DMX, Nelly, Ja Rule, Redman, P.Diddy, Method Man, Coolio, Tupac R.I.P EXE. You get the point so here's a list of the songs on the album and my rating for each on. ***************************************************************** 1. Intro- Good Intro Solid Backround- 7.5 2. Bakardi Slang- The Smash Hit Single and by far his best- 10.0 3. Mic T.H.U.G.S- Good, But not his best- 6.0 4. Husslin'- Good Song nice beat too- 8.0 5. Ol' Time Killin'- Maybe better than Barkadi Slang- 10.5 6. Money Jane (Remix) Feat. Sean Paul & Jully Black- Good- 9.5 7. Man By Choice- A song about racisiam- 9.0 8. Maxine- OH MS.MAXINE- 7.0 9. U R Ghetto 2002- Good Ol' Ghetto- 8.0 10.Quest for Fire Feat. Solitair- FYAH!!!- 9.5 11.Powerfulll- GREAT!!!- 8.5 12.G Walkin' Feat. Glenn Lewis- It's OK- 6.5 13.Gotta Get It Feat. The Saukrettes- AWSEOME- 9.5 14.On Wid da Show- Pretty Good- 7.5 15.Go Ahead Den- SWEET!!!- 9.5 *****************************************************************As you can see most of my ratings are high and really good coments. So if you don't have this CD then go get.

A Solid Hip-Hop Release By Canada's On Kardinal, May 24, 2001
Tight flows, tight tracks and lyrics....... yeah I'm all for that. Kardinal first was introduced to me on the Tony Touch mix-tape #61 "Comin' Of Da Storm" featuring the track "Mic THUGS" (one of my favorite tracks on the CD). Representing T-D.O.T., Kardinal and Choclair add a new style and twist to the hip-hop game. If this one doesn't hit big on radio, underground should appreciate the realness this CD offers. Sorry, no bling-blinging on this one. For real hip-hop heads only. Favorite tracks: Bakardi Slang, Maxine, Quest For Fire, Powerfull, Go Ahead Den..... cop this CD fast! oNe
