Is Kardinal Offishall Ready For Another Round?
Talk about a trooper… Kardinal Offishall is back for yet another round with the music industry. I don’t know… maybe it’s just me but it seems as though no matter how hard this boy tries, his career always gets the short end of the stick. Could it be because it’s Canadian Hip-Hop with a twist of Reggae? Kardinal is obviously talented, otherwise no one would fuck with him. BUT something still seems to be missing even though he’s finally got those major record label dollars backing him. Which in itself is a huge triumph because usually West Indian artists don’t get the same love as other genres when being pushed to mainstream commercial Hip-Hop’ers.
Kardinal signed to Akon’s label Konvict Muzik back in 2007, and I could’ve sworn that that was what he needed to make an even bigger impact considering who he was working with. Especially since his single “Dangerous” off of the “Not 4 Sale” album had been tearing up the Billboard charts. Not to mention that his videos have the same finished appeal as Sean Paul, Wyclef, or Shaggy… yet he’s still struggling to for a place to call his own in this fickle industry.
Well you can’t keep a West Indian down… Kardinal Offishall is back again and ready for another round with his latest release “We Gon Go”.

The video is actually really good…but the real question is will this song make any noise? Are the 106 & Parker’s going to support him or will it be left to the underground old school heads to show this man some respect? Only time will tell. In the meantime pass me some bun and cheese and let’s see what happens.

This is a hot song… video is on point … I really hope that the new generation gives Kardinal Offishall a chance… he has been out there for so long and now a days that means that tha kidz consider him to be old school. its flashy enough to capture their attention tho…lol
Nice sound,nice message,nice video…especially the fade out mosaic in the end tying everything together. However,in my opinion in order to obtain that… “je ne sais qoui” ,he would have to have that…”feelitnyourbones” beat for this song and a makeover on his image.Kardinal will then finally become officially Offishall!
*correction- je ne sais quoi*
Ok I know I’m mad late with this but here goes, the video is dope and the lyrics is on point.
I would definitely put this joint into rotation on my show cuz it has a tribe vibe to it and props to him for acknowledging them and the other heads he mentioned even frigging Russell Peters got a shout out lol which is cool he mad funny.
The beat could have done a lil bit more reworking as far as the drums to really give it that true tribe vibe (Bob Powers where are you?) but I’m feeling it either way.
