big up, big up

yea you'd never hear a canadian calling in to a radio show saying "i'd like to give a shout out to my boy.... big up snakey!"

excuse me? yes you would! *I* say that. my friends say that. my brother says that. his friends say that.

but yeah, not a canadian. *you're different*, miss.

well am i not canadian?

yeah but you're trini too.

so? canadians come in all colours, shapes and sizes.

yeah but *canadians* wouldn't say that.

what *kind* of canadians? cus i say that...

well...*SOME* canadians wouldnt say that.

do you mean *some* canadians who might live in smaller towns that are not urban and have not yet been exposed to music or culture that uses "big up" or "shout outs", and might possibly be older and therefore not interested in using those phrases at all?

...well...yeah.... but you're getting *too* specific miss.

well you can't overgeneralize. canadians arent just one big stereotype.

but its *fun* to generalize.

yeah well that's the same as saying all white boys are the same. and you are quite clearly very different people. you're not even the same as some white canadian people. so.

...yeah...well...true...
