The TTC, Now in a Hip Hop Video

what the... LOL "pocket fulla celery, when i get off at bellamy"

So bad and so good.

This is going to be stuck in my head every time I wait for the bus!!! (which is often...thanks for nothing Avenue Bus!!)

Sorry, Spadina Bus beat them to it at least a decade ago:

I get off at every station.

This is probably by far one of the greatest rap videos of all time.

Give these Men a Metropass!

that's awesome,
i get on the ttc
7b bathurst
west side

Its lyrically great, they exactly replicated lyrical structure and style from Young Jeezy and Kanye in the original "Put On" video however it works so well and is quite entertaining thumbs up :)

My favourite part? The dude who just says "worrrrd"

I second the motion to buy this song and air it on the video screen in stations. It would make people laugh guaranteed.

LOVE IT

This is awesome! Gotta respect the TTC.

I wasn't familiar with <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x67tto_young-jeezy-feat-kanye-west-put-on_music";>the original</a>, but I think that this version works extremely well in at least two ways.

If you haven't seen the "Put On" video, "Get On" reads as an accessible and light-hearted ode to public transit ("The TTC can be a drag, other times it's super-great"), in the tradition of Spadina Bus.

If you have seen the original, you can see that this also functions as a parody. "Put On" interrupts its solemn images of poverty and social injustice with chesty, strutting models; "Get On" says "It's obvious you're checking out her boobs." Young Jeezy cruises the city in his massive convertible and talks about the gun club; these guys can't stay on a bike and boast about their Metropasses.

I'm not claiming that "Put On" is playing it completely straight and sincerely either -- a "put on," after all, is a pretense -- but with "Get On" the deliberate ironies are easier to catch. Also, they rhyme bus routes. That's got to win them points for difficulty.

Amazing. Just... amazing.

Does anyone know who these guys are? This is great -- so clever.

don't forget
Walk left, Stand right by Abdominal
