The Thuggz @ System Soundbar
 
I remember back then a few ppl would complain about the THUGZ at System, I’ve just found this info out and would like to share with you all. These hip hop kids have been in the scene for a VERY long time and most of them are very well educated with the music. They started with the club Space back in 97. In that time era house music was massive in the rave scene. It was the time when Bad Boy Bill ruled Toronto for many years, drawing 10,000s by himself. It was the time when Hippie and Halo from the Peace Division and Terry Mullen, and of course when DJ Dan was touring constantly with Dose and Syrous. I’ve talked to a few of them and realize they are just like many old skoolers, out to party, out for the music and value member of our positive scene. Yes, sometimes they might look intimidating and etc to some of you, but think about it, I get labeled just like them a few times. “You’re into Trance and Prog?” “Your work with us on Sat not Fri at the Guvernment?” Living in Toronto, fashion evoles ppl, that’s how it is living in big city like this for a long time. One of my favorite raver from back in the days, him and I skooled many ppl when we battled or teamed up to battle. Now, this party friend of mine dresses like a gino, but I still chill with him and etc at parties. Ppl look at us and judge right away, what an odd combo of friends, but don’t even realize the history of our many years of partying and experience we have.
Once Bang shutdown, these hip hop kids continue their love for System by attending the hybrid night of Breathe and Bang on Friday nights. You might see them around still at Sonic or of course the CZ. Next time you see them, ya don’t assume or treatment them in any different from anyone else. Because, they are very nice ppl and really down to earth. Trust me on this, just say hi and found out yourself. If you want to compare yourself with them, ya dunno …. You’ve already lost. They have been in the scene for many years, and will school you in the genre of house music and many aspect of our scene.
When I was young, I never thought about the saying “never judge a book by its cover” until I met one of my exgf’s parents. That experience alone have made me realize “if they don’t like you by the way you look, too bad. They are going to miss out on someone and something special.
Sincerely
