Toronto Hip-Hop Show Etiquette

How to be a Toronto hip-hop fan in 10 easy steps:
10. Show up three hours after the show is supposed to start and you'll be there on time
9. Stand by the wall/bar for all opening acts but turn all the way up for the headliner
8. Clubbing gear is acceptable. Ladies, wear your highest heels, because it only makes sense
7. Twitpic/Instagram every highlight of the show or else you weren't there and it never happened
6. When the artist says, "make some noise" or "put your hands up", don't do it. You are too cool for that
5. Don't pre-roll your spliffs/blunts. Make sure to roll up at the venue so everyone can see how live you are
4. Go Ham for free gear
3. When the DJ spins, spit along to every track you know except Drake's verses
2. Record the show on your phone instead of enjoying it live
1. Keep a permanent screwface. In fact, act like you are having zero fun and hate music altogether.

Or, you can just skip the show altogether and just hit up the after party...

By following these 10 simple steps, you'll be able to fit in at any Toronto hip-hop show!
