    "Welcome To Atlanta" by Ludacris and JD is a better one for Atlanta, and anything with Cam'rom shouldn't be New York's considering there's a bunch of NY anthems out that don't include Cam'rom.

    My favorite is a Boston anthem called "Home" by Kreators feat. Edo G, Guru, Big Shug, Krumbsnatcha and Akrobatik.

    The only one I think of off the top of my head for Toronto is Meistro's "T.O Party Anthem (416 to the 905)". Chutney, PAP, Locke, help me out.

    The song sucks but I used to enjoy it when I was like 11.

    Also, this is off track but I don't like Kardinal Offishal's music.

    I think Choclair is the best Canadian emcee that I can think of.

    I can't think of any Toronto anthems off the top of my head.

    "Northern Touch" by Rascalz ft. Choclair, Kardinal, Checkmate, and Thrust was kind of a track for Canadian hip-hop, in general, as it came at a time when urban music struggled to get any play up here.

    Bakardi Slang?

    No other T-Dot anthems I can think of besides the already mentioned. I'd have to say that Northern Touch is the best one as well.

    There's a song for Queens by LL Cool J and Prodigy, it's pretty good, although I'm not sure if it's a city anthem or not (judging by LL's verses, it's not), but the chorus is something like:

    "Queens be the best...*gun reloading*...Queens beat the rest"

    Or something like that, I can't remember off the top of my head but the beat was cool, even though that chorus seems hella cheesy when reading it [​IMG]

    I completely forgot about that song. I love that one to, I don't know, I like the pace of California Love, more though.
