Organized Rhyme

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Organized Rhyme was a short-lived Canadian hip-hop group based in Ottawa, renowned primarily for the fame later achieved by one of its members, comedian Tom Green.

Organized Rhyme's musical formula focused on three principal facets: catchy beats, simplistic choruses, and clever rhymes. The formula proved itself to be profitable: the group's first single, "Check the O.R.," was nominated for a Juno Award in 1993 for Best Rap Recording, but lost to "Keep It Slammin'" by Devon.

The group promptly disbanded. Its record label has been blamed for its death due to its wanting them to drop the comedic element of their music. However, the members' inability to uphold positive relations among themselves has been another supposed reason for the breakup of the hip-hop group.^{[citation needed]}

A dance remix of "Check the O.R." was released in 2000. The original music video for "Check the O.R." was included with Green's 2005 rap album, Prepare for Impact.
