The Frenzy was a groundbreaking show in Toronto radio because it was fresh and different. It filled a void by daring to be original, playing a genre of music that had, to that point, been neglected. When The Frenzy first started in the mid-90s, it was a huge step forward for freestyle in Canada. If it wasn't for the Frenzy, artists like Elissa, Joee, Chris & Alexia Phillips, etc would never have gotten the exposure they needed to break out. Simply put, the Canadian freestyle scene would not exist were it not for this groundbreaking show!

But then something happened. It's like those episodes of "Behind The Music" where the artist becomes too popular for their own good, and begins to go on a downward spiral. The Canadian freestyle scene, and the Frenzy specifically, fell into a familiar formula which caused the show and the music to stagnate and become repetitive and boring. Eventually, the show became nothing more than a 60 minute commercial for whatever the latest Tony Monaco CD was that was being pushed.

The Freestyle Frenzy became succesful because it dared to be different. It died becuse it refused to change.
