Alosinae

The Alosinae, or the shads, are a subfamily of fishes in the herring family Clupeidae. The subfamily comprises seven genera worldwide, and about 30 species.

The shads are pelagic (open water) schooling fish, of which many are anadromous or even landlocked. Several species are of commercial importance, e.g. in the genus Alosa (river herrings), Brevoortia (menhadens), and Hilsa.

    Shad (prince)

    Shad (Old Turkic: , šad) was a state office in the early Central Asian Turkic states, roughly equivalent to governor. "Shad" could only be an appointee over a vassal tribe, where he represented interests of the preeminent Kagan. The name of this tribe was included in his title. For example, Tardu-shad could only be a Shad over Tardu tribe. The title carried autonomy in different degrees, and its links with the central authority of kagan varied from economical and political subordination to superficial political deference.

    The position of Shad was traditionally given to the member of a ruling (Ashina) clan. Frequently, Shad was a blood prince, a representative of the next generation. Mahmud Kashgari defined the title Shad as an heir apparent a step above Yabgu. In the early Turkic Turgesh Kaganate, Shad was a ruler of the east wing, and Yabgu was a ruler of the west wing of the state, both directly subordinated to the Kagan. According to Movses Kagankatvatsi, Böri Shad was a 7th-century Western Turkic Khaganate prince and an ishad, or a ruler of a principality, a nephew of Tong Yabgu Kagan, and a son of Moho shad, who may have been a Yabgu of the Khazars. Later, after a split of Western Turkic Kaganate, the splinter western part was headed by Yukuk-shad of the royal Ashina clan, who became a Kagan of the "western surnames", with a throne name Yelbi-Turuk-Kagan.

    Shad (rapper)

    Shadrach Kabango (born July 18, 1982), better known by his stage name Shad or Shad K., is a Canadian alternative hip hop recording artist and broadcaster. He was named as the new host of the CBC Radio One program q in March 2015.

    Early life

    Born in Kenya, of Rwandan parents, Shad was raised in London, Ontario. His mother worked in London as a hospital lab technician; his father as a machinist. He attended the École secondaire Gabriel-Dumont.

    Career

    Debut

    His debut album When This Is Over (2005) was self-made, financed with the $17,500 he won from 91.5 The Beat's Rhythm of the Future talent competition during his time as an undergraduate student at Wilfrid Laurier University. The album was recognized for Shad's self-deprecating lyrics and focus on social causes—for example, the track "I'll Never Understand" examines the Rwandan genocide and includes poetry written by his mother, Bernadette Kabango.

    2007–present

    In 2007, he was signed by Black Box Recordings for a three-album deal and released his second album, The Old Prince. In 2008, The Old Prince received a Juno Award nomination for Rap Recording of the Year, and was nominated for the 2008 Polaris Music Prize. The album was also nominated for two MuchMusic Video Awards. Shad released his third album, TSOL, in 2010. TSOL was nominated for the 2010 Polaris Music Prize, a 2011 MuchMusic Video Award, and won the Juno Award for Rap Recording of the Year at the 2011 Juno Awards. On beating out Canadian compatriot Drake for the Juno, Shad said in an interview: "I did not think for a second that I would win. Not for one second. He's massive. He's massive in the States, he's massive in Canada."

    Wild

    by: Shad

    Yo I aint no hard hustling muscle man loving the curb
    The only time I use a bullet is in Microsoft Word
    Slick talk, you can say I got grease in my speech
    Be rhyming with a fried chicken piece in my teeth
    But now Im more self sufficient
    The food in my shelves and kitchen give myself
    nutrition to help with my health conditions
    And while Ive never been too stable cerebrally radio
    frequency rappers still aint able to equal me
    Plus I link with them, cause the fatter the beats,
    words battering peeps when Im scattering speech
    Like jabs to cheeks, shattering teeth, drop the dagger
    in deep, rattling jeeps with base levels no ladder can
    reach (nice)
    Shad be that freak with that five mic classic
    Still rapping on his street selling tapes out his
    jacket
    No lights and action the places I bust a flow
    The only rap videos I make are instructional
    Trust the full power my verse packs
    They closed the kitchen I worked at when they heard how
    I served cats
    (so are you wild?)
    Like girls gone with Mardi Gras pearls on
    Again and again, Im here to prove the world wrong
    The real deal, Im just trying to keep my wheel still
    Im worth fighting in a box office like Kill Bill
    Chill live freestyling the jam
    Crowds flip cause my rhyme is wilder than Vans
    And my DJs nice on those tables like coasters
    We trying see all the hunnies waving our posters
    But yo they dont dig it I aint trying to be hyped out
    With a mic Im cold lighting the Brian McKnight, rapping
    is done
    Forget the purple rex Im singing backing one in purple
    mecks, turtle necks and khakis son
    No shame, burst your brains with propane
    Its just shad not add-ons or coat names
    Like cocaine money lines, my new rhymes are dope
    I do the thing wild like my name was Tom Mope
    More wild were than the west with Kool Mol Dee
    You know G bringing the sickest drama since the OC
    In a crazy world, meaning Im sane
    And a break from all the nonsense theyre feeding your
    brain,
    While theres Nas and Gen (?) at halftime when this cat
    signs,
    I own a master like tiger and get green like a back
    nine
    And I dont make the cash mine and thats fine
    Id rather live with these up and downs than flat lines
    Still my jam rock the body like kidney stones
    When I pass through, I got more soul/sole than Shaq
    shoe
    I be receiving more paper than a fax do
    For inspiration I draw on people like a tattoo
    Art is regardless of the hardships we face, the world
    aint so cold when your heart is embraced
    So brace to the home where Im resting, peace is a dead
    skin on my couch speaking with brethren
    And spitting punch lines with that stupid smile
    That got your crew saying hi like juvenile
    If Im on your radio then dont you move the dial,
    Just snap your neck to the music like you knew it was
