Hilltop Hoods - State of the Art

[Fandango]

Enjoyin it so far... love hilltops. Havn't heard much so far tho. Anyone else listenin to it?

[Shaun]

Never been a huge hip hop fan but i decided to try this album after i kept hearing the song Chase That Feeling on an AFL add, quite like it for something different, listening to it now actually, track 11 is good

[Vilante]

I'm not into the American stuff but I loves the Aussie stuff

[pixelboy]

Its awesome.. Im off to see them on Saturday

[nutty]

Im a massive aus hip hop fan, Admittedly the hoods got me into Auship hop. I really do love the new album, but overall they are quite overrated.

Sooo many better artists around

[Dan]

Does anyone remember listening to Hilltop hoods on MP3.com?

[pixelboy]

I agree nutty, they are good... But Herd, Hermitude & Urthboy are the kings! Long life Elephant Tracks..

[DexterPunk]

rap/hip hop is bad enough, let alone with an aussie accent.. fuckin horrible shit.

[pixelboy]

your gunna get banned for trolling soon dex!

[DexterPunk]

Its not trolling when its an honest difference of opinion. I felt i had to post for all the rap haters out there, since everyone else was just posting about how good they are.

Quite happy for you or anyone else to like what ever. But im allowed to have my say too. Or is this the 'lets praise aussie rap thread, no neg comments allowed' ?

[pixelboy]

Have you listened to the album in question?

[DexterPunk]

honestly, i cant see any reason why i would have to, i dont like song they keep putting on OneHD, and i don't like australian rap...

[nutty]

Why? Ive always been a closest hiphop fan.. But I dont want to hear about people rapping about hoes and money.. Ozhip hop has great rhythmic beats and the subject matter is on the lighter side generally (drinking with mates, going to the fish and chip shop ect..)

[DexterPunk]

To me, it just sounds horrible. Im not someone who really gets off on a good beat. I like a ripping guitar riff. I don't like the sound of rapping either, regardless of the music behind it.

How dare you! I will no longer read any of your posts.

Nah, you're entitled to your opinion. Personally I love it. The album, The Hilltop Hoods and Aussie Hip Hop. I love the aussie accent and think we have already developed a culture that has 10x the substance of the American Brand. MC Pressure is without doubt the best rapper in history in my opinion, his flows are awesome and subject matter has meaning that any Australian can relate to and it's all intelligently put together with bundles of humour thrown in.

Top album. Top Shapes. Phat Beats.

[Hz-Lab]

they got all but fuck all on the Yobbos, that's all i'll say.

Have you listened to any oz hiphop? I mean your whole basis for the new hoods album is a 30second grab on OneHD (which is mangled up by them anyway).

I mean I dont mind if you dislike it, but it sounds like you havnt even given any of it a chance.

Checkout Hoods/Pegz/Bliss n Eso/Vents1/Funkoars/Pez/Chasm/The Herd/Astronomy Class ect.. ect.. some fucking fine stuff comming out of Australia

[Hz-Lab]

or if you want something that aint just a fashion trend, check out the fuglemen. doing it way before the hoods, anyone that followed the Aussie BMX scene in the late 90's should know who they are from the Volatile Visions videos.

I have listened to whats played on Syn when its played... honestly, i dont like ANY of it, its not gunna change, i just dont like any of that kind of stuff. Im very set in my ways these days, ive done my experimenting in my younger years, and even got into a bit of wu-tang for a while.. but these days i just dont bother with that kind of stuff, because theres 0% chance i will like it.. Rock n Roll gives me chills... its just the way im wired.... whether it be Punk, Rock, Punk Rock, Alternative or the occasional Metal.. thats pretty much all i'll bother with anymore. Closed minded? maybe.. but i know what i like now, and i stick to it. Rap has little to no affect on me what-so-ever. Infact, if i was inclined to listen to rap, it would be American... i find the fact that aussies with our unique accent are even trying to rap quite laughable... and slightly pathetic. As i said, i have nothing agaisnt anyone else listening to it, but thats my opinion. Im quite closed minded in my music tastes these days, its probably not one of my stronger points... but i think its because i feel so damn passionate about what i love.

See, that's just plain insulting. Why do you feel this way? Aussie rappers aren't trying to sound like Americans. If we rapped about poppin caps and cruizin in our hummers while jazzy jeff and the fresh prince get jiggy with it, then I would find that laughable and pathetic.

I find your ignorance laughable and pathetic.

I don't even hear an accent anymore and atleast you can understand what the fuck we are saying unlike 50cent's mumbling sack of crap excuse for rap. Yeah I made a rhyme and I'm Australian. Deal with it.



/end baited rant

[DexterPunk]

I find your ignorance laughable and pathetic.

k, now thats just getting personal... i was having a go at some music i dont like.... not you. I think thats a bit harsh dude.

No baiting there, its my opinion.

[Enforcer-J]

I understand that you don't like it, but you are suggesting that Aussie Rap isn't a worthy form of music / art / expression and I find that very ignorant. Probably a bit harsh though I apologise for being personal I was trying to make a point more so than insult you.

[DexterPunk]

of course its a worthy form of expression... i just dont like it. Surrealism is also a worthy form of expression, but paintings in general do little for me, let alone surrealism.

im fairly sure more people would hate my music than what would like aussie rap these days... Its just the way the world works, people have different opinions.. and the old saying is true, would be a boring world if everyone liked/agreed on everything. I do apologise for my bluntness, its just me, i say what i feel and im an opinionated person... some people i guess don't like that, but i reckon theres worse traits.. I generally tell it like i see it, and at least people know where they stand with me.

[nutty]

Thats fine, but dont call somthing "fuckin horrible shit" when you have basically no experence with it
