The Dude Posted August 16, 2010 sorry stitched up, i love you man, but that was one of the most ignorant things I've heard you say. Hip hop is the truth my brother, it is real! It's just hard to find the good stuff unless you're introduced to it. If you don't know, now you know... hehe I'll hook ya up some beats next time i see ya! incog, there's a few cactus references in aus hiphop too! and yes Hilltops are master poets! also I gotta say every artist has crap, but if there's at least one or two things they make that is absolute 100% the dopeness, i still give em mad props!

Slybacon Posted August 16, 2010 (edited) the culture behind "hip hop" doesnt sit with me to well far to much violence and anger big things can be achieved without having to throw around your animalistic desires I find that the true core of the scene in Australia is fairly ego driven cant speak for Melbs but sydney and Newcastle has alot of ego. I love Hip Hop but the scene turns me off, more something i like to hear when im driving or in the car. The recorded Hip Hop is great. I reckon there would be gigs out there that i would love and be fully able to let go, i just haven't found them yet. Would love to hear some def poetry style with aussie artists...

The Dude Posted August 16, 2010 Hip hop is about ego for sure. It's about building your own persona so you can express yourself. Through your own ego's perspective artistically express the transcendent, what we can all relate to, through poetry I see me in you. If you don't believe that your words are top shit you'll have no confidence in saying them, you won't be able to say them and nobody would hear them, there'd be no self-reflection of the collective, without a strong sense of ego to express this reflection. Through building a strong sense of ego you can actually say something, all great artists have huge ego, they use as a medium to transport you into a 'beyond-ego' or transpersonal world where, "Yea boi! that's a sick line, totally connects with my mind.. it's like you share your mind with mine". Having said that, the ego building aspect that gives the community its' strength and bad ass better than you-ness, is what gives it its' arrogance and lack of self-reflection... which brings on the irony and self reflection, hiphop is as dichotomous as any expression, but to dismiss it all as ego driven would be the same as saying all rock music is bad, cuz most of them are right proper tools. Even dj's think they're top shit a lot of the time. ...anyway back to the hiphop culture, I post this with tongue in cheek cuz there's a lotta tops people in this community fo sho! I know his dad's abusive And his mum prefers the daughter; I know he's got an attention Deficiency disorder; He is culturally excluded And genetically inbred: But the reason he's a homeboy Is because he's a dickhead. Tell me why? Tell me why? Tell me why... he's a homeboy? Tell me why? Tell me why? We all support empowerment And positive discrimination When your class, your race, your age, your face Determine your social station; A baseball cap and a love of rap Might need sympathy - but, still, Possibly a homeboy could be A dickhead pure and simple. Tell me why? Tell me why? Tell me why... he's a homeboy? Tell me why? Tell me why? In The Brothers Karamazov Here's what Dostoyevsky said: "Know your enemy well enough And you will pity them instead" Pity soon will turn to love Is what Jesus Christ once knew. They changed their minds the day when, they met a homeboy crew. Tell me why... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rabaelthazar Posted August 16, 2010 the culture behind "hip hop" doesnt sit with me to well far to much violence and anger big things can be achieved without having to throw around your animalistic desires Yeah, this comment doesn't sit well with me. Violence and animalistic desires are a part of the human experience. It gets projected in all genres of music. Debussy wrote pieces about chicks he wanted to shag, "Jazz", as a word, was originally a synonym for shag Rock is about as ego driven as it could possibly be. Music is an expression of the human condition, and music is great. Some expressions, in all genres, are about violence or sex and some expressions are about the divine. As an example of hip hp with a divine message, try Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

incognito Posted August 17, 2010 theres a really awesome song by horrorshow (aus hip hop i take it? or could be nz hiphop i dunno) its called "the rain" have had a scout on youtube but only a live version (which is shit IMO) if anyone could find the recorded version and link it that would be awesome. there was a recorded version a while ago but seems its been taken down. somethin to do with violaion of terms of use. lyrics: THE RAIN Have you ever had a day that you wanted to erase? Tear the page out the history books and try again But you knew that you couldn't so you put on a brave face and waited till you could make your escape And when you finally got away from the people and the gossip and the judgement in their gaze You let your guard down and something just gave All of a sudden, tears falling till they running down your face Whatever it was, you fought with your friend or your boss, or maybe you got a heart that won't mend Or you struggling with the rent, or missing something you lost Or maybe you're just tired of pretending You feel the weight like a pain in your chest till you strain and you ache and you break and you sob And it's grey till it stops, till it fades Till it's gone like the tears sorta washed it all away Sometimes I like to think it's the same with drops of rain That each one's just a tear falling off of God's face Sitting all alone in the clouds looking down on us all Watching every mistake that was ever made Every bit of pain, every murder, every rape Every person who's having a shitty day Taking it all in till he breaks down and cries Till his eyes dry up and he gets on with it again And I had this very faith tested on an ordinary day I was walking down a busy street around my way I saw a face in the crowd that made my heart skip a beat A man who looked exactly like an older version of me So I moved through the hustle and the bustle of the day to day until me and this man stood face to face We locked eyes and for a moment time moved in slow motion as the crowd around continued on their paper chase I stood frozen in disbelief and opened my mouth to speak But to my surprise the words wouldn't come And then he looks into a clear blue sky up above and say "it's gonna rain", and then it does And as the rain came down like missiles from the sky set on a collision course from the heavens to the ground He's just standing in the middle of it all Unconcerned by the panic and the people running round So I stepped to this man with my hand outstretched Just to offer him some help to get the storm up off his head He took my hand down and we stood getting drenched He looked me in the eyes with a smile, this is what he said Hush child, from the joy to the pain It'll all wash away in the rain Hush child, from the joy to the pain It'll all wash away in the rain So play this song on the days when the rain keeps on and you wait and you pray it'll stop And if you stuck in a storm, then spare a second for the thought that we all at the mercy of the gods So instead of looking for somewhere to place the blame Accept it as a part of that big lazy eight Go outside and stand under the clouds and embrace it as the rain keeps plummeting down And say: Hush child, from the joy to the pain It'll all wash away in the rain Hush child, from the joy to the pain It'll all wash away in the rain Hush child, from the joy to the pain It'll all wash away in the rain Hush child, from the joy to the pain It'll all wash away in the rain From the million dollar brands to the tags on the train It'll all wash away in the rain From the birth to the dirt man, the cradle to the grave It'll all wash away in the rain What's been and gone will come again It'll all wash away in the rain So hush child, from the joy to the pain It'll all wash away in the rain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlackDragon Posted August 17, 2010 Lucky we still have Baz (Dj Debris) from the Hoods. On Saturday night he was in a pretty hardcore car accident. He and 3 other mates were stationary in Baz's car and they got slammed into by a speeding drunk driver while waiting at an intersection. Baz pretty much took most of the hit, broken ankle and other minor injuries. Lucky they were in his big ass Chrysler not some tiny shitbox cause things could have turned out pretty bad... Everyone else was pretty much ok, not sure about the pissed driver that hit them tho! Long live Aussie hip hop!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Deb-One-Amine Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) Incog yes horrorshow is great as well yeah you'd have to be a pirate for a day "Yarrrgh" to find most of there good stuff most aussie hip hop is only obtainable via torrents or net downloads but if you find a main stream artist that sell their albums at Jb hi-fi then buy the cd if you like there stuff... also illy, urthboy and murph n plutonic are wicked Edited August 17, 2010 by The Deb-One-Amine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zen Peddler Posted August 18, 2010 Man permission to be honest??? Dont hate me, but I think aussie hip hop is terrible - poorly produced cheapo corny jazz-loop beats and a bunch of fatish, unshaven bogans singing in overly australian accents about drinking and 'struggle' Its just so unimaginative - i believe that the big acts in Australia are only there because people feel obliged to like it. But they are really pretty poor. At least british hip hop has its own vibe and sound and originality and stuff. The ghettos of Adelaide and Camberwell just arent as authentic.

Rabaelthazar Posted August 18, 2010 The ghettos of Adelaide and Camberwell just arent as authentic. Yep, I spent some time in the Camberwell ghetto as a teenager. Got stuck up by some Grand Damage boys. Took ten bucks from me and then were kind enough to ask me if I had enough money to get home and ended up giving me enough back for tram fare. It was a hard life. I'm from the streets man, the streets! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
