Urthboy
I’d like to open this post with the statement that I’ve had a few drinks tonight.
With that in mind, bear with me.
I just got home from Urthboy’s Melbourne gig. He’s on tour, raising a bit of hype for his upcoming album, Smokey’s Haunt.
Please, excuse the dramatism, but this was the best hip hop gig I’ve ever been to. I saw Hilltop last weekend,...

Drinking From The Sun
I tend to get a little verbose when I write about hip hop, so consider this both an apology and a disclaimer; my bias on this topic is something I will readily admit to. This is never more apparent then when I talk about The Hilltop Hoods, the band who some would say jumpstarted Australian Hip Hop into the national consciousness with their classic ‘Nosebleed Section’, back in 2003.
It was this...

If
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream -...

I might not be the coolest
I might not be the flyest
The toughest
The most likely to succeed
I’m definitely not the best.
But there will never be another footprint on the surface of the earth
Quite the same as mine.
And thats the only claim that I’m walking out of here with.

The fact that I’m a fuck up I can’t fight,
But I can’t even seem to fuck up right.

And I got sold on the concept of a life without stress
But it’s the hardest thing to find and I aint close enough yet
Its real, I can taste it and I’m gonna keep trying
Like Jobsy said, gotta live your life like you’re dying.
So I’m gonna take this opportunity to just say what I think
It’s an expression of self, like the tattoos and the ink.

Aussie Hip Hop is not bogan. If you doubt me, fuck you. Rap is what gets me through the good days and bad. If your a hater, just listen to ‘Celapram’ by Horrorshow. Some lyrics are worth listening to.

Modern Day Poets
I’m reposting this, because my current hip hop obsession is continually being questioned, and I’m sick of arguing the point. From now on I just link to this.
I was recently ambushed at work by a colleague while listening to some Aussie hip hop. He wandered in to the same room as me and proceeded to abuse my choice of music.
To be honest I was a little speechless. Not only because of...

All I’ve got is lyrics, and all I need is rhymes,
Guess the trick to this shit is taking it one line at a time.
