The Hilltop Hoods are the face of Australian hip-hop. Hailing from Adelaide, South Australia, the supergroup consist of MCs Suffa & Pressure and DJ Debri. Their name originates from a part of Adelaide known by all local B-Boys (someone who identifies with the hip-hop culture (consisting of MCing, Breaking (break dancing) and graffing (graffiti)) as the Hilltop, where they were born and raised. Another local rapper, Flak, from the group Cross Bred Mongrels, recommended ‘Hilltop Hoods’ and the name stayed. Suffa & Pressure were in the same homeroom at Blackwood High School, in the early nineties. At first they despised each other; ‘We were in home room together and didn’t like each other one bit. Pressure had a busted locker, and every morning I’d piss myself More...

It's a play on words because someone with a foot in their mouth can't put the foot in their stomach. So can't stomach the feet(or feat). stomach defeat just doesn't sound right... oman = fat | Reviewer: mitch ------ About the song Stopping All Stations Restrung performed by Hilltop Hoods Quote Oman: "The new one has a horribly unpathotic response cause we idolise some old guy and neglect the kid." Were you even thinking when you said that? We idolise the old man becuase he's a hard-done-by war veteran who risked his life to fight for our country, and we neglect the kid becuase he regularly steals wallets and purses so he can buy drugs - he even hit a woman. To me that justifies their stances towards the characters. back up | Reviewer: anoymous ------ About the song Recapturing The Vibe performed by Hilltop Hoods Whoa whoa! Who said anything about a stance on prostitution? A free thinking persons choice of income is their own business. Forgive me for being pedantic (and I really appreciate your response on the previous post) but the problem is the attitude of being able to 'pimp women like I do words' it suggests that another human being is an object without autonomy, that they mean nothing more than the words spilled out (which pressure concedes he does with skill) Maybe I feel it a little close to home because of circumstance, but I like to think that if I ever had a sister she would be the kind of person to give a stiff middle finger to anyone that suggested she was 'there to be pimped.' And to anyone that decided words should be smushed in together because they fit – never mind the real meaning of them. 'What I says and what I means is two very differn't things' – the BFG. Still love the energy of the song. Peace out! American fag | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About artist/band Hilltop Hoods Aye to the american faggot, uz dickheads will never get how it goes ova here m8. If therez a fight we fight if therez shit to do we do it, apart from that we fuckin relax my son. Smoke up an relax to this shit hero. Anyhow we Australian an ur a yank, da hilltops are aussie so fuck ya opinion MATE Agree with Smithy | Reviewer: paksta ------ About the song Recapturing The Vibe performed by Hilltop Hoods "This song has supurb energy.. but every time I hear the last line of the first verse I feel a sense of shame...fix your attitude towards women guys." I agree with Smithy on this one, you're reading too much into it. They're not supporting prostitution, they're just making an analogy about how awesome they are at spitting lyrics and if they were so good at illegal sh*t, they'd be really rich by now. Just like when Fall Out Boy compares themselves to arms merchants in the song 'This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race', they're not necessarily making a statement that they support the illegal arms trade. Artists just like metaphors. Anyway, apart from this whole issue, the song clearly rocks! Go Hillatoppas! Dont take it personel | Reviewer: Smithy ------ About the song Recapturing The Vibe performed by Hilltop Hoods Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/23/09 Shame about the fact that sometimes you have can't ignore a small part of the bigger peice in order to enjoy the whole. This song has supurb energy and is excellent to run to, but every time I hear the last line of the first verse I feel a sense of shame for even a casual compliance. An artist is responsible for the views and reflections they produce,especially the hilltop hoods whom have arguably one of the strongest influences upon young, modern Australians. There is no compromise, fix your attitude towards women guys. Reply: They wouldn't have meant anything by that lol just an example of how to make good money..and it fits in so well..so dont take it personaly vent | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Recapturing The Vibe performed by Hilltop Hoods Shame about the fact that sometimes you have can't ignore a small part of the bigger peice in order to enjoy the whole.

Want rhymes to get me through a break up, bitch! that bit there is suppose to be ... Write rhymes to get me through a break up, bitch! theres some more in there that dont sound rite but i cannot make the correction at this time. overal great song! Took a while | Reviewer: Colin ------ About the song Stopping all Stations performed by Hilltop Hoods It took me a few time listening to this song to get the lyrics, when i first heard it i loved the song in general. but the feeling and meaning behind this song is amazing. and thanks to 'wow' for putting that up. i only just made those connections throughout the song, cheers mate. hilltop hoods are dope | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About artist/band Hilltop Hoods for the guy below me...most people in aus dont see guns and shit everyday, which is why people in aus like this music. i dont think hardcore really means you shuld have to rap about guns anyway, like some rappers, mainly from the straights, rap mostly abotu guns and violence but there reaps are pretty shit, one dimensional, and boring. everytime i listen to a hilltop hoods track a i get really into the music and lyrics and if you pay attention you will see they are pretty fucking talented, despite whether or not they make the same bullshit raps about guns and violence everyone else does. They represent a truthful honest view of life and in a cool way, thats why they are good. and it jsut fuckin sounds great. my artwork | Reviewer: shaun ------ About the song Stopping All Stations Restrung performed by Hilltop Hoods tbh, i created an artwork for school, i did very well on this. With a huge interest in hip hop, this song influenced me in my artwork. I created something that addressed issues in the song. The third verse is very good. Suffa's message of the song was different, but he really tried to establish that the idea of the song went beyond just these 3 people and that this is happening across the globe. I can really relate to this song and the words in the song because I have witnessed robberies. And it has been for like $50, and people have ended up having to be hospitalised. And Oman, you should really look at the last few lines by Suffa, He's talking about the behaviour of people in this world.. Oman nothing failed, you purely failed to see the message in the Restrung version. It is one like situation, a common situation, that was expressed through one man's perspectives based on his grandpa, that's how Pressure came up with the idea for the song. And after he did that, and they restrung it, Suffa gave his evaluation of Pressure's track and made his own opinions based on the situation they were talking about. I chose suffa's verse, and it was perfect for my artwork. and Oman, i'll finish with "World That's So Ugly" ... As if that doesn't sum up all of the issues in the song? The issues Pressure talk about are terrible, and the way in which Suffa expands on Pressures views, conveys this sense, well idea that these things are happening today, and have happened in the past, and that it is a common problem in this world, and the fact that a lot of this just happens and nothing is exactly done about it... Like the fact it can continue to go on, I know it's hard to monitor and all, but just people killing people for like $2, that's crazy. Those things create this ugly world we live in. are you serious? | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About artist/band Hilltop Hoods lol, are u serious? hilltops hoods by far are whack, i mean look, fair enough they tryna do their thang der own way, but listen, they dont have much to rap about, they dont see guns ev'day, so if a rapper from tha states rap about whats goin around em, y'all say its not real hip-hop. Australia needs to knowledge their are better rappers right now, inside Australia rather then hilltop hoods! they need to stop braggin on about how they real, they aint, they just some punks that are just writing rhymes, not being realistic with whats goin on around tha world. i mean look at the hardroad track he is complainin about droppin outta school to work, some people cant even go to school, whats so hard about that? lol, hilltop hoods need to stop gettin over dem selfs, im a rapper, i know im way and i mean way better, and im not white by tha way, sorry to disappoint, peace Awesome anaylsis | Reviewer: John ------ About the song Stopping all Stations performed by Hilltop Hoods What do you think the song is about? - (does it tell a narrative? is it descriptive?) Stopping All Stations is written as a narrative song about people who catch the train each day by themselves; it follows their journeys on the train and their lives. The first person that you are introduced to is an old man who fought in two wars and is blind. When another lady boards the train he is reminded by his old wife whom passed away. The second individual is a young boy who has lived a hard life, he approaches the old man and puts a knife to his heart. The final person is a poor single mother who is finding life hard; she has a number of unfortunate events happen to her that day. Towards the end of the song, the young boy attacks a girl, but quickly the sweeps the assailant off of his feet. Throughout the song there is a lot of describing and everything which occurs is shown in a descriptive way. What is/are the theme(s)? - (issues and ideas the song deals with eg: lost love) The themes which intensify throughout the song are; crimes and the way that life can be extremely hard, no matter how much you have achieved. This is shown because the old man is a war veteran, but he still has trouble dealing with his wives death and also the young boy who is approaching people with a knife. Persona – who is telling the story of the song? Through whose eyes do we see the characters/events of the song unfold? The song is told by a man who views what everyone on the train deals with. He retells everyone problems, for example when he is confronted with a knife he says “Approach the old timer and put a knife to his heart” The HOW of the song Mood – what is the dominant mood or emotion of the song? Does the mood change? The mood of this song is serious, bitter and forceful because they are telling a story about an extremely serious issue, of a man getting stabbed. The mood is consistent throughout the song, although it does change in parts of the song, when there is happiness; this is when the bully is stopped. Tone – what do you think is the lyricist’s (songwriters) attitude towards the subject of the song and its audience? The songwriter is recounting how he sees events on the train. He feels that the terrible behavior of the young children robbing old men is terrible. He wants to tell the truth, and definitely does not stop; he says what he sees and does not mind. Language – do you think the words well chosen and vivid? What phrases stand out for you? The words are mostly simple but sometimes it is complicated, there is a lot of descriptive language for instance “She starts fainting, the rooms moving and seeing stars” every line is full of descriptive language, which helps to tell the story. The words are definitely well chosen, every line tells a new story or another part of someone’s life. The line which stands out is “Caught up in the age of computer chips and satellites” this is when they are describing the old man, he has been in two wars, and believes that the children are not the same anymore.

I have been looking for a long time, and I can't find any trace of the song. fully sick | Reviewer: b- B o i/ ------ About the song Recapturing The Vibe performed by Hilltop Hoods oi . hilltop hood's come to qld rockhampton and play at the pilbeam theartre..!!!!! cum'on please/./.... ive been listne to your music for year. i no ever word to ever song that you have made... dont dog won of your bestest fans come play.. i agree with all you guy's to Thank god aussies can rap..........great song | Reviewer: Gabo ------ About the song The Nosebleed Section performed by Hilltop Hoods Thank god aussies can rap! the issue is the australian accent, it takes time to start to like it, and it's even harder to like it when there is nothing outstanding about the lyrics or music. If you listen to french hip hop it's sounds great even though you have no idea what they are saying, but the voice is an instrument and french is a very smooth language and it works.
