We're the funk leaders, punks you can't beat us
 
There's a song on the J's Hottest 100 - Hilltop Hoods The Nosebleed Section - which apparently came number 9 in the Hottest 100 overall. Now, I'd never heard it till I got the cd. But as soon as I heard it, I loved it. It's a rap song, and it's totally old school. Now I know not many people have respect for Marky Mark, but I do, so when I say this song reminds me of a Marky Mark song, it's a compliment.

So anyway, I got very very obsessed with it. So I thought I'd find out who the dickens these so-called 'Hilltop Hoods' were. I'd just obviously assumed they were from somewhere far away, where good music is made. I thought possibly they were English because of the accents on the song.

And then I read the words 'Australian Hip-hop group.' Call me racist against my own country, but if I'd known that I wouldn't of even listened to the song. Those are words that don't belong together.

This is apparently them:


Though that could also be anyone in the world. There really isn't a lot of info on them. But like a good little independent band, they have mp3s to download on their official site.

Inside the J's sleeve notes, they've pulled random dickheads off the street to give their opinions on the songs. Dean Simpson says of it: "This song is tight! It's got great rhymes and it's cool how The Hilltop Hoods recognise the peeps in the front row" It IS tight. And highly highly bonza. So even though it's put me off slightly that they are Aussie, I'm still going to continue to love this song.
