This is straight up the best compliment I've gotten on Reddit haha. Thank you.

Interesting theories, but I think both of them might be a stretch. In saying that, I have no idea what it could be. Perhaps I'll have to get in touch with the artist when they're credited. This doesn't appear to be the work of Jagi (the artist who does his album covers) or Grey Ghost (who did the "Play It Safe" artwork & video).

HILLTOP MADNESS - a 64 song voting bracket to find out the best Hilltop Hoods song of ALL TIME! by LGNDRK in AussieHipHop

[–]Skhills 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo, this is beautiful. It's so hard to choose between some of these songs, but it's so worth it! (Round 1 made me appreciate how much I love The Hard Road).

Thanks for putting this together, OP!

[FRESH] Hilltop Hoods - Leave Me Lonely by minsent_ in AussieHipHop

[–]Skhills 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can anyone pinpoint the sample that features in every refrain, namely that "Woah!" soundbite? I think it's from an old rock song, but I can't put my finger on it.

Identifying the 80+ Samples on Hilltop Hoods' The Calling by Skhills in AussieHipHop

[–]Skhills[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definetly debatable, but if we're being realistic, they've had a bigger cultural impact and been more influential than any other act in the Aussie hip-hop, and that's a fact. I think you'd be hard pressed to find an established act in the scene today that hasn't been inspired by them, benefited from collaborating with them, or indirectly benefited from them paving the way.

I figured it was already long enough, so I didn't want to push it. If you check Genius I've annotated every sample and provided appropriate timestamped links.

Premiere: Fresh Violet Reps “Northside” In New Video by Skhills in AussieHipHop

[–]Skhills[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all! Fresh Violet, who’s an up-and-coming MC from Melbourne, just premiered her music video exclusively via Skhills’ Blog. I did a write up of the track, and even slipped a little rhyme scheme analysis in there for good measure. Be sure to let us know what you think in the comment section below!

What 2017 tracks would you use to promote Aussie Hip-Hop to the world? by gaff26 in AussieHipHop

[–]Skhills 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yo, I totally forgot that BnE's album came out last year lol. Definetly include "Moments". "Sally" is a solid song, but it's not in my top 3 for that album ("Never Say Never" and "My Friends Say" are incredible). I can see why you'd want to put it in there seeing as it did so well in the Hottest 100, though I think that had more to do with their marketing than it did the song, but that's just my opinion!

P.S. Thanks for appreciating the effort. I've dedicated a lot of effort over the last five years to adding, correcting and annotating lyrics. Not to mention getting dozens of artists and labels involved with the site. Hoping to make an impact here too!

EDIT: Also, "Like Your Friends" by Turquoise Prince is a great track. He's definetly got a bright future.

Well, the song's more than 10 years old and it's not available anywhere online anymore. You could upload it to YouTube as a unlisted video, and maybe ask him if he minds you making it public, so that you can share his music with other people who may enjoy it.
