Editorial Reviews

2006 release from this Australian Hip Hop outfit. Hilltop Hoods have been performing live and writing Hip Hop music for over ten years. On the stage, Hilltop Hoods consisting of MC's Suffa, Pressure and DJ Debris, bring their music alive with their warm-blooded rhymes and electric stage presence Their trademark combination of Jazz influenced beats, solid lyrics, tight flows and a localized viewpoint is why so many people are taking about Hilltop Hoods and why they won't be labeled up-and-coming for much longer. Obese.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real Hip-Hop, January 20, 2006

Cojiro "Dan" (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Calling (Audio CD)

With hip-hop being one of my favorite genres I get sick of all the annoying sex oriented thug garbage that American radio stations play non-stop, which is always giving hip-hop a bad name. Fortunatley, there are artists out there like MF Doom, Del Tha Funky Homosapien, Gorillaz, Danger Mouse, and the Hilltop Hoods that show how hip-hop is just as much a form of music as any other genre is.

The Hoods' music is jazzy, soulful, and it's quick and witty lyrics flow beautifully. The Hilltop Hoods easily put to shame any mainstream rapper in the states. This group has hardly any recognition in the over here, which is unfortunate since they're truly amazing. Definatley check these guys out if you like hip-hop, or maybe even give them a try if you aren't a fan of the genre. A most excellent album indeed.

5.0 out of 5 stars undoubtably!, May 15, 2004

kasey barkle "he-man" (SYDNEY.... in da HOOOOOOOD!) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Calling (Audio CD)

it may not be the very best australian has EVER put out, but this is undoubtably the most professional, well produced CD in australian hip hop to date... Darn crap, wish they had sound samples, this would jump 100,000 sales positions!

This cd is overly fat, dope, straight up hip hop without the jargon...

hilltop hood and they comin' up!
