I DEMAND AUSSIE RAP

if you seriously want the ol' aussie accent rap try matty b's the courageous lp on obese. there's a track called "a beer with dazza" which bites the classic Slim Dusty tune, and certainly mentions picking up sheilas down the pub.

Diggas make their releases at home, and the rare vinyl tends to come out muddy. JIGZAW JEFF is a great guy in his 30`s who makes clever mixtapes on his own, but upsets the other RESIN DOGS who can't see their record company having KRS-1 samples cleared. Everyone likes the Resin Dogs, including the late Joe Strummer (paths crossed at the Big Day Out). Girls dance at their shows, ex-rugby guys with meaty necks and check shirts grip beers and nod their heads. Ferals dig it too. Good look, great drummer (check also 2 DOGS, or for that matter REGURGITATOR).

Digga shit, like its only slightly more ludicrous trans-Pacific counterpart, Nip Hop, was born to be comical. Exponents are either consciously or unconsciously so.

Unlike Japanese Wa-do-shu-mis-u, however, Diggas have been not been allowed to adopt weighty gold jewellery (unless their family held some interest in a kebab shop) or the bandanna-under-cap affectation. Likewise, film clipz featuring doe-eyed Aussie bitches in fishnets, skirts and Ghetto-Fabulous-Polyester-Flamingo-Feather crop tops riding alongside our Digga heroes in Holden Statesmen are ruefully absent. No sexual braggadoccio, no limber aspiring Roppongi strippers gyrating their arses or tracing O's in the air with their fashionably trimmed centres of gravity...

Jiggas 1, Diggas 0.

But "Bloke" has been used occasionally with relish as a rhyming word, as has "Fuckin' Oath" to great effect. When the US navy comes to town the happy young Yanks tend to get their cliches bashed up in radio freestyle battles, but they're generally otherwise riding in a Holden Statesman knee deep in some girl named Natarsha who herself harbours wistful hopes of a melanoma-less future for her child, whom she just might christen Lonsey, or Desree. Seamen of the States have learned to avoid provoking conflict with Vietnamese ex-pats in nightclubs, especially when a number of said ex-pats sport knives like Mick Dundee to tragic effect. Metal detectors in clubs everywhere now.

FATTY BOOMSTIX (of COOLISM), from Canberra and of unclear racial origin (maybe Samoan), is fluid and witty. Very listenable, very bedroom.

One of the guys in PNEUMONIC ASCENT (Mexicans, I believe) has a voice to which a travel agent I once knew flicked off; she's now in Mongolia, but they're still in Melbourne.

BRAD STRUT (Mexican)has a farkin Aussie twang if you ever heard one, a turn of phrase, and is consciously comical, but unfortunately monotone as fark...(I'm from a place/ where people show no pity/ a straight face/ welcome to Melbourne city/ I'll make ya chicky rub her clitty like her name Was Mimi/ MacPherson in person catch me slurpin' on a tinny).

BIAS B (Mexican)is more nasal then Dennis from "Meet the Feebles", plus he lisps a bit. Wears the similarly Feeble Hip Hop Traditionalist badge. Skills and respect and all that. Good name, but.

DECIPHER have the distinction of being the only Digga crew with no less than 4 useless Journalism degrees, and 2 members whose lungs have collapsed. They always smoked the best weed, and enjoyed a wholesome reputation as Blokes you wouldn't mind having around even if they were shagging your sista (as long as you got to shag theirs').

2D is the best and most versatile beat producer in 'Stralia.

RAMAN, the offspring of cranky Hippy parents, is hilariously serious yet strings flows together nicely....(Please chill/ and integrate my mental state's perspective/ I'm effective with the breath 'cause I check kids/ who ain't up to scratch and can't match the skills I hatch/ and if ya think ya can let's do this/ I'm servin' balls like Phillopousis/ 'cause suckers saying "yo, who's this?"/ Dude with creative juices/the loosest/mc ta let ya melon elevate/ and if ya can't relate feel free to evacuate the premises/ of the poem when I deliver this I'm flowin' like a lunar eclipse/and leavin' mc's in my shadow 'cause ya had no depth or consciousness/and ya words 're monotonous/synonomous with wackness/the fact is/ that stagnation's separation from the essence of myself/ and wealth is understanding that I have no limits/though i'm explicit with the vivid vocab from the spirit/ya know it when ya hear it/ the lyrics as opposed to the gimmicks/that come and go like periods/I don't take the shit too serious...) I don't really believe that closing line but it sounds good. Ramse sorely lacks the Bitches in Statesmen necessary to spicing up his image.

DNO, one of the RESIN DOGS' longtime rappers, is the 'Strine Eminem.

Another longtime RESIN DOGS' rapper LAZY GREY (w. cohort Len One) is arguably the best 'Strine rapper ever...seems to like Mobb Deep(the hash-pot eaters/gourmet prawns/banana fritters/seafood barbecues and Vic Bitters/it sounda lovely/a dozen gone in a hurry/six-packs get cracked like skulls in rugby).

There's a guy with curly hair from Adelaide who sounds like a cross between Black Thought and Old Dirty Bastard (astonishingly, though, not on hard drugs).

PROWLA sounded good too.

Digga shit may well deserve a look in from overseas punters but that remains incidental to Digga's primary task of convincing their own music buying public their musical endeavours are worth paying money for.

Going by what JJJ has been playing recently, I demand much less aussie rap.

well, if you must listen to jjj...

btw if anyone actually, really wants some aussie rap you can write to me

Any ya'll mother fuckers heard Mollonex? I got a tune JunkieToSoldier.mp3, crazy shit, fuckn up drug addicts. I love it me bro is a fucking junkie anyway it fucking rocks. Aussie rap is definatley getting better. Anyone got any more of his mp3 email me please!! I can't find shit on google.. All these forums noone helping me!

1200 techniques suck really badly

Trip VanJangle's post is a little masterpiece isn't it.

TZU are okay. Better live than on record though.

i just heard the maya jupiter record and...uh...my colleague started singing macarena along with the first track and then i was fcked.

thats not aussie rap.

download "Bias B - Hursty"

u can get it off kazaa.

that is good aussie rap

Does the rapping kangaroo from that lame-ass movie count?

hey, Two Dee here. Dno pointed this thread out to me and I am flattered that someone thinks I'm a good producer!
I am surprised that people know of our limited run "demo" tape, I don't even have one myself. It was done on a 4-track and I did the beats as MOD files (8 bit, 4 tracks, 360K max!).

We also have a lot more recent Decipher tracks with Rainman (who's now in Sydney) which we are itchin to release. And I've just finished my solo album (not purely hiphop) and I am producing DNO's atm too. And Raman and myself recently had a track on Hempilation which I like- "In the clutch" :)

If any good rappers want to collaborate (or nick one of my beats) please let me know. I am especially interested in any political "REAL" raps. Expose the truth!

the only and one Two Dee...BOTU....DC...RTV

Here's something good I heard recently - The Hoong & I featuring The Radical Son. Click on full mp3 of 'Wicked' for starters and check out some of the other tracks below it too.

I worked on a techno record with The Hoong aka HJ Kim years ago. One time I remember him saying as he listened to a part I had just put into the sequencer, in his lazy cat voice, 'that's funky...but I prefer it extremely funky...'

someone needs to mention urthboy, so, urthboy

The Layla record should be real good, looking forward to that.

Has anyone checked out the Bliss & Eso record? I only have the mixtape and its hit and miss, the two tracks I do like don't seem to be on the album either?

(I was going to make a Falco joke, but he's AUSTRIA, duh.)

you still have a voice.com e-mail address?

Curse Ov Dialect

i met one of those guys a couple of months ago. very nice chap. we chatted about hood and late 60s folk

new hilltop hoods record debuted at #1 on the chart last week. could be wrong but I don't recall any other oz-rap topping the chart before this. (except that beatboxer who was on australian idol, maybe.)

yeah i was gonna mention that too. that's quite an historical moment.

I just gave that new 'Hoods record a first listen tonite.

I've always found them to be consistent without ever doing anything really spectacular, and this album seems like more of the same. Nothing really jumped out at me much - the posse cut with Funkoars etc sounded good at least.

There's this new MC called "Slim Dusty" on the scene. He's tight, he keeps it down, yo. Check out his shit like 'Tha Crackhizzle With No Crack Pipes'.

And if yo niggaz think I know shit, dis gangsta (me) grew up in tha same hood as tha Hilltop Hoods. O'HALLORAN HILL 4 LIFE NIGZ!!!

Yes, it's that Chopper.

wait, necro?

chopper has a myspace?!?!

Yes.

i can't think of anything i'd like to hear less than aussie rap

we'll send chopper around, I think you'd like him a good deal less.

Will you tell that to Chopper, boychild, or shall I?

Haha x-post

why are all aussie psychos called chopper?

it's just the one. he's very effective at what he does though.
