1200 Techniques - 'Karma'

[@kipnorris33]

This joint still blowing my speakers up at the end of 2023. Classic.

[@DerekWhite-yx2ce]

Nice

[@stewartwilson3766]

This song randomly popped in my head! I haven’t listened to it since it was on rage! Hope these guys are still around

[@DerekWhite-yx2ce]

Supposedly Heath Ledger was part of this

[@hiropon2985]

Just happened to me, sending it to all the homies asking where they remember it from

[@mandatoryfun_]

and me

[@BuddyBradley1985]

They haven’t made an album in 20 years

[@paulstevens9006]

Still a great tune all these years later....what a song!

[@DerekWhite-yx2ce]

And it makes sense

[@DerekWhite-yx2ce]

Thank you for being here

[@jbeck4188]

I remember buying this single.. Such a weapon. Still listening years and years later!

[@roadtonowherefilms]

This deserves more plays, it's a classic in the Oz hip-hop genre.

[@DerekWhite-yx2ce]

Damn right

[@DerekWhite-yx2ce]

Rumors are Heath helped with the video...

[@brazed420]

watching rage the chosen ones vol 1 dvd as a kid and having this song pop in my head just now bought me here

[@Vain737]

Reminds me of Triple J back in the early 2000s with a radio and a tape, listening to Rosie Beaton.

[@aussieozzysmoothchillrasta4598]

bagrada1 yoyo..maya jupiter on monday nights..shiwing my age but i useto tape that on actaual cassette tapes..still got boxes of em..i should upload em..peace

[@thomaspaulson3018]

And Paul McDermott and Mikey Robbins doing the JJJ breakfast show ...

[@timking2931]

Fu@k yes back when triple jjj played good shit and not just hipster crap🤟

[@KayAteChef]

I never did marry Rosie.

[@juanitaroxy5032]

Aussie hip hop was always wonderful, I love Scribe too

[@claytongoode5715]

One of the best live acts I ever had the pleasure to watch

[@K0beFan8TwoFour]

Just met the guy at school for my English class. What a legend

[@dpunk2243]

[@thefantasyreview8709]

[@krispynachos9980]

Went for walk around Fitzroy today and saw the 1200 Techniques street art, bloody awesome that is!

[@Ohkeh640]

This song will live forever.

[@melm4251]

[@DerekWhite-yx2ce]

Great music never leaves it's message

[@damienpattel3081]

Old school. Loved hearing it again

[@jasonchesson1709]

Damn, this still goes hard. Why can't Aussie hip hop reach this point again?

[@connectablemidgets]

This song and film clip are awesome... how does this not have more views...

[@lemonadelotion]

Omg I love this song. & he even said my home city brisbane baby

[@ilackedtheheart]

I remember when I found this on Digg (anyone remember that site) around when this was first posted to KZbin. This shit still bangs all these years later!

[@urbanwahine]

I remember seeing these guys at BDO on the same stage as Jet, what an awesome year that was! Love this song :-)

[@learningwithharry4996]

Blast from the past. Love it. Thank you.

[@sammystones]

[@leonardwells6324]

remembering in 2022. Still fire!

[@GhettoPharmacist]

Used to love this, back in the day, still do!

[@DerekWhite-yx2ce]

Ningen ISU is cool, but this is genius

[@derekwhite9932]

The song that could fix 2020!

[@joeymills1]

Needs so many more views this song is the sickest!!!

[@Wanderingacrossoceans]

Best Aussie hip hop song ever

[@derekwhite9932]

Why doesn't this have more views, thank you Heath Ledger.

[@okamifan1productions458]

Heath didn't direct this, thats a myth, someone else in his company did.

[@DerekWhite-yx2ce]

@@okamifan1productions458 interesting, well he did direct King Rat by Modest Mouse, thanks for replying.

[@mr.coffee8019]

Back when Aussie rap actually sounded good.

[@thesammyjenkinsexperience4996]

Aussie rap has never sounded good.

[@RobDarkhalf]

@@thesammyjenkinsexperience4996 This does!

[@OfARisenFall]

@@thesammyjenkinsexperience4996 Admittedly, besides 1200 Techniques in this album... I completely agree, we're trash and just think we can adopt the culture like everything else from the USA, and we butcher it like everything else imported, too. But there was something about this one in particular that worked.

[@AfferbeckBeats]

@@OfARisenFall Imagine writing off an entire nations' contibution to a culture then being like 'yeah but this one popular radio song was alright though'. Absolute wanker take. I bet you think all that 'butchering imported US culture' shit doesn't apply to rock music though...

[@OfARisenFall]

@@AfferbeckBeats Album* not song. And yeah it does apply to rock music as well. I prefer listening to old school hip hop that had the meaning behind it, talking about the struggles of living, the society and daily challenges they faced. You know, the poetic side of it. Like Respiration by Mos Def. That's why I liked this first album of 1200 Techniques. Each to their own anyway, man. But the point still stands that pretty much every form of media we have these days is an attempt to convert from others, but we never pull it off. 99% of the public just think "oi, this shit sounds good, let's do it too".

[@WARHOUND1011]

nah man i was listening to this in 2004 and it had been around for a while back then.

[@danielpettit4814]

This was directed by Michael Gracey - Director of The Greatest Showman

[@okamifan1productions458]

THANK YOU! People out here keep spreading the heath leger myth... Heath directed some of N'fa's solo work, not any 1200 Techniques stuff.

[@derekwhite9932]

This needs more views!

[@SamuelLeung83]

Shit day in the office so cranked this out loud to everyone.. Day is better now.

[@bensobie5195]

gotta love heath ledger's directing

[@derekwhite9932]

Thank you! I wasn't sure if it was The Stage by Avenge Seven Full, or something else, it was Heath.

[@okamifan1productions458]

This wasn't Heath, it was one of his associates, Heath only directed some vids for NFA's solo career.

[@okamifan1productions458]

before his passing.

[@bensobie5195]

@@okamifan1productions458 oh thanks. you know if he directed the video for king rat?

[Intro: N'fa] Karma What goes around comes around right? (Right) How you treat people is how they treat you back Disrespect them or knock them They're gonna slap you back (Yeah) Sometimes it hurts and that's Bad karma, watch out for it [Chorus: N'fa] How am I supposed to live in a world of negatives? How am I supposed to love in a world full of push and shove? How am I supposed to breathe in a world full of lust and greed? Well, I guess I'll have to live day to day And pray to God that'll I'll be okay-ay-ay [Verse 1: N'fa] These fat raps think they fit like they the Iron Man I got the iron tongue and the iron hand, I'll make the final stand The final showdowns come round and hit ya As I throw down my gauntlet to switch the picture If ya look in the mirror, you're bound to get a reflection Like with every action, there is a reaction With your dodgy actions, you're causing negative drama And if you know God's law, you best watch for karma Now I'mma bomb ya, running your traps like tacks You think you're floating on the cream, you and your rat pack Well I'm take that, thought back, now let's dwell How I should lock you like jail cells so we can exhale I'm a bull and you's a matador, I'm seeing red, you outta sorts I'm a target like darts boards, you floating in space like astronauts I started off last but now I'm first While you're shaking, I cut off like umbilicals at birth [Chorus: N'fa] How am I supposed to live in a world of negatives? How am I supposed to love in a world full of push and shove? How am I supposed to breathe in a world full of lust and greed? Well, I guess I'll have to live day to day And pray to God that'll I'll be okay-ay-ay [Verse 2: N'fa] I look around the city and it's all such a pity Everybody trying to be pretty, don't care for nitty gritty I look around the block, nobody's playing hopscotch They're to busy on the internet surfing that rock Just converse kind of rude, like "So what you trying to prove, mate?" I say, "Nothing, I'm just tryna build the feeling, not live like you" I got plans to take this city up to Senate As life's one big race and I want all entries to win it If you're not with it like quitters, then get out of my face You got no place in my grace with your grimace You're a disgrace with a sire, you need to recon through your fire And look higher, higher! (Look around) I got sounds that help you get down, so you can get up And avoid them stinking rats that get me fed up Yeah, they make me wanna throw up, they gotta grow up Or they'll be feeling abandoned while I'll be sailing like Noah [Chorus: N'fa] How am I supposed to live in a world of negatives? How am I supposed to love in a world full of push and shove? How am I supposed to breathe in a world full of lust and greed? Well, I guess I'll have to live day to day And pray to God that'll I'll be okay-ay-ay [Interlude: N'fa] Melbourne, Sydney, to Brisbane, and Darwin To Perth, Adelaide, Tassie And all across the O-Z-Z-I-E [Verse 3: N'fa] Picture I'm the boulder, it's time to roll I will continue like part two with no to and fro Aiming at infinity, start a nasty road Had to leave the poor luck souls before they fall, so I got the key to the door and I'm searching for the keyhole And I unlock the door, I bring new love to my people Unlike these fickle fanatics that wanna cause death Cut hopes late, praying we fall to hell's depth As I watch and see all our progress regress As what goes up comes down, nevertheless We stung by the horror, cold hearts with armour Boomerang effect as we all face our karma [Chorus: N'fa] How am I supposed to live in a world of negatives? How am I supposed to love in a world full of push and shove? How am I supposed to breathe in a world full of lust and greed? Well, I guess I'll have to live day to day And pray to God that'll I'll be okay-ay-ay
