HILLTOP HOODS "The Nosebleed Section"// Audio Engineer & Wifey 🥷🏻 React

[@dresdyn100]

First hip-hop album of any nationality to go to number one on the mainstream charts in Australia ever. Legendary band.

[@KittyNakajima27]

Hilltop Hoods have been around since 1996. This song is from like early 2000’s, like 2003ish. I remember listening to them in Highschool, all my friends knew the lyrics. They were locals to us, only a few mins away. Even if you weren’t into hip hop, pretty sure you still knew the words and would sing along.

[@Simbacat997]

You should see Anthony Ray's reaction to this song

[@joelholland8523]

True, they are Legends 🤙

[@joelholland8523]

@d3v1lishm1ndz6 noticed a place called Hilltop in NSW on my way from Vic to up the coast. When I saw the sign, my head started spinning, trying to figure it out lol I seen these boys live in Sale Victoria in pissing down rain. They asked the hole crowed to be and party just like my 3 friends and I.. we made it on channel V them saying this. They will always be the #1 in Aus hip hop

[@adriandavies4787]

​@joelholland8523 it starts with an O and it's just south of Adelaide in the Adelaide Hills. Saw these lads before anyone knew about them at a mates party on his dads property

[@joelholland8523]

@adriandavies4787 there legends man. I seen them live in Sake Victoria. In the pissing down rain. They asked the crowd to be as me and my 3 other mates were lol we were having a good time! It made channel V. They sounded just like they do on there albums

[@R989D]

When I emigrated to Australia from Scotland I was handed my visa and a copy of this song haha. It’s an institution of a song 😂 not my genre at all but it’s such a vibe!

[@daswunder1901]

The real OG's know the BMX Flatland video with this track

[@alexockenden2997]

Blackwood boys.

[@Noelzsazsa]

Is that a secret Pedo thing that only you and them know absolutely the biggest try hard white boy flops

[@ilinija]

I've seen so many reactions to the song and two things are THE SAME in all of them. Everyone has a grin on their face and rocks along

[@jackhamilton1536]

Never heard anyone compare them the the beastie boys bout shit probably the best comparison ever hah

[@zidapi]

This was their breakthrough song that pushed them into the mainstream. The video documents probably the biggest crowds they had ever pulled at that point.

[@MayakittenReads]

Hilltop Hoods are great and one of the foundations of Aussie hiphop. In recent years there’s been an explosion in indigenous hiphop artists who’ve connected with the genre and have a hell of a lot to say. Briggs, Baarka, Baker Boy etc.

[@daniel-bg5nq]

Pretty much everyone in Australia love the hoods even if not a hip hop fan. Check out cosby sweater

[@Noelzsazsa]

Not a chance mate hilltop hoods are pedos

[@theotherdogknees]

Sample is 'Melanie - People in the front row'. Early '70s.

[@musikbyjh]

Thank you!!

[@russellfrancis813]

Hilltop definitely are pioneers in the aussie hip hop scene. The first group to get really big, I think. They spawned a whole era of aussie hip hop in their footsteps. Lots of good artists. Urthboy and Horrorshow are my jam. I also highly recommend The Herd, they're incredible.

[@thethrowawaythatstayed7055]

Yup. They have their own record label now.

[@TheDegan79]

The Herd were 1st. They definitely laid the ground work down with their independent label.

[@UndergroundAussieHiphop]

@@TheDegan79 Nah. Westside Posse/Sound Unlimited Posse were the first.

[@michaelwebster8389]

The sample is Melanie - "The people in the front row"...

[@Ex-it]

They were the support act for Eminems last aussie tour.

[@damiancoulthard44]

The Lads are from Adelaide Hills in Adelaide South Australia and the sample is from a Dolly Parton

[@BaradineAllawa]

Melanie Safka actually.

[@kylemackay1778]

More hilltop hoods please!!!!!

[@Noelzsazsa]

The little grub got a good glassing that was coming to him

[@musikbyjh]

Sorry?

[@nicod4660]

subbing for this, my fave song ever, cheers from Oz guys xx

[@angeladee8789]

Hoods are the group who define/d the Australian hip hop genre

[@alwynemcintyre2184]

I'm way way on the wrong side of 25, this is the song that got me into hilltop hoods. The fact that I grew up a few suburbs away from where they started out is absolute bonus, bought every album since.

[@joelholland8523]

Highly recommended checking out more if there music. Im Australian seen them live. They are very Talented Aussies

[@uniekbeats]

Aus hip hop's been around since the early 90s.. and the scene was formed on being real to yourself and not emulating american accents/gang culture/gun play etc, cause it just not that common here. So its developed a uniquely australian style over the years which is generally uplifting and positive, or very honest introspective/mental health etc... we do have heavy east coast influences, but its never really gone mainstream here, so its all about penmanship and the art rather than image.... for the most part. Tons of great artists that are well worth diving into.. the accent can take a little getting used to, but the content is world class.

[@Rastusmishka12]

Great reaction. Try "50 in 5"!!!

[@backtothegrid3531]

Aussie hip-hop definitely had its prime in the late 00's, however even as these songs push 20 years old, high schoolers today who are way younger than these songs can still identify with the music, old school hip hop has an extraordinary place in music, and to have artists who've contributed to the genre locally gives anyone no matter the age a sense of community with something to bond and connect over.

[@capatheist]

Lyrical commission are my number one but their relatively unknown outside of aus hip hop fans

[@trevorwarren75]

Can't believe you guys haven't done any more Hilltop yet. React to 'I Love It' ft. Sia, or 'Exit Sign' ft. Illy - guarantee you'll love it!

[@musikbyjh]

Thanks for the reminder! We'll get more Hilltop out soon!! ✌🏽

[@Bobsyagod]

Interesting comparison to Beastie Boys. Hilltop went on an Aus radio stations show called Like a version where they get asked to do a cover, and they covered Beastie Boys So what cha want, styles fit perfectly

[@CreamedRice]

That was a good request !

[@theotherdogknees]

Chillinit and Wombat Mr Jeremy, showcase what some would regard as a 'harder' style of the wordmongery that you youngsters refer to as 'Hip-Hop' from Australia. Insofar as the esteemed H.Hoods are concerned, one could do worse than looking at the live 'Cosby Sweater' performance from the JJJ Beat the Drum show from Sydney. Features many other performers. Drapht, T'Kay, Seth, Horrorshow, Illy, Thundamentals etc. A veritable showcase of the radio friendly side of the above. As ever, your servant, D. Knees.

[@thethrowawaythatstayed7055]

Hilltop Hoods are a national treasure.

[@Matt-v7k]

One of the first in the Aussie hip hop scene. Trailblazers

[@Simbacat997]

This song was released in 2003, they are still creating dope music. The sample is from a singer called Melanie Safka and the song is called "People in the Front Row". A 70s indie/hippie/country song - definitely worth listening to!

[@redz23z]

Great reaction guys 🔥🔥. Please react to Hilltop Hoods - ‘Fifty in Five’. It’s about the major world events that occurred in the last 50 years mashed into 5 minutes. Song is fire.

[@musikbyjh]

Thank you and will do!!! ✌🏽

[@redz23z]

@@musikbyjh hey guys. When will you be doing this. I’m really looking forward to seeing what you think of it.

[@redz23z]

@@musikbyjh Hey Guys. Are you still going to react to Hilltop Hoods - Fifty In Five. If you aren’t it’s all good. Just so I know, because I check your channel everyday hoping you guys have done it lol

[@musikbyjh]

Hey @@redz23z !! Yep, but it won't come out until early January. We have a ton of holiday donation requests. Hope to see you then!!! And thanks for being here! ✌🏽

[@shadoman3]

Bliss & Eso or Drapht are worth checking out.

[@richyglitched]

I see you actually have the official/unofficial clip... The Bro riding flatland on the bike is the OG un/unofficial yet official clip for over a decade

[@SerConcient3]

Good sound

[@AnotherFacelessDigitalNoOne]

Suffer is king. If you havent get right up in cosby sweater ❤❤

[@kobussmorenburg387]

should check out the sentinal or still standing by hilltops

[@whatwhatinthewhat4400]

if i am not mistaken they didnt know what nosebleed section was, they thought it was the front row, instead of the worse seats

[@halfsourlizard9319]

Huh. I always thought that it was intentional: People getting in fights in the pit or something leading to ... a diff sort of nosebleed section.

[@theubiquejim]

check out goldern era cypher - you will love it

[@JeshucoMuni-yo6ko]

Yeee

[@ahoytheremate1954]

Gday mate im a sound engineer from aussie and some bands to direct to you

[@musikbyjh]

Excellent and pleased to meet you, Aussie colleague!! ✌🏽

[@tangles01]

This is nothing like our beastie boys

[@musikbyjh]

Not quite, but see the comparison!

[@icarusandtherabbit]

Try Hard Road Restrung or 1955 by HTH.

[@angeladee8789]

"is there another"... Australian hip hop is awesome. Google!

[@Nephzi]

Hilltop and Bliss n Eso were the 2 big Aussie rap groups of the late 90's / 2000's now I'd say ONEFOUR and No Money Enterprise have taken that torch.... ONEFOUR is drill so it's probably more of an acquired taste whereas NME are more of a throwback to the fun vibes that Hilltop and Bliss had

[@bob2shred894]

The hip hop scene is big here. Check out jk-47 . He is am aboriginal rapper. He is tremendous

[@musikbyjh]

Thank you, Bob!

[@mattrobertson5708]

Funkoars 🎉

[@taipan801]

If you want a good Hoodies song react to "Higher"

[@RoxanaHuarachaMamani]

Cómo

[@oldmanjimh3165]

WHY???? haven't you done Jinjer yet?

[@musikbyjh]

I know! Because I've heard most everything already and thought it wouldn't be good since I know what to expect. Should I anyway? I’ll definitely do it when they put out new music. Appreciate your thoughts! ✌🏽

[@oldmanjimh3165]

no.@@musikbyjh

Bugger, used the word 'showcase' twice below. Must always read twice before posting.

[@sarahsmith8780]

🤷❓️REN just dropped album of the year. Where the heck are u at? U r going to lose it when u hear the songs he saved for the album⁉️

[@musikbyjh]

I know, I know! Ren coming tomorrow at 11am ET!

[@musikbyjh]

What’s the most 🔥 song on the new album? (One that he hasn’t already put out before)

[@sarahsmith8780]

😁Yes!! My personal favorite is Seven Sins. The production is phenomenal!

[@mulvinarowe332]

HH's have some incredible music, I'd reccomend you checkout some of their other back catalogue. Other aussie hiphop to look at : Bliss N Eso, Drapht, AB Original, Baker Boy

[@jamiekirkpatrick3634]

any relevence to thsi admittedly awesome track (as an aussie) is abrogated by your lazy late effort to jump on...join with my favourite of them and suffer with the MC suffer and work for your selves

[@musikbyjh]

Ouch! We are just happy to have found them at all and have much respect. Apologies if we didn't show to your liking. Appreciate you giving us a shot. 🥷✌🏽

[@tsk1xhobezx711]

Nahhh no aussie beastie boys. I love the beasties but hilltop arent a gimmick group. If you want some raw aussie hip hop check out THE FUNKOARS - RESIGN ON THE MASSES

[@scottcain3068]

This was filmed at 'the big day out', melbourne and at 'festival hall' in 04/05.. probs the best Aussie hiphop group.. 'The Herd' are pretty sik too.. yall should listen to 'unpredictable'✌️
