Massive Lou Reed and Old School HipHop fan. Love love love this cover even after all these years its still a great listen.

[@Dackycat]

Nice to see a guitarist who can play the right chords for Walk on the Wild Side. Well done!

[@jakemandas7180]

On the real the fact lou passed and solo made this is actually such a credit to both these cats. My dad loves lou and never really liked hip hop but listening to this my dad said " the beauty hip hop can bring to others i've finally recognised why it means so much to your younger youth. word em up solo and the strums behind this!

[@sixstringedthing]

Respect.

[@iloverush123]

I wish America had a radio show like this. Love it.

[@bryanurban3805]

wwcd 102.5 in Columbus,Ohio is very good.

[@FlanTravolta]

There are good NPR stations all over the country! KXT here in DFW.

[@FlanTravolta]

91.7 KXT, that is.

[@pickleone]

ozzie ozzie ozzie oi oi oi

[@StoneAgeBeatMaker651]

89.3 the current in Minneapolis

[@joshmateria4927]

Keep coming back to this. Bloody awesome take on Walk On The Wild Side

[@shilohm6558]

Holy WOW at 2:46 when he starts in with the Tribe Called Quest version!!! The nostalgia... Dope AF!! This just went from like to LOVE!!! Well done boys, well done. 👏👍

[@MCFubex]

Rest in peace to Lou Reed, in the 60's was amongst the under rated song writer and an absolute legend in the music scene of it's times... Props to Horrorshow for keeping his spirits alive!!!

[@savill41]

My all time favorite like a version. My old man loves it, my mum loves it.. If you don't love it, Mate you're probably not aussie

[@connorhenderson6512]

One of the best Like A Version's i've heard. RIP Lou Reed.

[@jamespain2506]

Fucking amazing. I love how so many of their tracks feature little lines or snippets from their other tracks. They're like Easter eggs for the dedicated listener!

[@digger5521]

Saw Lou Reed in Adelaide at the old Apollo Stadium, he walked out, lifted his shades looked out and said " Its a Fucken Basketball Stadium " ...heaps funny

[@freakyfunkdownunder]

that is gold i didn't realise this and i dont think it is warrented but it so subtle and clever play with words that you have to admire it and he is representing the hip hop culture well

[@blakec2929]

so humble and chilled with a mad flow

[@tiarahenry1]

This is actually a crazy good cover, well done horrorshow

[@cozza248]

I can’t believe this wasn’t on the Hottest 100 LAVs 😢

[@2mixer]

"Mr Abbott could you please turn into vapor, you'd be doing everyone a very big favor." Truer words were never spoken

[@chef_hoyle7180]

I've got so much love for this cover! Who wouldn't want to hear this down the local live ! Pure class. well Done!

[@joelhasler-bail3923]

Still my all time favourite like a version

[@SpareChangeDubstep]

That diss on Courtney Barnett was dope! Haha. Mad vibes from this tune. Loving it.

[@stamanade]

diss?

[@SpareChangeDubstep]

stamanade Like a date with the history eraser, mate I might vomit if i see another ironic cover Of some hip hop that's iconic And yeah I know, can't we all just get along? But on the wild side Gotta know the ground that you're walking on Yo, you see rap ain't a fashion trend Happening thing for you to just be tapping in I'm really happy for you and I'ma let you finish But yo just don't let it happen again, said can I kick it Its having a go at her about her kanye west like a version she done when she said she doesnt know much about hip hop but decided she would cover black skinhead basically for the sake of it.

[@danarthur8302]

SpareChangeDubstep are you sure its about Courtney Barnett? Could be about allday

[@SpareChangeDubstep]

99% sure. Besides him giving the shout out to her before the verse, in the first line "like a date with the history eraser": History Eraser is a Courtney Barnett song. And mentioning "an ironic cover of some hip hop thats iconic" i figured was Courtneys cover of Black Skinhead. But i could be wrong.

[@thomasedmundson8157]

nah your on it, i reckon. she does history eraser and black skin head in the same performance, its too much of a coincidence haha. plus before doing black skin head she says something about "i don't know much about the song but lou reed said he liked it" or something like that anyways, and then in this, solo says "i dont know much about lou reed but Q-tip sampled" haha i reckon its full of little digs to be honest :')

[@jf160297]

I like how he Straya-fied the lyrics haha

[@mszs3913]

Let's all just take a moment to appreciate Solo's wordplay.

[@GrandAdventuresAustralia]

Why do I actually enjoy this so much?

[@lonestriker10]

Fuck its good to see Triple J exposing the public to the huge talent of hip hop in this country. The talent of Horrorshow, Seth Sentry, Spit Syndicate, Thundamentals and co are only getting better. Introducing new people to the bars and beats that these legends are producing on the regular and seeing them get hooked on aussie hip hop is only a good thing that will continue to push and better the hip hop scene as a whole

[@niccody93]

chills all over when i listen to this

[@SunShine-sv8vx]

My favorite like a version cover fo sure 😄😎

[@matthowey3346]
