Multis for the sake of it? Maybe in some of the swag n' brag tracks, but in songs like The Sea is Rising, they're using a ton of multis but still saying some real shit which I would think is the opposite of "multis for the sake of it".

They're far from Rhyme Asylum. At times, they verge on pop. These guys are maaaaassive in Australia. Running On Air knocked Recovery off the top of our charts when it came out. I'd say they write far better music than Rhyme Asylum (although whether they're better rappers is definitely debatable).

But each to his own.

I've now listened to all of them. Yes, they're saying "real shit" but it's very generic to me, what every "concious" rapper talks about, it's the same old BS. No soul to it. Their multis are just that, multis. Like, you can tell they just wanted to have the rhymes and it makes the verses sound less natural. They're voices are shit, completely awful. They sound like every other young white guy on the earth, nothing unique about their voices at all. The Australian is horrible, and it has nothing to do with the accent. Overall, very monotonous and stereotypical "lyrical" rap, they're completely forgetable and say nothing of real substance.

The fact that they're huge in Australia is mind blowing. I don't like Rhyme Asylum, but they're better than these guys.


Mind blowing THESE guys are massive? I'd say it's encouraging to see success given to skilled rappers with intelligent content who aren't just spouting off inane punchlines or talking about clubs n' sex.

The thing I love about the Australian hip-hop scene is that the people who get to the top deserve to be at the top. Their success is backed by skill; something I'm afraid can't be said about the majority of successful American mainstream rappers.

I'm intrigued in what constitutes "lyrical" for you if you think these guys are "horrible". I can understand thinking they're generic or boring, but you must be able to appreciate they're talented rappers even if you don't enjoy it.

No worries, dude. I'd check out Flying Colours too. Not as good, but still dope. Their first two albums are fairly meh for me, but they're still worth checking out as well.

Yes, completely. All they really do nicely is rhyme very well. Their voices suck, their "deep" lyrics are very generic and played out. It's all been said before. Musically, they aren't great. The production seemed amateur for the most part. They're just forgetable, they's be decent youtube rappers but beyond that no. Not feeling them at all.

Dumbest motherfucker on the face of this planet. I can't believe this loser is still talking about "hip hop". What the fuck are you talking about Youtube rappers? They have a huge fanbase and are currently Australia's top rappers, and the fact that they topped Recovery on our charts just annihilates your whole gold-digger of a scumbag opinion. They ain't rich enough for your gold digging ass? Their watches and chains aren't shining enough for ya, faggot? Their teeth isn't quite as white as Kanye's smile? Their lips aren't as big as Jay-Z for ya? They don't own enough businesses for you? Seriously what the fuck are you? Do you like...have a crush on every rappers money? fucking faggot. Take your woman rants and woman demands and get the fuck off this section. Babbling like you know hip hop when all your arguments are revolved around you not liking the artist because they don't have enough money for your monkey craving ass. Pipe the fuck down 'fore someone throws a banana and you go chase it and then you'll really look like a Jay-Z fan. "They sound like every white rapper" sorry faggot, we don't talk in monkey codes. I think I know why you don't like Bliss n Eso. They don't make jungle music. LMAO. Not enough for you to get your groove on when you're climbing shit. And wtf is your sig? Looks like one of your tribes body paintings.

Btw ahahaha you have a slave name.

I could argue the same about rappers waaaay more successful than Bliss N Eso

Their content is far more original, intelligent and interesting than the cliched "rags to riches" or "ghetto life" stories, the inane, simple wordplay based punchlines, club bangers and love/break up songs which seem to dominate mainstream hip-hop.

Production seemed amateur? A lot of mainstream hip-hop production sounds like a retard got hold of a MIDI keyboard, mashed the keyboard, added some horrible cardboard sounding drums then recruited a superstar to record some lazily written bars, and hey! Number one hit!

Go listen to the cheesy, MIDI guitar at the start of Til I Collapse. Go listen to any Boi 1da beat. This is no more "amateur sounding" than those.

Already are far beyond Youtube rappers sooo.... wrong.

I just don't understand why it's "mind blowing" that these guys are successful when there are rappers far more successful and indisputably less talented out there. That's all I'm sayin'.
