Poll: Escapists Down Under, I have a question for you!

[A velociraptor]

So, about a year ago, I stumbled across this hip hop group by the name of Hilltop Hoods. Now, over here in the U.S. of A, no one, and I mean NO ONE, I've asked has ever heard of them, but the instant they hear Hoods, they're hooked. So my question to you is, are they popular on their home turf, and what are the chances of dragging them over here for a show or 12?

 

[Dark Knifer]

Not a fan but I have heard of them.

 

[TheComedown]

I generally hate rap and hip hop, then there is the Australian rap and hip hop, its the WORST kind of rap/hip-hop imo

Despite how I hate them, they are pretty popular over here. They haven't done any American tours yet?

 

[zen5887]

They are pretty big here, and well deserved I believe.

 

[Beartrucci]

Not a fan. And I'm from SA.

This, word for word. My brother on the other hand though, is quite a fan of them.

 

[Capt. Crankypants]

Don't know who they are, but from the sounds of it, rap and hip-hop, so that's an immediate disqualification from my music tastes. (QLD)

Australian hip hop is fantastic and Hilltop Hoods are the bottom of the barrel.

I much prefer Australian Hip-Hop over American hip hop (and I'm not a huge fan of either).

You obviously don't listen to Triple J

 

[Keepitclean]

I reckon that they are the best Aussie Hip Hop has produced in a while. Drapht is pretty good. Bliss n Eso are really popular too even though I'm not too much of a fan.

They are prtty popular over hear. I loved all their pre-State of Tthe Art stuff.

 

[ottenni]

They are like gods where i live. Drapht is also very very popular.

Personally i'm not a fan.

 

[Downfall89]

Skip hop is for..... skips.

 

[Adzma]

They're popular amongst the rap crowd. That said I hate rap, so I can't stand them, but that's just me.

 

[ilspooner]

Never heard of em, and I do live down under

 

[Nunny]

Never heard of them, though i dont listen to that type of music or the radio stations that play it.

 

[Hwoof]

Damn son. Same here

OT: Never was a fan.

 

[Stollos]

Not a fan, no. Some of my friends like them, but we're a pretty diverse group when it comes to music likes and dislikes.

 

[Hellz_Barz]

I love em, been a fan ever since they got big. If you really like them you should check out their best mates in the industry a group called the Funkoars, they got a similar sound.

Edit: also yes they are incredibly popular. But its also equally popular to say you dont like them. I'm pretty sure they've toured the usa. cause i know other aussie groups have.
