It was released in 2010 and the beat samples a song written in 1960, which was about wondering what the world will be like in 2010. If you listen closely, you can hear a vocal quietly singing "twenty ten" The song was written as a reply to that song.
Beats by the pound by butterfingers... Have a gander at that song. Australian hip-hop is pretty all I listen to since I moved there 21yrs ago. The average human can relate to most of the music. American rap is all good but I didn't live a ganster lifestyle so while a enjoy it I don't relate to it @@ThatSingerReactions
Fun fact: those trippy vocals you can hear in the background is taken from a sample from a song in the 60s called “2010”, which is basically about being hopeful for what the future holds. The reason they sampled this was to show how backwards the human race has gone. Very cool concept, and very heavy
You need to check out "Through the Dark" by Hiltop Hoods, it's about his son being diagnosed with cancer. It's heartbreaking, but fantastically written.
actual one of the best songs they have put out. hilltop are the original Aussie hiphop artists, have been listening to the since I was 8y/o I'm now 28.
What is actually awesome about this song is it's a reply to the song sampled in this song, the sampled song is called 2010 by Tinkerbells Fairydust released in 1968 which is basically looking forward from the 1960's to 2010. I've been listening to this song since it came out and only just found this out. The depth that these guys go to it amazes me. Hilltop hoods are legends.
This song was a response to “Twenty Ten - Tinkerbell’s Fariydust” which was a track questioning what the next 42 years would be like! So in turn this track covers what the past 50 years has involved! 100% one of Hilltops greatest pieces, this track still gives me shivers 😍
Man this is my favourite hoods song. Seeing someone enjoying it like that for the first time actually made my eyes tear up. You’ve made my day mate, thanks!
That was heavy & kind of depressing but awesome at the same time. They’re clever. Now I think I need a Jimmy & coke to sit back with & reflect about the good stuff too 😅
Stopping all station restrung will always be one of my favourite songs - that 3 way story paired with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra is just poetic and beautiful and beyond moving!
A lot of Australian hip hop is quite political with a deep message. There's a label called elefant traks that has a tonne of artists trying to get across some real important messages. You should check out A.b original January 26 and 2 black 2strong
That is what I love about Aussie hip hop, it is political and real and unafraid to say so. And funny and sad and thought provoking, it is a platform. I wonder if it is the same in other countries 🤔 I have only listened to Aussie stuff.
I absolutely love this song. One of my favourite hoods songs. Other songs would be 'shredding the balloon' or suffas '8 minute verse' < that one has awesome imagery built into the lyrics. One thing that you may have missed by stopping and starting the song is the music builds and builds and builds to the end. 50 years in 5 minutes of song, gives me goosebumps every damn time.
Need to listen to some of their hits such as I Love It and The Nosebleed Section. Both excellent songs. I Love it features Sia as well, she has a brilliant chorus which she sings. 👍
Aussie here...Fifty in Five is my fave song. Fifty years in a 5 min song. Intelligent well thought out story of the last half century. Love love love this!
if you dig the "real talk" on tracks then Warm winter by Seth Sentry is pretty bomb, his track denial touches on the george floyd/police situation and Sea is rising by Bliss N Eso are also dope tracks of a similar style to fifty in five with great introspective lyrics and have done several collabs and tours with the Hoods. EDIT: the quake in japan took out a nuclear powerplant and caused a ecological disaster thats still being cleaned up today and will be for years to come.
why the fuck would Seth sentry talk about a man that killed himself by taking drugs and when police showed up he worked himself up till his heart gave out?
Much respect and love from 🇦🇺 Thanks for the interest in our countries awesome talent. We were once a great nation of pub bands, concerts and music festivals as its in our blood to be outside, bbq, drink, dance and sing along. Keep up the great work.
Thank you,thank you,thank you..was introduced to these guys in my mid 50's, now have every album they recorded. Would love to see you react to Audience with the devil off Hard Road Restrung🙏
Just watched seven going on eight reactions. Once I start, hours can go by… quite addictive. Great music great reactions Hill top Hoods poetry very cool! Thanx for the songs♥️
Ooof I didn’t know they released this song but thank you for reacting it and to Josh for suggesting it. Definitely got me in the feels about this world.
Wowww. This is actually very interesting + thought provoking. Words are very much about the world and life... hhmmmm. I am glad you reacted to this man + showed the it isn't all about money!
Exactly people don't realize that it never was about that lol think about it Chris how many reactors reacted to something you asked for you think they would out of the comments they have. They look at them don't recognize it and move on I give people the opportunity and myself to get so much music reactors don't react to to be heard you feel me bro
@@ThatSingerReactions Exactly. That's why you're my favourite and we all love and respect you bro! You are a true music lover. Plus...I HAAAATE reactors who see an amazing part of a song eg: an emotional AF part....or a big note, and they have no reaction and are dead on their face (😶😑) lol...You def aren't like that and what's why you have a big amount of ppl from all over the world following you. Don't stop man! Keep being you 👊🏼👌🏼
@@ThatSingerReactions I have only followed you for about 2 months now , and i worked out that money wasn’t your agenda . Music and appreciation of other artists is your thing . Your reactions when you hear brilliance is the best . There is something special knowing a certain track and knowing that “ when this part of the song drops , he is going to lose his mind “! Then there is another reason, being an Aussie it’s awesome to have our talented artists appreciated . This Australian made ( slash kiwis ) reaction portion of your channel really stirs up a sense of pride . Thanks it makes my heart smile 💜
Loving what I'm hearing being a 70's music girl, hadn't listened to Hilltop Hoods but I'm converted thanks for your reactions.... it was the Japanese earthquake that impacted Fukushima Nuclear Plant
Lyrically hilltop hoods are brilliant they are super smart and talented with how they tell a story through hip hop as well as produce just straight out bangers
I did an essay on this song in college (in Australia) like 7 years ago as I found it that unreal and liked the things they talk about in the song. It’s slept on heaps, even unpacking this in a 18 min video there’s still heaps of stuff that’s referenced that is missed (“bush fires and bush firing scuds” just as an example) it takes a fair few listens to get it all
@@aaronjesperson6917 well, he knows he’s listening to an Oz band, Oz fires coupla years back went around the world, so fair chance.. But yeah, hard to pick up everything on 1st listen.. but always gives me goosebumps every damn time I hear it.. Bloody mad writing skills, big songs or the less well-known ones.. even Collabs, crazy gifted..
I think the only real way to get all of it is to get the lyrics on paper and read it. Especially if you aren't Aussie. So many references coming thick and fast.
I subscribed because you just did my favourite all time song. Seen HTH twice, been a fan since i was little. They have some amazing songs and lyrics. 50 years of history in 5 minutes. Amazing song
Love how much you get in to it. Nosebleed is probably their most well known song, but I’d personally recommend listening to some of their early stuff that’s not as well known. I love “dumb enough” I think you’d enjoy it
hey man congrats on the 100k, been watching here and there for months, ill hit that sub and help get you across the line bro. HTH rock they do have a lot of heavier tracks they been around for a while, and people will mostly suggest songs like this that resonate with them, but they got a lot of bangers! we have a lot of hidden talent in aus that are super famous here but unknown over there
If you continue with Hilltop Hoods you have too listen too Stopping All Stations, no spoilers other than it’s about a train ride from seperate passengers perspectives!
Hill top Hoods are Australian so a lot their references are specifically Australian - when they mention Abbott and Costello, they're talking about a pair of conservative Australian politicians who were well-known for their antics. When they talk about the grim reaper with a bowling ball, they're talking about a famous advert from 1980s Australia about AIDS. The reference to "children overboard" is about Australia's unpleasant history with refugees. Why did you skip the bit about JFK and MLK?
Mate gotta see some flowz - price of life, and then his latest Flowz Dilione - behind bars… almost 10 years apart and it’s as real as Aus rap gets almost
I m huge fan of the hilltop hoods nick , thank you!! On the topic of moon landing and other stiff , its the reason i love hilltops . Coz, theyre musical great and they make you think !!! And their music is diverse mix, from 50in 5, to HIGHER, 1955, COSBY SWEATER, IM A GHOST, ETC ETC SO MANY TUNES. ENJOY 🇦🇺Aussie music , we re up there!!
Yes yes yes. You have so proven you are a true artist and can see beyond the surface and understand language beyond countries and borders and cultures. Man I adore you and your opinions and reactions!! I would LOVE the HTH to invite you over her to Aus to Jam!!!!
the sample for this track was about everything that happened in 55 years.. years later hilltophoods sampled the song responding in there version of events that has happend since the og release of the sample
Woah! This was from 12, TWELVE!!!! Years ago!? Damn. Imagine a part two. A recap even of just the last two years would make any man weep with what we have become. Dude, love your vids. You’re already big, but I reckon because of you and how you are on camera, you’re gonna be so so much bigger. Just sayin. Off to another one of your vids. Binge zone activated!
To clarify the lyrics to this song are Terror cleared the skyline and anger clouded judgement, So they spent a thousand night times in the desert fighting something that they couldn't find, That made it something that they couldn't fight, Left us all lamenting all the wrongs that they couldn't right. This is for the second time that we've been here before, From Vietnam to Saddam we always needing a war. Neo-Conservative rose up like Viet Cong, Their fingers on the trigger we wont be here for long. They killed MLK and named a day after him, They killed JFK and named an airport after him, Some guy shot a monster called Reagan so he could bone a girl named Jodie Foster if only he'd known. They tested nukes in the atmosphere the sea and the dirt, And they tested all these missiles just to see if they'd work. Now France got em, Russia got em, india and Pakistan, Korea want em, States want em pointed at the Taliban. Iran and Afghanistan sands of the Arab lands, Orders from portable commands and armored caravans, Internet 3G cellular phones, serial killers building mini cells in their homes. And we had Manson, Bundy, Gacy, Son of Sam, Macarena, Superman, Chicken dance, Running man, Generation X and generation Y, And the generation next will degenerate and die, Cause we got holes in the ozone that we put there ourselves, Now the poles are a no-go, Earths cooking itself, And we cant look at ourselves, so we got saline, botox, eighteen, fake tits, nineteen, detox, Don't stop, get it, get it, can't afford it get it credit, Buy it, spend it, try it, getting fat? then you better shed it, Ab-swing, blue blocker, Tupac or Biggy, East coast, west coast, Fat Joe or fifty, Thatcher the shifty, iron lady, Tony Blair, A princess died, some say cause she got Dodi there, Whitlam, Keating, Hawke and a promise, Of no children in poverty, wish that could have been honest. We had Abbot and Costello, Right wing overloads, Promises and children, they threw em both overboard, Overwrought refugees thrown to a group home, Or jailed for the crime of looking for a new home. Elvis died, Hendrix died, Lennon died Genocide, in Africa, Serbia, Cambodia, pesticides, bio-toxins, chemical warfare, All's fair in love and war, more work for the pallbearer, More terror. more unjust search and seizures, A tidal wave came and claimed the coast of Indonesia, Quakes in Iran, Japan and California, Greenhouse gas turned the world into a sauna, The trauma of mortars, martyrs, slaughters, Of partners, mourners, fathers and daughters, They chased us, caught us, numbered us to sort us, Raped up, scorned us, to break us they bought us, Third world kidneys for captains of industry, Uprising in the street, corruption in the ministry, A blowjob brought about the fall of a dynasty, And MP3s saw the fall of an industry, Doubled population, halved accommodation, Carved up resources and we starved the poorer nations, Beirut, Chechnya, all hell, Broke loose, Berlin, nineteen eighty nine man, the wall fell, Cold war ended but that didn't stop more shells, Waco lit up the sky like burning oil wells, A world laid waste addiction, Tell Orwell truth's always stranger then fiction, Big brother's on closed circuit TV and on cable, Reality's now scripted, celebrity's for sale, jeopardy and jail, seized, deposed, Remedies and penalties for failed CEO's, We had the Enron collapse, and white-collar crime, Investors they were taxed, a dollar for a dime, The blue chip companies and blue-sky mines, We no longer choose sides we choose sidelines, Rich bleeding the kind, blind leading the blind, And history repeats, no competing with time, Gasses eating the minds of the vets that they bing home, The plague of agent orange, gulf war syndrome, Soldiers sent home, post traumatic stress leave, STDs cause the sleeve ain't sexy, AIDS shook the eighties, grim reaper with a bowling ball, Metallica, kill em all, let god scold em all, The Guildford four, Chicago seven, Mumia, mandela, oceans eleven, Half past twelve on Friday the thirteenth, Dawn of the dead, a nightmare on elm street, Weapons free environment, war zone, phone home, Melanoma grow as we soak in the ozone, Home-grown, HYDRO, cocaine, NITRO, Werewolf in London, American psycho, Cyclones, bushfires, bush firing scuds, Baby boomers, Woodstock what happened to the love? What happened to the cubs? they fed em to the wolves, set a trial for pedophiles, they let em in the schools, Set 'em on the students, turned em on the kids, And everyone responsible should burn for what they did, And if they try to deny then an eye for an eye, The government and church on which we try to rely, Both rob us till it hurts chasing lie after lie, Like astronauts chasing a pie in the sky, They landed on the moon but can't seem to return there, Makes some question if they ever really were there, And if they were there now and they looked back, Would we look them in the eye, could we look back? Cause when we look back at what we have done, Can you believe what we have become? As we walk into the sun, Can you believe what we have become? As we walk into the sun.
Went back and read lyrics after hearing this, very deep and sad to say pretty spot on too. Crazy amount of content covered in this song! Crazy world we're living in.
This track is in a way a response to a song made in the late 1960's called "Twenty ten" by a band called "Tinkerbell's Fairy Dust" which depicts someone asking their lover if they will be with them forever, will they live their life and grow old with them, whatever the future may hold, specifically the next 50 years.
dude i absolutely love that you're out here doing these reactions spreading aus hip hop. this song is an all time classic and i would rate among the best songs ever. my personal favourite band is horrorshow, they're a duo from Sydney and i don't even know where to tell you to start with them but i think their best song is "Down the line (Mana's song)" it's about his family and the death of his grandfather. Powerful stuff, i hope you can check it out. I personally stand by the entire horrorshow catalogue, i think their breakout was "The Rain" which is how i found them. Also an extremely powerful song. Cheers mate
I listen to this song and the hilltop hoods a lot I was in the top 0.5 percent of listeners of Spotify haha. I love to repeat a song and deep dive it, weather it’s the real story or how I personally relate. I love to squeeze every meaning out of every line. So I listened to this song on repeat traveling to work each day for a week straight it was roughly 250 listens back to back and what a song it is you need the lyrics in front of you to read and hear it a few times to get the power and pure genius behind it. One of my top songs of all time.
Loving this channel man your killing it! While your checking out Aussie hip hop you may as well check out other artists like- Drapht (Rapunzel)Seth sentry (the waitress song), Bliss n Eso (House of dreams, act your age, addicted) , Urthboy (the signal) The herd (I was only 19) Songs are in brackets.. im sure other people could name a lot of other good artist too man
Fun tid bit to go with this, the sample in this track is a song called “Twenty Ten” by a band called Tinkerbells Fairydust released back in the 60s. The original songs basically asks where the world will in in the year 2010, this songs is the response, hence summing up the last “fifty” years “in five” minutes
This song is a great introduction to a book called "The Fate of Empires" That basically explains the 250 year cycle all great civilizations in human history have been through and how we never learn from history and repeat it time and time again. Have done for 5000 years now, that is all of recorded history.
Big love from Australia. Thanks for checking out the tracks. 🙌🏻
You boys have been the soundtrack to our lives! I last saw you at Adelaide BDO06, so long ago now! Big ❤ from the Adel hills
❤️
Holy crap, Yeah the boys 💖
HILLA TOPPA, good to see the lads are coming to watch.... when are you touring again????
City of light 💡
The fact the the boys actually commented on this video makes me so fuckn proud to be an Aussie. Hilltop Hoods are the Ozzie GOAT!
💯
❤️
They are a national treasure
It's 50 in 5, as in 50 years in 5 minutes. Hilltop are so good live.
Why the 5 minutes?
@@ThatSingerReactions 5 minute song track...

@@ThatSingerReactions because thats the duration of the song. Saying 50 in 4 or 50 in 6 doesn't sound as good as 50 in 5
Beats by the pound by butterfingers... Have a gander at that song.
Australian hip-hop is pretty all I listen to since I moved there 21yrs ago.
The average human can relate to most of the music.
American rap is all good but I didn't live a ganster lifestyle so while a enjoy it I don't relate to it @@ThatSingerReactions
Yes Hilltop are story tellers. The best hip
Hop artists in Australian history. Would love to keep hearing hilltop reactions. Thanks!
they aren't telling stories in this song, they're telling facts
Fun fact: those trippy vocals you can hear in the background is taken from a sample from a song in the 60s called “2010”, which is basically about being hopeful for what the future holds. The reason they sampled this was to show how backwards the human race has gone. Very cool concept, and very heavy
“Waco lit up the sky like burning Oil Wells” that’s a clever way to reference Waco and Kuwait in the same bar xD
I was a young Australian in the USA during that time and I remember those things well . Waco wasn’t far from where I was at that time. Great lyrics
You need to check out "Through the Dark" by Hiltop Hoods, it's about his son being diagnosed with cancer. It's heartbreaking, but fantastically written.
Actual tears every time I listen to that song. Powerful ❤
incredible song but also gives strength
Just listened to through the dark, nearly made me cry.

That was heavy & kind of depressing but awesome at the same time. They’re clever. Now I think I need a Jimmy & coke to sit back with & reflect about the good stuff too 😅

I made a video for that I should really update and make public.
why the fuck would Seth sentry talk about a man that killed himself by taking drugs and when police showed up he worked himself up till his heart gave out?

Powerful lyrics hilltop are the bomb my favourite oz hiphop
Hill top Hoods are Australian so a lot their references are specifically Australian - when they mention Abbott and Costello, they're talking about a pair of conservative Australian politicians who were well-known for their antics.

@@TurkeyMuncher117 yes it’s fitting talented comedic clowns and political clowns . 🤡
It is one of my favourite music collective, and this song is one of the best from them! Fire! I cry!!!🔥😢
My favourite Hoods track. 50 years in 5 minutes. Really makes you think about the world we live in.
Been listening to these guys for about 4 years now and they have some of of the best give it to you straight lyrics I've ever heard..
Definitely has a bit of a modern day "we didn't start the fire" feel to it
The hidden tracks are where it's at! I've had two albums "the calling" stolen over the years!
BLISS N ESO- The Sea is Rising!!
If you enjoyed this one then you'll love the BnE track
Cant wait to he listens to the sea is rising
I love this track. I always think of it as an updated version of We didn't start the fire by Billy Joel, but much more in depth and hard hitting.
Bit fan on hilltop hoods happy to see this happening woot!!
True story tellers is how I describe hill tops.Love everything they do❤️
HTH & Bliss N Eso are the 2 greatest ever and OGs in HipHop/ Rap from Australia.
Hopefully he listens to the sea is rising by bliss and eso

People don't realize I'm always watching lol I just get so many comments it's hard to respond to ever last one of them. Lol
Thankyou for acknowledging Australian Hip Hop and these Kings!
TSR. you're not wrong, this song hits HARD! Thanks for doing this, I have never heard it before and was floored by the content of the song.
the sample for this track was about everything that happened in 55 years.. years later hilltophoods sampled the song responding in there version of events that has happend since the og release of the sample
Woah! This was from 12, TWELVE!!!! Years ago!? Damn. Imagine a part two. A recap even of just the last two years would make any man weep with what we have become.
Dude, love your vids. You’re already big, but I reckon because of you and how you are on camera, you’re gonna be so so much bigger. Just sayin. Off to another one of your vids. Binge zone activated!
To clarify the lyrics to this song are
Terror cleared the skyline and anger clouded judgement,
So they spent a thousand night times in the desert fighting something that they couldn't find,
That made it something that they couldn't fight,
Left us all lamenting all the wrongs that they couldn't right.
This is for the second time that we've been here before,
From Vietnam to Saddam we always needing a war.
Neo-Conservative rose up like Viet Cong,
Their fingers on the trigger we wont be here for long.
They killed MLK and named a day after him,
They killed JFK and named an airport after him,
Some guy shot a monster called Reagan so he could bone a girl named Jodie Foster if only he'd known.
They tested nukes in the atmosphere the sea and the dirt,
And they tested all these missiles just to see if they'd work.
Now France got em, Russia got em,
india and Pakistan,
Korea want em,
States want em pointed at the Taliban.
Iran and Afghanistan sands of the Arab lands,
Orders from portable commands and armored caravans,
Internet 3G cellular phones,
serial killers building mini cells in their homes.
And we had Manson,
Bundy,
Gacy,
Son of Sam,
Macarena,
Superman,
Chicken dance,
Running man,
Generation X and generation Y,
And the generation next will degenerate and die,
Cause we got holes in the ozone that we put there ourselves,
Now the poles are a no-go,
Earths cooking itself,
And we cant look at ourselves,
so we got saline,
botox,
eighteen,
fake tits,
nineteen,
detox,
Don't stop,
get it,
get it,
can't afford it get it credit,
Buy it,
spend it,
try it,
getting fat?
then you better shed it,
Ab-swing,
blue blocker,
Tupac or Biggy,
East coast,
west coast,
Fat Joe or fifty,
Thatcher the shifty,
iron lady,
Tony Blair,
A princess died,
some say cause she got Dodi there,
Whitlam,
Keating,
Hawke and a promise,
Of no children in poverty,
wish that could have been honest.
We had Abbot and Costello,
Right wing overloads,
Promises and children,
they threw em both overboard,
Overwrought refugees thrown to a group home,
Or jailed for the crime of looking for a new home.
Elvis died,
Hendrix died,
Lennon died
Genocide,
in Africa,
Serbia,
Cambodia,
pesticides,
bio-toxins,
chemical warfare,
All's fair in love and war,
more work for the pallbearer,
More terror.
more unjust search and seizures,
A tidal wave came and claimed the coast of Indonesia,
Quakes in Iran,
Japan and California,
Greenhouse gas turned the world into a sauna,
The trauma of mortars,
martyrs,
slaughters,
Of partners,
mourners,
fathers and daughters,
They chased us,
caught us,
numbered us to sort us,
Raped up,
scorned us,
to break us they bought us,
Third world kidneys for captains of industry,
Uprising in the street,
corruption in the ministry,
A blowjob brought about the fall of a dynasty,
And MP3s saw the fall of an industry,
Doubled population,
halved accommodation,
Carved up resources and we starved the poorer nations,
Beirut, Chechnya,
all hell,
Broke loose,
Berlin,
nineteen eighty nine man,
the wall fell,
Cold war ended but that didn't stop more shells,
Waco lit up the sky like burning oil wells,
A world laid waste addiction,
Tell Orwell truth's always stranger then fiction,
Big brother's on closed circuit TV and on cable,
Reality's now scripted,
celebrity's for sale,
jeopardy and jail,
seized, deposed,
Remedies and penalties for failed CEO's,
We had the Enron collapse,
and white-collar crime,
Investors they were taxed,
a dollar for a dime,
The blue chip companies and blue-sky mines,
We no longer choose sides we choose sidelines,
Rich bleeding the kind,
blind leading the blind,
And history repeats,
no competing with time,
Gasses eating the minds of the vets that they bing home,
The plague of agent orange, gulf war syndrome,
Soldiers sent home,
post traumatic stress leave,
STDs cause the sleeve ain't sexy,
AIDS shook the eighties,
grim reaper with a bowling ball,
Metallica,
kill em all,
let god scold em all,
The Guildford four,
Chicago seven,
Mumia,
mandela,
oceans eleven,
Half past twelve on Friday the thirteenth,
Dawn of the dead,
a nightmare on elm street,
Weapons free environment,
war zone,
phone home,
Melanoma grow as we soak in the ozone,
Home-grown,
HYDRO,
cocaine,
NITRO,
Werewolf in London,
American psycho,
Cyclones,
bushfires,
bush firing scuds,
Baby boomers,
Woodstock what happened to the love?
What happened to the cubs?
they fed em to the wolves,
set a trial for pedophiles,
they let em in the schools,
Set 'em on the students,
turned em on the kids,
And everyone responsible should burn for what they did,
And if they try to deny then an eye for an eye,
The government and church on which we try to rely,
Both rob us till it hurts chasing lie after lie,
Like astronauts chasing a pie in the sky,
They landed on the moon but can't seem to return there,
Makes some question if they ever really were there,
And if they were there now and they looked back,
Would we look them in the eye, could we look back?
Cause when we look back at what we have done,
Can you believe what we have become?
As we walk into the sun,
Can you believe what we have become?
As we walk into the sun.
Went back and read lyrics after hearing this, very deep and sad to say pretty spot on too. Crazy amount of content covered in this song! Crazy world we're living in.
This track is in a way a response to a song made in the late 1960's called "Twenty ten" by a band called "Tinkerbell's Fairy Dust" which depicts someone asking their lover if they will be with them forever, will they live their life and grow old with them, whatever the future may hold, specifically the next 50 years.
dude i absolutely love that you're out here doing these reactions spreading aus hip hop. this song is an all time classic and i would rate among the best songs ever. my personal favourite band is horrorshow, they're a duo from Sydney and i don't even know where to tell you to start with them but i think their best song is "Down the line (Mana's song)" it's about his family and the death of his grandfather. Powerful stuff, i hope you can check it out. I personally stand by the entire horrorshow catalogue, i think their breakout was "The Rain" which is how i found them. Also an extremely powerful song. Cheers mate
I bet you'd love 'I Love It' or even check out 'My Last Confession' both by Hilltop Hoods
I listen to this song and the hilltop hoods a lot I was in the top 0.5 percent of listeners of Spotify haha. I love to repeat a song and deep dive it, weather it’s the real story or how I personally relate. I love to squeeze every meaning out of every line. So I listened to this song on repeat traveling to work each day for a week straight it was roughly 250 listens back to back and what a song it is you need the lyrics in front of you to read and hear it a few times to get the power and pure genius behind it. One of my top songs of all time.
Hilltop Hoods are massively talented. Absolute respect and again, another great review!
I live in Australia & have heard some Hilltop Hoods before.. but how the heck did I miss this one! 🤣 Love it! & yr review👌❤️
I LOVE Hilltop Hoods! My favorite is " Live and let go". When ever you're down, this song will surly get your strength back!
Best of the best.
My fave Hilltop song.
They are lyrical overlords i wish more people could hear this track
This music is my soulmate, it speaks the life of hip-hop
Some of those flows and lines remind me exactly of what Reason and Pegz put together long ago.

These guys are the best, the realest story tellers. Stopping All Stations brilliant too.
I love that you go into these videos so blind, although as an Australian sometimes I think these videos could be called "American doesn't have Google'
I read those comments to. glad dude answered
Love your work man. Hill top hoods is my jam! I think title of song is “fifty years in five minutes” fifty in five
Dude! Love your videos new sub right here!
"Dante Knows" - He's from the states and moved over to Australia and is crazy good
Fun tid bit to go with this, the sample in this track is a song called “Twenty Ten” by a band called Tinkerbells Fairydust released back in the 60s. The original songs basically asks where the world will in in the year 2010, this songs is the response, hence summing up the last “fifty” years “in five” minutes
This song is a great introduction to a book called "The Fate of Empires" That basically explains the 250 year cycle all great civilizations in human history have been through and how we never learn from history and repeat it time and time again.
Have done for 5000 years now, that is all of recorded history.
stopping all stations or city of lights are great songs by hilltop hoods
Love your work mate!! 😏
haha cheers 🍻
Cheers brothers 💯
Congrats on the 100k subs bro. Loving the Aussie hip hop
