We found this club on a side street, but I was kind of iffy,
We could hear some fly beats, but from outside it looked shifty,
I said this to pressure just before I finished my sentence,
This bouncer came out and dragged us both through the entrance,
This guy was huge and I was stumbling with my speech,
I finally mumbled that we just stumbled in from the street,
He said to us So finding us was accidental?
Well I'm not surprised, we dont advertise at the Sentinel,
He said "Whats your name?" he said Pressure, I said Suffa,
He said "Join the rest of the suckers",
So we went right in, we sat right down,
Pressure said "I guess I'll get us both our first round",
He had to go downstairs cos the bar was underground,
He came back and said "Man these the cheapest drinks in town",
I agreed, yes indeed, we could be here all night,
They're only charging a buck fifty for imperial pints,
And I'm feeling alright, this place is kind of cool man,
I'm hoping tonight, nobody acts the fool and,
Ruins this vibe that Ive got going,
Not knowing where I am, but this jams growing man this spots blowing,
The ladies were hot I sat down and listened,
To their four thousand watt, in-house sound system,
The DJ was laying tracks, keeping people on the floor and then,
He played a crazy break, and the chorus went
Pressure
These dim lights hold, silhouetted figures fit in tight moulds,
This beers ice cold, yeah were going to be here till the nights old,
I might stroll, see what I can plunder, but I wonder,
Do I feel a blunder or is that the drink putting me under,
A strange feeling, this place got my brain reeling,
Looked up and seen a picture of the barkeep upon the main ceiling,
Feels like a broken dream, I'm walking through a smoke machine and,
In the corner seen a dope fiend, blowing a smoke screen,
Sat down, looked at the picture on the bottle label,
It was the same man and the stripper that sat atop my table,
And as he licked her thighs I saw that glint in her eyes
The wristwatch upon her waistlet it had him hypnotized,
She kissed him goodbye, threw me a smile and a grin,
My reply cut thin by my hand wiping my chin,
Walked to the bar as the tender looked right through me I said
"Excuse me", then he replied in tones as if he talked about me not to me,
He said: "Welcome to the Sentinel, I hope your stay here's perpetual,
We serve drinks and broken dreams but no edibles",
I bought a round, man I think this is watered down,
Its tasting sought of fowl, this place is giving me the creeps and plus the doors are now,
Closing to the public so lets make our move,
Then I was struck by the strangest sense of deja vu,
Man I swore I was bent "Suffa man Ive heard this all before it went",
Ba ba ba ba ba, and then the chorus went
Pressure & Suffa
Man this places got me reeling I took a seat to get my focus,
When a group of B-Boys gathered by the stage took my notice,
At about one o'clock, the club manager approached us,
And said "I heard you jokers were MCs, who's the dopest?
Cos we run an open mic battle every night,
And to enter youve got to be, incredibly tight",
I said Get me the mic I might flip, then the lights switched,
My vision was blurring and burning words inside my eyelids,
Rhyme progression begun, something possessing my tongue,
Blessing the deaf and dumb till I was falling short of breath in my lung,
When will they let us stop? I checked the time and it was,
Six in the morning, and we were still rhyming,
Battled MC after MC, battled MCs for days,
But they wouldnt let us go, when we tried to leave the stage,
The manager said You boys can never leave this tournament,
And you can never leave the Sentinel, and the chorus went
I'm here in 2020 remembering how we used to smash cones then roll down Hindley with the Hilltops crankin hard from my EF Falcon
Aussie Aussie Aussie
@@benbischop8269 oh god no
@Joe Marley hell no nothings changed, I talk more shit than ever, random 3am messenger.
As a yank from America I understood most of those words. Nonetheless, I approve this message and it sounds excellent
Same exept wed roll in the vr and vs
i dont understand how this can not be world wide famous. fuck if they were from the states, they would be fucking huge.
lot of love for hilltop hoods!!!
the Au population is less than 8% of the states population though lol, quite significant i'd say..
I'm American and I feel like we have been deprived of something Special! Never even heard of this band before today. Sad! I can't even explain this sound. Like everything Awesome rolled in together 😍.. I will be sharing the heck outta this Believe that 🤗
@@annaknight5111 kinda jealous you're discovering them for the first time. I'd love to go in blind again. You've got great songs to look forward to. Especially their restrung versions.
Pom here. Never been to Aus but was introduced to the hilltop hoods in Toronto in 2005 by an Aussie of course
Nosebleed Section is their breakout song if u want to go from the start, every single Australian born before 2000 can sing at least part of that song.
11 years on and still giving me goosebumps 🇭🇲✌
13 years and still bumping
18 years and still some of the best Oz hip hop tracks to be released ever
Timeless beats
The intricacy of this song and rapping blows my mind... More people in North America need to know about Hilltop Hoods.
Fa sure man
Legendary tune 💫👊❤🎶
Yeah I just found hilltop three day ago and its 2022 wtf
" Hold my beer" Goes and plays Hilltop Hoods loud while driving with the windows down, lol. On a real note they came to Portland Oregon a few years ago and I was there and the show was sold out.
13 years later and still love em!!!!!
Still here from America listening Louis and proud
while your listening to this you can imagine this whole thing in your head, like a story. This video deserves another hundred thousand views
Still 1 of my favorites yeah the boys...2019
Matthew Beyer word up Matty. So damn dope.
Had a listen to seasons change the other day, god damn still hot fire
I've been trying for years for Great Clips to use this in their commercials, and even if it takes many years more, I won't stop trying.
2022, still one of the realest songs ever
The Hotel California of Hip Hop!
Brilliant
Glad I'm not the only one who drew this parallel
2018 listening to this STILL in portland oregon.
they do good work
Loving the cheeky reference to this in "Exit Sign"
My Opinion all time best hip hop group all the way from Portland Or, USA
+Josh Morilon They go alright in the US? Seem to always sell out shows over there. They're a staple in Aussie music here.
+Chris M Fuck Aussie hip hop
+Chris M Aww but hurt ? Its shit. piano looped with a simple beat with a high pitched voice raving about there so called crew and there post code nothing special.
myra hindley Not butt hurt at all. i rarely listen to hiphop. I just find if funny that someone would bother to come onto a video comment section of a song they dont like to complain about them. You must be an interesting person to say the least. Must have heaps of friends mr negative.
myra hindley To top it off you like drowning pool. Basically nickelback but a little heavier.
2020, still lovin all of hoods.
"Behold i send you out as a sheep, amidst the wolves" best line from "The Devils Advocate" seriously just watched that movie today, but i've known this song since i was younger, and i never understood what he was saying hahaha
watching it rn for the first time. Recognised the line as soon as he said 'behold'
Piano = sample from "Kozmic Blues" by Janis Joplin
My personal favourite Hilltop
Still bumping this in 2018
Ben Dover hell yeah
2019 fuckerrr
2019

Still the best reimagining of Hotel California by a country mile.
So true. Only just hit me the similarities of the stories 🤙

One of those hidden gems
Still hits

2019 !!!
Sfw
Awesome song and lyrics...
Still blasting in 2020
Being English unfortunately I'm not exposed to much Australian music apart from Tame Impala etc but Hip-Hop wise nothing. Spoke to my mate in Aus asking how big Hilltop Hoods are over there. I was told reasonably big but mostly listened to by 'Bogans' (English equivalent = long haired chavs.) I have reasonably long hair, however I am no chav, this is straight up mint. Their flow and lyrics are quality! Short haired normal people of Australia you are missing out. Can't wait to see these in Amsterdam in July, and then move to Australia for minimum of a year in October. Good day!!
+mrwoodington oo there's some bangin hip hop about, check life mc's new track anti commercial its so sick!
Yeah your mate obviously is not very involved in the culture young aussie blokes of every kind of background bump this
No bogan music, this is true barbecue rap
best in their songs. The beat does a lot :)
Ba ba ba ba ba, at centerlink
lmfao 🤣😂
I kno a place with the same name in Amsterdam down a back alley. I found it way back in the day on my way to the nurburgring . We had to go downstairs and the floor was just mud over head looked kinda spooky catacombs as if ur buried. Was an awesome place.... Mind u the pills where too 😉
Hilltops have started a new era in aussie hip hop thanks to obease bias b pegz and mc helpa
this is real music
Gotta leave my tag here.
Kings
best aussie hip hop song of all time. surely???
Not a hard title to hold. Maybe if 360 and kerser were as good as they think they are it might be a different story but really the scene is pretty poor in australia other than these ledgends.
close....maaate

Stay quiet by mantra from Perth best hiphop track

Little pub ?
WHERE THE EFF R THA LYRICS! c'mon C&UNT! WTF!
Where's the clothing
Came for the Priest, left with bleeding eardrums, not in a good way
Artists, after signing their blood contract always have to make at least one song where they give clues to what they did to get where they are. This is that song for hilltop hoods.
Nah mate, this is their " hotel California "
And they have always been independent
1 person cant find the club
Sounds like they went to hell
It may be a cool song and all but I'm really past being around people who have the need to drink. It reaches the point of annoyance being around those who NEED that in their life. Each to their own but it's not for me. In my own experience people who drink regularly can be kind of selfish in many ways. Drinks always have to come first, being drunk they can act like fuckwits. Not saying all but the whole scene gets really old really fast. That had nothing at all to do with my belief in God it's the attitudes of those who drink that turned me off. Most of all I don't believe that they show any sort of respect for those who have had alcohol issues. They don't show a duty of care.. they care more about money than they do people..I don't see how they show a duty of care towards the greater society.. just wanting to fill our lives with constant advertising. Letterboxes, television and internet ads. It's in part why I no longer watch TV and often just gather the junk mail.and throw it straight in the bin. All the complimentary wine offers and shit annoy me too with other purchases. Yet those same people will slam smokers.. go figure.
The statistics on drinking offences including sexual, driving, family break downs I assure you would be much higher than a smoker of cigarettes. As in the cause of excuse of..
check out Shredding the balloon by them. Touches on the dangers of addictions and its also a BANGER!
You are not worthy to use the same song title as Judas Priest.
Still listening to this in 2018
