The Herd - Parliament

[siakaaa]

this joint go hard , but yo my boy (187SIAKA) in his latest video I WON ALLREADY i promisse u love it

[thectexperience]

War could never be bought in these circumstance

Unlike ghetto street clothers or urban dance

the craziest thing about the herd is people still waving the aussie flag when they play at Big Day Out.

[claireburrell]

Man that accent is so so embarrising

[shearstyle949]

friend started me on bliss n esso now i cant listen to anythin but aussie hip hop

[ROONTANG]

Does anyone know where I can get this album? I can't find it ANYWHERE. Not on iTunes, not in JB-HIFI, I've even tried looking for downloads on the net. It's like it doesn't exist.

[benjaminbrown01]

@ROONTANG The Album is "An Elefant Never Forgets" its on iTunes

[thectexperience]

@ROONTANG I;d go to their site and send them an email

Or else download Freecorder and record it off Youtube

Sun Never Sets is a better album though in my opinion ...just make sure you listen to High Seas, best early Herd track

peace

[towradgiluke]

Hah yeah. The english accent is real original on rap. Love english rap, love aussie more.

[TerraFamma1]

I love'em....

[VLTSIKJET]

this is actually called Burn Down the Parliament

[maXim0200]

This Is Aussie Hip Hop Not rap... just like hilltop hoods.

[FORTBAXTER]

I hoped this was proper music by the 1960's group of musicians - "The Herd" but it's just another electronic track with angry people shouting over the top of it. Awful!

[4zxeue]

The Herd, in addition to vocals, has live bass, guitar, as well as clarinet, piano accordian, etc. as part of their band. Thanks for trying though.

[bernardbeers]

@FORTBAXTER Obviously, you're not an Australian. Otherwise, you'd understand the angry words they are quite obviously not screaming.

[honda4lifee]

aint poetry its obviously rap but a rap that actually makes a fair bit of sence

[cireodeca]

i love the notes/pitches in this song

[MsRedbelly]

Love this, clever & funny. Would love the Herd to come & "blaze on the Mic" at the next Nimbin MardiGrass . I'm sure the 50+ cops/Riot Squad (& Sniffer Doggies) would appreciate some decent hip-hop .......

[FalseFlagAmerican]

bali was an inside job

[AngryPandai]

Yeah and so was 9/11

[FalseFlagAmerican]

100% correct.

[o0AussieAndProud0o]

"we be blazin on the mic like Nimbin blazes bud"

nice lyrics

[pisstroff]

the herd are sik, n its not rap its poetry guys

[captainmenagerie]

Seriously I would rather see these guys with some occasionally funny material then a black guy pretending he is tough. I see less bravado and "yo Im the best" in this than from mainstream black stuff. Puke on them... thems the fakers.. At least these guys are giving hip hop some freshness. I gave up on hip hop a while back but this reminds me a little more of when it used to be humorous.

[dudemaness]

I know ur not but it sounds like ur dissing them at some parts, try using pro-nouns on 1 group at a time, not both :P

[watthejohnson]

totally agree the mainstream music of today is fuked ozzy hip hop and especially that which isnt so far stuck up its own arse that thats all they can do HILLTOP HOODS

[Cesc4thewin]

whoever the fuck said they are acting 'black' is a fuckin idiot. hip hop is a musical genre not a fucking cultural platform. they also rap about actual intelligent shit not guns, bitchezz, and bling etc

[benvb85]

@Cesc4thewin

Right on!

"Thou shalt remember that guns, bitches and bling were never part of the four elements, and never will be" - Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip.

[Kennett17]

@Cesc4thewin you know rap and hip hop or completely two different genre's. Id sayt there rap more then hip hop. Since hip hop actually requires singing, well it use ti during the 80's/90's, now its just talking and changing your voice with a program.

[thedoctorplusone]

@Cesc4thewin totally agree! and besides Australian Hip Hop is it's own genre! it's also more counter cultural/political which is what makes it awesome :D

[grumdogga]

@Cesc4thewin you one poverty ass nigger

[zarniwoopinperth]

burn down a lyer like we burn ounce bag

[shyguy1658]

id say if they won an award for any video song itd be 2020 but im not sure

[lucomus]

I personally like The King is Dead a bit better but 2020 is just as good :D

[beastiesandnasties]

Does anyone know who won the (triple) j award for best video..? i think it was the Herd but i don't know for what song...cheers if anyone can help

[willeybyrne]

it was 2020

[sikkcunnt]

fukin great song

[69TEMPO69]

this is like the shitest song by the herd but the herd rule XD

[fukthecombine]

damn good song

[bizzzahh]

could be better quality.

uthboy is fast ay

[tinhaub9]

the herd rules

[TeamBring1t]

These guys r good sick beats 2 say the least. Ol mate was justified in complainin bout the content of Aus Rap. If 4 no otha reason than the fact every wanker wit a comp(inc myself)IS entitled 2 their opinion. I like Aus Hip Hop jus 4 the fact that its from my backyard other than that I cannot relate 2 a single artist. Everyone is all political n shit which is cool in doses but how's every1 4get bout the streets? Not talkin Gangsta bang bang shit jus talkin a typical sat nite in Brisbanes valley.

[cwowl]

You would be after bias b or lazy grey for that.

Hell even coalition crew, good brissy scene.

[wesside1234]

doesnt get better.. big thanks to all at Elefant Traks

[Gizmosis78]

ooooh.... Let me start be asking

someusernamedtuber if He/She/It Knows what Hip hop is. Obviously not. And To ChoccoTeddy, are you from Australia? Political Correctness and Politics are This country's biggest topic. If we arnt praising it, we bash it! what better a medium than Hip hop. The herd are awesome. even if the name contradicts the topics they rap about ;)

[Uchihaheyhi]

The herd coolies

[Serbpride4lif]

great track just cant get it out of my heat..its infectious.....The Herd is amazing....

[someusernamedtuber]

this is crap it sound like talking

[ChoccoTeddy]

this sounds really catchy :) the herd's got really good songs fully sick song XP but heaps of their songs are about the government, eh? whatever, it's a fully sick song XP

[fudwrinkle]

It's a political band..

maybe thats why :)

[tolchock1984]

Because Hip Hop's a medium of expression, you can rap about whatever you like and The Herd chose politics.

[harobacktrailx1]

fuck all you who think this is shit you just dont no a good when you hear it

[shaggz20022002]

Take ur mock-reggae beats back to the London underground!

Damn left-wing bong heads!

[pugghead]

lol so true

[shaggz20022002]

Stupid left-wing communist assholes!

Aussie Shit-hop!

Yeah i downloaded ur crap "album", then had to delete it it was so bad!

[Blotto2008]

Communist? Says the person who illegally downloaded an album, not helping your capitalist agenda mate.

[shaggz20022002]

What makes you think that it was an illegal download?

Heard of try before you buy???

[juberwock]

lol ur so right. hahaha sucked in shaggz dogs for fun 20022002!!!

[yocky127]

Fuck off why watch a youtube vid of a song you alredy downloaded and deleted idiot.

[holysoks1]

Lol i guess your intitled to your opinions. but i love aussie hip hop. I understand that The Herd may not appeal to all people... but if you listen to the lyrics, they do have meaning.

[sirbadman]

Like the reggae feel.

[dannysmack06]

not in time? you are kidding aren't you, have you heard a decent recording of this song?

[finitolamusica]

can hear my head pounding...

[pflame11]

lets show the u.s how they sposed 2 do it u.k, aussies got dat real shit brrraaapppp

[flipbrady75]

I'm from the states and I come to realize that alot of countries have some really good rappers in them, U.K Grime, french , Aussie Hip-Hop, The States may have started it. but, other countries took it and added a little more to it to make it theirs, and I like it!!

[AFilthyIbis]

Glad 2 no im not th only 1 about hoo thinks theres more 2 hip-hop than the top 40 junk. does any 1 else think main stream hip-hop mainly sux?

o yeah check th Hilltop Hoods. they awsom.

[Zero2689]

Mainstream hip-hop makes the entire genre look like a joke, luckily theirs groups like these guys that produce amazing stuff and keep hip-hop alive.

Hilltop is ok but kinda overrated.

[Semphas87]

Totally agree.. I heard some cuban group some year ago, was fucking brilliant.. didnt catch the name of the group though so i dunno.. apparently they got a living hiphop culture. Hiphop will never die!

[BongSau83]

Zero2689 ya gotta have respect for the hoods they paved the way for a generation of wicked hip hop. Their earlier stuff is mad

[melaniemariamartin]

yep and they are only getting better.

[aicfnm]

I dont necessarily agree I thought the newest album was somewhat of a disappointment honestly, yes it had two top notch singles but other than that it seemed that the female vocalist was given too prominent a role. Oh well just my opinion.

[ryanfromtheblock]

but she has a brilliant voice and it was he first album since joining the group

[symphones]

i dont like the film clip...BUT it is an extremely good song...i think that this film clip does this song injustice...love the HERD and love urthboys new solo album

[lordsod69]

long time since i "heard" this, great song/rap-anyone know if these guys are coming to Ireland/Europe? I'm from Adelaide living in Galway-Ire. it would be great if they or Combat Wombat popped in for a gig!

[shay10chief]

the shit's dope aussie brothers! American hip hop is dying!! listen to what Nas said about U.S rap, one of the decent rappers still around! Aussie hip hop is alive, well and flourishing! We can actually spit positive real lyrics! unlike most american rappers who copy each others styles recycling the same old negative fake ass "studio gangster" image. Shut the fuck up you ain't killin shit! you know who you are, fake ass bitches. Your originality has gone right out the fuckin window.

[jonasrohrl]

this is stronboard shit

nice work

[CaptainSolid]

"we be blazin on the mic like nimbin blazes bud" hehe i live there ^_^

[itakeitseriously]

nidisded the guy in the blue shirt is "Aussie Battler" the other main rapper in the Herd. You can meet him in person at most of the pubs in Newtown Sydney usual complaining loudly about something or other to do with politics and the "state of this country"

[niloneske]

Peace to all the Aussie writers, B-boys, B-girls, MC's and DJ's. Let's keep our scene true to what we are and continue to push down and sufficate the fakers and shit talkers who can't hold a spray can to what we're living!

[NOOPSTA1]

yeah! patriotic statement

[KILLerONcrax]

the best thing in hiphop in a LOOONG time-next to of course old skool 'Hilltop Hoods' u twats who like gangsta need ur head read

[hangmansjoke74]
