So I was at a media store last week looking through when all of a sudden I found a genre called Skip Hop. WTF is Skip Hop!?

Then I found this.

Quote:

(n) A subset of Hip-Hop produced by Australian musicians, otherwise known as skips.

Skip-Hop is rapped in a broad Australian accent, usually with references to iconic items or activities, such as fish'n'chips, Coopers Beer, hanging out in Frankston, or the didgeridoo.

Skip-Hop usually draws heavily on sampling, and is famous for its clean and bouncy beats.

Skip-Hop does NOT encompass Hip-Hop rapped by Australians in American accents. This is referred to as lame and traitorous.

Do you have any examples of artists we should check out?
It sounds odd enough to be interesting.

Just sounds like Australians who happen to be making Hip Hop from that description.

On second thoughts, it sounds like a lame parody.

That's the thing, Australian hip hop was just that, not some new name patriotic label. Nor have I ever heard of a requirement "Australian accents only." Most artists here are influenced by American hip hop. I'm still looking for artists online but I can't seem to find any fitting the requirement. Some consider Hilltop Hoods skip hop but they don't rap about beer and food or have a distinctive Australian accent. I used to know a group of boys around my area and they did have a pungent Aussie accent that rapped about vandalism mostly. There was no such genre appearing in stores until recently.

1200 Techniques are pretty good Australian hip hop group btw.

I'll have to go through artists in stores and get back to you.
