An interesting article appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald today, titled ‘Phat Of The Land’ written by Craig Mathieson featuring comments from Eso, Pegz, Diafrix and mentioning crews Hilltop Hoods, The Herd and Killerqueenz. Now I say interesting article, not for the content, as it’s a story we’ve all heard a million times over, but more interesting for the reaction that it caused throughout the Australian Hip Hop community. From the comments raised on twitter, we see some interesting points of view on the article and hopefully some good buzz for those involved.  Read the reactions below.

urthboy translates to: ‘we’d like to keep condescending you as illegitimate step-children, but you’re more popular than rock’n’fkn’roll’

blissneso @urthboy too true bro – because we’re ever evolving as a scene does this mean we’ll always be considered as the new kids on the block?
