I’ve been a fan since elementary school. Woke up this morning to the news of Double K passing. Shed a G tear for my mans and now just going thru all the bangers. Loved this video and had to watch it again today. RIP Double K, up in heaven scratching and spitting.
I absolutely love PUTS man!! This is extremely nostalgic for me as an Australian who loves hip hop! Im still speechless about Double K! Man...smh. I actually feel like a small part of me also died.
🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺 this was first time an overseas heavy hitter groupthats underated and unrespected in there own country have a bigger fan base in AUS..lads have always gotta bed n beer nearly anywere in AUS..much love
Gotta give it up for the genius, main sample selection here being a lesser known Aussie Fusion/Jazz Funk group from early 80’s Melbourne too. That just adds to this homage to Australia.
whaatt! i was swimming at that very beach (bondi) just a second ago, walk outta the water, hear some people play people under the stairs, so get home, switch this shit on... how fn crazy
Awesome video clip, what an honour you made this song and filmed it here in Sydney!! I watched it on your dvd! and the making of it, epic work fellas! Just got Highlighter and adding it to the collection. Can't wait for more, not one bad track ever. Keep it coming and come on down to Oz soon for a Coopers and some Live Shows.
take a trip from Coogee to Bondi.... no way hahaha, i lived in Coogee for a year when i was 10, never thought people under the stairs would shout it out in a track... this is a dope song, i can relate to how much they love australia, i wanna go back, even though its been 11 years since i left.
I just want to thank my homie who let me have his iPod back in 05' and had all of PUTS albums to the date... this beat stood out most to me. PUTS till infinity
Thes One was interviewed for the book series *HOW TO RAP* and *HOW TO RAP2*, and shared his rapping techniques. Here he talks about flow. "It’s bad if an MC can’t get the count right and they don’t know when to come in. I’ve worked with dudes like that where I’m like, yo, come in on the 1, and they’re just sitting in the booth and they miss it.

Anyone know what the sample is used for the beginning of the song with the synth sound while they are swimming? (not Pyramid - Song for bobby , which is used throughout the rest of the song.)

I've been revisiting some of the old underground rappers I used to listen to to see if I still like them. Sorry, most of them suck, but PUTS was one where I was like "yeah this shit is still flames"
