Hiiiiiill-Toooop
Funkoars and Bliss n Eso are great too.
Eminem may be a bit more 'adult' but he's still great.
Hell, even Kanye West was good before he attempted to fit his head up his arse and seemed to like it....

These guys have survived in a relatively marginal music sector, from formation during their High School days, where others such as Silverchair have waned.

The Hill Top Hoods hail from Hilltop Ave (?) in Blackwood South Australia, apparently. Pretty sure they don't live there now though

Still creative, and while not my type of music generally, I find their songs often inspiring and easy listening. It will be interesting to watch their output as they mature....if they can maintain their original fan following or continue to appeal to the teenage demographic which gave them their earlier success.

I think this has to be put in perspective - (recognition where due )

Aerosmith is the best-selling American rock band of all time, having sold more than 150 million albums worldwide,[18] including 70.2 million albums in the United States alone.[19] With 25 gold albums, 18 platinum albums, and 12 multi-platinum albums, they hold the record for the most gold albums by an American group, the most total certifications by an American group, and are tied for the most multi-platinum albums by an American group. The band has scored 21 Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, nine number-one Mainstream Rock hits, four Grammy Awards, six American Music Awards, and ten MTV Video Music Awards. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001, and were included among both Rolling Stone's and VH1's lists of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time.[20] As the band's principal songwriters, Steven Tyler and Joe Perry received the ASCAP Founders Award and were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2013.

You need to go back to '72 to the origins of hip hop/rap with DJ Kool Herc pioneering breakbeats, clock theory and scratching and alternative to the emerging disco scene. Following on from there Grand Master Flash and the Furious Five were one of the first groups to emerge with hip hop and following into narrative rap, The Message, the first commercially successful rap song.

In between all this you also had electronic music origins in groups like Kraftwerk starting in '70 and being influential in every genre of music imaginable. If you haven't take a listen to selections from their catalogue. Co-designing and having custom electronic "instruments" made, the use of vocorders, all stuff that you don't hear again in mainstream music for over a decade.

Well, the origins of rap go a long way back. Bob
