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.
