The Announcement : Peak Street (1957-2012)
The time has come to unplug the mic, take the batteries out of the boombox, put the records back on the shelf.
Yup that's right, your favourite white boys with a magazine who don't know how to act have decided to retire.
We would like to say we have come a long way since starting as a gully community hip hop radio show, but we haven't really. Sure we dropped a few classic magazines, had a dope exhibition, pissed off everybody on Twitter from Chuck D to Richard Kingsmill, ran a charity auction for the Brisbane Floods, resurrected Hologram Tupac and dropped the Australian version of Detox in the form of the 93 Mixtape. But we still remained the same rap bastards who got kicked off-air for drinking longnecks and leaving the studio unattended to watch Anthony Mundine fights.
In our heyday our celebrated peers described us as 'fucking rap nerds destroying the culture from within like a cancer' and 'a shit excuse for journalism'. We are far too humble however to accept such grandiose accolades.
We believe Hau best summed us up when he said Peak Street was "That hopeless mate in your crew who pisses you off, but you can never stay angry at."
We could yell at all you cunts who never paid their bills, the rappers who drunkenly threatened us or the groupies who begged us not to run those pictures of them with Trials from 2006, but we are far too classy for that.
Instead we will simply say this - thanks fuckers, you've been great. Peak Street fans have been our sort of people. Heads with a true love of hip hop who don't take shit too seriously.
Let's not say goodbye forever though. You never know... G.O.A.T.'s have a tendency to lace the kicks back up to show young bucks how it's done. But for now we're taking a break to concentrate on new projects. The brains behind the operation are free agents now too. Guns for hire. Creative ronin if you will. So click below and contact us personally if you have some business you need some expertise on (and some goddam cold hard cash to pay off our extensive parking ticket collection), or if you just want to continue listening to our bullshit on Twitter get your follow on.
Peesh
