Anyone like this shit.
I actually like it better than American Rap, it’s got better beats and is more dynamic than Southern rap bullshyt.
Aggro Berlin is the main label, and I guess a clique too.
They are out of the former East Berlin.
Mind you it’s been a while but most of these guys are from dilapidated Soviet built apartments housing tons of people.
That’s at least what they say to justify how their life mimics project life or something.
These guys all claim to be “gangstahs,” It seems odd that this culture would form in Europe.
But I guess if Neo-Nazism can become the number one organized crime problem in Russia, this can be come the number one shit in Berlin.
This might just be popular culture profiteering, extending Gangster Raps shelf life, by transporting it to Europe.
Disco died out in the USA and lived like 20 years longer in Europe so I guess thats why someone would want to do this.
Anyways about it, I like this music.
Most of the rappers are of mixed descent (someone of a muslim country plus a german mother, US African American Army/Marine plus a german Mother), bilingual turkish or poor Germans many of whom have been accused of Nationalist leanings.
This music is popular with immigrants and ring wing pseudo-fascist as well as young people. It is pretty much despised by the rest of the country.
Check out the vids, its interesting if you have the time.
