Deutsch Rap
Rap and hip hop music have from their inception been full of controversy. Nonetheless, the present short article is intended as informative only, without presenting for and against arguments associated with the genre.
As expected, the style has been adopted, and adapted, by different cultures across the world. Thus, today one can easily listen to someone rapping in almost any language, since even ancient languages, no longer used, have at times been transformed into lyrics.
Obviously, Germany has its own artists. So, Deutsch, Deutsche or Deutscher Rap und Hip Hop refer to such music produced in German.
The Website www.16bars.de is an excellent source of information on the topic. Aggro Berlin is a famous label, taking its name in reference to local slang. Slang is popular in the milieu, with rappers such as Fler (also known as Patrick Losensky and Frank White) claiming this particular form of communication, among other things, brought them success. Other notorious performers include the group Die Sekte (with Sido, Alpa Gun, Tony D, B-Tight, Mok, Fuhrmann and Bendt), Bushido, Kitty Kat (a.k.a. Kitten Ket), the duo Automatikk, Keskin, Silla (formerly Godsilla), Reason, Mo Trip and Dj Pfund (list non-exhaustive).
