What a nice thread this is.
It's hard to find good lyrics with good melody at the same time these days, because all of the rappers want to be gangsters now. I don't mind some swearing in rap, but rapping about being tough, money and women over and over is just so low, when you have these guys who do modern day poetry with great music and manage to do their songs with no swearwords at all to an extent that I am constantly amazed how someone can twist around the language so well. anyways my 2 cents of some good old school rap: German: I'm surprised no one mentioned Fettes Brot! Those guys really are modern day poets! Someone tell me if this is not poetry!:) Einsamkeit der Klofrau Jein I really like Sammy Deluxe too, but I like his older stuff: Wie jetzt Mein Problem Hab gehoert French MC Sloaar, a little bit of French poetry Quand le soleil devient froid RMI Romanian poetry Bitza Razboi in doi Aripi Frante Czech Chaozz, a little bit of Czech poetry Jenom tak chodim Vodopady (remake of TLC's Waterfalls) Italian Joe Cassano, well, not really poetry, just good music Dio lodato Russian Timati (don't hate me for this one) Welcome to St.tropez Edited by Vlad on 20 November 2010 at 6:21am 2 persons have voted this message useful | ||||||

Rap in English makes my ears bleed and my muscles spasm. It's just... So painful to listen to. When it's in another language however... It's somehow not so life threatening.
French is good yes, but so is German imo, and in Dutch it is kind of cool. Edited by CheeseInsider on 07 January 2011 at 9:28am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Hey, I listened to some of Jeppe Rapp, really liked it, the beat's got a real west coast American feel. Danish Dre?? I have absolutely no knowledge of Danish, but is he rapping with an American accent, or is that pure Danish? 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Yep, it certainly is pure Danish in that song. I just think that's how a lot of hip-hop ends up sounding in Danish. I'd also like to post a cult classic from the 90's which is famous for being in Southern Jutlandic, a Danish dialect. On the other hand, it might sound a little German. ^^ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUNrhJ4HaFI Edited by Danac on 08 January 2011 at 12:54am 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||
