Some German Rap to spice up your Playlist

[tallandsweet]

Since I love rap and haven't written a take featuring some new German rap songs, here you go. Most of these songs have foreign languages mixed in, but each song includes German bits, so I hope you enjoy my compilation.

I've tried sorting the songs from slower to faster beats.

SSIO - Rocco Siffredi

This is a very old song, but I only recently discovered it. It's a tribute to the Italian pornstar Rocco Siffredi.

Uzee - Mondlicht

Malik Montana - Jungle Boyz

I like the flow with this song a lot.

Mois and Maestro - Blut

This is a powerful anti-war song with a great beat and message.

"we all bleed the same blood"

Nimo - Zart

A fun tribute to Milka, a chocolate brand you may be familiar with.

Brado and Mero - Kafa Leyla

A fun, upbeat song to dance to where ever you may be right now!

Does anyone remember the Austrian pop singer, Falco from the 80's? (Rock me Amadeus, Der Kommissar) He was rapping in his songs in the early 1980's, before rap was a thing in America. He is also credited as being the one who started the style of mixing pop with rap that is used in songs today. This was decades before before I was born but we have MTV Europe in my country and they sometimes play music from that era. I also like German pop star, Nena. I speak a little German, but my mother is fluent in it.

[tallandsweet]

Yes!
My boyfriend is a huge fan of Falco and quotes him daily *sigh*. I'm actually from Austria, so Falco is one of the first things people mention when they realise I didn't grow up in Germany, haha.

So interesting to read that your mother is fluent in German, that must have been hard to learn if it wasn't her mother tongue, lol.

German language is taught in Japanese high schools. My mother can speak it well. My ability is not that good, but I can follow a basic conversation

[tallandsweet]

I still remember Takeo Ischi and his chicken Yodeling haha :D that was so fun!

Thank you so much. Just what I needed for my playlist 👌 you don't know how much I am grateful.
I am a hip hop fan. I like rap, I always listen to it. And I also like German language.
I have taken basic course of German, many people thought it was because of my interest in their culture or to travel.
While yes to that. But the matter of fact I like the way the German language is said.

[tallandsweet]

You're very welcome! I'll try to post more in the Entertainment & Arts section again, I know few people on G@G enjoy German rap, but I like it and think it's quite underestimated haha :D
Glad to have sparked joy with this post!

Wagner and Beethoven would be crying for what their Germany has become.

[tallandsweet]

Music tastes vary, though I'll say that I enjoy classical music when studying and German rap when I have the urge to feel F R E E - there's nothing quite like being in your teens and turning one of those songs up while driving into the night.

[Gosceewual]

that first vid was not rap, its singing, here's german rap

[Gosceewual]

hiphop today is mostly pop music and singing, 90 rap was the real hiphop genre at its purest form

[Gosceewual]

90s rap*

[Jjpayne]

Sounds fun! Thanks for sharing it!

[msc545]

There really is German rap? Who knew?

[tallandsweet]

Didn't you?

[msc545]

I had no idea. I thought it was an American thing.

[tallandsweet]

There's rap in every language, LOL. In Germany, rap is a very important means of expressing yourself, and most famous rappers have a foreign background, hence the foreign languages mixed with German.
If you look at this list, you'll see that all of the men mentioned here were born in Germany, but not all of them grew up with German as their mother tongue, which influences the music they make a great deal: skyrockliving.com/best-german-rappers-list/

[msc545]

oh... so I see. thanks!

[tallandsweet]

I didn't include Capital Bra in this list, but he's very well-known in Germany and of Ukrainian/Russian decent I believe (wasn't born in Germany but moved there as a child), you can tell with the way he rolls the r when he speaks German.
There are also a couple of famous female German rap artists, though it's certainly a heavily male-dominated industry, similar to the US.

[msc545]

Well here, it's mostly black people who are the best at it along with being the best musicians.

62 million views on YouTube, Shirin David started out as an Influencer when I was in Middle School I think: www.youtube.com/watch

[tallandsweet]

"Gib ihm" means "give it to him" (as in "give it to me" sexually)

[msc545]

Glad you told me as I don't understand a word of German!

[tallandsweet]

A lot of songs don't really make sense, even if you speak German. For example, "Antar" is a word for macho basically, the music video is allegedly a hommage to Pulp Fiction, but a lot of the song's lyrics are... Well.. Very simple! There's not a message to every song lol. It's just supposed to be fun and that's good enough sometimes haha.

I don't always understand US rap, some of it involves too much mumbling/not speaking clearly. British rap is a bit brutal/aggressive in my experience, not sure.

The last one is so "German" it hurts my ears.
