Here is a partial list of things that are Moritz Wilken and Hendrik Bolz contrary: Homophobia and Germano in Deutschrap, philistine short responses to everything foreign and Others, crowds with "-gida" and "-esa" in the club name, hipsters and hipster bashing , belittlement and transfiguration of Straßenrap, Neukölln affluent students, Helmut Kohl, Bausparersoul and Italian comfort food service with headquarters in Bonn.
The list could go on: With his second album Everything burns applies the duo Moved Masculine, consisting of the art figures Grim104 and Testo, position as guilty of the German rap. The currently popular theory, popular music had lost its subversive explosive power as a protest medium Wilken and Bolz refute with a gala performance of the contrast one.
Moved Masculine are Deutschrap through and through, despite her critical view on the increasingly confusing situation in the genre. You do not look down from above on allies and competitors. They work from the inside out, as well as infiltrators as fans. On the one hand can be found on all the burning track patricide, pull the Grim104 and Testo new dividing lines between them and their old models. On the other hand no German rap sheet longer has long fired on so intelligently and modified actual quotes.
Love and hate at the same time ironic
This Auskennerei proves everything burns as rap album on the amount of time. Musically, it is even further: Trap Rap influences from the US southern states stand beside confetti-Techno. EDM crashes followed by dirty Kanye West fanfare, a bit Kriegsgeballer always goes. Even the trash and kitsch infatuation of Hypnagogic Pop artists like Fatima Al Qadiri has crept in. Moved Masculine are thus in a quite interesting dichotomy: irony is their enemy and favorite stylistic device at the same time. When Straßenrap they understand no fun. Probably If Autotune and Dubstep.
The indissoluble this contradiction characterizes everything burns far beyond the music. So there is hardly a hot topic in the lives of young and young at heart Berlin and Berlin resident, the Moved Masculine would not tackle: Spanish financial crisis refugees in Kreuzberg and the students invasion of Neukölln, trendy bars Drinker at Oranienplatz alongside asylum seekers who are gallantly swept from the road. Always cock again comparisons between districts, as well as the eternal dilemma with the hipsters and hipster Hatern.
Even the band's name Moved Masculine signaled with its allusion to the projects of various Berliner Old-garde rappers that Testo and Grim104 understood as part of the problem. Your bilious, given a certain style Grundprolligkeit they overstate sometimes so dramatic that he reveals the comparatively sheltered origin of twentysomethings immediately. Aggro Berlin has shaped their youth. Place it has in Stralsund and the Frisian Zetel.
This view from the outside expands the competence of the album and allows Moved Masculine, to move away from pure Berlin- and scene considerations. Your powers of observation will be more obvious: If Testo told in block OST from Stralsund's teenage years, agree even the labels on the cheap sweatshirts and liquor bottles the protagonists.
The desolation of the province may at any time to compete with the Hohlbirnigkeit of Berlin here. The ambivalent attitude, the Testo and Grim104 on the subject of taking everything burns, but can no longer transfigure broken as ironic in some retrospective pieces. When it comes to so-called turning losers, which, "half man, half couch", set up in lethargy and hopelessness in Grey White smoke, even weighty questions hanging in the air. Why no one has actually used to be the mouth opened when said out losers suddenly brought their soldiers CDs during Kiffer meeting?
Burns This accusatory questions of all are the musicians obviously itself. According to a particularly venomous verse about Marxist bedtime reading and capitalist attractiveness of a successful rap career, it is believed almost to see how Grim104 the foaming at the mouth with the sleeve of his Nike jacket wipes. Instead too clearly lip suffered Masculine allow a clever game with their own positioning. Companions say about Testo and Grim104, they could have together set up a party.
In this party program you would find just any new strategies that go beyond the basic, sometimes broken ultimately being against. Undecided and hypocritical have moved Masculine yet not. So spiteful and aggressive they will emerge from their album speaks helplessness. Indifference is not their thing. They get their hands dirty for Deutschrap and Germany. Whatever is finally 88th
