Some of you probably already heard about this...also, something tells me that 4 years ago, this would've happened here instead of on Facebook.

I'm all for giving people the initial benefit of the doubt and, let's be honest here, there's probably a reason why Frank looked into them in the first place. However, even taking their defence into account, there seems to be too much smoke without some fire here (though I'm actually a little reluctant to click on a lot of these links from within an office in Germany so haven't watched any of the songs for myself....).
a. a classic Frank diss track on par with Kon & Amir etc., although he's bringing it journalistic this time with reference citing and hardly any personal flambée
b. people are complex and it doesn't seem clear that yer man with the reissue label is just some nazi, maybe just an ex-edgelord edgy edgemaster who is now genuinely hella Christian and an honest dealer moving in on Frank's area of expertise
c. although the saltiness each of them has about "oh well did you pay so-and-so before you reissued that" just goes to show that pimpin' <3000-copy niche reissues of decades-old music from extremely populous countries without good record-keeping or copyright legalities ain't easy and I'm glad I'm not doing that for a living or even a giggle

^^ Frank pieced that together amazingly well..
He's up against Rommel, too. Frank is a beast of this shit. He's seen it all, he knows it all, and he's gonna calmly bury this fool (and his uncomfortably large family) in the desert. As KETB points out above, it looks like Frank's content to let this dude hang himself. No need to point out this cringy cut rate edge lord amateur never sipped a post-orgiac spider venom Mai-Tai in a tropical sunset hammock made from villagers' dreadlocks even once in his community college art school life: he's got a pic of the dude in a Nazi uniform. Bong bong!
And yes, this shit needs to unfold on The Strut.
LOL at the existence of German Vice and the "uncoolste Musik des Planeten" and Reynaldo's Map and a few more things...this has me rethinking my stance on getting rid of daylight savings time, it's been a great use of my fall back bonus hour. Excellent stuff!
I don't doubt that if the dude's reformed-er than fuck there'd be some similar optics to what we have here, but to me it's just as likely that he grew up a bit and cooled off the brownshirt fetish. Stopping using your pseudonym isn't that drastic - nobody complained when I stopped demanding they call me "Boog" (just kidding, I wish). And didn't Frank point out the dude's band/artist name last released in 2014?
