    Dutch heads, plaese hexplain?

    Hi

    The song is a cash-in on Madonna's "Holiday" (duh) and has some of the worst english rapping to have ever come out of this country

    (eg: we're going to London and New York City, and we take a little peace of Amsterdam)

    The song was an international(!)smash, selling a few million copies and making the "rappers" globetrotting superstars for 15 minutes. Their follow-up, "christmas rap", bombed, and the two dissapeared out of the public spotlight. A few years later Dj Sven was a succesful plugger for various recordcompanies, while Mc Miker G was strung out on Heroin, even being homeless at some point.

    Classic story no?

    b/w

    Hi A! Hows that scriptie coming?

    Yeah I remember reading that story in "van brooklyn naar breukelen" and in the interview with Miker G that dude sounded bitter..If I remember correct he was dissing other Dutch MC's and talking about a comeback..so unnecessary..lol!

    Hey NZ you should chek that book out if you would like some background info on the history of Dutch Hip Hop it was a fun read.

    This was an international smash indeed. And please do not forget about the most famous use of this great track in modern history. Ladies and Gentlemen, enjoy:

    That shit was a huge hit here in '87 too. All over the radio and the discos.
    I with a passion. Can't stand the Madonna song either.
