    The first one is surprisingly inoffensive. The second one irked me for some reason, although that snare is on point. Anyway, I don't get the point? If you're German, sure, but why would anyone else really gravitate towards this?

    As a german who understands the new lyrics I think the idea is somewhat charming and I think he really translates the english flows well into german but I can't imagine listening him go through hip hop history with only that one voice. It works well with Nas but the second tracks misses O.C.s timbre. I think a compilation where every song is covered by another german rapper would be more listenable. Kurt Hustle covering Kool Keith, Morlock Dilemma cover Organized Konfusion....

    Not foreign, but somewhat a propos. You deserve a gold medal if you can make it through the entire youtube.

    German rap covers have a long tradition.

    Check my Ish write up for a bizarro cover of The Message. Cool instrumental and humorous stylings.
