In the coming weeks and months we will start from the editorial 1beat.de a new series called "DIG THIS". Authors and guests (producers, musicians, DJs, Redakteuer, Aktivistn, friends) are going to write about their HIPHOP HIGHLIGHTS of the near and distant past here.
The second edition of DIG THIS-the former BACKSPIN EDITOR Dennis Kraus makes Hamburg. Dennis has written over many years as a writer for the hip-hop cult sheet and later also assumed the position of the boss. He is now active in many Leviathane and writes for Sound and audio magazines. With hip-hop, he is still connected. Not only as part of the backspin editors, but still as passionate fan he himself collected soul records from the 1970s and even prodziert beats.
Dig This!
A tip is Marterias album "Fortunately, in the future," certainly not. When it was published in summer 2010, a large part of the scene almost overturned by activists praise. And yet to meet one day rap fans who have not yet found access to this masterpiece. It's so easy!
Help to look at the actual work of a number of other rappers in the country could have delivered a lot in recent years, but rather disappointing. Often there was a lack of a musical concept. Or it was offered too little exciting new. Or the board drowned himself in reruns. Or the main character was so confident in his skills that he forgot simply that there are still more than the listener's oh-so-dazzling rhyme to keep it under your nose.
In "Luckily in the future," everything was different. You had to go far back in time to encounter a work that moved this country so well current musical trends in the hip-hop context. With The Krauts are Marteria had laughed at the most exciting producers that he could have had. Along with them, or vice versa, they created 12 songs, all of which are fundamentally different and yet fit together beautifully into a complete work. 12 songs are the theme for yourself, but go together like "Wetten, dass ...?" And Thomas Gottschalk. Always excellent instrumentation, offers Marteria on each of those beats brilliant lyrics that are formulated as brilliant as it is entertaining. The listener on a very pleasant way to attract, entertain, and often dismissed with a punch line from the song. It goes Marteria always, is very stylish on the sometimes fine line between embarrassment, pseudo-jokes and irrelevance on the one hand and move to draft, good humor and observations on the other side. Often with rather simple terms it usually pushes things better - and particularly interesting - than many of his fellow rappers. Sometimes even a few words and the picture in the listener's head is there. For this he has to "Happily In The Future" is an excellent feature choice is made. With Jan Delay, Peter Fox, however, it has two artists on board, who have certainly a much greater standing than him. Steal the show, he can not from them yet. Instead, they are, how well the singer Jasha, Casper and nestled perfectly on the same number of songs-heard Miss Platnum in his oeuvre.
Anyone looking for the weaknesses of the album, which can of course criticize, lecture Marterias way would be monotonous, downright boring. And you may miss the breathtaking flows, which some other rapper has to offer. But let's face it: On the remarkable just once, then they are checked off. "Been There, Done That". End. Who goes something like this, which one might call, but that technology is exciting only when one no longer perceives it as such. The latter finding Max Herre told in an interview BACKSPIN way already in 1999. Currently, she is still.
The latter also holds for "Fortunately, in the future." Even a half years after the publication, at least I can still hear the record. And I know it by heart. But when I pressed the Play button only once, she caught me again. I would hope by many other rap records these days, too. Just do not come to this request. Too bad.
