OMG!!! I found this when it came out and I totally forget it until today!! Maaaan, I'm so happy now!!! WOHOOOO (yes, because of Sandra, fan of Guano Apes, lol)
back in the day - THIS IS HIPHOP... one of the best suprises of my life was when i went to a "SWISS"-concert in Hamburg and DJ Tomek and Ferris were there... dope AF!
That interesting times, when some music people were trying to link people of old and new cultures. Literaly this song opened my eyes for rap and hip hop when i was always a typical army boots kind of street fighter type, at same time this tune opened eyes of typical hip hop ganger types people for Sandra Nasic and Guano Apes and soon it was like "Hey yo man come hang with us, heard that new tune? Good shit!" and i got some new friends, some even for life. Realy nice times :)
At first i thought this was Billy Danze from M.O.P. but it's Trigger Tha Gambler who worked with Smoothe Da Hustler who's also in the video they had a similar style to M.O.P. they all from Brownsville.
Durch meine Recherche für meine Thesis (Thema: Gangster Rap) alle Ice-T Videos angeschaut. Kann es immer noch nicht verstehen wie Iceberg mit so jemanden wie Tomekk Musik machen konnte....
Das war ne Zeit in der US Rapper den Europäischen Markt erschließen wollten. Die Strategie war damals, solche features möglichst kostenlos zu machen und das beste zu hoffen. Es gab sehr viele solcher Zusammenarbeiten. Man muss allerdings wissen, dass diese Lieder in den USA meistens nicht released wurden. Und selbst hier in Deutschland wurden die Frankreich -Features der US Größen nicht veröffentlicht.
Sad truth. This song was neither released nor played in the US, and it wasn't even very successful in Germany (unlike other DJ Tomekk Songs). There aren't even official lyrics. Entries on genius and other platforms are inaccurate and obviously fan made. It's hard to understand what Sandra really sings (partially due to her accent and choice of words - which is beautiful, by the way but also because of the most unusual content. It is a Rock vs. HipHop thing, which takes on both, a subjective and a meta perspective) but I guess it's: Here comes the glitch to my soul healing - it's the beat of your life. (Meaning for her, life would be great if German Kids still listened to Rock Music and went to rock festivals - but 2000-2006 was the time when HipHop became so successful that they'd invite rappers to Rock am Ring. This sparked a great "anti- hip hop sentinent, which Sandra kind of makes fun about ) Everybody put your hands up - for the beat of life. I'm comming from the hard rock (i.e the music genre), wanna see you die. But as long as there's hiphop - youll stay alive. Und die traurige Wahrheit zum Schluss. Ich hätte das auch auf Deutsch schreiben können. Ich bin eine 40 Jährige Johanna, die damals hart gefeiert hat und grüße meine Ottos
Auch nach all den Jahren immer noch einfach genial :) Man sollte nur die Lautstärke nicht zu sehr hoch drehen. Gibts ne Chance auf einen Re-Up mit besserem Audio?
