04.08.2009 - 21:33 | SabutoYeay! Die fantastischen Vier!
"Aaaah ich steh auf sie ich find sie cool. Hör mir das Tape nochmal an weil ich `s zurückspuhl. Denn das ist meine Mucke alter..." Great Song.
I'm pretty sure you'd also like the Lyrics. It's not that usual Gangsta Shit. It's Music about Life. Very positiv. If you're into German Hip Hop try "Absolute Beginner" http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=pKusRxt3mBw

Busdriver had me cracking up. good stuff again Paw!

Good session.
I'm always curious about new music, and this series offers a good glimpse into styles I'm not familiar with.
Looking forward to more.

Wow, looking at the connections you made from just Busdriver was like watching someone play the hyperlink game. I've always been amazed by the things you learn or discover when you dig deeper and look at the origin of something. I takes more effort than just watching the TV or listening to the radio, but in the end its always worth it.

04.09.2009 - 00:50 | dakostroKudos for encouraging your viewers to keep an open mind. I consider myself pretty openminded when it comes to music (and in general) and it really bugs me when some are so unwilling to try new things.

Honestly, i was already moaning when you mentioned german hardcore again... but then you got to the Fanta4...AWESOME!
Like Sabuto said, the lyrics are pretty clever; the song that you showed btw. is about a band which just became famous ("popular") told from the perspectives of an old fan (who hates'em now) a new fan and the star himself... a great live-act, too!
Never was a big hip-hop fan, but there always were some exceptions which i simply love... Del definetly being among those... i thnink i gotta check out all the others in this ep. right now:)
Oh Tony Hawk games really were a great source to find new music B)

YEAH
Last music from Fifa Street 2
AWESOME

I'm really getting into these series. You have cool and unique style of delivery and production.
I just kinda missed Mos Def when you talked about alternativ hip hop. On the other hand it might have been too predictable to mention him. I didnt know Busdriver and Abstrack Rude but I think they're right up my alley, so thanks for introducing them.
I must also insist that you give Absolute Beginner a try if you're still into german hip hop. They are way better than the "Fantas" and they're from my hometown ;-).
Keep up the good work.

Wow, really wasnt expecting to see busdriver here, some of my kind of music at last :). Hey Paw, if you like triphop i think you should try Boards of canada, Handsome boy modelling school (del tha funkee homosapiens in it) and cLOUDDEAD.

:D Handsome Boy Modelling School! Awesome.

I'm from Switzerland and this country is pretty much an extension of the German music market. Meaning: We get all the German stuff. It was VERY surprising to see [i]Die Fantastischen 4 [/i](or "fanta4" - you say it "fanta-fear" ) on your list. Now THAT was a big surprise. They were GODZILLA in the late 90's and they're still FRICKIN' HUGE now. I always thought Americans probably laugh at German hip hop. Nice to see it's apparently not all that ridiculous what this band does.
Ps. Actually, some songs have rather interesting lyrics. They started with stupid silly stories about .. well .. for instance two guys finding out they're dating the same chick and stuff like that. Later singing about social issues got more important and now ... well ... they're walking the fine line of interesting lyrics and plain stupid fun. (imho)

04.09.2009 - 04:44 | DaniusKangTony Hawks Underground is possibly one of the greatest games ever made.
And you sir are probably one of the most awesome dudes to ever live. Can't wait to see whats next.

I wonder if hes ever herd of horrorcore before
-
04.09.2009 - 09:44 | CeliaKodaYour videos keep getting better and better! I'm really enjoying them, and I'm excited to see what UK artists you're going to feature! Seeing as I'm, y'know, from those foreign parts myself.
*hoping for Massive Attack so badly*
Also, French? Yaay, that might mean Air!

04.09.2009 - 09:49 | SpazzMaster
Dude, I'm learning so much about music from these videos. Keep it up dude.

Paw, you are the MAN!
Great session, can't wait to see the rest!

04.09.2009 - 10:20 | professore annientamentoDzien dobry to You too :woohoo:
-
I'm willing to give any song a try, but rap and hip-hop are genres have had a hard time getting into.
So I thank you for describing more about the differences between then.
Seriously, The Roots are now on The Late Night, WITH JIMMY FALON! :dry: I don't know what to say either

I've never really called myself a huge fan of hip hop or rap in general but I've slowly started to warm up to it over the years and see its merits but I can definitely appreciate awesome uses of turntablism, sampling (I definitely have a few songs I love based off a creative use of a sample) and beatboxing.
The guy at the end definitely floored me and makes little wannabe, PAB's (punk-ass bitches) like Justin Timberfake look stupid in comparison.
As a Canadian with a lifelong love affair with music of the European variety, it's safe to say that next session should be awesometastic. Then again, "Full Circle" is always awesometastic. ;)

Excellent vid Paw, I always look forward to your videos.
And so long as we are talking about rap, and the French, you ever listen to Keny Arkana? One of my favorites, check this out

And from our friends over in Japanada, Soul'd Out (their stuff is always taken off youtube, so just ignore the collage of the Korean singer on the vid.)
[url]http:// www.youtube.com/watch? v=uZ1LqS2eGaw[/url]
These two artists really got me interested in the whole genre.

Hey dude!
Liked your episodes so far. This may not have anything to do with this particular episode, but I just thought I'd recommend you a band from my home country since i've noticed you're interested in bands on a wide spectrum... You may like a Finnish band called Alamaailman Vasarat (=Hammers of the Underworld), which is an instrumental band with distorted cellos, woodwinds, grand pianos and whatnot. Their music has been described as a mix of classical music, klezmer, punk, "kebabjazz", heavy metal and so forth. It's great!

nice. keep it up dude.

[color=olive]Hey people, thanks for the music recommendations. There are few things you brought up I've never heard of before, Keny Arkana being one of them; I really got into that song surprisingly, so thanks for that. French hip-hop is pretty hardcore lyrically because of that massive counter-culture there. Civil disobedience FTW.
Here's a clash of cultures for you, DFV vs. Sens Unik, another french hip-hop artist. Love this song:

Hey Paw,
I'm pretty new to www.TGWTG.com & to your video's, but I really like it so far :) also 'cause I'm a total music freak & I love to discover new music styles / bands ^^
I do have a question though. A while ago you wrote thise:

Now, there's one problem.. I can't open te link. I don't know if the video simply got deleted or not :P but I'm still very curious what song that was, and if you still like it today ;)
Greets,
Yara
