The Situation Of German Rap Music

Taped: Frauen Im Rap II

Is the representation and portrayal of women in rap still a problem worth talking about? Falk Schacht (Mohawk Entertainment, DE) talked to Marina Buzunashvilli (Die Marina, DE), Miriam Davoudvandi (splash! Mag, DE), Sookee (Musician, DE) and Salwa Benz (Radio Fritz, DE) about these and other questions in the session Frauen Im Rap II. Backspins recording is now available here.

Taped: Die Marke Fler

At Reeperbahn Festival 2018 the Berlin rapper Fler (Musician, DE) talked to Niko Hüls (Backspin, DE) about the beginnings of his career, how he managed to establish himself not only as a rapper but also as a businessman and why rap for him mainly was way out of criminality at first.
To relive the session or to catch up, watch Backspin’s recording of Die Marke Fler.

Taped: Status Quo Deutschrap

German rap music is more successful than ever, an info that has been outdated for years. But where does it really stand. Is it still a youth culture, is it a scene or is it "just" pop and mainstream? These and other questions were discussed by the experts Miriam Davoudvandi (splash! Mag, DE), Martin Seeliger (Universität Hamburg, DE), Marcus Staiger (Vice, ZEIT Online a.m., DE), Juri Sternburg (Vice, Noisey a.m., DE) and Lars Weisbrod (DIE ZEIT, DE). Go to Backspins recording of Status Quo Deutschrap.
