Nice Change of Pace

"I picked up this album in Germany after seeing one of the videos on tv. Obviously, the album is in German and unless you understand the language, it can be difficult to undestand. However, the beats are unique and there are some nice cuts from American artists (like Ludacris). It will be interesting to see how this artist does on future albums, esp. if he is in collaboration with some of his rap peers."

Some of the best German hip hop

"Sido is one of Germany's most successful rappers. There's a wide range of material on this CD. There are some party songs, such as "Fuffies im Club" and "Endlich Wochenende," and some deeper, weighty songs such as "Knast" (jail) and "3 Leben," (three lives.) There are some really funny skits as all, such as "Sido und die Drogen" (Sido and drugs,) where Sido is thrown out of the studio because he's too high to rap. The most famous song is undoubtedly "Mein Block" (my block,) which is about the Berliner projects where Sido grew up. Even if you don't speak German and therefore can't appreciate the often hilarious but critical lyrics, I'd still recommend this album to and fan of hip hop music."
