It might be difficult for some of you to believe, but Flavor Flav once was something other than a reality (and soon-to-be-sitcom?) star.
That’s right. He used to be a guy who got his address in the paper because he smacked that girl. But somewhere in between, he found time to rap. 
Here’s an international treat I was fortunate enough to catch on German MTV some years ago.
Maybe it’s just because I already have an affinity for the language, but I think German lends itself to rap pretty well. Thanks to the miracle of YouTube, you can find other Tomekk videos (with GZA, Kurupt, and more) if you wish. (Although I like German rap, it still seems weird to combine it with bikini girls washing a car and sucking on lollipops, though.)

laughing stocks of german “whatever”.
what a luck for everyone, who can’t understand what these losers are talking about.
hmmm… I seem to have stirred up some kind of hip-hop Rindfleisch. Stop the violence! We’re all in the same gang!
no, no violence!
just wanted to say, and beg, that these guys are not what german stuff represents outside!!!
No worries!
But please, if you have some examples of fantastische Deutsche Hip-Hop, please let us know!
It’s hard to find good German music over here.
(Besides Heino, of course.)
Peace! Kevin loves you!
