Pop from the German Top 100

April 11, 2008

A certain Bettina in the charts is told to put some clothes on, a Hamburg hip-hop whiz boasts about himself and some German rockers ask the existential question, "What would you do if tomorrow it all came to an end?"

Rappers like to boast about being King of the World, but Rapsoul is delivering the encouraging message that anyone can be, if he just follows his interests. What's in a name? Twenty-eight-year old Thomas Huebner of Erfurt calls himself Clueso, the Sugababes are more than just sweet, and Panik changed their collective name to Nevada Tan and back again to Panik. Das Bo is a driving force in the northern German hiphop scene. Of German and Bosnian descent, his real name is Mirko Bogojević. Fettes Brot sing about a certain bare-breasted Bettina. Another song of infantile sexuality? Nope, they're decrying the omnipresent use of sex in the media.
