So even though we adopted this hip-hop culture from the States we filled it with our own topics. Topics the kids living in Germany could relate to. We also have our problems over here, like the integration of foreigners, etc. But it is not as obvious than in the States. It s not like the black people against the white.
Many foreigners are also white here.
And everybody who feels like an outsider in one way or another is looking for some form of expression for his feelings and problems. And in Germany that is also hip-hop. Instead of fighting each other, you did breakdance battles. I remember many school parties where the crews from different parts of the city met and battled each other. The breakers and also writers were the first to start connecting and exchanging back in the days.
