fettes brot

fettes brot -lrb- -rrb- are a german hip hop group who formed in 1992 .
fettes brot means `` fat bread '' in german .
`` fett '' is a german slang term for `` excellent '' and brot is slang for `` hash '' .
the band took the name from a fan who called them `` fettes brot '' after an early gig , which was probably meant as a compliment , but the members considered it so bizarre that they took it as the name for their new group .
fettes brot 's longevity has meant that they are sometimes referred to as `` hamburg 's hip-hop-dinosaurs '' by the group members .
