Gangsta Rap from Vienna

I don’t know - should I applaud the fact that these kids are doing something “creativ” or bemoan the way they seem to take this whole gangsta shit seriously. The music is boring, too, but this, obviously, is some kind of Vienna Rap underground.

Well, most rap - and I do admit that I don’t know a lot about it - is sexist, ignorant and self-referential as hell. But this here is awkward from their crew-name onwards. Absolut HIV - hello!? And then rhymes that go “You ask me why I don’t like gays? because they are gay. I think gays are cool, but not if they are gay. And when they are gay, they are sons of bitches.” Is that ironic? Moreover, I never got this whole “respect”-thing, where everyone wants respect from the other people first. And finally, where are the girls? Don’t they like girls? Or is this some kind of boy’s club?

Judge for yourself: Absolut HIV-video auf YouTube

    “And finally, where are the girls? Don’t they like girls?”

    probably not.

    “… du haufen dreck bist wie eine frau die rappt …”

    disgusting and, moreover, embarassing.

    They dress like they guys I meet at gay clubs, only somehow more vapid and more self-involved.

    it is noteworthy that it is some kind of a “response” to a similar thing in Salzburg. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jE_FU4C1U9U) hence the incineration of the Salzburg-tshirt. there is some kind of city-battle going on.
