One of Germany's foremost spinning machines, Der Spiegel, did a piece on German hip-hop/rap & hate crimes against homosexuals -- mos def not because it became a sudden problem in Germany last year. The trend has been brewing for a while. Insulting "fags" is not just an old theme in American rap ("Your mother, you fuckin' faggot" ~Eminem)--surprisingly, Germany has always been full of fag-bashing, but the new "hardcore style" has caught fire ... e.g., Bushido posing as American gangster (Check the accent!), and nevermind Galatasaray Rapper Kool Savas, who wrote fag-bashing bars in the 90s. "Bushido now reaches so many more people. He's a phenomenon, he really is. He's the most popular rapper in German history". Even Neo-Nazis digg the shit of this half-Tunisian German MC ... who supposedly hates Nazis. G-G-Gay Unit!

About
"The term ▄▀Deutschrap▀▄ denotes hip hop music produced in Germany. Elements of American hip hop culture, such as graffiti art and breakdancing, diffused into Western Europe in the early 1980s. The first German hip hop artists emerged in the mid-1980s as part of an underground music scene. Early underground artists included Cora E. and Advanced Chemistry. It was not until the early 1990s that German hip hop entered the mainstream, as groups like Die Fantastischen Vier and the Rödelheim Hartreim Projekt gained popularity. Though some dismiss Die Fantastischen Vier as 'pop rappers,' it was their music that made hip hop accessible to a broader German audience." -Wiki
