ScandalNavia Part 1

I really enjoyed Knut's (what up man!) post earlier with the various german rappers. Raw shit! And since we are tuning you into some of the germanic language group rap we might as well mention the vikings too..

There's a lot! But I'll make a small selection. First out is the collabo track ScandalNavia (produced and arranged by legendary Norwegian producer Tommy Tee). The track has Swedes on the first verse, Danes and one Fin on the second, and Norwegians on the third.



Together these rappers represent the older, finer generation of rappers in Scandinavia but they are far from the only guys that are ill! I also wanna say that one of the problems with rap in scandinavia is for it to find its own unique identity instead of trying to copy or recreate American hip-hop culture. But hold on, in stead of saying a whole bunch of cheesy shit (i'm to lazy to do journalistic hard labor right now) I'll just post a bunch of other vids from more recent guys that I like that do their own thing..



("his crew tight like the anus of a nun..." haha.. new group out of westcoast of norway. nice organic feel!!)



(grand old swede ken ring with beatmaker tommy tee.. they did a whole album together and called it 2 Legends Without Money.. That should be said: Hip-hop in Scandinavia is not really something you can get rinch on (like in the states). Or you can but very few do. In that case you have to be pretty commercial and drop some soft radio shit.. In other words, if you do this shit you do it out of love for the genre. fuck, i'm getting cheesy again...)



(Great song about being on drugs and being paranoid.. Dope video, especialy the ending..)



(Preppie westside of Oslo meets dirty east...Funny and pro made Fresh Prince remake!!)



(older song from another Swedish legend Petter.he was in the scandalnavia vid as well. Like this minimalistic video..)

I know there is no LoopTroop here but you guys know them already, right??? I'll put one on just in case.
