<center>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3-IzHVS9Rg</center> Hi, for the #RapThursday, the tag by @flipstar and supported by @uwelang, will go to Bavaria, the home of beer and BMW. In Bavaria there are some bands that rap on Bavarian, like *Liquid & Maniac*. <center>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIzIUFVpYcM</center> Another one that I enjoy is *dicht & ergreifend*, which has cool texts in Bavarian dialect. Well, some, if understood, are not so political correct, but who cares about political correctness. <center>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7OM013f3hw</center> *Lef Dutti* which means servant in Bavarian, is one part of *dicht & ergreifend* and has some solo mixtapes launched like * My Leberkas Weighs A Ton* <center>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUZEhf3vCx8</center> Will close with a video which was made by some Romanian fellows that live in Bavaria. Enjoy!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjWsJlpkARo --- Hi, for #rapthursday, the tag created by @flipstar and kept alive by another musiclover, @uwelang I will go back in time. Almost 25 years ago *Reasonable Doubt* appeared. It is the debut album of *Jay-Z*, one of the artist that I like a lot. In this 25 years he managed to become a billionaire, mostly by smart life choices. Respect from my side. For me, he is a role model. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIeQXLJr6Yk --- His first album is an old school rap, not so melodic like his later ones. I think it is still worth listening as it is real different from today's tracks. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oc54jsY4kno --- The texts of the songs are not political correct and who cares about it, it is an artistic manifestation in it's purest form. --- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FOQj5YPySY --- Happy listening!
## Chaka Khan - Legend Chaka Khan is now 67 years old and one of these soul legends of the world that also produced great songs to dance in clubs. So here comes a glamorous lady for **Rap Thursday** with dancefloor killers from 1978 and 1984. https://youtu.be/hX9E44mClKs Chaka was born as Yvette Marie Stevens and was successful for a period spanning five decades, that started in the 1970s as singer of Rufus - a funk project. Hence she is famous as the *"Queen of Funk"*. She won 10 Grammy awards and sold over 70 million records globally. https://youtu.be/HksvmxnIVg8 <center> ## Check the Music Community on Steem- [join here](https://steempeak.com/c/hive-193816/created)</center> <center></center> [](https://steemit.com/trending/hive-193816)
https://youtu.be/RvqDaNyVFx8 ## Rap Classics - the Hip Hop I love As outlined numerous times already Hip Hop or Rap is not totally my kind of music genre. Electronic Music and Metal are more linked to me since I was young and therefore you see a lot about Techno / Trance / House and Rock within my ongoing music posts. However at a a very young stage of my life there was a phase I liked some of the upcoming Rap Songs. One of these projects was **Grandmaster Flash** - at that time together with *The Furious Five* - The Message was an awesome Rap Song! Check it out - at the bottom I also have a remix that sounds a bit like **House**. https://youtu.be/GLj4pVGbzlc The other one which is the starter entry - Blackstreet! Classic Sounds! As a strong believer that we need more music here on Steem as well as on other related blockchains I am open for any initiative to drive artist and music lovers to the platform(s). Hence I am more than happy to submit to **Rap Thursday** created by @flipstar - another fellow German Steemian and gaming addict. I always try to support music initiatives as much as I can with my limited resources - especially in the DJ space. https://youtu.be/PobrSpMwKk4 ### About the other Grand Master Grandmaster Flash has been born as Joseph Saddler coming from Barbados to the US and is a pioneer hip hop recording artist and DJ. He was kind of one of these guys inventing **hip-hop DJing**, cutting, scratching and mixing. One special lifetime achievement or honour was that he with his Furious Five were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007, they have been the first Rap / Hip Hop act to be honoured. https://youtu.be/90GO1jELAgk
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/25/Grandmaster_Flash_and_The_Furious_Five_Promotional.jpg ## Grandmaster Flash - Epic Rap It has become quiet on the **Rap front** here on Steem - why is that? All on Hive? Join the tag of @flipstar with some Hip Hop sounds. This one is my all-time favourite of the genre. Was there when it came out and it blasted me away. The one and only *Grandmaster Flash* with *The Message*. What is your favourite Rap song of all-time? https://youtu.be/PobrSpMwKk4 The song is from 1982 and not only for me it was this first popular hip hop song to provide a social commentary rather than the self-congratulatory boasting or party chants of earlier hip hop. >Featuring alternating lead vocals by Melle Mel and Ed "Duke Bootee" Fletcher, the song's lyrics describe the stress of inner city poverty. "The Message" took rap music from the house parties of its origin to the social platforms later developed by groups like Public Enemy, N.W.A, and KRS-One. Melle Mel said in an interview with NPR: "Our group, like Flash and the Furious Five, we didn't actually want to do "The Message" because we was used to doing party raps and boasting how good we are and all that." The song was written and performed by Sugar Hill session musician Ed "Duke Bootee" Fletcher and Furious Five MC Melle Mel. *Source: Wikipedia* <center> ## Check the Music Community on Steem- [join here](https://steempeak.com/c/hive-193816/created)</center> <center></center> [](https://steemit.com/trending/hive-193816)

## From Positivity towards Dancefloor Rap The fabulous @flipstar created that lovely RapThursday thing - and I actually wanted to write sth around positivity for @jaki01 but my limitted time just made me do some fun music community stuff - here some cool Eurotrash Dance music from the 1990ies where the entire old continent was crazy for Techno sounds linked to US male singers (mainly ex GIs) rapping to these beats which resulted in the genre "Euro Trash" - some of the famous ones I have to admit I like still are in the following. ## SNAP - the song was created by or because of my Bowling skills Hard to understand this header - I might tell soon why the song is based on my sporty skills! Snap started with strange sounds but came up with perfect tunes to support a part of my young career! Production in Darmstadt, 30 kilometres from my home, we partied over 6 years - perfect Rap Techno crossover production! https://youtu.be/PDuSav3UL58 ## Captain Hollywood Project My favourite project of this Rap - Dance Genre for sure! >Captain Hollywood Project is a German eurodance music project best known for the hits “More and More," "Only with You" and "Flying High." At the peak of its success in the 1990s, the project achieved ten top-20 hits on European music charts. The project was first formed in 1990 in Nuremberg, Germany by rapper/singer, dancer and music producer Tony Dawson-Harrison (a.k.a. Captain Hollywood). When first naming the project, Harrison chose the name 'Captain Hollywood Project' in order to distinguish his new music for the project from his music from previous years. He also chose the name to give himself the creative freedom as executive producer to involve any singer, songwriter or producer of his choice when producing each of the new songs for the project. Even though the act has been viewed as a one-man act starring Harrison as the rapper/frontman, an ensemble of female backup singers, dancers and backing musicians have been traditionally included in the act by Harrison. Today, Captain Hollywood Project is recognized as a live performing duo act starring Harrison and singer/dancer Shirin von Gehlen (a.k.a. Shirin Amour) as the project's lead singer and frontwoman. Together with their live musicians and dancers, Harrison and von Gehlen perform the Captain Hollywood Project hits year-round at concert venues in the United States, Canada, South America, Europe, Russia and Australia. https://youtu.be/ykhdGF0GKHM ## 2 Unlimited I still love that girl and she was the reason I became open liking my Dutch neighbours! >2 Unlimited is a dance act founded by Belgian producers Jean-Paul De Coster and Phil Wilde in 1991 in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Dutch rapper Ray Slijngaard and Dutch vocalist Anita Doth fronted the act from 1991 to 1996. During the five years of 2 Unlimited's worldwide mainstream success, the act scored a total of 16 chart hits, including "Get Ready for This", "Twilight Zone", "No Limit", and "Tribal Dance". They have sold 18 million records worldwide. Although they enjoyed less mainstream recognition in the United States, many of their songs have become popular themes at American sporting events, particularly in the NHL and the NBA. https://youtu.be/2YVYxV66lGQ ## Culture Beat Culture Beat is a German Eurodance project formed in 1989 by Torsten Fenslau. The act has gone through a number of line-up changes over the years; they achieved the most success whilst fronted by singer Tania Evans and rapper Jay Supreme. Their 1993 single "Mr. Vain" was a number-one hit in eleven European countries, and the act is thought to have sold more than 10 million records worldwide. Check the dance visual version https://youtu.be/dsxwFHfhzHA ## Captain Jack >Captain Jack are a German eurodance project formed in Darmstadt, Germany in 1995. The project is best known for the single, "Captain Jack", which reached the Top-10 in many countries in Europe. https://youtu.be/OFdgK2GbHmo ## <center> ## Check the Music Community on Steem- [join here](https://steempeak.com/c/hive-193816/created)</center> <center></center> [](https://steemit.com/trending/hive-193816) *Project descriptions via Wikipedia*

Our nice friend of many tribes, a true Splinterlands hero, a creator, a charity driver and a music community guy is missed - where are you my friend!? @flipstar was creating this "special" music tag that I always like within my actually electronic music surrounding. He might did forget his own great initiative - would love him to post again more about his music style. https://youtu.be/GLj4pVGbzlc ## This is the Rap I love! As outlined numerous times already Hip Hop or Rap is not totally my kind of music genre. Electronic Music and Metal are more linked to me since I was young and therefore you see a lot about Techno / Trance / House and Rock within my ongoing music posts. However at a a very young stage of my life there was a phase I liked some of the upcoming Rap Songs. One of these projects was **Grandmaster Flash** - at that time together with *The Furious Five* - The Message was an awesome Rap Song! Check it out - at the bottom I also have a remix that sounds a bit like **House**. The other one which is the starter entry - Blackstreet! Classic Sounds! As a strong believer that we need more music here on Steem as well as on other related blockchains I am open for any initiative to drive artist and music lovers to the platform(s). Hence I am more than happy to submit to **Rap Thursday** created by @flipstar - another fellow German Steemian and gaming addict. I always try to support music initiatives as much as I can with my limited resources - especially in the DJ space. https://youtu.be/PobrSpMwKk4 ### About the other Grand Master Grandmaster Flash has been born as Joseph Saddler coming from Barbados to the US and is a pioneer hip hop recording artist and DJ. He was kind of one of these guys inventing **hip-hop DJing**, cutting, scratching and mixing. One special lifetime achievement or honour was that he with his Furious Five were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007, they have been the first Rap / Hip Hop act to be honoured. https://youtu.be/90GO1jELAgk ## Do not forget to join our Hivemind Music community The tags we created for this below - do not forget to subscribe to the music community here before posting: https://beta.steemit.com/trending/hive-193816 We are looking forward to all of you music enthusiasts on the Steem blockchain. >Monday Trance by @andyjaypowell Disco Tuesday by @musicgeek Wednesday House by @andyjaypowell Rap Thursday by @flipstar Techno Friday by @neutronenkind Danceweekend by @uwelang
## Eminem's Salute to Alfred Hitchcock Without announcement, rap star Eminem has released his eleventh studio album: "Music To Be Murdered By" is a reckoning with opponents, a homage to role models - and spreads a spectrum of violent fantasies. Fitting for **Rapthursday** by @flipstar. https://www.rtl.de/resizer/-Rre5ktomvvVXG7t-rX8fQqi990=/918x0/arc-anglerfish-eu-central-1-prod-rtl.s3.amazonaws.com/public/XJYTC2E72I2IZLQNLIAX4MJ54I.jpg As in 2018 with the forerunner "Kamikaze", US rapper Eminem also released his eleventh studio album in the night to Friday without prior notice. The 47-year-old posted the album cover of "Music To Be Murdered By" on his Twitter account. The cover shows Eminem holding an axe and a revolver to his head - a reminiscence of a motif with director Alfred Hitchcock. Master of crime thrillers Hitchcock himself had released an album with the same title in 1958. At several points on the album, Eminem samples Hitchcock's explanations, which the Brit had provided with his typical black humour. At the end, Hitchcock speaks of a "Danse Macabre" that had been performed - an idea with which Eminem could obviously identify. ## Hitchcock album from 1958 Because the rapper spreads a spectrum of violent fantasies on the album: In "Unaccomodating" the rapper refers to the bomb attack at Ariana Grande's concert and puts himself in a row with Saddam Hussein or Osama Bin Laden. In "Stepdad" he tells of the blows he suffered as a child from his stepfather and imagines a deadly revenge. And in the first single to the album, "Darkness", Eminem imagines the thoughts of the mass murderer who shot 58 people from a hotel window at a country music festival in Las Vegas in 2017. In the song as well as in the music video, "Darkness" at the end also refers to numerous other assassinations that have influenced the news situation in the USA in recent years - so the song can be clearly read as a statement against the armed violence in the country. Otherwise Eminem keeps away from clear political statements. It's much more about his own positioning on the rap field. In the intro to the album, for example, Eminem refers to critics who accuse him that his best times are over. He, who released his first album in 1996, complains that long-lasting careers should also be valued in hip-hop. And besides and anyway: "Bitch, if I was as half as good as I was / I'm still twice as good as you'll ever be". A strong influence on the sound of the album was exerted by Dr. Dre, Eminem's foster father in the early days, who is the executive producer here and was also directly involved in several tracks in the studio. There are also tracks where Eminem evokes earlier times: "I Will" features the rappers of the group Slaughterhouse, once supported by Eminem. And "Yah Yah" is a direct, fan-like homage to the hip-hop sound of the early nineties, without which - as he raps himself - Eminem would not have become who he is. Ol' Dirty Bastard is quoted, Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest is a guest on the chorus. But "Music To Be Murdered By" cannot be disqualified as a sentimental album - it's too playful for that, the songs are too different for that. "In Too Deep", a song about an unhappy relationship, has an eighties pop sound, with guest Anderson .Paak it becomes soulful on "Lock It Up". And for the party song "Those Kinda Nights", in which the lyrical ego gets high and has sex with a bisexual woman, Eminem afforded a very prominent feature guest in the form of Ed Sheeran. Eminem's focus on recent developments in hip-hop is evident in his dosed trap references and autotune gimmicks, but mostly Eminem is very much himself, with verses that escalate into high speed rap, superhero metaphors and lyrics that also address his psychological problems.

He is a Jamaican-American musician and producer, known as "The Father of Hip Hop" in the 70s **Infancia y primeros años** Clive Campbell fue el primero de los seis hijos del matrimonio formado por Keith y Nettie Campbell. Su infancia estuvo influenciada por los Sound system (Jamaica) y las fiestas callejeras acompañadas de Dj's (en Jamaica llamados 'Selectors'). Más tarde, se mudó a Bronx, Nueva York en 1967 y con 15 años comenzó a realizar exitosas fiestas callejeras. Su dedicación al cultivo de su musculatura le hizo ganar el apodo de 'Hercules' que Campbell adoptó en su nombre artístico como Kool DJ Herc **Breaks** In Bronx, in 1973, DJ Kool Herc realized how much the audience was animated every time the most rhythmic part of James Brown's funk songs sounded, and in which there was no lyrics; the so-called breaks. DJ Kool Herc then decided to take the needle of the record player and manually return it to the point of the song in which he had begun the break of it to extend it as many times as he wanted. At the party that **DJ Kool Herc** gave at No. 1520 on Sedgwick Avenue in West Bronx for his sister Cindy Campbell's birthday, he used two albums from the same album (**according to the documentary "And you don't stop" it was a 2nd version of the song "Give it up or turnit Loose" of the "Sex Machine" LP of James Brown of 1970**) to reproduce them one after the other and achieve the same effect that initially achieved manually by moving back the needle of the turntable, extending the break of the song. This was known as breakbeat and allowed the evolution and creation of new dance styles **B-boys and B-girls** All these boys and girls who regularly attended DJ Kool Herc sessions to demonstrate their talent dancing during the long breaks created by him, were popularly known as B-boys or B-girls (**Break boys / girls**). Guys waiting for those breaks to show their dance steps with sources as diverse as James Brown, dances of the Soul Train television program (blocking, popcorn, good foot, the robot) and the pirouettes of the kung fu movies **Influence on other artists**![TIU-noticias-DJ-Kool-Herc.jpg] Afrika Bambaataa inspired by DJ Kool Herc realized the change that music, dance, and graffiti were taking place in his neighborhood, seeing it as an alternative to the Gangs, drugs, etc., which he knew of his own meat in the Black Spades . This resource connected rap with other genres that he used in his favor, including Funk and disco, Jamaican dub and technological minimalism, in view of the Bronx's social shortcomings. He used old-fashioned and familiar sounds and made them new successes. Later, Grandmaster Flash would appear on the scene to perfect and continue the legacy of DJ Kool Herc. In addition, the first crew of MC's in history was called Kool Herc and the Herculoids, which formed himself, Coke La Rock and Clark Kent. Kool Herc left the microphone to his companions, while he dealt with the turntablism. According to DJ Kool Herc himself, his favorite artist was James Brown. Another sound that made it legendary was the break of "Apache" by Incredible Bongo Band. (https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXzmAqRk5grMBrQfRWqRvKHTYNzL5zsxUMyEQT4oq6fXJ/TIU-noticias-DJ-Kool-Herc.jpg)
