Germans do Hip Hop?

I was just listening to German Hip hop and was actually kinda feeling it.  The group is called “Freundeskreis”, I have no idea what that means and  have *NO* idea what they were saying but it sounded hot.  In some languages, I think hip hop works and in other languages it just doesn’t flow.  For instance, have you ever heard chinese hip hop???  Even in portuguese — which I can understand — I feel that it doesn’t flow as naturally.  But spanish hip hop sounds hot and apparently so do German MCs.  All of this, kinda got me thinking … it’s been a while since I made a “concept mix” and I really want to start doing more of them.

My idea is to mix a song from every continent besides Antartica because no one is trying to make music there!  I haven’t decided if I want to keep the genre strictly to hip hop or if I any music genere from the that part of the world qualifies.  I think I would get a much more interesting sound if the genre restriction isn’t there, but if I just focused on hip-hop I think it would showcase the similarities and differences in the genre around the world.

If I wasn’t so tired and didn’t have to work tomorrow I techincally could make the mix tonight.  I currently have music from every continent (besides Antartica) in my iTunes playlist but much of it isn’t hip hop.  In the end, I think the point of the whole mix will be that, music could be hot even if it’s in another that there are more German bands than Rammstein.  In fact, some Germans do hip hop too!
