Deutscher Jam presents:
Wir müssen reden “We need to talk”
Hallo Leute sag mal wie geht’s? Habt ihr mich vermisst 😉
Alrighty guys today’s show revolves around the saying “Wir müssen reden” essentially we need to talk. Today’s show is going to give you the dual lenses you need trust me. Dual lenses auf der Hinsicht auf the past and present music flooding out of Germany showing exactly how music has redesigned what being German looks like today. Now touching base on the stereotypes – what do individuals typically think of when thinking of what a German looks like. 
I have heard everything they solely wear lederhosen, eat sausages, they have no sense of humor, drink beer, Nazi references, the language is aggressive or harsh, and are white. This could not be more wrong, being German is much more than that. Germany is located in the center of Europe, and like America is one huge melting pot of cultures. What has not been said by scholarly sources how much Germany has diversified since World War ll and more specific since 1989 moving into today. I called Hip-Hop the people’s language and also the peoples voice for it showcases a side of society of Germany you would not know existed. Struggle for identity is strong in Germany by definition what does it mean to be German? Germans today have Italian, French, Dutch, polish, Austrian, Hungarian, and most prominent within the country African and Middle eastern descent. Those are the Germans fighting for the right to be called German and be seen as equal counterparts of society. A lot of artists such as Sammy Deluxe, Xavier Naidoo, Qwam. E, Ace Tee, Manuellsen, Bizzy Black, SAM and Eunique are the current voices of Afro-German artists pushing to showcase a different face of Germany. 
Then we have artists with middle eastern descent such as SSIO, Summer Cem, Capital Bra, Bushido, Ali As, and Remoe giving us a blended version of how diverse Germany is.In Germany, whose population is 82 million, you will notice more individuals of Middle Eastern, Asian, and African descent than many other countries in Europe. Major cities such as Heidelberg, Mannheim, Frankfurt, Koln, Hamburg, Bremen, Wiesbaden, Stuttgart, and Berlin are the hubs of diversity. Now this diversification of course sparks fear for some, just like in America. Yet through Hip-Hop, we see that Germany is on a continued track of becoming more diverse in its sense of fashion, language, and image of what being looks like. Single handedly, I have experienced not being seen or taken serious as being German until I speak the language, and I know that this is due to the pigment of my skin and my fluency to operate in two different cultures. It is a shame that groups that stems from different ethnicities have to fight to be seen as who they are because of naivetés, racism, and ignorance. But that is why I am pushing the statement that Germany is becoming a musical powerhouse through Hip-Hop. Hip-Hop in Germany would not be what is it today without these groups of people how have added to diversifying the German culture. “Wir sind mehr” – we are more than the picture painted of us and through Hip-Hop these voices are being heard as bold statements for social justice and identity.
