Kaffeeklatsch mit der Andrew
Hallo Leute! Reimagine yourself at a Café, kicking it with me(Janell) and my co-host Andrew.
We are pulling you into the typical conversations we’d have over a Mélange(Viennese Cappuccino) on a sunny day. You will not meet a German who isn’t ready to tel you their meinung over a Kaffee. Little room throughout todays show will be left for small talk by instead pulling you into the depths of conversation. Through conversation what can we learn? We don’t know which way this Kaffeeklatsch is going to pull you, but get ready for this sit down. Los gehts 🙂

Full Circle
Hallo ihr süßen 😉 Willkommen zu unseren Deutscher Jam, wie immer setzt euch hin und machts euch bequem. Sitz(Sit) as I say every show machts euch bequem(get comfortable). As I flew with Dutch Airlines to Germany, the only thing I thought about was the power of manifestation. Speaking things into existence through sending energy reminded me of the concept of placing an order at the best restaurant in the universe.
Let’s take you there, manifestation is like placing an order at said restaurant and trusting the chef(Universe) will fulfill any request you ask for. Aber(but) in the timespan the Chef needs to ensure your request is exactly if not better than you imagined. Only catch you can’t bug the Chef(The Universe) on how long it’s taking, the more you bug them the more likely you won’t get it. Simply because what you are communicating is, is that you do trust the Chefs judgement on when they believe you are ready. . Relating it to us, when I say we have a flight to catch, pack your Koffer(Luggage) I’m serious we are just waiting for the Universe to tell us it’s time to board the plane. For the past few months I kept saying “I’m just waiting for a phone call”. A good friend told me before I left, it may not have been the call I expected. It may not have been the call I wanted. But it was the call you needed. 
As if I flew back in time, to re-experience everything daily that I had before. My aunt repeatedly said everything comes full circle. Haha the Universe is funny right when you are questioning things it’s like here you go, now can we get to the bigger picture. Germany has brought a clearer picture of what you guys really need moving forward. Again I don’t know what you want but i’m going to give you exactly what you need ;). Originally from Germany touching base in America travelling back to Germany to bring you guys back the insight. Going full circle to the point of infinity.

Theaterstück
Today there is going to be a wave of artists that I think will give you the exact dose of Deutsch that you’ll need going into the weekend. Now think about this, the genre of Hip-Hop was created in the mid-1970s by African Americans and Latinos on the East Coast of the United States, a phenomenon that has now swept the globe. It has core elements of DJ-ing, rapping, breakdancing, and graffiti – all of which shapes and diversifies an ever-growing range of artistic, cultural, political, intellectual and social practices. Hip-Hop represents a remarkable contribution to world culture with its vision and message of change, not only locally and nationally but globally. It has emerged as a culture that integrates and encourages innovative practices of expression and social identity, just as much as political mobilization in countries. I read a book by Jeff Chang called “The Art Aesthetics of Hip-Hop “ in it he states, “Hip-Hop is one of the most far-reaching art movements of the past three decades.” In regard to the world of Hip-Hop, it no longer is a dominating force solely in the United States, but has become a widespread practice of handling unity and oppression across the globe. Shifting the focus to the Hip-Hop scene in Germany, since the 2000s through Hip-Hop, Germany has transformed into a powerhouse! Viel Spass!

Konigin des Jungles
Hallo alle zusammen habt ihr mich vermisst 😉 Also packt euren Koffer und kommt mit, wir fliegen nach Venus! Did you miss me? Re Imagine yourself at the Frankfurter Flughafen, you just checked your bags (Koffer), and are relaxing at the Gate getting ready to board Deutscher Jam. Reminder: I don’t know what you want but i’m going to give you what you need. Ich weiss nicht was ihr wollt aber ich gib euch was ihr braucht. I’m your Captain, Janell, and today’s show is going to transport us to the planet Venus. Today is going to be all about the ladies as KeKe states in her song Fugazi, Hautfarbe Energie (Skin color: Energy) so I hope you feel the vibrations these women are bringing through the radio waves. We are going to be starting with Eunique, one of my favorite artists from the Hansestadt meaning Hamburg.
Konig Kobra(Queen Kobra) or as her fans say, the gefahrliche kikikiki Kobra, is a young German Artist from the city of Hamburg bringing modern German realness. I find Eunique to be an inspiration and motivation because she shows through her road to success that with hard work, dedication, and patience your dreams can become a reality. She is the Queen Kobra and created a Kobra Militar full of women who serve the purpose of pushing and empowering one another in their journey to success. It is very clear that Eunique strives for female empowerment and her motivation is towards growth for not only herself but also for her Kobras. Now, that is the energy we need as soon as Deutscher Jam lands. Feel the power behind the voices of these women. Again Deutscher Jam is here to strip all the stereotypes you may imagine when picturing Germany and get you a real look into the culture.
Touching back to 1989, if we look at the last 30 years and the evolution of a classic German Hip-Hop artist we see it has diversified into an entity of its own. The course of the past 30 years has moved quickly on a micro level, showcasing Germany’s ability to adapt to foreign resources and mold them into their own. There is so much unexplored in regards to German Hip-Hop today, this genre that was brought from across the Atlantic in the 1980s, and how it has pushed a youth movement to restore and rebrand the face of a nation. After the “Wende” turning point, as Germans say, Deutschrap German rap had not had much air time. The Fantastischen Vier were commercially the 1st to receive public fame in Hip-Hop with their song “Sie ist Weg” which sparked a push on the charts. The girl group, Tic Tac Toe, with their song “Ich find dich scheisse” (I think you’re sh***y) was a statement to women that they should never, as a German says, put a “Blatt vor’m mund” or censor yourself for society. 
The evolution of a German female artist has grown immensely addressing social issues, male toxicity, struggles for respected independence, involvement or representation in politics, und so weiter. These women have started a revolution against their established society, reshaping exactly what being a bad *** is. Post World War ll, Germans struggled with national identity and Hip-Hop created a platform for women, but more specifically it ignited a change and motivated a rebranding of their community. The current generation of women are reshaping everything about what being “Made in Germany” truly looks like! As the show takes off, enjoy the intergalactic vibrations and sounds this universe has to offer before we dive into what the show has to offer.

Kaffeeklatsch mit Andrew
Hallo alle zusammen macht’s euch bequem weil Heute gibts noch einen Kaffeeklatsch und zur Gast haben wir Andrew. Welcome to todays Kaffeeklatsch as our Guest we have Andrew der Experte aus dem Hauptstadt Berlin. Imagine yourself kicking it with us at the cafe *drink something* for memories sake I would like to transcend you to Cafe Journal. 
A Cafe in the 7th District of Vienna that radiates the type of energy that will spark soul conversations that carry you into a universe of possibilities. Cafe Journal is one of my favorite places to meet up with Freunde not because of the bier oder schnapps but because unlike Germany you can smoke cigarettes indoors. It creates a vibe and like always the owner happens to be the Oma at the teke is having a Bier with guests. I love it the art of people watching it is so mysterious yet intriguing to do. You begin to recognize cultural habits, dialects, moods, stories, and energies. One can not help but feed off of this energy for it adds food to thought as if one isn’t already in a constant philosophical state abroad. What i love about Germany along with Austria and other countries is lust to constantly question things come into discussions or as a topic. Nothing can be answered with a simple yes or no hence why Germans hate small talk,I Agree. Speaking without purpose is a major turn off and as every German will attest if you willing to step into the ring of discussion you better have done your homework. Pulling us into what our kaffeeklatsch’s purpose is. We want you to feel at home when your listening into the show give you not what you want but more so what you need. When you notice how europeans hate being rushed it’s because a filling conversation should not be rushed for it nourishes your soul. Kaffeeklatsches can go in a million directions let’s see what me and Andrew have to talk about in this Klatsch for you guys. A little knowledge for the day to pull into you next kaffeeklatsch with anyone is this in reference to Hip-Hop influence of Germans youth. The creation of German community centers is what helped pushed Germany in a positive direction through its use of combing Hip-Hop in its locations. Community and youth centers were established at local levels, yet organized mainly by the Bundesvereinigung Soziokultureller Zentren (Federal Association of Socio-Cultural Centers). Their aim was to be an outlet for artistic-creative self-determination, cultural empowerment, and integration of cultures Hip-Hop shaped the society of the German youth by becoming an outlet of education, diversification, socialization, of different classes in a creative space. 
Hip-Hop pushed the society post world war to becoming a solution to nativist extremism amongst the youth. Germany used the genre to redirect the youth’s aggression and anger in Hip-Hop giving them a mechanism to express themselves through their voices. The nationwide transmission of eastern Hip-Hop stimulated the desire to exchange musical ideas and information. Hip-Hop in Germany is what through education helped encourage the youth to experiment with spray cans, learn dance moves, and express themselves musically and lyrically. The biggest example of the cultural melting pot of ideas that lead into a greater artistic outcome is the well-known neighborhood Kreuzberg apart of the metropolitan city Berlin. To add to this portion of what has been said it what has not, what has not been said is how much those youth centers have aided in creating and allowed fellow Germans to reach fame within the country.

Alles oder Nix Konzept
Guten Tag alle zusammen I hope you enjoy the vibes that Deutscher Jam will be bringing to you today. Schnallt euch an fasten your seatbelts because jetzt reden wir klartext touching back Germany has grown so much as a whole from destruction, trauma , war and dark history. Since the emergence of Hip Hop back in 1989 the country has taken a sound reworked it into its own to help current generations redesign exactly what being German is. 
Der Motto “Alles oder Nix” translates to the concept that free space is not given it must be taken. It is no accident that alternate visions, concepts and creativity reached a high point during the 1980s in West Berlin and during 1990s in the eastern part of the inner City”. The urban situation of the cities used the genre as a vehicle to have their voices heard from each of angle of the country through its “underground scene” and “rebellion is an important factor in the reasoning on why Germany let alone Berlin has become such a leading competitor in being a part of the global marketing of Music. Berlin is not so much a global elite in the aspect of creative industries yet keeps its authenticity in thriving through its creative entrepreneurs. The course of the past 30 years has been moved quickly on a micro level showcasing Germanys ability to adapt and take a foreign resource recreate it into its own and use it to help a country thrive through its people and showcases to the world what it is capable of.There is so much unexplored in regards to Hip-Hop today the genre that was brought from across the Atlantic in the 1980s has pushed a youth movement to restore and rebrand the face of a nation. After the “Wende” turning point as Germans say, Deutschrap German rap had not had much existence. The girl group, Tic Tac Toe, with their song “Ich find dich scheisse” is the blueprint that showed women to never, as German says, put a “Blatt vor’m mund” or censor yourself for society hence my love for SXTN reinforcing that concept.A new generation of Germans erupted into the rap game pushing to show the face of diversity Germany had to offer. This generation of Germans are looking to rebrand the face of Germany by pushing with a movement of voices to repaint a picture of what being means today.
Touching back remember Kraftwerks song”Computer love”? The rise of techno and recently also Hip-Hop has created a successful cultural district with rapid cultural transformation since the Fall of the wall stressing the importance of the creative class. As stated numerous times if we go back in time to revisit 1989 we can actively see how Hip-Hop slowly slipped through the cracks of Germanys censored walls through the radio, troops, and film. Berlin along with many other cultural hubs of Germany has managed to showcases through music how they have became a global player in the music industry due to its dynamic club and music subculture s ever evolving creative muse.

Durch die Iris sah ich Ewigkeit
Hallo alle zusammen, as the title of the show states “One can see eternity through the iris”. Deutscher Jam is designed to give the feeling of kicking it with me at the Cafe meaning i strive to keep the show as relaxed *Entspannt* as possible. This second living room feeling through listening to the show either on 97.3 FM or live streaming should create the ambience you need. As i state on the show numerous times I don’t know what you want but I am going to give you what you need. Today’s description of the show will be personal in deliverance opposed to usual historical facts.Throughout the show while I create the mood I want you to keep in mind two things. First all of its stereotypes, that Germans eat only sausage, wear lederhosen, are humorless, that Bavaria resembles what the country looks like, and is solely a white country. Second through taking you to a places that my dual lenses can see I am showing you how Germany has transformed itself by current generations actively rebrand Germany through use of music in order to separate itself from its dark history. Germans have been actively working on ground level to rebrand who they are and what it means to be German. Being German is being diverse and dynamic we see this through how artists have reshaped what being German means through storytelling in music. Since post World War ll Germans have struggled with national identity, and Hip-Hop has created a platform for Germans to ignite change and rebrand the face of their society.
This current generation of Hip-Hop artists are reshaping everything about what being “Made in Germany” means and how they are actively embracing the language instead of shaming it. The passion that pushes Deutscher Jam is the child like energy of constantly being in “Aww” of the country and through speaking discovery the endless possibilities of growth and harmony that could be established through expressing my gratitude.Discussing works for one society and the other helps narrow down possible solutions for the future. So as discussed last show the “Kaffeklatsch” look we’ve seen this work and what we believe everyone would be a solution to the societies longing for happiness by giving them an active mental image. So on the show when I say let me take you their, what I am saying is turn on your creative imagination and get ready for the trip into eternity.

Kaffeeklatsch mit Andrew
Much the country has evolved into a modern-day musical powerhouse. I am making this bold statement, for I have personally 
watched and am a part a generation of Germans who are pushing to reshape the picture of Germany through the use of Hip-Hop. The only research that has been done in regards to Hip-Hop in Germany revolves around the emergence of the genre in the country.There is intense focus on how American troops played an intricate role in introducing Hip-Hop and its multiple facets to a German speaking society. We get insight on how East and West Germany have taken a genre from across the Atlantic used it for social, political, and economic issues.In Germany, through Hip-Hop, the youth created a movement called the “Jugendbewegung”. Let us get back to the basics and focus on where it all started back in a time where Germany was still divided. This new genre of music was received and adopted differently between the two states political and cultural translation. Where the West “Federal Republic of Germany” was more liberal and integrated transatlantic flows of commodities, people, and images, the East “ German Democratic Republic” still clenched in the tight grip of the Soviet Union, only received glimpses of the global sounds coming through the Iron Curtain. Regardless of the state of the Republic in the mid-1980s, the Hip-Hop scene emerged through the youth culture. 
The influx just as infusion of American troops stationed in Europe after World ll brought a wide range of music with them while stationed in Germany. The Americans combined with newly created German culture policies help in creating those state sanctioned cultural hubs for German youth that supported performance of musical arts in both the FRG and GDR.Troops that were stationed in some of the most metropolis cities such as Heidelberg, Frankfurt, and Berlin were a key instrument in the development of Hip-Hop in the West. Between American DJs, rappers, and breakers combined with German youth, television, just as cinema became a crucial medium that communicated Hip-Hop culture to Germany. It is vital to know that Americans have played a huge role in the intricate creation of a blueprint that Germans have used to rework into their own version of what Hip-Hop is a German speaking society. Hip-Hop is the biggest youth culture movement that has ever happened, and Hip-Hop in Germany is bigger today than ever before. It is a movement that has been reworked for the past 40 years and developed into a multifaceted entity, and there are four major elements – DJ-ing, breakdancing, graffiti, and rap.
What we can watch today and why I propose focusing on the statement that I believe that Germany is a powerhouse in the music industry due to Hip-Hop.
