I have no idea. Either they are white rappers like eminem but with a shift towards white trash stuff or they are nazis. But Im not sure. They dont say anything racist though in the song. They just say they are trash and live in the ghetto and that they are eastern germans which is marginalised.

I looked up a translation of the lyrics. A lot of resentment coming through.

But not different then black or minority rap. They just say they are poor and live in a ghetto and that they have it hard. Just like the minority rappers do. I dont consider it racist.

East Germans emulating black American ghetto culture?

Now I've officially seen everything. Are they gonna do a drive-by on the West Germans in a Mecedes Benz?
