"...Radical distinction from the mainstream and its values, total ignorance of rules that make life difficult. Life and career, not all kudos in the hip hop scene either. Authenticity versus cultural industry, market, products, spectacle, there's no autonomy..."

"...What do you want to do, hey, it can't go on like this. I don't let anything stop me, climb the ladder at any price. A whole load want us to fail, but sorry, no. I won't do you the favour, I won't allow it. We live on the streets, as criminals, with the beat..."

"...Aggro Berlin made you famous, but rappers from Munich are laughed at. You try to define a new city image, not to lose face completely in the scene. Putting on a ghetto image isn't taken seriously in Munich, but you wouldn't get the attention of the media if you didn't. The central idea in Munich is the perfect world, and the mainstream doesn't care that anything different falls by the wayside..."

"...Look, Munich's got something to offer now, Bz2 for the new south, Double Effect and lots of bad guys. Back in the Stone Age, I'll light the fire now, mate. This is Münchner Freiheit, deli paranoia, mate. Munich chabos, give me your hand, you join with us and form a wall. 089 flies through the country like a bullet from a gun. Bang..."

"...HipHop makes space for nuanced positions That's why the postures are so polarized. Criticism, provocation, reproduction, intention, Political rap right up to commercial, belief, product, heart or pain..."

"...I hustle and fight here in this game, I often cry, but this man remains standing. I learned early how to stand on my own feet, to count the notes, but the cops became a problem. Yes, I climb into the ring and feel the biting wind. I do my own thing and see how far it gets me Homie, I write scenes, I swear this shit is for real. I take it as seriously as if it was my own child..."
