The world is sick
One eats the steak, the other nothing'

Disastar, "Sick"

People freak out because the Brabus is there.
People are ticking brown because poverty is there

Xatar, "Iz Da"

Many German rap lyrics are about money and success, but it becomes much more interesting when you look at where poverty gets a lyrical stage in German rap. The goal of many rappers is the skyline, but this talk takes a closer look at the curb. We want to know what you can learn from Deutschrap about poverty: How does it shape artists, why and how do they address poverty in their lines - or not.

In her talk, Omeima Garci also offers a fan and affected person's perspective: How is it in real politics to be affected by poverty and to be a German rap fan?
