lyrics

Modern gladiators fill up forums.
Since you’re a juryman for a casting show your flows improved.
MC’s aren’t in the house anymore, they are in people’s mouths.
Porters in Atlantic ask you where you’re going (Atlantic is a hotel in Hamburg where Udo Lindenberg lives, a german songwriter which some rappers that went pop and now make singer/songwriter music work with or admire).
Somewhere between Smudo (member of a famous german pop-rap group, quiet MC Hammerish from the very beginning) and Udo, plastic surgeons from Pluto take you to their laboratory.
Even outside of all gender roles, the cleanest subjects have to pay duty on their dirt,
Only scarce articles get delivered.
Acoustic bands turn wack rappers to lead singers.
Don’t tell me nothing about rap, you babbler!
Pull those fat laces out of your bathing slippers!
Step out of the whirlpool!
Retrogott Mic Mogul-
In the land of the funk fakers, flavor’s consul-
Fuck the press.
I send my dispatch via vinyl press,
With Kutmasta.
 
I remain fresh like dead bodies in the swamp
I enlace the mic like a boa
I enslave your freestyle, volunteers step up!
You get on the mic with piss in your Eyes and shit in your ear
Brainwash and ideological coloring in poly-color
MC Plastic and DJ styrofoam on promotour in Mururoa
Your new style is a genetic defect
Tomorrow everybody’s trying to have it too.
The whole backstage is talking about it, everybody’s asking
You’ll have to cancel that interview.
Those discussions you have with god about love
Remain Hieroglyphics in a plastic pyramid
Your mummified ego awakens in mental home
Individualism is  just an inefficient weapon of mass destruction

I'm more about the pressure of exposure that is revealed in
the struggle for attention, success, acknowledgement. I think
especially in music and arts, people fight for that grace of their audience.
So, all those big egos exposing themselves as the best, the strongest, the hardest, etc.
actually are just shown up by the media.
A rapper who point himself out as very interesting for other people is actually interested in other people.
It's about the failure of the narcissistic attitude of artists.
In all their good attributes, stars and wannabe stars are just shown up
to an audience who lacks those positive attributes, and that makes them
mediocre, that makes those strong (mostly) men being modern gladiators.
