Talk:Bushido (rapper)

Originally translated from DE... there was an article about him in the New York Times, featured on the Drudge Report, and then he got in trouble the same day in Austria. Bizarre. Tfine80 05:57, 9 August 2005 (UTC)


 * I guess the incident in Linz happended a bit earlier... Strange that it was not mentioned in the NYT article. Tfine80 17:23, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

2fik i need sombody to tell me what s the logo what s the word

Homophobic degenerate
Bushido is a homophobic degenerate. His lyrics include anti-gay slurs. This should be mentioned in the article. People should know what kind of a man he is.66.65.129.159 (talk) 05:46, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Just give us a source,a credible source.

Sources!?! No problem:
 * Reference regarding his homophobic, misogynic attitude: http://www.laut.de/CDUGruene/Bushido-taugt-nicht-zum-Vorbild!/03-08-2007
 * References regarding his aggression against gay people: http://www.taz.de/1/berlin/artikel/1/frauen-holt-die-baerte-raus/ and http://www.morgenpost.de/berlin/article1121800/Bushido_bekommt_Aerger_bei_Homosexuellen_Demo.html
 * Article about his general homophobic approach and about his explicit insults of gay people at a festival: http://www.taz.de/?id=start&art=3733&id=alltag-artikel&cHash=ce93c4a44c

Is this enough? --- 134.159.154.66 (talk) 00:13, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * These sources are OK. It is a well known fact and the de article is describing his homophobic trash texts as well. It's obviously part of the very core of his artistic identity.--Nemissimo (talk) 23:13, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Nonsense
All genres of music has always been an expressive outlet for people across ethnic lines; primarily the unprivileged in the United States. However, in the beginning German hip hop fans gravitated toward this "foreign" form of expression and related towards their oppression as citizens of a communist dictatorship.

There was hardly ANY hiphop or rap in the former socialist DRG, at least compared to western Germany. And that was definitely not a "communist dictatorship" - in the early nineties rap in Germany was usually either politically slated to the left or not political at all. 88.74.28.214 (talk) 14:33, 21 September 2008 (UTC)Tim

I removed the line because it is total nonsense. I also removed a line in this discussion because it was just some bushido-hater (which is not bad, but should be posted here). 78.52.30.37 (talk) 21:58, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

I might add, the english in this article is a disgrace to wiki. I am not gonna devote my precious time to polish Bushidos wiki article - but this has to be changed before any discussion about its contents is due. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.203.198.191 (talk) 23:11, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Best seller rapper in Europe
I suppressed this cause if he has sold 2 millions, he has sold well, ok, but MC Solaar from France has sold more than 5 millions album, and if you include bands, bands like IAM, Supreme NTM, have each sold more than 3 millions albums. French Rapper Passi has sol more than 2 millions album. L'Ecole du Micro d'Argent from IAM sold at least 1 200 000 copies alone.

Check sources like http://www.infodisc.fr/ and others about french rap if you don't believe.

Berlins Most Wanted reunion
It isn't really a reunion because the only rapper from the original BMW group is Bushido... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ich901 (talk • contribs) 16:31, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Bushido logo
is it possible to copy the logo from the German article in to this one? I don't know how to do it and if it is allowed.

2008-2009 section
Some of the dates are unclear; also, in the final sentence, it is unclear whether "the video" refers to a music video of the single, or the aforementioned movie (Zeiten ändern dich), and the given reference links to a webpage that no longer exists (or else has a gateway through a porn site). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:4CA0:200:3:200:5EFE:8D54:4514 (talk) 09:55, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

Nationalism and racism?
In the article it says Bushido is frequently being criticized in media for being nationalistic and racist. I, as a German who is into this kind of music for at least 10 years, encounter this criticism for the first time. Never have I heard him say anything racist or nationalistic and I have watched many many hours of interviews. Please provide a source which clearly suggests he is racist. The quote from a rap line where he calls himself a leader "like A", even if "A" stood for Hitler, is not nearly enough. He might very well compare himself to a dictator but not share any of the propositions in question such as racism i.e. "some ethnicities are genetically superior to others". Again, I highly doubt he holds that belief and I have, even though my longstanding interest in his person, never ever witnessed him saying anything racist. He definately has had misogynistic lyrics and uses deragoratory slangs for homosexuals but a racist? I think that goes way too far and the text doesn't provide any sources for that claim other than a single lyric that doesn't necessarily lead to that conclusion. --.&#61;talk&#61;.
