Juice (spelling: JUICE ) is a German online hip-hop magazine. Between 1997 and 2019, 195 print editions of the magazine were published by Piranha Media .
Overview
Numerous interviews with rappers and reviews of current publications are printed in each issue. In addition, one album per issue is named album of the month by the editorial team . Another category is the battle of the ear : an album that is viewed very differently by the editors in terms of its quality receives two reviews from two different members of the Juice editorial team. Albums in the juice are rated according to the crown principle, with a maximum rating of six crowns possible.
Every year readers give the Juice Awards to national and international artists.
The magazine, which was founded in 1997, was initially published six times a year in 1998, ten times a year between 1999 and 2001, eleven times a year from 2002 to 2010, six times a year from the third quarter of 2010, eight times a year between the fourth quarter of 2011 and the beginning of 2016, and from then on to last edition again six times a year. In the first quarter of 2001, the Juice sold 51,209 times. In the quarter 3/2015 last reported to IVW, a good 13,000 copies were sold. The last printed version of the juice was published in November 2019 with issue no. 195. Since then, the magazine has only been operated in digital format.
Fixed sections of the printed magazine
Vs. The Beats
In the “… vs. the Beats ”, different songs were played to an artist. These are evaluated by the artists. The hip-hop musicians were rappers, producers or non-genre musicians and celebrities.
All Time Classic
Another column of Juice magazine was the All Time Classic area in many issues of the magazine . A one- to two-page report summarized the most important information about a rapper or a crew who made decisive contributions to hip-hop culture or who released albums that are now known as classics. There were reports on: Tuff Crew, Coldcut , DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince , Original Concept, The WhoRidas , LSD, Newcleus , Hijack , DJ Red Alert , Kenny Dope Gonzalez , X-Clan , K-Rino , Boogie Down Productions , Henry Chalfant & Arabian Prince.
Juice CD
The Juice CD was a sampler that was included with the Juice magazine . The CDs contain songs by various artists who can be assigned to the hip hop music genre. The first Juice CD was included in issue no. Up to the 66th edition of the Juice CD, ten titles were to be found on each CD. For the September 2006 edition this number was increased to 15; Most recently there were 12 songs on the CD. The songs were often exclusive recordings, which are referred to as Juice Exclusives . Juice CD No. 60 and No. 78 (edition 100) were the first Juice CDs to contain only exclusive tracks. The 82nd edition of the CD was a Dynamite Deluxe Special, on which artists (Max Herre, Azad, Marsimoto and others) remixed the classic Deluxe Soundsystem . In 2014 Eko Fresh released the 1000 Bars EP , which set the record for the longest German rap song. The 1000 Bars EP contains an approximately one hour song with 1000 verses and was only released on the Juice CD.
6 crown albums
26 albums received the highest rating of six crowns in the print edition of Juice. Up to the 100th edition of the Juice this rating was given 19 times, but the edition erroneously named only 18 of these albums in a retrospective listing (the album The Isolationist from June 1999 was missing ). The 26 highest rated albums are:
In the 100th edition of Juice , eight albums, which had originally been rated by Juice with less than six crowns, were subsequently awarded the highest rating because, in retrospect, they have a classic status. These are:
| Interpreter | album | Output of the initial assessment |
|---|---|---|
| OutKast | Aquemini | June 1998 |
| Absolute beginners | Bambule | June 1998 |
| Dr. Dre | 2001 | February 2000 |
| Common | Like water for chocolate | May 2000 |
| Jay-Z | The blueprint | November 2001 |
| 50 cents | Get Rich or Die Tryin ' | February 2003 |
| Jay-Z | The Black Album | February 2004 |
In the May 2009 issue, a comprehensive article appeared about the group Beastie Boys , in which the albums of that formation were (in part again) rated. The album Paul's Boutique , which was released years before the first issue of Juice, received the rating “six crowns”.
