review
For Nora Hantzsch, who is known as rapper Sookee and speaks out against homophobia and sexism in hip-hop, Fettes Brot made a track for the first time against the anti-gay stance of German rap. Despite the high chart placement, some Bavarian radio stations refused to play the song.
“The bread turned the supposed need into an actual virtue, they created their own identity in which no stylistic or content-related boundaries were accepted. Calling yourself a 'gay girl' was brave. "
“Unlike usual, the group in the two-thousanders sounds more aggressive and uncensored than usual on this single. It doesn't seem to bother the fans, on the contrary. As soon as it says 'Special Unit - Combat Operation', the catchy tune is back at the start. "
“Gay girls' impressively proves that even after a long time the loaves are a bit out of the scene: Based on the disdain for 'girls' or' gays' often heard by other hip-hoppers, the three rappers quickly met each other with sovereign irony Titles accepted - and stormed into the charts. The very fact to call yourself gay is an affront. "
