Career

Timi Hendrix (2020)

Timi Hendrix was born in 1983 in Herford under the real name Tim Weitkamp. As a rapper he appeared for the first time alongside Skinny Shef, Skome, DJ Fellbaum and Euram in the Bad Taste formation. In spring 2005 they released the album Rap saves the day , limited to 500 units , which is a collection of pieces from the previous three years. Shortly after the debut, the quintet broke up again. Timi Hendrix and Skinny Shef formed the duo Pimpulsiv from then on . Hoodstock EP and Hoetry LP were released on the 667 - One More Than The Devil label . In 2009 Weitkamp and Shef left the company to set up the Trailerpark label together with the DNP duo . First they released another album under the title HURZ as Pimpulsiv, before the first label sampler Crackstreet Boys was released at the end of the year . The album Hepatitis P followed in May 2010 . A year later, Skinny Shef withdrew to focus more on his studies.

In autumn 2012, Crackstreet Boys 2 was released , on which Trailerpark presented itself for the first time as a quartet of Alligatoah , Sudden , Basti and Timi Hendrix, which is stylistically based on boygroups with sung passages . A release with the rapper was ranked 22nd for the first time in the German album charts. At the end of the year, the four rappers presented Crackstreet Boys 2 as part of a fourteen-date tour. The Federal Testing Agency for Media Harmful to Young People indexed the album in the summer of the following year, which means that it can no longer be sold to minors. Nine of the total of thirteen songs on the album were affected by the indexing. In autumn 2014 Trailerpark completed the Sexualethically Disoriented Tour . The third part of the Crackstreet Boys series followed at the end of the year after the first decouples Stay in school and Dicks suck . The album, produced by well-known hip-hop musicians such as Tai Jason , Beatzarre , Djorkaeff and Gee Futuristic , reached number 4 in the German charts. It also hit the album charts in German-speaking countries.

In 2015 Timi Hendrix pushed his career as a solo musician. After the song Better Call Saul in the spring, he announced his debut album Zwei Zimmer, Küche, Bong . With the songs Intro , Mornings and Kaiser von China he released three video clips. Two rooms, kitchen, bong entered the album charts at number 7. In November and December he made a solo tour under the title Lost in Bat Country . He also founded the label Life Kills Slowly , on which he signed Das W, Sapient and Fehring Grau. The first publications were the EPs Wertvoll und Wegweiser by Das W. In 2017, Weitkamp's focus was again on working with Trailerpark . After the singles Poverty drives young people into pop music , Finally normal people , TP4L and You can die everywhere , the fourth album was released in October 2017. TP4L entered the charts at number 1 as the first album of the quartet . The four rappers also received a gold record for the single Stay in School .

In July 2018, Timi Hendrix's second solo album Tim Weitkamp Das Musical was released , which was delayed for more than a year due to the suicide of a friend. Accompanied by the split video from Intro , Mein Musical Laufen and Psycho as well as the uncoupling Thousand Second Chances , We Are Family and 1 Million Messer , it reached number 3 in the German charts. At the same time as the album, he released the EP Cloud Kinski . In the summer of 2019, Trailerpark announced its dissolution. The final concerts scheduled for 2020 under the title “Golden End” had to be postponed by one year due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany .

style

Timi Hendrix uses affirmative texts about violence, rape or drug use in a provocative way. Similar to the character Slim Shady for the rapper Eminem , he acts as an alter ego for Tim Weitkamp. He works out the lyrics in his head. Without first writing it down, he then records it in the studio. So he works in a similar way to Jay-Z or Lil Wayne . In terms of style, the rapper sometimes makes use of reggae , rock music , dubstep or hits . With the EP Cloud Kinski he orientates himself on trap and cloud rap , while attacking prominent representatives of the currents such as Yung Hurn and RIN . In the course of his musical career, Weitkamp worked with numerous well-known hip-hop musicians. In addition to the long-term collaboration with Alligatoah, Sudden and Basti von Trailerpark, there were also songs together with Elch, Sapient, Das W, Fehring Grau, DNP, Casper , Abroo , SDP , Prinz Pi , JAW , Patrick on purpose , Lakmann One , Morlockk Dilemma , Karate Andi , Mach One , Bobby Liebling and Myka 9 from the Freestyle Fellowship group.

reception

Timi Hendrix's debut album Zwei Zimmer, Küche, Bong received mixed reviews from critics. For laut.de , the rapper moves “ a fine line between artistry and pure provocation ”. It stands out “ from the broad mass of monotonous sounding rappers in a refreshing way ”. While both Weitkamp's technique and his punchlines are characterized by Rap.de as “ flawless ”, the “ ghosts ” are likely to differ on the content . Almost all of the songs “ contain well-calculated breaking of taboos around drug consumption and anti-sociality, packed in lots of black humor. "

According to Tonspion's criticism, on Tim Weitkamp Das Musical , on the other hand, “ the positive surprises ” predominate . Over the course of the season, “ versatile musical ideas ” alternate. The rapper also succeeds in his “ most personal work to date. “From the point of view of laut.de, the songs on the album lose their charm“ when Hendrix ventures completely into the personal ”. According to criticism by MZEE, on the other hand, on his second album, the listener “gets the feeling for the first time that they are really learning something about the person behind the character Timi Hendrix. “Already in the intro it becomes clear that Weitkamp“ does not aim to be antisocial and shocking at any price. "Rather, it is about" to demonstrate who he is and what he stands for. "
