Tick ​​rap

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zeckenrap is a subgenre of German hip hop that deals with politically left-wing issues such as anti-fascism , feminism and queer issues. The word tick rap is derived from the originally derogatory term tick , which arose in the right-wing extremist environment and is used to offend people who think differently, especially leftists and punks .

history

In the early days of German hip-hop in the 1980s, following the American model, the focus was on political character, in the form of texts about racism and everyday problems in socially disadvantaged areas, and was therefore more politically left-wing. In the 1990s, the political issues faded into the background due to a more commercial hip-hop. Nevertheless, there was still political content from groups like Advanced Chemistry or Anarchist Academy . The HipHop Partizan network ensured a stronger establishment of rap in the left-wing scene in the 2000s. The hip-hop collective Tick-Tick-Boom contributed to the spread of the term tick rap from 2012. From 2012 to 2015 they regularly organized a tick rap gala. The term Zeckenrap was invented by the Hamburg band Neonschwarz , also part of the Tick-Tick-Boom collective, in order to "counter the negative cliché in the designation of leftists as 'ticks' by rights with something positive". Although some tick rappers get more attention now and then, tick rap is described by some as a fringe phenomenon, which does not play a major role in the rest of the hip-hop scene.

Left radicalism

In a study commissioned by the Research and Advice Center on Terrorism / Extremism of the Federal Criminal Police Office, tick rap and right-wing rock from the political right and militant Salafist naschid are examined. In the course of this investigation, an "emotionalized and sometimes dehumanizing image of the enemy with explicit calls for violence" against right-wing extremists, the police and the state was found in some tick rap song texts. In the Berlin Constitutional Protection Report 2012, an incident is mentioned where a group of around 50 people attacked a police car in Berlin-Kreuzberg and tried in vain to win around 150 visitors to a "tick rape gala".
