romanian hip hop is kinda dead, although the hopelessness of the social environment could be a fertile background. it is certainly not my thing, so this top is not based on sales or popularity or even actuality. i like authenticity, wit and balls.
1. mc vexatu vexx + deceneu remixed by one of the heavy weights of the electronic scene, matze. an all time favourite!
2. deceneu, a fucking genius! an amazing lyricist, he does not hurry for the usual misogynistic and misanthropic jokes. a distinctive voice and a pun-heavy and somehow endearing style. unforgettable!
3. raku, another distinctive voice (among others, he rolls his r’s). he’s like an unfulfilled promise in my book: could do great but hasn’t reached his peak yet. below, with ombladon, from parazitii
4. guess who, a relative new comer (see also the production values of the video)
5. machomen b.u.g. mafia
enjoy 5 samples of relevant, untranslated romanian hip hop! imo

iarta-ma, dar consider ca ce spui tu aici nu e corect, “kinda dead”. Parerea mea e ca e foarte viu, foarte variat, lumea incepe sa inteleaga din ce in ce mai multe din muzica asta si sa isi dea aportul in mentinerea ei in viata. Daca ar fi vreodata sa moara, cred ca din cauza ta si a oamenilor ca tine s-ar intampla asta.

corect, insa, atunci cand scrii asa ceva, se presupune ca stii despre ce vorbesti, ca ai argumente. Pe cand tu declari ca “it is certainly not my thing”.

ha, nu e Deceneu pe primul loc. Acum, off the top of my head, un top 5 ar arata asa:
1. Cedry2k
2. Doc
3. Deceneu
4. Vexxatu Vexx (nu norzeatic)
5. Deliric 1
no offense, dar nu ma intereseaza “your stuff”, doar postul asta.
