Slovenian Gangsta Rappers

Click play, beyotch.

One of the biggest challenges an American faces when moving to Slovenia is having to suffer through lame local imitations of gangsta rap. I know that wiggaz are a global phenomenon, but it’s especially tough to take them seriously when they’re cruising through small Alpine villages. And forget about popping caps in asses here — according to this site, Slovenia was the safest country on the planet in the late 1990s when it came to murders.

Hell, yeah!

    Please say that such artists are only languishing at the bottom of whatever chart they find themselves in. [Children as well, though? Bleak future for music, mhm.]

    Ben Best is brilliant! My favorite part - “It is questionable that the murder rate is really so low in Slovenia — the rate of reporting of murder may be low.â€? I’ve personally witnessed three, maybe four, unreported murders in Ljubljana. Of course they don’t get reported – it’s practically Russia over there – what with the mafia overlords, paid off politicians and corrupt policemen. So annoying when I go back – tripping over all those decomposing lifeless unreported bodies.

    You guys are all crazy.. Russian mafia??? Slovenia is one of the safest coutries in EU.. You can walk around at night without having to fear something would happen to you.. You really should think about what you’re saying.. Come on over and see for yourselves…

    Greets!

    Ehm, Tina?
    Patrick was being sarcastic there, ridiculing the statement from Ben Best.
    Please don’t shoot me for pointing that out to you (and if you do, at least don’t leave my body unreported). ;-)

    Patrick’s comment works even better when run through the jive dialectizer. So does this whole page, for that matter.

    Yes wiggers are extremelly lame creatures. And what’s sad about it is that they actually think they’re the coolest thing to hit the Earth since Vanilla Ice raped a Queen song. I had a school-mate in secondary school who was convinced he was a reincarnation of 2Pac. Nigga’ pleeease. :P

    Well patrick has forgotten that if there is unreported murders in SLovenia, then there are probably 10 times more elswhere (u will be sleeping with fishes or built in a bridges pillar od have concrete shoes). What the hell r u talking about. Check this thingy here (www.disbealig.com/) for a traslata from me all times best favourite Ali-G.

    WTF is going on in Washington D.C., Detroit and other nice&interesting places??? That percentage translated into case of Slovenia would mean roughly 1000 murders per annum. I had some general idea that big (USA) cities are not the safest of places, but that they are so fucked up…

    Michael! Where do I click play? No video here! :(((

    I don’t know wether to laugh or to cry when I see Slovenian wiggaz. They are especially thick on the ground where I work. There’s a high scholl across the street (Å ubiÄ?eva gimnazija) and you see all kinds of Tupac-wannabes or Jay-Z lookalikes. And they all walk as if one of their legs was shorter, do these complicated handshakes and they end conversations with “word, stari” :))))

    Used to be that you could shizzolate your verbal shizzz using Snoop Dog’s shizzolator, linked here. But, unfortunately, the fun has stopped as the site can’t be brought up., so you have to talk that jive-turkey talk.

    I think Slon in sadež made the ultimate parody of Slovenian rap: after that, no Slovenian rap is possible any more …

    BTW, great link to the dialectizer!

    But still, people buy it… This tells a lot about the current state of the nation, or the world for that matter. The question is: where does this imitation of a bad imitation of a worse imitation lead to? I can see why all things “retro” are considered so cool recetly. Few things new are cool..

    Oh no! My nephew is a wigga! I did not know this was an anomaly.  We just thought that ALL kids looked like that now in the US. Oh wait, they DO. It seems that once boys here get to 12 or 13 they morph into this slack-jawed, slouching teenager who starts sporting a baseball cap turned to the side, baggy clothes, clunky ‘bling’….  Then they start throwing gang signs everywhere while using the word "word" a lot. This is somewhat problematic since both our murder rate and gang problems are on the rise in Minneapolis so you can’t tell if it’s a real "gangsta" or not until you see him climb into his mommy’s $50,000 ride for his drive home to the ‘burbs.The good news is that once these little posers hit age 20 or so they seem to grow out of it.  But at least we have their pictures preserved forever on the web so we can remind them of how stupid they looked (this from the former punk-goth-chick who also knows how stupid she looked and thanks GOD there was no internet when she was a teenager.  Christ I’m old.)

    The Uzbek gangstas are adorable. I’ve found tons of Central Asian rap lately. I don’t so much like it as I think it’s cute. The most novel stuff I’ve run into lately has been Yakut rap.

    I remember hearing Bosnian rap and also Croatian rap, and it was way better than American rap! WAAAY better because the language rhymes better. Still the whole white people being imitation black people just doesn’t work. White men got no @$&!
    I’ve heard Yakut rap and Tuvan rap, both really different, especially Tuvan rap with all that throat singing thing going on!

    what are you talking about lol. first of all in former yugoslavia the people arent even known as caucasian man. there known as adriatic. its a whole different racial gender. a wigger means the person has the desire to be black. just because someone has this style doesnt mean anything. the only reason this style came into play was because of prison, where prisoners were forced to wear baggy clothes. im from yugoslavia, and the facts you have about it are farfetched. research a little more and figure out your stuff. then start talkin
