what a lovely metaphor, and so true! both jeswa and funkstörung have strong ae influences, but a completely different point of view. i personally like the jeswa aspect better. i have a little problem with the term hip-hop. i've listened to hip-hop for ages and think of it as a term covering not only rap music (and what they call turntablism), but a wider range of sounds carrying the same kind of mindstate. most hip-hop heads are really conservative about this, but then again, hip-hop culture hasn't been very open-minded for a long time. nowadays, it's all about keeping it real. thank god we still have hieroglyphics.
