Bundeswehr in crisis areas, floods on the Ahr and the Alm of Arminia Bielefeld, which is now called Schüco. And heartbreak, of course. All hot topics for Casper. After the glorious “Champions” tour in the summer of 2019 with Marteria, he retired to a think tank. Most recently he was in the USA. And that has to go now. This is how the emo rapper becomes a moral authority. A contemporary diagnostician who digs even deeper into the style box.
A contemporary diagnostician who digs even deeper into the style box
The excursion with his Reutlingen buddy Tua, where falsetto singing and rap lines embrace (“TNT”), or the seven-minute psycho-epic “Fabian”, which rolls on like a symphony, is really great. But there are also echoing stadium choirs like in “Zwiebel & Mett” and conceited murmurs about the Iraq conflict like in “Billie Jo”. A split impression remains: here brilliant moments, there overloaded preaching. You can’t really separate them. The idea machine bubbles and likes to overheat at times. This is how fans get the whole Casper, the all-rounder. The rest is composed of an individual playlist.
