Max Herre feat. Cro and Clueso - Fühlt sich wie fliegen an
Perhaps surprising to the unexpecting reader, Fühlt sich wie fliegen an is a collaboration between three generations of German rappers.
Max Herre rose to fame as a member of old-school conscious rap group Freundeskreis in the '90s, who embedded their political messages in melodious, multilingual tracks such as Esperanto. It's only with his solo career that Herre has moved away from hip hop and into pop music.
Clueso, who sings the hooks of this track, too has his roots in hip hop, although he moved into pop music early on. Here's one of his solo tracks, Keinen Zentimeter.
Finally, there's Cro, whose recent breakthrough album Raop - Rap and Pop - already carries the admission of pop music. Critically largely panned (one reviewer called it "grade A middle class music"), Raop seems nonetheless to resonate with youth and reached the top of the charts. Cro's idyllic world as seen in Du was quite hilariously parodied in the video accompanying the hit single of another young rapper, Alligatoah, Willst du ("Will you... take drugs with me?").
