Biography
Curse has had a long musical past. In his youth, he played songs like "Zwei Mal In Den Kopf" in his former band Phat Kicks. In the 90ies, his band had gigs in the area of Stadthagen.
On his first album Feuerwasser (released in 2000), his lyrics have already been self-reflected and they have handled with things that had happened in his life, but also contained classical hip hop tracks such as representing- and battle-tracks. He especially raps about abortive relationships and admits mistakes to himself. For that reason, he is a kind of an outsider in the hip hop scene. The beats on Feuerwasser and many other releases are often produced by Sascha Bühren aka Busy.
In 2001, his next album Von Innen Nach Außen (which means something like "inside outwards") was released. On this album, Curse continued his style and the lead single "Lass uns doch Freunde sein" was distinguishing from current rap clichés and thus gaining attention even outside the hip hop scene. The German hip hop magazine Juice rewarded this album with the title "Best National Album". This album has even been released in Japan. It reached the German Top-Ten Charts.
On his third album Innere Sicherheit his style changed in many aspects: While the beats on his previous albums were mainly produced electronically, the beats on this album are produced with a wide range of instruments: From sophisticated instrumentals with classical transverse flutes (Ich Versteh Dich) over the Crossover song "Schocktherapie" to the very emotional "Und Was Ist Jetzt?", a piano ballad, there is an broad musical array, which emphasizes and accompanies with the deep lyrics. Also an increasing amount of political society-critical texts can be detected, whereas he is not ignoring his 'old' topics. In this frame also the single "Widerstand" has originated with the German Reggae-Artist Gentleman.
Also with the cooperation with upcoming talents he acquired renown. So, for instance, he afforded Italo Reno & Germany as soon as Stress und Trauma the opportunity to present themselves to a general public with guest appearances on his releases and not least by his artist platform Alles Real Records. Over the Years he made many collaborations with various German and international artists, among others with Kool Savas, Xavier Naidoo, Max Herre (Freundeskreis), Samy Deluxe, J-Luv, Braz (4Lyn), Patrice, Black Thought (The Roots), Pete Rock and RZA.
On December 2, 2005 Curse released his fourth Album Sinnflut. The lead single "Gangsta Rap" entered the German charts on position 25. On Sinnflut Curse returns to his roots, as if the experimental album Innere Sicherheit had never existed. With deep and very private songs as "Kein Weg zurück" or "Mein Leben", or the represent tracks like "Der Fluch" or "Broken Language Reloaded" featuring Samy Deluxe, which is a remake of the classic "Broken Language" from Smoothe Da Hustler Feat. Trigger Tha Gambler from 1995, the record has become homogeneous and multifaceted. Curse fulfilled himself a childhood dream with the features with Black Thought (of The Roots) and the producer legend Pete Rock. Latter has been persuaded to sing the hooks and shout outs, which he did for NAS before.
In 2005, between The Albums "Innere Sicherheit" and "Sinnflut", Curse did a Project with 3 swiss Rappers/Producers (Greis (PVP), Taz (Tafs), Claude (Sektion Chuchichästli)). What started as a short Vacation together, ended in a full-length Album. The Swiss Rappers Greis and Taz rapped in Swissgerman (Dialect), Curse in German, Claude was Producer.
In August 2006 Curse released his Best-of Album "Einblick zurück" - in English maybe "Impression Back". This Album covers his greatest hits from 1996 - 2006, ten years of German Hip Hop. The Album is more of a mixtape, the Tracks were mixed by DJ Kool GQ and DJ Kitsune.
2) Black metal band from Iceland.

Fantastisch
Curse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Und Energie ist nie weg, sie verändert die Form
Und jede Platte die ich mache, sie verändert die Norm
Und jedes Jahr das ich leb, das verändert enorm
Ich mach Musik in den Tagen dieser Kinder des Zorns
Und Eltern, die meinen es sei alles schlimmer geworden
Und beide wollen Rap als Sprachrohr haben
Manche sehnen sich zurück zu den goldenen Tagen, 90er Jahren
Dilla verstorben, und es gibt keine coolen Air Jordans mehr
Fast jeder Rapper ist ein bisschen Kommerz
Und all der Beef und die Disses sind ein bisschen zu ernst
Es ist immer ein bisschen Schmerz
Wenn man merkt, dass man anders ist
Manchmal sitz ich zuhause und denk ich kann das nicht
Manchmal wünsch ich mir, dass Curse jemand Anders ist
Doch dann wären die ganzen Songs nicht so fantastisch
//Chorus
Ich fühl mich fantastisch
Ich weiß ich heb ab, aber lasst mich
Schwerelos, da, wo Last ist
Kein Platz für mich, da, wo Hass ist
Und ich habe keine Sorgen
Denn sollte ich beim Greifen nach Steren wirklich fallen
Fall ich auf die Wolken
Und wenn ich hoch hinaus statt in die Nähe ziel
Komm ich weit, auch wenn ich mal knapp daneben lieg
Und ich hab schon 'nen paar Male verfehlt
Zweimal fast den Echo gewonnen, zweimal fast den Comet
Einmal die 1Live Krone
Auch ohne Trophäen triumphier ich über falsche Idole
Auch ohne Gold oder Platin kenn ich meinen Wert
Scheiß auf Gold, ich will Platin, denn ich bin's wert!
Und meine Art hat sich bisher bewährt
Denn bisher haben sich immer nur Idioten beschwert
Darum nehm ich es selten ernst und noch seltener schwer
Was Leute mir erzählen wollen, denn mein Leben ist mehr
Als nur auf Wegen zu gehen, wo schon die Anderen gehn
Es ist leicht da zu stehen, wo schon Andere stehen
Denn in der Gruppe sind wir stark und allein sind wir Beute
Wer anders ist, ist außen vor, meinen die Leute
Der Typ ist anders und sexy, meinen die Bräute
Doch ich hab immer nur das gemacht, was ich wollte
Und es ist geil, wenn man anders ist
Manchmal sitz ich zuhause und peil die Anderen nicht
Und Hater wünschen sich, dass Curse jemand Anders ist
Doch dann wären die ganzen Songs nicht so fantastisch
//Chorus//
Curse's song "Fantastisch" talks about the constant change and evolution that occurs in life. In the first verse, he describes how every time a person dies, a new one is born, and how energy never disappears, it just transforms into a different form. He also acknowledges the evolution of the music industry and how every album he creates changes the norm. Curse also reflects on the attitudes of parents and how they want rap music as their voice, even though they feel like things are worse than they were in the past. He believes this thinking is nonsense and that the rap scene has simply evolved with time. The second verse focuses on Curse himself and his struggles with being different. He muses about how it can be painful to realize how different he is from others and how at times, he wishes he was like everyone else. Despite this, he understands that being different allows him to create music that is fantastic and unique. In the chorus, he talks about how he feels fantastic, even though there are moments when it feels like there's no place for him where hatred exists. He also talks about how he doesn't worry too much and doesn't take negative comments from others too seriously. Instead, he focuses on being true to himself and what he wants, which has worked well for him.
