Childhood:
Samy Deluxe grew up with his mothers family as his Sudanese father left Germany when Samy was just two years old. Shortly after this event his half-sister was born. After living in Barmbek for many years they then moved to Eppendorf, a generally better-off suburb of Hamburg. Given this contrast - he certainly did not come from a well-off background - and his constant problems at school with teachers who he often defied, he looked for a release and a way to express himself away from school. He soon discovered music.
Style:
Samy modelled himself on American hip hop. This gave him a great sense of caring for his family, although he boasts of having had a good relationship with his mother and the people who looked after him. He practised all year long writing lyrics and spitting them, he has outstanding freestyling skills. Even his fiercest rivals have admitted that he is one of the best Freestylers in Germany.
Audacious and eloquent, Samy initially chose an aggressive style, based on imaginative use of metaphors, complex overlapping rhymes and his own melodic flow. He favours constructing contantly changing pictures rather than telling long stories. Critics find fault with his limited content and repetitive subjects, but Sam Semillia (as he calls himself, taken from the non-toxis form of the cannabis plant, Sinsemilia) has responded by saying that he can only rap in the style and about the subjects that feel real to him.
Starting Out:
Before working with Dynamite Deluxe he was a member of German Hip Hop group "No Nonsens". He became very well known due to his many guest appearances on the CDs put out by hip hop artists such as Freundeskreis, the Stieber Twins, Main Concept, Eins Zwo, Ferris MC, Absolute Beginner, Das Bo and 5 Sterne Deluxe. It was the latter group in particular that he performed many concerts with. He also took it upon himself to do the festivals all over Germany in order to make a name for himself.
Blablabla
Samy Deluxe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blablablablablablablablabla
Yeah, ah, yeah, aha
Ich hör nur Blablabla
Den ganzen Tag
Ihr glaubt es nicht
Doch ich hör was ihr alle sagt
Nicht nur die Politiker jeden Tag sinkt das Sprachniveau niedriger
Und jeder fordert für sich, fair behandelt zu werden
Doch geht’s um andere, werden wir alle riesen Kritiker
Wir denken langsam nach in einer schnellen Welt
Reden mit smiley-faces und LOL O-M-G, ich hör nur noch Blablablas
Is' Fakt die Fakten sind oft gar nicht wahr
Und Journalismus ist tot
Alles was die leute noch erinnern ist, Hitler ist doof
Mein Label sagt blablabla, wo ist der Hit?
Ich sag, ich hab keinen Plan, aber mein Flow ist der Shit
Blablabla, macht einfach bessere Promo
Ich sing hier den Scheiß Song mit
Meiner Schwester Y’akoto
Blablablablablablablablabla
Blablablablablablablablabla
Blablablablablablablablabla
Blablablablablablablablabla
Blablablablablablablablabla
The lyrics of Samy Deluxe and Y'akoto's song Blablabla speaks of the incessant chattering that goes on in the world. The song starts with Samy Deluxe's voice saying "Oh yeah" followed by blabbering, which sets the tone for the song. The chorus repeats the word "blablabla" as a representation of the noise heard all around. Samy Deluxe says he hears blablabla all day long, and even though people may not believe it, he hears everything people say. He points out how the speech standard is diminishing, and everyone demands equality but are quick to criticize others. Samy also mentions that we're living in a fast-paced world where people communicate using smiley-faces and shorthand like "LOL" and "OMG."
The next verse brings up more issues regarding the media and fake news. Facts are often not real, and journalism is dead. All people remember is that "Hitler is doof" (Hitler is stupid). Samy's label tells him to make another hit, but he states that he has no idea what to do. He emphasizes his rapping flow and the talent that he possesses. The song ends with Samy Deluxe and Y'akoto singing together and repeating the word blablabla.
Overall, the song is a commentary on the endless chatter that fills the world today. It highlights how instead of reflecting on what is happening in life and the world, people tend to tune out to nonsense.
