"Wenn du auftrittst wird's für deine eigene Crew peinlich, ihr seit weinerlich. Versuch dich zusammen zu reißen während ich dich in der Luft wie Papier auseinander reiße, ich scheiße auf eine Lyrik. "
- Taktloss - Untergrund Dämon (BRP 4)
transl.:
"When you perform it gets embarrassing for your own crew, you are whiny. Try to pull yourself together while I rip you apart in the air like a piece of paper, I shit on your lyric."


More lyrical mastery from Taktloss. Pretty self-explanatory; he lets aggression speak.

"Selbst wenn ich mit Rambo tauschen könnte würde ich es nicht. Mein Leben wäre zu hart für ihn" -Taktloss- Wir geben alles ft Justus (Aus Liebe)
transl.:
"Even if I could switch with Rambo, I wouldn't. My Life would be to hard for him"

What kind of gangster is Taktloss, you might ask? Well his life is so hardcore that even Rambo wouldn't want to be in his shoes. I'll take a future punchline to describe why Taktloss has such a dangerous life. He is not a real criminal, but his mission is to "murder" all wack MCees, and to save the world from all bad rappers.


I'll leave you guys with a nice track, the song isn't that awesome but it's got a good beat.

"Vergebens bemüht sich die Evolution, denn der Mensch ist ein Klon der nicht aus seinen Fehlern lernen kann. Wann ist der Bann, der Fluch, vorüber? Die Freiheit des Denkens ist wie eine Fessel im .... Sessel deiner Bequemlichkeit.
Ich bin TAKT, und ich bin tight. Ich bewundere den Pöbel und habe mit Philosophen Mitleid. Mit der Zeit kommt Rat. Wenn du die Hoffnung verlässt dann ist das kein Verrat, sondern eine Tat des Willens."
-Taktloss - Hupe ft Riddlore & Rifleman (WWW)
transl.:
"Evolution's efforts are in vain, because a man is only a clone that can't learn from his mistakes.
When is the spell, the curse over?
Freedom of thinking is like a chain on your chair of comfort.
I am T.A.K.T and I am tight. I admire the crowd, and I feel pity for philosophers.
Only time will tell. When you abandon all hope, it's not betrayal, but a deed of will."

This is an old picture of taktloss with a beard


This is a highly philosophical punchline by Taktloss, that showcases how "deep" he can be. Taktloss likes to joke around with morals and human nature. He comments on the ironic things about humanity, and basically believes that humans are still animals inside.
His first point is that humans did not evolve successfully. Humans always will and always have made mistakes, even though we can learn from them, Taktloss states that, in the end, your next generation will do the same mistakes. So evolution didn't properly train us on how to not make the same mistakes over again.

Then he goes on to state that freedom of thinking is not perfect. If you think completely free, without any barriers, you are enabled to look beyond other people. But with power comes responsibility, what he means is that if you were able to think completely free, you would somehow get to the point where things start not making sense, and you will feel uncomfortable about yourself. So even though freedom of thinking implies that you are free from all barriers, you will eventually create another barrier, a chain, on your comfort level.

After that he states that instead of looking down on the crowd of simple common people in a nation, he admires them. In Contrast, he feels pity for philosophers. He has such a high philosophical insight, that he can relate to other philosophers, and his verdict of philosophy is that it leads to pity and despair, possibly because of all the nonsense and complexity that you encounter, searching for more insight.
So he admires these simple crowds of common folk, because they probably have no insight into philosophy, and therefore not the same problems as him.

The last part is an explanation on why giving up hope is sometimes the better choice. After waiting for an amount of time, you will naturally get advice on your problem. If time passes, the truth will come out.
So if are hopeful you will naturally lose your hope one day. Taktloss states that giving up hope is not a bad thing, it's just a choice by your will. If it's what a person truely believes, then it doesn't count as betrayal, but as a natural outcome.


So what do you think on his philosophical views? Does it make sense? Would you agree?

"Du willst mich mit deinem flow nerven? Das ist wie sein Leben wegwerfen. ... Du rappst scheisse. Was, das siehst du nicht so? Ich setze dir eine Klobrille auf, dann setze ich mich und scheisse auf dich. Dein textblatt ist für mich ein klopapier"
-Phuk die Beeatch
transl.:
"You want to annoy me with your flow? That's like throwing your life away. You rap like shit, what, you don't see it that way? I put a toilet seat over your head, then I sit down and take a dump on you. I use your lyricsheet as toiletpaper"

A very powerful line by Taktloss, that some might find disturbing. He will apparently shit on his enemies, and he describes how.
This track was a single, release by him called "Phuk die beeatch" (-F*ck the Bi-atch). Note also that his label is called "Fick die Biatch Recordz", a record label created by himself.
Well at least taktloss has consistency with his titles, that's for sure.

"Alle Mcees haben etwas gemeinsam, sie sind mir unterlegen, ich bin einsam an der Spitze. Ich stehe über dir selbst wenn ich sitze. Ich könnte mich hinlegen und würd' immer noch oben sein, denn deine Mutter liegt unten"
-Taktloss - Kein Entkommen (WWW)

 transl.:
All Mcees have one thing in commen, they are inferior to me. I am lonely at the top. I stand above you even when I sit. I could lie down and I would still be on top because your mother is on the bottom.

I don't know if the last pun is easy to understand, but it's a sexual reference. He talks about lying down in bed with your mother.
This album, WWW, (original title: WeltWeiteWorts / WorldWideWerds) wasn't his biggest success, but I still feel it is very important because he has very awesome and direct punchlines. I understand why people would think this is not his best work because his style changed. It's a more recent release (2007) and the album was made in collaboration with american westcoast rapper the rifleman. So half the songs feature more than one language. This is very different from what his fans are used to, but oh well, change happens and you gotta deal with it.

If you guys currently have no music playing in the background you might wanna give this song a try (or if you really dig german underground battlerap ;p):

"Ich bin immer mit einem Bein im Untergrund, und mit dem anderen in Mundhöhe der Gegner, du bist mir ein unwürdiger Gegner"
-Taktloss - Üpsilon O. Ka O.
transl.:
"I always have one foot in the underground and one foot at face level to my enemies, you are an unworthy enemy."

This has always been one of my favorite punchlines from Taktloss. He states that with one foot he stands in the underground, his roots are still planted solid in the underground rap scene. But at the same time his other foot is ready to attack, up in the air, at the same height as the mouth of the enemy. Try to imagine it. Here's a picture of taktloss:

"Wenn Ich ans Mic step existierst du nach zwei Sekunden nicht mehr."
-Jack Orsen, Taktloss ft Jack Orsen & Ronald Mack Donald - Gesetz des Dschungels
 transl.:
 "When I step to the mic you stop existing two seconds later"

Jack Orsen states that he is such a dope rapper that when he steps to the mic, he destroys mcees in two seconds. So anyone facing him would not exist after two seconds in a battle with him.
Taktloss, Jack Orsen, Ronald Mack Donald, and others were part of the group M.O.R. In the beginning it all started when they were meeting on sunday nights for openmic freestyle sessions at a hip hop club. They were all into battle rap and battled each other. This is how they developed their rap styles, by focusing on an imaginary enemy in their lyrics. So this punchline follows as a good example.

To my followers: Who is your favorite rapper (of all time)?
