Germany-based music company BMG — distributor of releases by controversial rappers Kollegah and Farid Bang, whose lyrics many consider to be anti-semitic — today announced a campaign against “a growing wave of anti-Semitism in Germany” with a new campaign focused on schools. The company is pledging 100,000 Euros to the campaign, in which it will “partner with expert organisations in the field to tackle the problem in schools, particularly in the country’s capital, Berlin,” according to a press release.

The album in question, “Jung, Brutal, Gutaussehend 3” includes lyrics in which the rappers say their muscles are “more defined than Auschwitz prisoners’” and “I’m doing another Holocaust, coming with a Molotov.” The album, which has sold...

The duo, who deny they are anti-Semitic, won the award on Holocaust Remembrance Day.
The duo’s win was roundly criticized on the Echo Awards stage by Campino, lead singer of veteran German punk band Die Toten Hosen, who received a standing ovation.
The album in question, “Jung, Brutal, Gutaussehend 3” includes lyrics in which the rappers say their muscles are “more defined than Auschwitz prisoners’” and “I’m doing another Holocaust, coming with a Molotov.” The album, which has sold more than 200,000 copies in a market that is still largely based on physical sales,...

With the exception of the Ry Cooder motivated docu film on Cuban musicians Buena Vista Social Club, many would argue that we haven't had anything to cheer about in the Wenders camp since 1987's Wings of Desire.
