Loved this reaction so much! Others have already pointed out that 'lössi' refers to Gettomasa's own crew, and maybe even more importantly, it's their own slang/dialect. At the start you caught the spoken line about "gang gang, squad squad" which was more along the lines of "the fuck is gang gang, squad squad?", which can be seen as a commentary of the English language, bit by bit, taking a foothold in everyday Finnish language through such loanwords, and spoken language turning into a Finglish. Especially by younger generations. Obviously language is ever evolving, and Gettomasa is definitely one of the better users of Finnish language in our music scene, thus it makes sense for him to be proud to be using words from his local dialect and not falling to the trap of constantly mixing languages to find easier rhymes. EDIT: Also there's endless amounts of great Gettomasa songs but 'Veli mä vannon' is one of my favorites. It's on a drill beat and imo it's one the best rapping performances he's done from the technical standpoint. That song also has the background of him giving a response to other rapper's throaway line about him, which resulted in said rapper (Lukas Leon) making an entire diss song, followed by Gettomasa making his own (Istu) and absolutely obliterating Lukas. I'm afraid you won't get much out of the whole beef because it's obviously in Finnish, but at least 'Veli mä vannon' will be a good listen.
The song emphasizes the importance and strength of the artist's group or crew ("lössi"). The lyrics describe various activities and behaviors of the crew, showcasing their unity and loyalty. The artist contrasts their crew with others, implying that they are more authentic and committed. There's a recurring theme of pride in the crew's size, strength, and distinctiveness, as well as a rejection of fake or insincere behavior from others. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes that wherever the artist goes, their crew is always with them, reinforcing their bond and solidarity.
One strength about the language itself when used when writing music: The grammar of Finnish language uses A LOT of suffixes that in other languages would need to be articulated in a couple words on top of the original word. Although these. In the more common and simple example, For example the word "haluan" means "I want", while "haluat" means "you want", and you can add more "words" as suffixes to further narrow down the exact meaning of the word. As an extra, more extreme example on the same word and how flexible this grammar system is, "haluamattomuutenne" means "your(plural) lack of wanting (to do or have something)", or probably in English it would be said as "your reluctance", while "haluamanilainen" means essentially "as/like what I want", and both are real words that people can and do use. Those longer versions of words are not that used in hiphop or casual, informal conversation, but that really shows how flexible the language can be when needed. This combined with the slang people use daily opens up a lot of avenues for rappers and lyricists to be really creative with the construction of rhymes and flows
And most of hes songs are produced by hes irl friend Ruuben , which makes it even cooler because they have made a long way together and you really can see how long they have come!
you're basically right! Amazing how you can get that from foreign language and music video. You should see more of his stuff and JVG! Also Gettomasa has won our "emmy" for the best music and still dissed the last guy on his speech.
Thank you for this😎😎🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀this is soooooo 🥇 🥇 i like how excited you are for this Finnish rapper❤❤👌👌and that's so true,always we don't have to gnow what they say, you just hear when some artist is really good. And we have many great rappers in Finland and that culture is being here so long time 👑 👑
Gettomasa -Muijii stadis, silmät, veli mä vannon, meit ei oo and shampanijadieetillä are some of his biggest songs along with some others but you should react to ATLEAST those definitely!
2:12 Notice this transition very carefully. Listen to about 6 - 10 seconds while this transition is taking place. One of the best transitions in rap history in my humble oppinion
Check out View - Spill ft. Noah Kin Noah Kin - 822 Noah Kin - The Void 🔥 also finns but rap in english.. imo so underrated. Finnish people don't give enough credit to English rapping finn artist
I contour that. even though I'm a metalhead, I really appreciate rap artists. Finland is becoming many, but a Finn rapping in English. Wow! I raise my hat, bow and even make a courtship. Those lines are incredibly good.
A producer whose name is Ruuben has contributed a lot to Gettomasa's songs and he has produced many Gettomasa's songs and made several beats as well. I think Ruuben has produced almost every Gettomasa's song but I am not fully sure about this.
Gettomasa - Muijii Stadis, is also one hell of a banger. Its chill with good flow and melodies. I play this sometimes when just driving around and having a chill
"Lössi" means basically a group of friends that very close to you, kinda like your "homies that are near/close to you every day".. your home crew, best friends.. 😄
People try to translate "lössi" in to a word without explaining the message. The whole song is about representing countryside versus big city / helsinki capital. In Helsinki they just borrow english words or mix them in finnish (finglish) when in countryside you speak honest finnish and invent you own words. (Lössi vs gang)
You should really try Dilemma, and Song is mitä helvettiä teen tääl. Dilemma is soooo gooood with words, also all of his songs are amazing. My favourite is Toivo, made togerher with apulanta ❤️
If you have listened Burna Boy and last years you have heard this producer before. He is Ruuben and was one of the producers in Love, Damini album. He is childhood friend of Gettomasa and has risen up from there. Just a little fact😂
The start of the song he's saying "The F (is) 'gang gang' 'squad squad'? It is my 'Lössi'". That and pretty much the whole song is sort of criticism towards anglicism and how some are taking influences abroad trying to have a 'gang' or 'squad' with maybe some more or less criminal or tough activities within the gang while his Lössi is just big group of people minding their own business: skating, playing PS and in general having good time. But should you challenge them, they don't care. He's rapping how 'your gang' or squad can be in disco playing tough and creme de la creme in the town with powders and stuff, but they don't care. They've got their Lössi and good time. And in the end he goes back to the lyrical criticism that he does not understand or care about having a 'squad' or 'gang', because he's got his Lössi
Lyrics translated below: **************************** Ruuuuuuuubennn..... ("Ruuben" is the alias of the og bigshot producer who's made the beat and been working with Gettomasa "since the beginning") Yeah What tha fucking gang gang squad squad? Fucking clown it's my "lössi" (lössi is "old" finnish word for a group of people, and I'll keep it untranslated 'cause it's what differentiates all the other groups from his) And when I'm rolling, I've got my lössi with me Put +100 on the list, I've got my lössi with me Because if we're coming, I've got my lössi with me Son, I don't know about you, but I've got my lössi with me One dude is practicing backside tailslide Two dudes playing flat skate Three dudes browsing RUclips Trying to get the bluetooth to work on their phone Four are bouncing a (basket)ball Five are about to come out of a car Six somewhere chillin', saying we'll finish watching this episode One begins to spark (a joint), two come to ask Do you have a lot - provide?

Even when we don't know each other, talking shit about what they've heard about me And when (Getto)Masa comes they act like it's not like that Get their feelings hurt when I don't greet them Dude's squad is taking uppers Playing the town's creme in a disco Your herd are vaginas, nothing but a fucking bunch of singing snitches Always talking about my business Don't push that street flour Take it and shove it up your anus On benches of Seppä my guys are smoke sauna'ing (Ok, this is a bit tricky one; He uses the word "lauteilla" which literally means sauna benches, but in this context he means just the weird sauna-like benches that are around one of the skate parks in Jyväskylä called "Seppä". And by "smoke sauna'ing" he refers to hotboxing, but in this case he uses words associated with sauna 'because... well... the association with the benches looking like sauna benches. Oh, and savusauna (smoke sauna) is a type of traditional sauna that fills with smoke. Like a steam sauna but dark, with a wood stove and with smoke instead of steam) And the lössi is so big it doesn't fit in a car CHORUS (same the first part in this "translation") Me and my lössi Son, we're not going anywhere And we don't stress about any of your weak teams You can bring them with you But I know they don't want anything (they don't want a thing) (anything, as in any altrecation) It's me and my lössi Son, we're not going anywhere (son, we're not going anywhere) We started without a dime in a dirty shoes Straight out of yard courts, just look at my lössi, looks like a league team Dudes from your squad in a farm on a bench (some sports terminology I'm not familiar with, probably "farm" refers to a sports team which farms potential players in hopes to rise to the league, and even there, they're not playing but sitting on the bench) They are those "I'm gonna come and do" -guys Thinking Supreme -gear will bring them hype, here's a message for you dudes "Maybe we should reconsider" 'Cause year ago they were shouting (heckling?) that they're coming, and they still are (shouting) Tell me what people are doing Should this rap game be rebooted When beef means shouting in the internet And when they see each other, they look at different directions I don't often lose my temper over a fake guy But there has been a few who has been spreading a story And at that point I'll come to set things straight And I'll be coming just by myself, you're free to bring your whole fucking... (continues to chorus) Lössin CHORUS This is not a squad, we're too numerous That weak slang is about the be at the end of its road They say gang but I still don't get it My whole lössi speaks it's own language, lössi Excuse me? Excuse me? Oh no What? What? Oh, oh shit Ah, it is lössi, it is lössi Yeah, haha Lössi **************************** I don't know why I did this or if anyone cares, but here's a free translation of the lyrics of this song for all those who wish to figure out roughly what the song is about and doesn't understand finnish. I've tried to keep it as close to the original lyrics as possible without losing the meaning, but I know it's probably janky as hell and who am I to tell you what Gettomasa is thinking or saying. I noticed I ended up using parenthesis "( )" for both, backing vocals and my explanations, so try to figure out which is which. I also just used the first lyrics I found from google as the source and did no double checking about their legitimacy, so there might full well be errors in my source materials. Anyways, feel free to correct it in any shape or form if necessary. It's only my haphazard take 'cause I didn't find any translated lyrics in the comments nor online. Cheers. Oh, and if you want some bad translations from finnish, you can always try your luck and ask.
Gettomasa is one of my absolute favourites! I'd recommend to listen more, especially silmät - other songs from other artists id suggets are "JVG -mist sä tuut" (there are alot of feats), "avain - punainen tiili" (classic), "jami faltin - STILL TRE" , "Ruger hauer - marraskuu" and as a joker "OGUM - Ratasessarit" (spitting bars fast af.)
You were pretty spot on guessing he was just talking his shit and how he always has his group behind him. He was also kinda dissing these finglish speaking "gang gang squad squad" type of rappers/people wanting to show off and faking the "high life"
Great thing to know about finnish music, literally 99,99% of the finnish songs/rap lyrics can be found with english translations on the google and even if not the google translates most of the really well.
Start with Redrama: Hang it up, Paleface: Aakkosmurha and Don Johnson Big Band - One MC, One Delay. These artists have started late 90,s and are still in! OGs like Avain/Asa and Fintelligens. I would Start with these... Thanks for reaction. Hola from Finland! I think u like these!!
Listen amor 2.0 from justimusfilms its a finnins sketch trio but in that song there is some sick spitting. He really needs to start rapping more when the flow is that sick!
DO ASA NEXT....lyrically/thematically very unique, one of the OG's in the game, also Ceebrolistics, different, originators, EuroCrack (Julma H & Koksu K, who is also part of Ceebrolistics, a rapper and a producer).
Gettomasa blew from winning the finnish freestyle battle championship like.. 2012? Most recent years finnish rap has lyrically kind of declined a bit, but that is only because hiphop has become more versatile. There's a bit of everything for everyone now. During 90s and 2000s it was straight up content, and meaning in your lyrics. That's it. Now there's this drill type of rap, melodic RnB type of rap.. Rap influenced by reggae.. But hiphop in general is very well represented in Finland, because people take their hiphop seriously. Breakdance, painting.. DJs.. All of it is well represented here. It is not just about rap. There are some real hiphop heads who are about the culture. There is an absolutely HUGE hiphop culture in Finland. It is probably one of the biggest sub-cultures in the country. You should react to hiphop from different eras, as there are times when people take hiphop more, and less seriously.. See you can be a rapper, but not consider yourself as a hiphop head.. Well.. you know what I mean. That topic has always been a thing here, so you really should consider that, when you react to finnish hiphop.
Go and check out Myrkkyä - Spekti. There is a stellar lineup that has some OG rappers and couple of younger ones too. Those verses are pretty damn tight!🔥
I’ve heard Latin scholars that insist that Finnish is the best language to translate poetry into, because of the declensions. 23 I believe (most likely under).
The beginning with the gang gang is translated as "yee.. what fucking gang gang squad squad??? Fuckin' clown it's my LÖSSI! And when I roll I have my LÖSSI (with me). Put +100 on the list 'cause I'm with my LÖSSI. 'cause if we roll up then I come with my LÖSSI" Breaking of the finglish words (when you make english a part of finnish) And making finnish his platform and giving finnish language an equavalent for slang such as gang gang or squad squad. Lössi= group of people (or in this case a trusted group of homies and their avecs) Meaning
You should listen to these songs from gettomasa: silmät, vastustamaton, muijjii stadis, kuolleita presidenttejä, mestar and ei mitään järkee Edit: allso i think masa has one of the best flows of all finnish rappers
he meatn aaat the beginning like "tf is gang gang squad squad fucking clown its my lössi" :DDD
hyvin käännetty, LOL pelle
Hyvin väännetty

Masa is so called authentic rap head , hes been doing this for years and learned alot from america! He was also really good at freestyle rapping!
And most of hes songs are produced by hes irl friend Ruuben , which makes it even cooler because they have made a long way together and you really can see how long they have come!
Well. He was Finnish champion in freestyle years before becoming mainstream.
Masa has born in the USA 💁
@@piamaki4558 joo en ollu 100 varma ni en kehdannu sanoo :D kerroin vaa mitä tiesin
You should checkout "JVG - Mist Sä Tuut". Theres many Finnish rappers featuring on the same hiphop song and its a great one in that.
Or "Cheek - Me ollaan ne"
I agree. It's a very good song.
Was going to suggest this too!
you're basically right! Amazing how you can get that from foreign language and music video. You should see more of his stuff and JVG! Also Gettomasa has won our "emmy" for the best music and still dissed the last guy on his speech.
Lössi is just loan word from german lösch meaning big group of people (bigger than squad) :D thats whats its all about
Yea more of these, love your cap!
Some absolute bangers of recent years for you to listen:
MKDMSK - Edelleen Edellä
Ruger Hauer - Jokaiselle Jotakin
Konala Cartelli - Jep Jep Joo
Hyvä maku
Kuka hitto on Konala cartelli 😂
You should listen to fintelligens
Thank you for this😎😎🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀this is soooooo 🥇 🥇 i like how excited you are for this Finnish rapper❤❤👌👌and that's so true,always we don't have to gnow what they say, you just hear when some artist is really good. And we have many great rappers in Finland and that culture is being here so long time 👑 👑
i really like these type of videos!!
Gettomasa -Muijii stadis, silmät, veli mä vannon, meit ei oo and shampanijadieetillä are some of his biggest songs along with some others but you should react to ATLEAST those definitely!
You should listen song called ”Ei mitään järkee” from Gettomasa and Gracias
If you want a mix of old finnish and swedish rap you should listen to Fintelligens - Stockholm-Helsinki ft. Petter, PeeWee
Stockholm-Helsinki, yes ! 💯🎧🎶Good old times
2:12 Notice this transition very carefully. Listen to about 6 - 10 seconds while this transition is taking place. One of the best transitions in rap history in my humble oppinion
Waiting for Fintelligens 🔥😎
he is actually one of the best here, so you are not wrong about that!!
Great video mate!!
Been watching your videos a while. subbed now cuz finrap. Ty Dwayne for great videos!
This is Real rap. Best of Finnish.
I love your reactions to this song as well✌🏼😂
For a 2000ish vibe check out Fintelligens - Voittamaton 🎉
Check out

🔥 also finns but rap in english.. imo so underrated. Finnish people don't give enough credit to English rapping finn artist
I contour that. even though I'm a metalhead, I really appreciate rap artists. Finland is becoming many, but a Finn rapping in English. Wow! I raise my hat, bow and even make a courtship. Those lines are incredibly good.
A producer whose name is Ruuben has contributed a lot to Gettomasa's songs and he has produced many Gettomasa's songs and made several beats as well. I think Ruuben has produced almost every Gettomasa's song but I am not fully sure about this.
if you take recommendations listed to "silmät" from gettomasa or different artist like "SHRTY" or "Lauri Haav"
Please do more reaction videos of Gettomasa! He has so much great songs, the old ones and the new ones 🔥
yeah he is one of the biggest rapper in finland
Gettomasa - Muijii Stadis, is also one hell of a banger. Its chill with good flow and melodies. I play this sometimes when just driving around and having a chill
Bleak Purdy was probably the most promising talent in the country. Aged 14 and took his own life. The kid would've made history.
You should check out Ege Zulu
Ege is my childhood friend❤
also Horse Attack Sqwad !
"Lössi" means basically a group of friends that very close to you, kinda like your "homies that are near/close to you every day".. your home crew, best friends.. 😄

In Helsinki they just borrow english words or mix them in finnish (finglish) when in countryside you speak honest finnish and invent you own words. (Lössi vs gang)
Lössi on kyllä stadinslangia. Ihan sitä oikeeta, eikä näitä nykysiä paskapuheita.
1:53 Finland is not Scandinavia!
And you are absolutely right on your commwntary.
Sacred order of the pen is a combination of finnish og/ug rappers shooting bars in english. The project iirc was headed by Paleface.
Love the cap and necklase❤️🇫🇮
You are basically spot on, crazy. 👍🏼
Your vibe pretty much naild it. From finland i can say that Masa is the best modern rapper. fast and flowing rimes are top noch.
You shoud see this song live
You should really try Dilemma, and Song is mitä helvettiä teen tääl. Dilemma is soooo gooood with words, also all of his songs are amazing. My favourite is Toivo, made togerher with apulanta ❤️
I love Gettomasa's Silmät song, its so good
If you have listened Burna Boy and last years you have heard this producer before. He is Ruuben and was one of the producers in Love, Damini album. He is childhood friend of Gettomasa and has risen up from there. Just a little fact😂
You should watch a video of the live performances, in my opinion Gettomasa’s performances are one of the best in Finland 👍
Fintelligens and Avain
Listen to JVG - Mist Sä Tuut Pt. 2. rap cypher...it's a really good dissection of different players in the finnish rap scene
U havn't heard the best Finnish rap until u have heard a band called: pääkköset
you have to come to Finland to see Gettomasa's live concert
2:52 Pallo = Ball. 1/2 words I know in finnish. Other one ends with itto. Good starter kit if anyone want to start watching finish football.
You might like "Sacred order of the pen" . It's a collaboration with paleface, matre and about dozen Finnish rappers
MKDMSK - Edelleen Edellä, Totally worth a check! Sadly he passed away few years ago..
You know someone spitting when you dont know words
Thirdly, if have not yet covered “Freestyler”, do so. Possibly the best rated Finnish song ever. Beautiful video. Rap/pop.
The start of the song he's saying "The F (is) 'gang gang' 'squad squad'? It is my 'Lössi'". That and pretty much the whole song is sort of criticism towards anglicism and how some are taking influences abroad trying to have a 'gang' or 'squad' with maybe some more or less criminal or tough activities within the gang while his Lössi is just big group of people minding their own business: skating, playing PS and in general having good time.

They've got their Lössi and good time. And in the end he goes back to the lyrical criticism that he does not understand or care about having a 'squad' or 'gang', because he's got his Lössi
Yo Gettomasa is Finnish freestyle battle rap champion 2012.
React to Huge L: Finglish! Lots of more from that artist. Asa is also very good.

It's about his posse (Lössi) being better than the others and always there for him
Lyrics translated below:
****************************
Ruuuuuuuubennn..... ("Ruuben" is the alias of the og bigshot producer who's made the beat and been working with Gettomasa "since the beginning")
Yeah
What tha fucking gang gang squad squad?
Fucking clown it's my "lössi"
(lössi is "old" finnish word for a group of people, and I'll keep it untranslated 'cause it's what differentiates all the other groups from his)
And when I'm rolling, I've got my lössi with me
Put +100 on the list, I've got my lössi with me
Because if we're coming, I've got my lössi with me
Son, I don't know about you, but I've got my lössi with me
One dude is practicing backside tailslide
Two dudes playing flat skate
Three dudes browsing RUclips
Trying to get the bluetooth to work on their phone
Four are bouncing a (basket)ball
Five are about to come out of a car
Six somewhere chillin', saying we'll finish watching this episode
One begins to spark (a joint), two come to ask
Do you have a lot - provide?
Lössi, lössi
If some clown here cannot make sense of my chorus
I'll let them figure out what I mean
(this line above seemed a bit weird in the source lyrics, so there might be something off with it)
One hundred dudes in the crew with none of their partners with them
What's wrong with your gang?
Even when we don't know each other, talking shit about what they've heard about me
And when (Getto)Masa comes they act like it's not like that
Get their feelings hurt when I don't greet them
Dude's squad is taking uppers
Playing the town's creme in a disco
Your herd are vaginas, nothing but a fucking bunch of singing snitches
Always talking about my business
Don't push that street flour
Take it and shove it up your anus
On benches of Seppä my guys are smoke sauna'ing
(Ok, this is a bit tricky one; He uses the word "lauteilla" which literally
means sauna benches, but in this context he means just the weird sauna-like
benches that are around one of the skate parks in Jyväskylä called "Seppä".
And by "smoke sauna'ing" he refers to hotboxing, but in this case he uses words associated
with sauna 'because... well... the association with the benches looking like sauna benches.
Oh, and savusauna (smoke sauna) is a type of traditional sauna that fills with smoke.
Like a steam sauna but dark, with a wood stove and with smoke instead of steam)
And the lössi is so big it doesn't fit in a car
CHORUS (same the first part in this "translation")
Me and my lössi
Son, we're not going anywhere
And we don't stress about any of your weak teams
You can bring them with you
But I know they don't want anything (they don't want a thing)
(anything, as in any altrecation)
It's me and my lössi
Son, we're not going anywhere (son, we're not going anywhere)
We started without a dime in a dirty shoes
Straight out of yard courts, just look at my lössi, looks like a league team
Dudes from your squad in a farm on a bench
(some sports terminology I'm not familiar with, probably "farm" refers to a sports team
which farms potential players in hopes to rise to the league, and even there, they're
not playing but sitting on the bench)
They are those "I'm gonna come and do" -guys
Thinking Supreme -gear will bring them hype, here's a message for you dudes
"Maybe we should reconsider"
'Cause year ago they were shouting (heckling?) that they're coming, and they still are (shouting)
Tell me what people are doing
Should this rap game be rebooted
When beef means shouting in the internet
And when they see each other, they look at different directions
I don't often lose my temper over a fake guy
But there has been a few who has been spreading a story
And at that point I'll come to set things straight
And I'll be coming just by myself, you're free to bring your whole fucking... (continues to chorus)
Lössin
CHORUS
This is not a squad, we're too numerous
That weak slang is about the be at the end of its road
They say gang but I still don't get it
My whole lössi speaks it's own language, lössi
Excuse me? Excuse me? Oh no
What? What? Oh, oh shit
Ah, it is lössi, it is lössi
Yeah, haha
Lössi

"Vitun pelle kun mä rullaan, mulla on mukana mun lössi!" = "F*cking clown when I roll, I got my squad!"
Good choice
Gettomasa is one of my absolute favourites! I'd recommend to listen more, especially silmät - other songs from other artists id suggets are "JVG -mist sä tuut" (there are alot of feats), "avain - punainen tiili" (classic), "jami faltin - STILL TRE" , "Ruger hauer - marraskuu" and as a joker "OGUM - Ratasessarit" (spitting bars fast af.)
You were pretty spot on guessing he was just talking his shit and how he always has his group behind him. He was also kinda dissing these finglish speaking "gang gang squad squad" type of rappers/people wanting to show off and faking the "high life"
At the start of this his like "what the fuck gang gang Squad? fucking clown it is my LÖSSI"
Yeah that flow is pretty tight.
A true anthem. Check out Lössi - Toinen poski remix, it's a completely different vibe.
He is the best rapper in Finland
Great thing to know about finnish music, literally 99,99% of the finnish songs/rap lyrics can be found with english translations on the google and even if not the google translates most of the really well.
You should check the song "pelkuri", Gettomasa made 9min song for his abusive, alcoholic and narcissistic father. What a song to put out.
he is easily the best rapper with lyricism and storytelling, so you nailed with your guess
Skandaali is the best lyricist ever from finland
Right You said it. Statement!
ODZ is a pretty great experimental hip hop group, Maskinen as well. You should check out some Swedish reggae.
I think it would add a lot to the video if you tried to find translations to the lyrics! I really enjoy these reactions to finnish rap.
Start with Redrama: Hang it up, Paleface: Aakkosmurha and Don Johnson Big Band - One MC, One Delay. These artists have started late 90,s and are still in! OGs like Avain/Asa and Fintelligens. I would Start with these... Thanks for reaction. Hola from Finland! I think u like these!!
Definetly check Turisti out aswell. He's a great finnish rapper too
Maybe try some older rap like Paleface or other genres too?
You should try some DJ Kriddlokk or Eevil Stöö, they have very distinctive flows.
Other end of spectrum in Finnish rap would be View - Spill feat Noah Kin. Look it up 👍
You should check out ”Hyi” by Adi L Hasla, the song features a lot of popular finnish rappers
Listen amor 2.0 from justimusfilms its a finnins sketch trio but in that song there is some sick spitting. He really needs to start rapping more when the flow is that sick!
DO ASA NEXT....lyrically/thematically very unique, one of the OG's in the game, also Ceebrolistics, different, originators, EuroCrack (Julma H & Koksu K, who is also part of Ceebrolistics, a rapper and a producer).
GOAT of Suomirap
Eevil Stöö - Dwayne Wayne
Eevil Stöö - Tyyppaa Viel
You should check out Miskamaan - Spendaaja. Absolute fire
Gettomasa blew from winning the finnish freestyle battle championship like.. 2012? Most recent years finnish rap has lyrically kind of declined a bit, but that is only because hiphop has become more versatile. There's a bit of everything for everyone now. During 90s and 2000s it was straight up content, and meaning in your lyrics. That's it. Now there's this drill type of rap, melodic RnB type of rap.. Rap influenced by reggae.. But hiphop in general is very well represented in Finland, because people take their hiphop seriously. Breakdance, painting.. DJs.. All of it is well represented here. It is not just about rap. There are some real hiphop heads who are about the culture. There is an absolutely HUGE hiphop culture in Finland. It is probably one of the biggest sub-cultures in the country.
You should react to hiphop from different eras, as there are times when people take hiphop more, and less seriously.. See you can be a rapper, but not consider yourself as a hiphop head.. Well.. you know what I mean. That topic has always been a thing here, so you really should consider that, when you react to finnish hiphop.
Go and check out Myrkkyä - Spekti. There is a stellar lineup that has some OG rappers and couple of younger ones too. Those verses are pretty damn tight!🔥
If some Pelle doesn't understand my chorus"😂 well, it's made for Finns
This is😍😍 And i also like Finnish woman rapper Etta and sexmane and Ege zulu🥳🥳🔥
I’ve heard Latin scholars that insist that Finnish is the best language to translate poetry into, because of the declensions. 23 I believe (most likely under).
you should react to Kube - 100
The beginning with the gang gang is translated as "yee.. what fucking gang gang squad squad??? Fuckin' clown it's my LÖSSI! And when I roll I have my LÖSSI (with me). Put +100 on the list 'cause I'm with my LÖSSI. 'cause if we roll up then I come with my LÖSSI"
Breaking of the finglish words (when you make english a part of finnish)
And making finnish his platform and giving finnish language an equavalent for slang such as gang gang or squad squad.
Lössi= group of people (or in this case a trusted group of homies and their avecs)
Meaning
You should listen to these songs from gettomasa: silmät, vastustamaton, muijjii stadis, kuolleita presidenttejä, mestar and ei mitään järkee
Edit: allso i think masa has one of the best flows of all finnish rappers
You should checkout Cheek. He is bigger then Gettomasa. Also checkout Mikael Gabriel.
You need checking out OGUM - RataSessarit 1 ft Midas
Listen to "Voi Ei" By Gettomasa 😮
Gettomasa its finnish Eminem
You should check out the toinen poski remix. Definitely more my style 😅
