The Old Mann was Uwe Seeler (RIP). Former Football Player. A German / Hamburger SV Legend. He played as Germany's Captain at the World Cup Final against England 1966.
To clarify: "Ahnma" is the title of the song/track, it means something like "Get this!" or "Dig that". The three guys in the first part of the video are the Beginners (Jan Delay, Denyo and DJ Mad), Gzuz is the big tattoo guy (another rapper from Hamburg), Gentleman is a Reggae/Dancehall singer from Cologne. The old guy is Uwe Seeler, German/Hamburg football legend, best forward we had until Gerd Müller came along. And the scenery is all Hamburg, Germany's biggest port and a great city.
And I hope you read the comments - because @maxmonster1432 just answered all of your questions! ;) I just want to add some details: the group "Beginner" - yes, they are definitely some sort of old school, concerning german hip hop. They've been around since the 90ies. Gzuz, the guy with the rough voice, clearly member of the younger generation. German hip hop changed a lot within the last 30 years. You can tell if you watch (and understand) songs from Beginner (formerly known as Absolute Beginner) from the 90ies ("Rock On" for example) and songs from 187 Strassenbande (Gzuz is a member of them). Gentleman is from Cologne, first appearance also back in the 90ies, spent (and spends, as far as I know) a lot of time in Jamaice, and is a very respected Reggae/Dancehall artist.
Was die Leute in ihren letzen aktiven Jahren noch aufs Brett bekommen haben hat mich total beeindruckt. Beginner since then. Build in 83‘ 🤣 That was some of the last tracks from Beginner. Gentleman was a separate popular artist and this is a feature. Love it 🤙🏻
fun fact: The crew at the end are some of the most legendary German rappers from 90/00s - Afrob, D-Flame, Ferris MC, Samy Deluxe, Deichkind. So cute haha
@@Nr4747 Lets not forget bloody DEICHKING, verdammtnochmal! 5 Sterne and Deichkind, digga! With these and Beginner alone you can host a full party night and still leave some of the greatest songs out due to time restrains.
The on,e that you would belive what he says, is gzuz. And yes he is Living this life . Stress with cops, jail, and so on. Ahnma is a real Milestone, so good!
Absolute Beginner (Band of three, two MC‘s and one DJ) and GZUZ (new generation) are all from Hamburg Motherfuckn City. This was the first song release after 10 years being offline for the beginners. so it was legendary and it still is. I‘m born and raised in Hamburg. I‘m proud to be from this City.
I‘ve meet him 2014 on a Porsche Golf tournament. He is the most respectful VIP I’ve ever meet in life. He is always looking for the Handyman’s around him and is at home on their Level of Sarkasm and fun but also respectful! It was beautiful day in my life, I will never forget 🫶
Gentleman (the guy who sings the hook in Patois) is an internationally successful reggae star from Germany. He has worked with all the reggae stars over the last 20 years (including a full album with Ky Mani Marley) and is successful and well-known in Jamaica himself.
Wie kommst du bitte darauf, dass Gentleman international erfolgreich wäre? Weil er in Jamaika gearbeitet hat und gewohnt hat? Jeder kann nach Jamaika fliegen und sich für 500,- eine Studiosession kaufen... ich möchte seinen Erfolg gar nicht schmälern aber außerhalb des deutschsprachigen Raums kennt den kaum einer und in Deutschland kennen die jüngeren ihn auch kaum noch

Hey Dwayne. The city you see on the video is Hamburg. "Ahnma" is the name of the song. "Ahnma" comes from the youth language and is actually just an abbreviation. "Ahnma" stands for “ahne mal”, formulated as “(er)ahne das mal”. Depending on the context, "Ahnma" can also stand for “guess what” or “come to it” The 3 guys in the beginning are the legendary german Hip Hop-Combo "Beginner" First guy who rapped is Jan Delay, The guy whos voice you liked is GZUZ, a rapper from Hamburg, part of 187 Strassenbande. The next one after GZUZ is Gentleman, musician with jamaican inspired music. After him it is Denyo rapping. The guy who sat on the far left side on the stairs is DJ Mad. And last but not least. The old guy in the video is or was a german football legend named Uwe Seeler. He also played for HSV (Hamburger Sportverein) They also rap about him in this song: "Hab' Hamburg hinter mir, als wär' ich Uwe Seeler, Mann" -> Got Hamburg behind me like I was Uwe Seeler, man Keep it up Cheers Ray
Yes! I was waiting to see what you as a dude of Caribbean descent would say if you heard Gentleman! Yes, he's a white guy who sings in patois like UB40 and Sting, but unlike them, he learned the English language through listening to Reggae as a kid. He's spent a lot of time in Jamaica since his early teens and he's absolutely in love with their culture. He's very respected in Jamaica, has tracks with Beenie Man, Sean Paul, Shaggy and 2 entire albums with Ky-mani Marley. I recommend his track "Still Around" featuring Beenie Man and a couple years ago, he did his first German language album, from which I recommend the track "Garten". Beginner (Eizi Eiz, Denyo & DJ Mad) are indeed a legendary pioneer Hamburg rap crew who've been at it since the early 90s and this is a track they did to link up with the younger generation Hamburg rap star Gzuz. I recommend his track "Ebbe & Flut" with Xatar & Hanybal.
Whats the Deal he's white? Its a language, languages are meant to be learned and spoken. I dont see a problem when a Filipino speaks french. Or an Ethiopian Italian, yet you seem to have a problem with a German speaking Jamaican Pidigin.
@@Superior1995Rex I didn't mean to imply I had a problem with him speaking Patois. Dwayne asked whether or not he's actually from Jamaica. It's not like I'm expecting him to re-release all his music in a Kölsch dialect but in the UK, you just wouldn't see a musician who isn't Jamaican release music in a Jamaican accent these days. Die Toten Hosen don't release their songs in a Turkish accent.
Gentleman is the Patwah singer. He's a Germaica legend. His empress is from Jamaica proper and he spent many years of his life there. So he doesn't fake it. Patwah is part of his life, albeit white as you said.
2:19 it is Uwe Seeler, a german football Star and legend of the Hamburger SV football team, player and management. and all should be filmed in Hamburg.
It's in Hamburg. The Beginner came up end 90s and were definitely one of the biggest German Hip Hop groups in the early 2000s. Afterwards they often did solo projects and after some years came back together for some new group work. And that song was the first single of the second reunion, if I am not mistaken. It sounds a bit more gangsta than usual, especially through the chorus of Gzuz (who is part of another hip hop combo). And the the guy singing in Jamaican English is Gentleman, a German reggae artist from Cologne. (And the 'older guy' not rapping is the DJ)
The older guy is Uwe Seeler a German footballer from Hamburg and later football official. He was regarded as one of the best centre forwards in the world during his playing days. He died two years ago
Beginner, formery known as Absolute Beginner, is an OG German hip-hop group from Hamburg. their 1998 album Bambule is pretty much the best thing that happened to and within German hip-hop in the 90s (some may even say since..)
"Bambule" is a legendary classic, but "Gefährliches Halbwissen" by Eins, Zwo is even better. Another good one, deeply underrated, is "Daniel X" by D-Flame.
Hello from Germany... they are all Germans.... but Gentleman is a german raggae legend. Uwe Seeler... the old man you are saying is happy to be there: Beginner is happy to have him there... he is one of the best german scoccer players in german history. Thank you for this Reaction.... love it... by the way... the refrain means "what´s up, anticipate it"... ahnma - anticipate
4:20 He spend quite a while in Jamaica and (at least back in the days) he was respected by Jamaican artists, the new generation doesn't know him anymore I guess
Gentleman is not Jamaican, he's from Cologne. But there's a crazy video of him hitting the stage @ Bob Marley Center, Montego Bay in Jamaica as a 19 year-old in 1994.
They are Hip Hop legends from the 90s/00s. The first hook man Gzuz is a steet rapper, also from hamburg like the Beginner. The "jamaican" is Gentleman. He spend a lot of time in jamica and learned patwa. He did a lot of music since the the late 90s. He's famous in jamaica too. With this track the Beginner combined the old era of Hamburg Hip Hop with the new. Greetings from an old german Hip Hop head.
This is german hiphop from the late 80s early 90 all of dem are in this video. This is the finest essence of german hiphop: aggro, smartness, flow and soul.
They are a legendary HipHop Band from the mid 90s. Theil LP "Bambule" is regarded as one of the best german hiphop LPs. The whole video was shot in Hamburg, the older guy in the beginning was legendary german footballer Uwe Seeler (RIP) and the people in the end were all hamburg hip hop legends.
The guy you think is happy to be in the video is Uwe Seeler, one of the most legendary german football players of all time. In between he passed away, but every german football fan knows him, although he quitted decades ago.
Gentleman is pretty respected even in Jamaica as far as I know, because he's not just using the dialect but living the culture, there are videos from him singing in concert halls in Jamaica in the early 90s even. And yes, all of these people are older, in the end there are so many legends from Hamburg in the video, you should check out Sammy Deluxe, he was shown for a short moment, also D-Flame, haven't heard from him in forever but if you liked Gzuz' voice you will love his as well. And yes, Gzuz is the harder, serious guy, the Beginners never did that kind of gangster hip hop, they had serious topics and political stuff but it was still light and fun.
Ahnma is the name of the song the Band is called (absolute) Beginner, also that's not his Dad. That was Uwe Seeler legendary german (hamburg) Footballplayer who unfortunately already passed away.
Beginner indeed are german Hip-Hop Legends… (preceeded by Die Fantastischen 4 and Massive Töne) They (as many others) started out german Hip-Hop with loads of positivity, tracks that featured surprisingly inventive beats, their flow and ingenious lyrics. To understand how great they really are, you‘d not only need to speak german but also understand lots of the culture and know contemporaries they are cross-referencing to in their “lyrical equations”…
Gentleman is a great artist! I love him. He was the third person you heard. With the Jamaican flow. His genre is more in the roots reggae direction. All about one love, you know.
yeah G - not only is Gzuz´s voice sick, this guy is sickness himself! He´s for shure seen it all, and done it all. Credits to Beginner! Gentleman is a dancehall legend, who is for shure "moving the crowd". 20 years ago the venues where boiling, the crowd going crazy on his concerts. Glad he seems to be back in Hamburg from Jamaica.
Again, the "older guy" is Beginner's DJ Mad . One of the tightest DJ's in german Hip-Hop history. "Ahnma" means actually "Guess What" but in Hamburg street talk / colloquial language it means "Dig That". The "dad" guy is actually Uwe Seeler, but by now, you know that already ;-) Peace
Beginning of the 2000's Hip Hop was big in germany. They even had many colabs with US artists. DJ Tomekk "1,2,3 rhymes galore From New York to germany" is quite fun.
These Guys are absolute legends of hip hop in germany. You should watch the other songs of them. And there are many more. Samy deluxe. Fettes Brot. Fantastischen Vier. And many more.
Yes this is my hometown. The most beautiful City in the world....or at least in Germany😉We get a kind of Hamburg hymn called "nordish by nature" by Fettes Brot. I would love to see your reaction to this one. More than thirty years old,still a great one.
@@StationeryJunkieGirl I just talked about the video nordisch by nature wich was made in Hamburg Fischmarkt area. Btw they see themselves as Hamburger Jungs. I mean Schenefeld/ Hamburg....come on
Gentleman is from Cologne/GER, but since when he performed together with YellowMan at Jamaica he hit a No1 Album there. In Jamaica. As a German. Sick. 👌
The singers come from Hamburg. A big, famous port… world-open and crazy. The Patoi-singer lived in Jamaika… there he is famous and loved by jamaican musicians.
At the beginning on the steps, the older looking guy in the background is the DJ called DJ Mad, the guy with cap was "Eisfeld", his MC Name hes also known as "Jan Delay", and the guy on the right was Denyo. The three if them are the "Beginner", it would be "starter" or "rookies" in english. The guy at the end was Gentleman, a German Regea artist from my hometown Cologne. He isn't Jamaican but he lived there a half of his life.
The mean looking guy is Gzuz. He's part of a group called 187 Straßenbande. Beginner is quite an old and legendary hip hop trio from Hamburg. The entire video was set in Hamburg, since all of them are from there. If you liked Gzuz sound you should listen to CL500, that's a great song by him!
whoa - I suggested this 😍 The video takes place in Hamburg - the song is Ahnma, the band Beginner, formerly Absolute Beginner in the late 90s - this was the first single they released after a long hiatus.
You absolutely should check some songs from "Deichkind", for instance "yippi, yippi yeah" (or remmidemmi as most ppl call it), "arbeit nervt", "sone musik", "in der natur", "auch im bentley wird geweint", "leider geil"... They put it tonthe next level...
Gentlemen is a german guy: Gentleman has travelled to Jamaica regularly since he was 18 years old.[1] His career began with the collaboration of the band Freundeskreis which produced the song "Tabula Rasa". After beginning his career as a deejay, he based his style to the classic form of the reggae genre like that of Bob Marley. He sings mainly in English or Jamaican Patois. With songs like "Send a Prayer", Gentleman expresses his deep belief in God. His album, Confidence, climbed to number 1 on the German album charts in 2004.
Die Beginner is a Hip Hop group from the 90s. They had a lot more members on their first album and they called themselves Die Absoluten Beginner. Later they dropped the "absolut" and the three older guys are the ones that remained for the most part of the time. Gzus is the guy with the deep voice and the other one is Gentleman.
The beginners have been around since the 1990s breakthrough was the album Bambule. The three of them have had a big impact on German hip hop and are now something of a pensioner. Feel free to watch old videos from the beginners.
in min 1:50, you're talking about DJ Mad. Beginner (formerly Absolute Beginners) are a crew of now 3 guys: Jan Phillipp Eißfeldt (aka Jan Delay or Eizi Eiz) Denis Lisk (aka Denyo) and Guido Weiß (aka DJ Mad) those 3 are a legendary Hip hop Group in germany they coined the genre and started their career in the early 90's Gzuz is part of a new generation of German Hiphop the DMX vibe guy. Gentleman is the Reggae guy.
I've have mentioned some German hip hop groups already in a previous video but I would really like to see your reaction (especially the lyrics) to >Samy Deluxe - Weck mich auf
The guy singing in Patois is Gentleman. He's doing Reggae and Dancehall for around 30 years now and is also well-known in Jamaica. Four years ago he released his first Reggae album in German. Would be great if you could check and react to tracks like "Time Out" for example. And thanks a lot for reacting to all those great artists like Seeed/Peter Fox, Deichkind, AnnenMayKantereit, Beginner or Fanta 4. There's also a lot of bad German music but you always select the good ones. Big up.
The Beginner had Germany's very first studio album in 2003, which reached number 1 in the charts. And that even directly after its release. Gentleman is a reggae artist who is very well known in Germany and Jamaica and has adopted the Rastafarian religion and is accepted there as such, which is not normally the case for outsiders or foreigners. Gzuz was relatively new to the scene at the time, but not necessarily accepted by many Beginner fans because of the tracks he usually made. The beats, made by DJ MAD, are without exception excellent. Greetings go out
Hey man, greetings from germany! Had a lot of fun watching your reaction! Impressive how many things you're assuming right just from watching and hearing. Keep up with your videos!
In the last moments you see all of the German HipHop Icons from teh early 2000 . Samy Deluxe, AfroMan , Max Herre, Gentleman( wich is from Germany and Lifes on Jamaica) and so many more. I'm 45 now and still listen to the "old Guys" of German Hip Hop.. i don't like the new so called Hip Hop Star's here... the want to much be like the "good old Guys"
Thx for the throwback 🥳🥳🥳 This Music was my whole youth. And listen to this After so many years. Maaaan sometimes i like the Algorithms from RUclips😅🫶🏻 Greetz from Germany
The 3 guys from the start of the video are th beginners from Hamburg, the guy that raps the bridge is Gzuz and part of the Rapgang 187 Straßenbande and from Hamburg, too. The guy thar sings the hook is Gentlman and comes from Cologne, he lived in Jamaica to skill his raggae music talent
Thats the finest you could listen to in german Oldschool Hip Hop (Beginner), Reggea (Gentleman) and the street rap top of the top right now (GZUZ) !!!!!!
Gentleman is a German Rap Artist who had lived in Jamaica , he killed the jamaican accent its a Beauty to listen to his Songs , iam also from germany ❤
Yes they're Legendary. Absolute Beginner and 5 Sterne Deluxe and Sido. They defined HipHop in Germany in the end of 90s and early 00s. You gotta listen more of this. Also listen KIZ, Aggro Berlin😂 Frauenarzt😂 you'll like it.
This is Hamburg in Germany, Dude😅 a wonderful place. I love this city😊 in past i have seen jan deelay riding on his bike in Altona. GREETS from Berlin.
At the beginning you are hearing the horns of Jericho. An original take by John Constantine. Or it was a horn of a ship on the river called Elbe in Hamburg were this was filmed. Can’t remember exactly…
Its Hamburg and the deep Horn sound in the beginning is very reminiscent to the signal big ships make when the honk, which they often do when arriving in the harbor of the city, you can hear that often throughout the whole central city.
To explain, the beginners are a hip hop group from the 90s.They basically brought hip hop to Germany.They were very hyped, had a lot of number one hits, really good lyrical hip hop lyrics, great albums.They wrote lyrics that made us young people and children think. I would say that they also helped raise one or two of us through their music alone.The rapper whose voice you like so much is called Gzuz and also belongs to a hip hop group from Hamburg.Of course from the slightly younger generation.This feature was created because the beginners dared to make a comeback.The guy who sings the hook is gentleman, also a very well-known German reggae singer who sings in English.The city in which this was all filmed is of course the most beautiful city in Germany, Hamburg I hope I was able to help one or the other a little. Many greetings from Hamburg, the most beautiful city in Germany❤
Fakts: Yes, he is the Producer/DJ. And 1 of 3 guys. Named "Beginner" the other ons are named Jan Delay and Denjo they startet with Rap in the 90´. The guy with the deep voice is GZUZ. The City is Hamburg.
Yes the beginners aka Die Absoluten Beginner are a legend rap group in germany, they make hip hop till the 90`s. And the first rapper in this song was Eisfeld aka Jan Delay and he made a lot of very good hip hop in germany and also reaggea in Germany.
I can tell, when da day comes, that this group is stopping killing beats and refreshing the scene German Hip Hop will be dead! True Legends. Part of my life since 90's. PEACE 'N OUT! Germany Greetings.

Thank you for this Reaction.... love it... by the way... the refrain means "what´s up, anticipate it"... ahnma - anticipate
It's the whole Hamburg musicians posse shouting out a monument for their hometownband scene ✨
4:20 He spend quite a while in Jamaica and (at least back in the days) he was respected by Jamaican artists, the new generation doesn't know him anymore I guess
Ahnma means something like check this. And ‚the old Mann‘ (2:00) is Uwe Seeler! He was a pro soccer player from Hamburg😂
Uwe Seeler Ehrenmann💪
Your enthusiasm taught me about the magic of german HipHop, thanks for that.
Gentleman is not Jamaican, he's from Cologne. But there's a crazy video of him hitting the stage @ Bob Marley Center, Montego Bay in Jamaica as a 19 year-old in 1994.
No, he‘s from Osnabrück But hasn’t lived there for a long time..
He grew up there as the son of a pastor.
Osnabrück!
@@unwichtig5884 Gentleman is German but he spent a lot of time in Jamaica since hes 18 and gave a lot of concerts there.
@@unwichtig5884 I have a sneaking suspicion that you guys are from Osnabrück …
I really love this live performance of gentleman ....
I'd assume that Uwe Seeler knows exactly what he's doing there. He's a famous former football player from Hamburg, he's really a legend.
They are Hip Hop legends from the 90s/00s. The first hook man Gzuz is a steet rapper, also from hamburg like the Beginner. The "jamaican" is Gentleman. He spend a lot of time in jamica and learned patwa. He did a lot of music since the the late 90s. He's famous in jamaica too.
With this track the Beginner combined the old era of Hamburg Hip Hop with the new.
Greetings from an old german Hip Hop head.
This is german hiphop from the late 80s early 90 all of dem are in this video. This is the finest essence of german hiphop: aggro, smartness, flow and soul.
They are a legendary HipHop Band from the mid 90s. Theil LP "Bambule" is regarded as one of the best german hiphop LPs. The whole video was shot in Hamburg, the older guy in the beginning was legendary german footballer Uwe Seeler (RIP) and the people in the end were all hamburg hip hop legends.
The guy you think is happy to be in the video is Uwe Seeler, one of the most legendary german football players of all time. In between he passed away, but every german football fan knows him, although he quitted decades ago.
they are legends :) you were absolutely right !
Gentleman is pretty respected even in Jamaica as far as I know, because he's not just using the dialect but living the culture, there are videos from him singing in concert halls in Jamaica in the early 90s even. And yes, all of these people are older, in the end there are so many legends from Hamburg in the video, you should check out Sammy Deluxe, he was shown for a short moment, also D-Flame, haven't heard from him in forever but if you liked Gzuz' voice you will love his as well. And yes, Gzuz is the harder, serious guy, the Beginners never did that kind of gangster hip hop, they had serious topics and political stuff but it was still light and fun.
Ahnma is the name of the song the Band is called (absolute) Beginner, also that's not his Dad. That was Uwe Seeler legendary german (hamburg) Footballplayer who unfortunately already passed away.
What does Ahnma mean?
@@callisto2895 it means "fathom this" / "figure it out".
@@callisto2895 My choice : "(er)ahne mal"
@@callisto2895 guess what, take a guess
okay, thanks all. I thought this was some Turkish word. Thanks!
Beginner indeed are german Hip-Hop Legends… (preceeded by Die Fantastischen 4 and Massive Töne)
They (as many others) started out german Hip-Hop with loads of positivity, tracks that featured surprisingly inventive beats, their flow and ingenious lyrics.
To understand how great they really are, you‘d not only need to speak german but also understand lots of the culture and know contemporaries they are cross-referencing to in their “lyrical equations”…
Gentleman is a great artist! I love him. He was the third person you heard. With the Jamaican flow. His genre is more in the roots reggae direction. All about one love, you know.
yeah G - not only is Gzuz´s voice sick, this guy is sickness himself! He´s for shure seen it all, and done it all. Credits to Beginner! Gentleman is a dancehall legend, who is for shure "moving the crowd". 20 years ago the venues where boiling, the crowd going crazy on his concerts. Glad he seems to be back in Hamburg from Jamaica.
Again, the "older guy" is Beginner's DJ Mad . One of the tightest DJ's in german Hip-Hop history. "Ahnma" means actually "Guess What" but in Hamburg street talk / colloquial language it means "Dig That". The "dad" guy is actually Uwe Seeler, but by now, you know that already ;-) Peace
I love to speak German. Really enjoy my language. ❤ thanks for sharing these
Beginning of the 2000's Hip Hop was big in germany. They even had many colabs with US artists.
DJ Tomekk "1,2,3 rhymes galore From New York to germany" is quite fun.
These Guys are absolute legends of hip hop in germany. You should watch the other songs of them. And there are many more. Samy deluxe. Fettes Brot. Fantastischen Vier. And many more.
Yes this is my hometown. The most beautiful City in the world....or at least in Germany😉We get a kind of Hamburg hymn called "nordish by nature" by Fettes Brot.
I would love to see your reaction to this one. More than thirty years old,still a great one.
Yes, definitely recommend Fettes Brot. Legends❣️ The older HipHop is Soo much better then today 🥰
Yeeees please!!!❤
Although, strictly speaking, Fettes Brot are not from Hamburg, they are from Schenefeld.
@@StationeryJunkieGirl
I just talked about the video nordisch by nature wich was made in Hamburg Fischmarkt area.
Btw they see themselves as Hamburger Jungs. I mean Schenefeld/ Hamburg....come on
@@majav.4887 Na, gut... 😉
Gentleman is from Cologne/GER, but since when he performed together with YellowMan at Jamaica he hit a No1 Album there. In Jamaica. As a German. Sick. 👌
at the end all those guys are old school German hip hop legends from the 90s and 2000s who started hip hop in Germany.
The singers come from Hamburg. A big, famous port… world-open and crazy. The Patoi-singer lived in Jamaika… there he is famous and loved by jamaican musicians.
0:22 - Hamburg in Northern Germany - I live in a town next to Hamburg at the town border.
At the beginning on the steps, the older looking guy in the background is the DJ called DJ Mad, the guy with cap was "Eisfeld", his MC Name hes also known as "Jan Delay", and the guy on the right was Denyo. The three if them are the "Beginner", it would be "starter" or "rookies" in english. The guy at the end was Gentleman, a German Regea artist from my hometown Cologne. He isn't Jamaican but he lived there a half of his life.
The mean looking guy is Gzuz. He's part of a group called 187 Straßenbande. Beginner is quite an old and legendary hip hop trio from Hamburg. The entire video was set in Hamburg, since all of them are from there.
If you liked Gzuz sound you should listen to CL500, that's a great song by him!
whoa - I suggested this 😍
The video takes place in Hamburg - the song is Ahnma, the band Beginner, formerly Absolute Beginner in the late 90s - this was the first single they released after a long hiatus.
You absolutely should check some songs from "Deichkind", for instance "yippi, yippi yeah" (or remmidemmi as most ppl call it), "arbeit nervt", "sone musik", "in der natur", "auch im bentley wird geweint", "leider geil"... They put it tonthe next level...
Gentlemen is a german guy: Gentleman has travelled to Jamaica regularly since he was 18 years old.[1] His career began with the collaboration of the band Freundeskreis which produced the song "Tabula Rasa". After beginning his career as a deejay, he based his style to the classic form of the reggae genre like that of Bob Marley. He sings mainly in English or Jamaican Patois. With songs like "Send a Prayer", Gentleman expresses his deep belief in God. His album, Confidence, climbed to number 1 on the German album charts in 2004.
Beginners are absolute Top Tier, nice!
They are absolute legends!
Die Beginner is a Hip Hop group from the 90s. They had a lot more members on their first album and they called themselves Die Absoluten Beginner. Later they dropped the "absolut" and the three older guys are the ones that remained for the most part of the time. Gzus is the guy with the deep voice and the other one is Gentleman.
😂😂😂😂 blamier dich doch nicht
Junge junge glaubst du beginner hat nix mit rap zu tub
The beginners have been around since the 1990s breakthrough was the album Bambule. The three of them have had a big impact on German hip hop and are now something of a pensioner. Feel free to watch old videos from the beginners.
in min 1:50, you're talking about DJ Mad. Beginner (formerly Absolute Beginners) are a crew of now 3 guys: Jan Phillipp Eißfeldt (aka Jan Delay or Eizi Eiz) Denis Lisk (aka Denyo) and Guido Weiß (aka DJ Mad) those 3 are a legendary Hip hop Group in germany they coined the genre and started their career in the early 90's Gzuz is part of a new generation of German Hiphop the DMX vibe guy. Gentleman is the Reggae guy.
Yes, they are legendary. You got it. Each of them.
Pretty much on point :)
At the End...The hole video is full with german Hip Hop Legends...
Love your Videos Bro
I've have mentioned some German hip hop groups already in a previous video but I would really like to see your reaction (especially the lyrics) to >Samy Deluxe - Weck mich auf
Beginners and Gentleman are absolut legends...❤❤
Gentleman is german best reggae music
Haven't heard him in a while. He's so good though!
Saw two reactions with german hip hop groops; instant suscription - more german music please!
Please react to Gentleman - Dem Gone (MTV Unplugged)
He's German but his wife is from Jamaica.
Uwe Seeler a football legend from Hamburg 🙄
The guy singing in Patois is Gentleman. He's doing Reggae and Dancehall for around 30 years now and is also well-known in Jamaica. Four years ago he released his first Reggae album in German. Would be great if you could check and react to tracks like "Time Out" for example. And thanks a lot for reacting to all those great artists like Seeed/Peter Fox, Deichkind, AnnenMayKantereit, Beginner or Fanta 4. There's also a lot of bad German music but you always select the good ones. Big up.
The Beginner had Germany's very first studio album in 2003, which reached number 1 in the charts. And that even directly after its release. Gentleman is a reggae artist who is very well known in Germany and Jamaica and has adopted the Rastafarian religion and is accepted there as such, which is not normally the case for outsiders or foreigners. Gzuz was relatively new to the scene at the time, but not necessarily accepted by many Beginner fans because of the tracks he usually made. The beats, made by DJ MAD, are without exception excellent. Greetings go out
Hey man, greetings from germany! Had a lot of fun watching your reaction! Impressive how many things you're assuming right just from watching and hearing.
Keep up with your videos!
In the last moments you see all of the German HipHop Icons from teh early 2000 . Samy Deluxe, AfroMan , Max Herre, Gentleman( wich is from Germany and Lifes on Jamaica) and so many more. I'm 45 now and still listen to the "old Guys" of German Hip Hop.. i don't like the new so called Hip Hop Star's here... the want to much be like the "good old Guys"

Ahnma is the song :-) video was shot in Hamburg. You picked a great song/ video! And yes - these guys are German hiphop legends!
At the beginning you are hearing the horns of Jericho. An original take by John Constantine.
Or it was a horn of a ship on the river called Elbe in Hamburg were this was filmed. Can’t remember exactly…
The Absolute Beginners are GOATS from Hamburg City, love this track! They came back after 13 years with this banger! AHNMA DIGGA!!!
Its Hamburg and the deep Horn sound in the beginning is very reminiscent to the signal big ships make when the honk, which they often do when arriving in the harbor of the city, you can hear that often throughout the whole central city.
This clip by x1,25 is damn nice 🎉
Greetings from Austria 🇦🇹✌️
German beats are HUGE! :-)
And YES, the 3rd guy is doing the beat(s)
Thank you very much, dear Dwayne, I enjoyed your react thoroughly. Shouts from beautiful Hamburg and the river Elbe to Penny Lane along the Mersey.
To explain, the beginners are a hip hop group from the 90s.They basically brought hip hop to Germany.They were very hyped, had a lot of number one hits, really good lyrical hip hop lyrics, great albums.They wrote lyrics that made us young people and children think. I would say that they also helped raise one or two of us through their music alone.The rapper whose voice you like so much is called Gzuz and also belongs to a hip hop group from Hamburg.Of course from the slightly younger generation.This feature was created because the beginners dared to make a comeback.The guy who sings the hook is gentleman, also a very well-known German reggae singer who sings in English.The city in which this was all filmed is of course the most beautiful city in Germany, Hamburg
I hope I was able to help one or the other a little. Many greetings from Hamburg, the most beautiful city in Germany❤
straight to the playlist
love you reaction! much love from Germany...
Fakts: Yes, he is the Producer/DJ. And 1 of 3 guys. Named "Beginner" the other ons are named Jan Delay and Denjo they startet with Rap in the 90´. The guy with the deep voice is GZUZ. The City is Hamburg.
Yes the beginners aka Die Absoluten Beginner are a legend rap group in germany, they make hip hop till the 90`s. And the first rapper in this song was Eisfeld aka Jan Delay and he made a lot of very good hip hop in germany and also reaggea in Germany.
I can tell, when da day comes, that this group is stopping killing beats and refreshing the scene German Hip Hop will be dead! True Legends. Part of my life since 90's. PEACE 'N OUT! Germany Greetings.
