Wer wusste? Sandra Bullock kann Deutsch--stark und selbstsicher!

Schau dir mal an--Deutscher Rap ist mit dem Englischen gleichartig! Gleichen Themen, gleicher Takt. Rap ist universal!

Also hier ist ein Medley aus "Wicked: Die Hexen von Oz". Ein Freund hat's uns gesendet--deshalb schreibe ich heute auf deutsch.

Ja ja, halt's Maul, mein Deutsch ist beschissen--leck mich! ;)

Here's a translation. And yes, the admiration for German rap should be taken with a grain or two of salt.

Anyway, here:

Who knew?
Sandra Bullock can speak German--strong and confident.

Look--German rap is the same as English! Same themes, same beat. Rap is universal!

Here's a medley from "Wicked." A friend sent it to us--that's why I'm writing in German today.

Yeah, yeah, shut up, my German sucks--bite me!

Sandra Bullock lived in Germany for several years as a kid and became fluent. I read that in an article years ago.
