ZurBegründung says that controversial lines of text would be in genre of gangsta-Rapgerecht, for which freedom of art, which is enshrined in Constitution, applies. In decision, which had been served to parties involved, it was said that y were lyrics vollervulgärer, human and women-paying violence and sex fantasies.
One of most criticized lines is: “My body is more defined than VonAuschwitzinsassen”. This, however, is neir an endorsement nor eineVerharmlosung of Nazi rule and its genocide, according to DieStaatsanwaltschaft. The comparison of concentration camp occupants with ir own body mögegeschmacklos be, but: it does not represent denial of Holocaust. Gleichesgelte for line “make once again a Holocaust”. DieseAnkündigung is neir an invitation to violence nor a trivialization of Holocaust. The essence of gangsta rap is now glorification VonKriminalität and violence.
