through various videos and articles on the topic has become known, the situation escalated on Saturday when Rheinkultur Festival at the Bonn Rheinaue on the stage Mixery Raw Deluxe . The free music event exceeded this year with a total of 160,000 visitors (organizers estimate of) the number of visitors from the previous year to more than double. Since we were also there, we want to make the attempt in the following before the events and to reconstruct around the time of escalation on the hip hop scene using our observations and interviews with participants again.

From 12.00 noon

clock appeared on the four stages, artists from different musical genres. At the beginning of hip-hop scene did e.g. FR, Montana Max & Shiml and Aphrodisias in peaceful and relaxed atmosphere.

While increasingly more and more people gathered in front of and around the hip hop scene occurred, then with about a half hour delay Chakuza, who was able to finish his show properly before the euphoric Fanmassen. At this time the area around the stage was already Mixery all expectations so crowded that the organizers had to decide during the subsequent appearance of self-made artist Favorite also because of disturbances in the first series to abort the event that first. The first bottles were flying and the additional indication of host site, that the event could only be continued if calm down the front rows, and light, which also took not to, which is now set in motion dynamics among the violent “fan” – in front of groups of stopping stage.

For in the expectation that they would now continue on the festival arrived warrant the program, as originally planned, completed, the site continues and the sound from the loud “arrest warrant” chanting “fans” from the first series has been steadily aggressive.

About a half hour after

Favorite cancel his show had, and we could hear during this period no visible response from the organizers, then escalated the situation completely. The eventual announcement that the performances of arrest warrant and then the following artists would no longer take place, which always already heated atmosphere brought to a climax, so the black sheep who have previously signaled been violent with bottle throwing, the force access to the stage and backstage area procured for their pent-up anger out directly admit to the organizers and rappers.

Added

must be, however, that the security forces apparently did not have the qualification, are emerging that the dynamics of a nip in the bud early on to prevent any escalation.

Our estimates suggest it was at the “black sheep” around one hundred to two hundred violent supporters who will not communicate, as in various other media, “rival” in the conflict were, but rather uniformly their displeasure over the non – appearance of artist wanted to make known, because they had traveled.

Regardless of the exact reconstruction of the course of events but overall it is sad that it happened. Sorry for the hip hop culture in its public image and bad for those who combine a visit to an event in this context now with a bad feeling.

also a pity that at an event where several thousands have gathered peacefully Rapfans, have confirmed a few hundred exceptions to the stereotypes often complained about rap music or Straßenrapmusik and a nice platform for hip-hop as a cultural festival Rhine in the future, probably on a separate stage for rap. is
