This music video for a rap song entitled Thaiboxbrüderschaft (Thai Boxing Brotherhood), which was composed and produced by the project team themselves, is actually a gangster rap parody. The primary aim was to create a take-off of the countless gangster rap songs and to use exaggeration to parody it.

Pimped rides, extreme vanity, hot bitches—as scantily clad as possible, of course—and a break-dance move are only a few of the typical wannabe-gangster clichés. Thus, this video parodies not only a certain genre but also an entire subculture, albeit in a humorous and not at all mean-spirited way.

The idea for this video emerged in conjunction with a project we did with the music teacher, El Battistello.
