Pompa / Summer Cem

Fucking hell

You're seeing it right, I did the impossible and stepped Deutschrap. Song has a bit of a backstory, back in last year when I was accepting requests for my pack, a certain person with a yellow profile picture requested this song. I winced but accepted because I thought it would be funny. So here we go...

Obviously this is completely different from anything I've submitted in a contest in the last 2+ years - it's a 1) German 2) hip-hop song which has a 3) EXPERT 9 (NINE) as it's hardest singles chart. I've done 11s before but this is new territory for me.
"But that means this file is going to do poorly for sure!" - nope! Much of this file is inspired from the OG, the one that did it in the first place, none other than t7r's TAMAM TAMAM file from...well, exactly this time last year. I remember the reactions this got when it was uploaded in the first place (mostly me hating it), a lot of fun was had, but also a decent amount of surprise when it ended up getting 3rd place in that week. Very respectable that a X-scale 8 (now 9) could get that high in a contest which some people think "hates easy files". That is a pretty high target!

The Double Expert chart is a lot harder, it has a lower notecount but due to the very low BPM I thought I could afford some more crazy movement, it's kind of in the style of some of the HOTTEST PARTY revivals from 2013-2014 when they got all-new Doubles charts and went a lot more creative with them.

How exactly does this apply to the theme? Well, it's...

- A song with German lyrics, of which there are exactly zero of in all DDR games (really)
- It's german rap...most of the time there is hiphop in DDR it's Japanese (obviously)
- A lot of the video is depicting Summer rapping on the cover of what appears to be a bottle of alcohol. This is due to the song being a cooperation / content placement with the alcohol giant Jägermeister. (Just noting that's totally responsible, marketing alcohol to a fanbase which is probably mostly underage, but it's Germany FWIW, we're no strangers to glorification of alcohol.)

The song itself is of course total penis, it's less of an """""earworm""""" than Tamam Tamam was, which is not that surprising due to the fact that the song is considered somewhat of a "flop" due to it's relatively low view count (8 million vs. Tamam Tamam's 275 million!!), however it does lend itself fairly well to DDR. Most of the charts alternate between following the instrumentals and the vocals, and there is more rhythmical variety in both of those than one would have expected.

Still, I hated almost all of it. But it's also pretty funny.

Special Thanks to t7r for helping with the song and especially video cut, I always struggle with that kind of stuff. I sincerely hope you enjoy this file dude!
