I heard "Watskeburt" got some airplay in the UK. Any plans to break out into the English-speaking world? Nederhop icon Brainpower in rapping in English these days, and he's not terrible at it.
No actual plans — what we do is what we do. I don't know if it would work in English. We have some stuff we recorded with Ninjasonik, though, so we'll see what happens.
To finish this off, want to give a quick shout-out to all the American fans? Go ahead and do it in Dutch, so we'll have no idea what you're saying.
BEGIN GELD TE BRENGEN NAAR NEDERLAND VRIEND!!!!
De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig's new album, De Lachende Derde ("The Laughing Third"), is out now on Top Notch records. I tried ordering it from some Dutch site, but it never showed up, probably because I don't know Dutch and just kind of guessed what all the address fields meant.
