Pikku G. You foreign people (oh, sweetly ignorant foreigners!) are blissfully unaware of this new star of Finnish rap scene. And you should be, as Pikku G raps in Finnish. I'm not a big fan of rap in general, and Finnish-language rap is generally horrifying. But Pikku G... he distills everything bad and somehow makes it worse.
Pikku G... how should I describe him...? Well, let's just say he's 16 years old, has been at or near the top of Finnish album lists for some time now, and the nearest comparison to his rapping are the raps on those school educational videos. You remember school educational videos, don't they? They have wacky but educational situations which proceed zanily and at the end everything is resolved and everyone (including the tightarsed but basically lovable principal) joins in an improptu rap, whereupon any normal student, no matter what his usual reaction to rap music is, begins considering what's the most discreet way to bludgon oneself dead with the school desk top.
Well, that's Pikku G. I don't like Anssi Kela, either - there's something very, very disturbing about Anssi Kela, like he's the average of every Finnish pop/rock singer with lifey lyrics ever - but at least he's unthroned Pikku G - for a moment. But I fear it is not enough.
Look, you foreign people, just consider yourself lucky. Some of you may even go as far as download Pikku G tunes from P2P networks, though I doubt most of you care about the shadow that has fallen over Finland. But even if you do DL, you won't understand the lyrics. The lyrics are the worst part.
