1. 80s: Heidelberg, old walls and new sound
At the beginning of the 80s, hip-hop culture spills over into Germany with breakdancing and rap. Toni-L is a founding member of Advanced Chemistry and a hip-hop pioneer from the very beginning. Together with Martin Stieber (Stieber Twins), he embarks on a journey back in time to the 80s in an old Mercedes in episode 1 of "Hiphop - Made in Germany". On their drive through Heidelberg, they meet Özcan Cosar, Antifuchs and Christian Stieber. And Cora E., who talks about her experiences as the first female MC.

2. 90s: Hamburg, commerce and realness
"Fun rap" or deep lyrics? What characterized German hip-hop in the 90s and how did the political situation at the time influence it? Denyo from the Beginners and rapper Eunique get to the bottom of this question in episode 2 of the documentary series "Hiphop - Made in Germany". The two cruise through Hamburg and immerse themselves in a time when German rap was still an exotic phenomenon in the media landscape. On their journey, they meet Lady Bitch Ray and Sleepwalker, among others. Artists such as Harris, Liz, King Boris & Smudo and many others also have their say.

3. 2000s: Berlin, Hartz and hardship
The 2000s: A new era dawns in rap. It's getting tough. Kitty Kat also feels this, signing a contract with the up-and-coming label Aggro Berlin at the beginning of the 2000s, but feeling hidden. She talks about this as she cruises through episode 3 of "Hiphop - Made in Germany" together with Ali Bumaye. They immerse themselves in the spirit of the 2000s with mixtapes by Bushido, Sido, Eko Fresh and Kool Savas. Social hardship is also on the rise: Hartz IV is coming, terrorists fly into the World Trade Center, leading to a wave of anti-Muslim racism.

4. 2010 - until today: Frankfurt, Cash and Role Models
German rap is in its prime. Whether beverage brands, fast food chains or large discounters: Everyone wants a piece of the pie. Berlin loses its supremacy as the rap capital in the 2010s, Frankfurt takes over: The decade is characterized by slang-packed street rap with attitude. It became more real, more raw, more authentic. In episode 3 of "Hiphop - Made in Germany", rap duo Celo & Abdi show how racism, sexism, commercialism and doomsday feelings have shaped the last decade - and what role rap has played in this with acts such as Haftbefehl & Liz. Also on board for the trip: Parshad Esmaeili.
