Westberlin Maskulin was a German rap duo composed of Taktloss and Kool Savas. They parted in April 2000, due to "personal differences" and the duo remains defunct to this day. Neither Savas nor Taktloss have further commented on the event.
Musical style
Their lyrics were rich on metaphors and elements which some consider racist. With "Hoes, Flows, Moneytoes", they released the first example of modern day German battle rap, which relies heavily on provocation lyrics, black humor, sophisticated rhyme patterns and simplistic beats structures, mostly loops.
Westberlin Maskulin had influenced several rappers including Fler, Sido and K.I.Z.
In 2008 Fler and Godsilla released the album Südberlin Maskulin, as tribute to Westberlin Maskulin.
