I Mean It, This is the Last Time: Osdorp Posse and "De Alcohol-List"



Today's random tune is by the Osdorp Posse, a group out of Amsterdam, the Netherlands, who was one of the first groups to rap in Dutch and have been a great influence on the Dutch rap and hip-hop scene. The group was influenced by gangsta rap, and initially was shunned by the media because of their extreme sound. They disbanded in 2008 after recording their last album, 2 Decennia, which also features an additional CD of remixes of some of their songs. This song, De Alcohol-List, is from the remix CD of 2 Decennia - and I have included below their original version from the same album as well. The song is an anti-drinking song, of sorts, though the singer eventually decides to quit quitting alcohol.
