Snap! Feat. Einstein

Artiestinformatie

Land	Duitsland

Snap! is een Duitse eurodance- en rapact die in eerste helft van de jaren negentig grote successen boekte. De groep wordt opgericht door de producers Benito Benites (Michael Münzing) en John "Virgo" Garrett III (Luca Anzilotti).

Bijzonder aan Snap! is, behalve de snelheid waarmee de act rappers (foto artiestenpagina: Turbo B.) en zangeressen verslijt, de constante reeks hits. Tussen de eerste hit The Power (4 weken nummer 1 in 1990) tot en met The First The Last Eternity (Til The End) uit 1995 eindigen maar liefst 11 singles op rij in de top 10. Daartussen zit ook de eurodance-klassieker Rhythm Is A Dancer, dat eveneens vier weken op 1 staat en in punten gemeten de allergrootste hit van 1992 was.

Na The World In My Hands (#37 in 1995) en Rame (#28 in 1996) droogt het hitsucces op. Er verschijnen nog enkele remixen, maar die blijven hangen in de Tipparade.

Jaren later wordt Snap! veel geboekt wanneer 90's-party's populair worden. In 2018 is Snap! één van de gast-acts bij de Toppers in de Johan Cruijff Arena.

Songtekst

I've got the power hey yeah heh
I've got the power
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh yeah-eah-eah-eah-eah-eah
I've got the power
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh yeah-eah-eah-eah-eah-eah
Gettin' kinda heavy

It's gettin' it's gettin' it's gettin' kinda hectic [4x]

Like the crack of the whip I snap attack
Front to back in this thing called rap
Dig it like a shovel rhyme devil
On a heavenly level
Bang the bass turn up the treble
Radical mind day and night all the time
Seven to fourteen wise divine
Maniac brainiac winning the game
I'm the lyrical Jesse James

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh yeah-eah-eah-eah-eah-eah
I've got the power
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh yeah
Gettin' kinda heavy
I've got the power

It's gettin' it's gettin' it's gettin' kinda heavy [4x]

I've got the power
He's gonna break my heart
He's gonna break my heart of hearts
He's gonna break my heart
He's gonna break my heart of hearts
He's got the power oh-oh-oh-oh
[2x]

I've got the power

It's gettin' it's gettin' it's gettin' kinda hectic [4x]
[2x]

Quality I possess something I'm fresh
When my voice goes through the rest
Of the microphone that I am holdin'
Copywritten lyrics so they can't be stolen
If they are snap
Don't need the police to try to save them
Your voice will sink so please stay off my back
Or I will attack and you don't want that

I've got the power
He's gonna break my heart
He's gonna break my heart of hearts
He's gonna break my heart
He's gonna break my heart of hearts
He's got the power oh-oh-oh-oh
[2x]

I've got the power
