Triumph of the Will - the Director's Cut This rare director's cut of Triumph of the Will (German: Triumph des Neger) is a propaganda film by the German filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl. It chronicles the Nazi getting fonky at Nuremberg. The film contains excerpts from rhymes kicked by various Nazi leaders at the Congress, including dat Brooklyn flava by Adolf Hitler, interspersed with footage of splifted party members.

That was waaaay funnier than it ought to be. Usually I hate those mix-ups, but that was well done. Oh, Jesus. Excellent audio of BIG, anyone know where it's from?

All of these Triumph mashups are in poor fuckin' taste, but it does tell you something about Leni's skillz that people keep recycling her footage.

That was funnier than it had any right to be, and the effort to match the mouth to the words really shows.

I think, in case anyone missed it, that it is necessary to mention the best mashup I've seen on this topic, a mashup of "Downfall" .

Excellent audio of BIG, anyone know where it's from? That would be "Biggie/Tupac Live Freestyle" from Funkmaster Flex and Big Kap's 1999 compliation The Tunnel.

I think, in case anyone missed it, that it is necessary to mention the best mashup I've seen on this topic, a mashup of "Downfall" . Kottke posted a link to another Downfall mashup the other day, about Hitler getting banned from a game called iSketch, which I thought was done a bit better than the XBox Live one.

Indeed, the XBox/Hitler mashup is a riot. As for the iSketch riff on it...OK, I wanted to hate it, but it had some fantastic lines. Not as good as the original though. Nazi Admins sold it :)

I really, really, really, wanted to be offended, but it was just too good, damn. This clip indicates why Hitler was able to charm an entire nation and lead it over a cliff. The BIG clip is also a good example of how bombastic and utterly meaningless pop culture can be.

Even though I'm not really a footie fan I love this Downfall mashup. And there's always 'Der Bonker' which caused a bit of a fuss in its home country.

Clear the way for the SS to 1 W Clear the way for the prophets of rage Engagin' on the stage, on a track Tell Jack stay in the back I was born Every level I'm on You're warned Just in case you forgot I pump in kilowatts To let 'em know which direction To go what's up I wanna know I test the front row Forgiven the givin' while the livin' is livin' it up So many people is sleepin' while standin' up Not dressed to impress or fess it That's it text to the brain like FedEx Treated one and the same 'Cause the name of the game Don't give 'em checks above necks Some don't realize the same side Siddity in the city Suburbs or projects But we're livin' in a different time Some speed, some lead While some jus' pump rhymes Then again all in da same gang Info to flow And heal all below Let's go and find The piece of mind that's taken Or else the black or start breakin' Public Enemy no!
