German rapper Samy Deluxe debuted in the early ‘00s, but his quick, versatile flows showed how closely he'd studied the music of his U.S. forebears. His clips proved that he was taking notes on their visuals, too, with “Poesiealbum” revealing a notebook full of fresh, angular graffiti script and “Stumm” reimagining an urban landscape by rendering it in unique claymation.
