Parazitii

Overview

[:ro]Parazitii sunt una dintre primele trupe de hip-hop din Romania, un nume care din 1994 a reusit sa ramana fidel genului si sa provoace la fiecare piesa si album lansat. Primul lor disc a aparut in 1995 si a facut istorie, fiind cel de-al doilea album rap lansat vreodata in Romania, iar succesul acestui material le-a adus si un contract cu o casa de discuri. Doar un an mai tarziu vin cu Nimic Normal, iar in 1997  cu Suta, disc ce va fi numit cel mai bun album de gen al acelui an. Parazitii continua seria de premiere in muzica romaneasca, iar in 1999 sunt prima trupa care primeste drepturi de autor pentru realizarea unei coloane sonore pentru un film international - Nordrand. Acelasi an inseamna si venirea in grup a celui care va schimba fata scratch-urilor in muzica romaneasca - FreakaDaDisk, fost membru al altuui grup rap, Morometzii.  Tot in 1999 apare si poate cel mai bun album din istoria Parazitii, Nici o problema, pentru ca apoi in fiecare an sa vina cu cate un nou disc: Iarta-ma, Categoria Grea sau Irefutabil, unul dintre cele mai bune materiale ale genului si cel mai bine vandut din cariera trupei - peste 140 de mii de unitati. In perioada 2003- 2004 apar discurile solo semnate de Cheloo si Ombladon - Sindromul Tourette respectiv Condoleante, iar trupa isi lanseaza si propriul label, 20CM Records, moment in care vor lansa si albumul lor aniversar - Primii 10 ani.  La finalul anului 2005 va fi lansat albumul Confort 3, promovat prin piesa Praf, iar apoi trupa intra intr-o pauza pentru ca membrii se concentreaza pe noile lor albume solo. In 2006 Cheloo vine cu cel de-al doilea sau album, Fabricant de gunoi, promovat prin intermediul a doua videoclipuri, pentru in ca in 2007 sa apara piesa Noapte buna, Bucuresti, o colaborare cu Guess Who si prima piesa de pe albumul Cel mai prost din curtea scolii lansat de Ombladom. Trei ani mai tarziu, Parazitii se intorc cu discul Tot ce e bun trebuie sa dispara care va fi foarte promovat datorita piesei Arde ce se va auzi din internet in cluburi pe heavy rotation. De-a lungul anilor, Parazitii au aparut si pe coloanele sonore ale unor filme ca Visul lui Liviu, Marfa si banii sau Milionari de weekend si au reusit sa schimbe felul in care muzica rap este tratata de radiouri si televiziuni. Campaniile lor anticenzura au modificat perspectiva, iar presa nu a mai fost amendata pentru difuzarea si promovarea materialelor lor sau a altor artisti rap. In plus, au facut parte din campanii anti-playback dar si cu mesaje sociale - Instigarea la cultura.[:en]Parazitii are one of the first hip-hop bands in Romania, a name that since 1994 has remained faithful to the genre and have provoked with every song and album released. Their first album released in 1995 was a historic moment, being the second hip-hop album ever launched in Romania, and its success also brought them a contract with a record label. Just a year later it was followed by Nimic Normal  and in 1997 they returned with Suta, a record named the best of its genre for that year. Parazitii continue the series of premiers in Romanian music and in 1999 they were the first band that received a fee for writing a musical score for a movie - Nordrand. The same year marked the arrival in the band of the person that will change the face of Romanian scratching., FreakaDaDisk, former member of another rap group, Morometzii. Also in 1999 maybe the band's best album is released, Nici o problema, followed almost yearly by a new disc:  Iarta-ma, Categoria grea and Irefutabil, one of the best rap albums and their best selling discs with over 140,000 copies. During the years 2003-2004 the solo albums by Cheloo and Ombladon are released - Sindromul Tourette and Condoleante, while the band launches its own label, 20CM Records at the same moment with the release of their anniversary  disc- Primii 10 ani. By the end of the year 2005 a new album appears, Confort 3, promoted by the song Praf, followed by a hiatus while the band members concentrated on their solo projects. In 2006, Cheloo returns with his second solo material, Fabricant de gunoi, promoted by two videos, while in 2007 Ombladon releases Cel mai prost din curtea scolii promoted by the song Noapte buna, Bucuresti featuring Guess Who. Three years later, Parazitii release Tot ce e bun trebuie sa dispara, heavily advertised by the song Arde which was a hit in clubs and on the internet. Over time, Parazitii have been included in various movie soundtracks like Visul lui Liviu, Marfa si banii or Milionari de Weekend and have managed to change the way rap music is viewed by radio and television. Their anti-censorship campaigns modified the perspective and the media was no longer fined for promoting and broadcasting them or other rap artists.
