Farid Bang
Unknown authorUnknown author · CC BY-SA 2.0

Farid Hamed El Abdellaoui (born 4 June 1986), better known as Farid Bang, is a German gangsta rapper of Moroccan descent. He’s from a part of Spain that’s on the North African coast, bordering Morocco. His parents are Moroccan. At the age of eight, he immigrated from Spain to Germany. Growing up, he idolised the American gangsta rapper 50 Cent, who inspired him to start rapping and working out. Farid Bang addresses the controversy that gangsta rap has a negative influence on youth, arguing that it generally has a positive impact on young men by helping them grow into mature men. He claims that the individuals who are negatively influenced by it often suffer from poor mental health, which causes them to misinterpret the message.
