Gentrifisering er et fenomen i store byer som innebærer at arbeiderklassestrøk blir forvandlet til bydeler for mer velstående befolkningsgrupper. Samtidig forsvinner den opprinnelige befolkningen, bl.a. på grunn av økende boligpriser i området.

Det tidligere arbeiderklassestrøket Grünerløkka har opplevd dette fenomenet. Økte boligpriser førte til at den tradisjonelle befolkningen, stort sett bestående av arbeidere og invandrere, ble “erstattet” av akademikere og bedre stilte. Den tidligere befolkningen søkte seg til drabantbyene lenger øst i Oslo.

Denne prosessen er nå også i gang i bydelen Grønland.

Dette er sitert fra “Byen med det store hjertet” av Lillebjørn Nilsen, som er nevnt tidligere i sangen:

Byen med det store hjertet har et hjerte kaldt som is.
Der får du alt og ingenting. Og allting har sin pris.

Den linja er den av alt jeg har skrevet som flest folk har spurt meg hva betyr. Det betyr selvfølgelig at jeg er Romsåsgutt.

Da jeg skreiv “Nilsen”-låta var det for lengst klart at albumet skulle hete “En Gang Romsåsgutt Alltid Romsåsgutt”. Jeg ville at Nilsen skulle være en tydelig Oslo Øst låt og være for hele den delen av byen jeg er glad i uten å rope “Romsååås” gjennom hele sangen. Men jeg må selvfølgelig reppe stedet jeg er fra. Derfor er linja skrevet som den er – åpenbar for alle fra Romsås og rundt, kryptisk for alle som ikke kjenner til det.

Hvilken Nilsen er mest Oslo?

At han repper Oslo er ikke den eneste likheten mellom Don Martin og de tre “Nilsen”. Etter rundt 20 år i rap-gamet har han markert seg som en stor dikter (Rudolf Nilsen) og musiker (Lillebjørn Nilsen), og sammen med Gatas Parlament ledet han den norskspråklige rapbølgen som rullet over landet tidlig på 2000-tallet, på samme måte som Jokke & Valentinerne var en stor faktor i rockbølgen på slutten av 1980-tallet.

Dette er også en norsk tvist på Biggies kjente linjer fra “Victory”:

Real sick, raw nights, I perform like Mike
Anyone – Tyson, Jordan, Jackson

I nyere tid har linjene blitt “lånt” av Jay-Z på megahiten “Niggas In Paris”:

Psycho, I’m liable to go Michael, take your pick
Jackson, Tyson, Jordan, Game 6
