Anonymous user, what exactly bugs you about making a note regarding Edo Maajka's popularity in hr and scg? I can vouch that he is indeed among the top five rappers in Croatia, at least, and his record label is in Zagreb. That's worth a mention. --Joy [shallot] 23:39, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)
ok , I sometimes forget about Croatia. im cool with Croatia being mentioned and Zagreb , but not Serbia , there may be a large folowing to Edo in Serbia , but when he admits that he is "cool" ( and notice I wrote cool, I dont want to start a fight or something with the serbs) then i'll be ok with putting Serbia in with Bosnia and Croatia. you don't belive me , listen to the song " Obecana Rijec" , then you'll know what i'm talking about.If you know croatian or bosnian listen to it . Maybe you are from the Balkans.
- I don't understand your point (I'm not Balkan and don't speak any language from east of France), but Maajka's feelings are not very relevant. It sounds like you're saying we shouldn't say he is popular in Serbia because Maajka is anti-Serbian and wouldn't approve of that. Please peruse the NPOV policy. If that isn't what you're saying, then please clarify. Tuf-Kat 21:56, Mar 23, 2005 (UTC)
- I listened to Obećana riječ many times, and indeed many of his songs make it abundantly clear where he stands with regard to Serb-Bosniak-Croat relations. His repeated remarks about being published by City Records are particularly amusing :)
- However, that doesn't preclude him being popular among people in Serbia and Montenegro. Estavisti wrote Edo's popular there, I don't see much reason not to believe him because he appears to be from there somewhere. Estavisti, can you provide references for this?
- I'm also pretty sure it's wrong to think that Edo isn't cool with the Serbs altogether. Think about the songs like On je mlađi.
- Having said that, I'll go amend the article, but avoid censoring it. --Joy [shallot] 22:38, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Anonymous from 216.126.133.*, what do you think about the text now? --Joy [shallot] 13:16, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Where Edo Maajka stands is with the Bosnians.period.I'm not saying that Serbs don't like him or whatever , I am saying that he is Bosnian and he dislikes Serbs ( not all of them, the ones during the war , the army of Serbia who killed members of his family ...Srebrenica .Tuzla ). The song On Je Mladji does say that a Bosnian girl and Serb boy get together, but that is a fictional story. Obecana Rijec is not fictional and what happened at Srebrenica , thats the difference. I'll let you know if I like the stub now and how you wrote it
- Er, On je mlađi talks of a Croat boy and a Serb girl getting together, the boy defying his father who is a war veteran, trying to run from home, only to see his darling have a bomb thrown at by the father. It is as fictional as Obećana riječ is, which talks of a Srebrenica veteran who is a hired hitman in Germany now, but would never raise his Beretta at someone from Srebrenica. --Joy [shallot]
O and I forgot to say something and it is that I started this stub or text or wahtever you want to call it about Edo Maajka and it took me a while to write that first text but you erased it , did not bother me , even i wanted to shorten it , also Im still working on it .
Ok, I carefully read whaat you wrote and some parts i don't like wharn you say he dislikes what he deems as bad rap , what he says is bad rap , then it is bad rap ( among the Bosnian rap scene , not the American ...)
- Well, when he says something is bad rap then it's he who deems it to be bad. There is no universal definition of bad rap, at least I'm not aware of one :) I guess it could be phrased without the explicit "what he deems to be" because it's his page after all. --Joy [shallot]
Even more what I hate is that you said he often represents the Bosnian point of view , he doesn't "often" represents the Bosnian point of view and the Bosnians but in every song about war , issues and polotics even fun or happy songs and in interviews , he represents the Bosnians and Bosnia.
- The "often" part refers to him having many, but not all, songs about political stuff. --Joy [shallot]
P.S. could you tell me in what song he says that he dislikes pop music ...... thanks
- For example Kliše, where he says something about him not being like Đibo, Oliver or the harmonica players :) --Joy [shallot]
I'm just saying that he doesn't have that of a big of folowing in Serbia than in Bosnia and Croatia.
- I would tend to agree with that. Let's wait for Estavisti to comment a bit more before removing or rephrasing that unverified bit. --Joy [shallot] 12:57, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

- I checked on "On Je Mladji" and your right that it is a Croat boy and Serb girl , again this helps me prove my piont that Edo is for Bosnians and always was and will be , i'm not saying he's againsts Croats and Serbs to the point that he would kill them or something.
- Straighten me out , are you saying that the Srebrenica massacre never happened. Maybe Edo knows someone who is a Srebrenica veteran and hitman , I would dissagree with that but I'm going to look more into this.
- Nah, I'm just saying that the song is fictional, it doesn't have to be based on an actual story. Srebrenica massacre itself is a true story, but the guy from the song doesn't really have to exist :) --Joy [shallot] 18:57, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- O , I like how you wrote the text now it is ok.

P.S do you have a nick on AOL aim or any other chat programm so we don't have to communicate like this.
- It's customary to talk here about the articles, that way others can see it too. --Joy [shallot] 18:57, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)
hej , could you tell me where you are from.
Well I can say Edo is quite popular in Serbia. Most of the people I know have at least heard of him and most of them like his music. As for him hating Serbs, he came to Belgrade to record with Marchelo for "De Facto", on the songs "Krem de la Krem"(along with another Muslim rapper, Frenkie) and Suze, which is specifically about the war. Marčelo raps something along the lines of "doš'o sam u Tuzlu i primili su me kao brata, svima je dosta rata" etc. Plus I hear that on Frenkie's upcoming debut album, the three of them will collaborate on "Krem de la krem 2". Travelling quite often to Croatia, I'd say he is probably slightly more well known there but this hardly some competition. Irrespective of the rest of exYU, he does have a large following in SCG.--estavisti 15:27, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
According to [1] Slušaj mater was published in 2001 so stop changing it just because *you* bought it in 2002. ;) :) --estavisti 17:06, 30 November 2005 (UTC)
Tuf Kat dont gve your opinion if you are not from the Balkans and do not understand the situation properly. You may piss some people off
Quote Tuf Kat dont gve your opinion if you are not from the Balkans and do not understand the situation properly. You may piss some people off Quote he pissed me off, but whatever
Do you have the album, no yes, well on the album it says it came out in 2002 and I know that on edomaajka.com it says that it came out in 2001, but I have the album and on their it says 2002, so i'm right.
PS im the one that updated the infomation under the subtitle Edo Maajka I just forgot to write that I did that on the discussion board
Every two years a albums comes out, 2002, 2004 and 2006
I have updated the article on Edo Maajka life.
I just ran into the page and decided to do a little proofreading, but any comments are of course welcome. I tried not to change too much factual information, mostly I cleared up the phrasing and rearranged the text to improve the flow. - 9 September 2006
Album Sales
does anyone kniow how many albums Edo Maajka sold together and seperately for each album
Whats Wrong
whats wrong with the article for it to be cleaned up:
No links to sources, no citations. On first glance the facts seem to be correct, but there should be at least some sources.
its just accepted by the balkan public that he is the best rapper out there and that he brought rap to a new height and popyularity

Duplicate album articles
There are two albums with nearly the same spelling. Which is correct? "Balknasko a Naše" or "Balkansko a Naše"? -Freekee (talk) 06:41, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
- "Balkansko a Naše" is correct and the article "Sjeti Se" has to be deleted —Preceding unsigned comment added by Djamo (talk • contribs) 14:37, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
Place of Birth
Someone put "Bosnia and Herzegovina" and put the current flag, i've changed it back to SFR Yugoslavia, SR Bosnia. Anyone got a problem? Come talk to me. Otherwise, leave it as is! Zlatko (talk) 01:59, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
