About rapper Sjors

“Look, please write an ode to rapper Sjors” I receive in one of my group chats. Pudding bun. Right now. In my head. “Eh, rapper who?” I respond. I can feel that I am the only one who has no idea who Rapper Sjors is.

I don't know why, but given the name and the crying smiley faces, I have a suspicion that rapper Sjors is not a Boef or Lil’ Kleine is. Sjors sounds friendlier. More Dutch. Perhaps also a bit clumsier. Would Sjors tear up 500 euro notes and party in Ibiza or is Sjors more of the caliber ‘Oeter oeter oeter oeter oetuuuuuur? With Romana on the scooooter’? Do we still know Rinus? Please tell me you know Rinus, otherwise I feel like the fool here again.

Anyway, back to Sjors. I don't have to google for long, because the Maastricht guy with the downright eccentric speaking timing seems to have spread like an oil slick across the internet. Music videos, interviews, vlogs, an extensive report in the Volkskrant, something with ambitions in the porn industry and then all the way back to where it all started: Man Bijt Hond. What do you see? Sjors Peter wants to become famous, a real rapper, just like Eminem. MBH gives him the stage and so Sjors goes to an open spot in the woods to film and do his rap. He first rolls up his pant legs. Then he nervously clears his throat. “I just ate peanut butter, so…” The statement becomes famous. Sjors goes viral and has since been on countless television programs and I have never seen it. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?

So today for everyone who, like me, has lived in an egg: the funniest videos of Sjors in a row. Of course starting with where it all began:

 
Then on to his most popular track. Oh and, for collaborations you can email sjorsbekendvantv@gmail.com. You know it, Sjors, I wish you that fame.

 
Shall we end with the vacation vlog in Croatia? Super fun.

Sjors, my crazy word artist, I’m glad you’ve been in my life since today. There. And now I’m going to make a peanut butter sandwich YEAH.
