Besides a lot of Battle Rap, at the Bushido would accrue to the top form, he shows his soulful side and " partially surprisingly open its distance from the ghetto life he celebrates, however, there is enough tracks on."

Max Brandl judges on laut.de that Bushido " for quite some time no longer the old, even specified benchmark [ ... ] achieved," but " never [ ... ] so far [ ... ] by rushing among them" was. Given the fact that the last split back lawn longer, stay the " presumption that the good old beef must simply serve from lack of good ideas."
