It has long been waiting for this album and especially they were waiting for the answer to the question: "Wirds again raplastiges album or as Dis Where I Herkomm"?
I think it is somewhere both, or a mix.
Very personal lyrics, sung mostly hooks and rap at its best! So I want Samy hear! The whole album seems well thought out and looks consistent. Is to say: It pulls a thread through the entire plate, both beats, as well as lyrics are concerned.
Who in black and white expected to pure Rap Battle and tracks will be disappointed, because these are quite rare and are limited basically to 3 tracks. Who wants to have the Battle samy should wait for the soon to be released EP Juice and generally pursue Samy, as he has announced that all of its releast recorded about 130 songs in any way.
So, now to my track by track review:
Black and white beginning:
An instrumental, which in itself is nothing special, but tidy makes you want to come, and on just fits:
4/5
Intro:
A very awesome intro in my opinion and I celebrate this beat them just as much! kept relatively short, and now not a particularly good rhyme chains, but this beat makes it up for it and this intro simply does the job.
5/5
Poetry Album:
The second single. Both lyrically, as well as flow technically at the highest level. A song that you have to listen more, to understand all the puns and metaphors altogether, if only as many poets and thinkers he lyrically brings (Schiller, Goethe, Erich Kastner, August von Fallersleben, etc, etc.) Certainly one of the strongest tracks on the album and one of the best rap songs for a very very long time. This is art!
5/5
Ego:
Beat of Dynamite and a flawless Rap Samy. Interesting and personal subject, with me that certain something is missing.
4/5
Someday:
For many certainly the song that will be skipped immediately because it is a completely eingesungener track. For me a beautiful song that I could listen all day in passing and here again a very nice theme.
5/5
Wer wird Millionär?
Very horny beat with socially critical lyrics. Another highlight of the plate! 5/5
Streets music
For me personally, the best track on the album. Has potential to be a classic, and the subject matter is very unusual, a "what if- Track", where Samy imagines what it would be to no longer be a big rap star, but a homeless man who has lost everything.
5/5 !!
Back to We
The only feature on the album. Max Herre does its job well, the text is very interesting and also social criticism, however, does not want this song really ignite with me.
3/5
No True story:
No typical rap song, Samy tried here on storytelling. certainly worth hearing and also very high quality lyrics, however, often is skipped.
3/5
RapGenie
Probably the only Battle Track on black and white. Beat is beginning to get used to and the hook is not really imaginative. Should definitely be heard on a good investment, because Bass bummst already some way;)
4/5
Alone
A very nice beat and a good flow back Ender Samy. Many will probably complain that Samy raps on average there, there is not a particularly good rhyme chains etc are present, I personally can me but incredibly well identify with the text and therefore it is one of my personal highlights.
5/5
Double VIP
A very intimate Track Mr concern. Quite good, but for me a rather average song
3/5
Heavenly Father
Even more goose bumps and I grow feathers. Waaahnsinn. This song really touched me and for me one of the strongest songs of Samy in terms deepe tracks. Masterpiece!
5/5
Hands Up
the first Singleauskoppung. Must be not much to be said. Solid Hip Hop track with a minimalist beat, the orderly has oomph!
4/5
Black-And-White
The title track of the album, which explains the title of the album. No highlight, but a good song!
4/5
Blank Slate
Too Bad. Unfortunately Interesting and good lyrics, but the beat goes not. Seems somehow produced cheaply and simply disappointed because I'm actually used very good Outros the Lord Deluxe. For me, unfortunately, a failure in the end.
2/5
The bonus songs I can not yet assess, since I'm not yet in possession of the Limited Edition, but I was able to experience Klicka Klacka and Hahahaha already live and can tell by the fact that since at least still 2 very good tracks will be added.
Overall I give the board very good 4 of 5 points. Had me personally desired shot more battlerap, or simply a track where purely the art of rhyming is celebrated because Samy is in no doubt the best. Still a good album, which is definitely one of the best releases this year and will include.
