content
In Kleine Bushidos , Bushido's view of the current German rap scene and his influence on it is treated. He makes a strong focus on himself among artists and fans and at the same time sees himself as a pioneer of the scene. He establishes this position on the basis of musical content, biographical careers and visual appearance, in particular with regard to hairstyle, wearing accessories and clothing such as gold chains or bomber jackets from the brands Alpha Industries and Cordon Sport. Bushido cultivated the latter together with his then partner Fler at the latest with the title Cordon Sport Massenmord im Rap , which appeared on the album Carlo Cokxxx Nutten in 2003 . In addition, Bushido sees his close relationship with the Abou-Chaker clan , especially its member Arafat Abou-Chaker, imitated by similar extended family connections with other rappers.
production
As with most of the songs on the album AMYF , the title was produced by Bushido himself, the producer Beatzarre and Djorkaeff .
Music video
On October 4, 2012, a music video for Kleine Bushidos was published via Bushido's channel on the Internet platform YouTube , which, like a video released a few weeks earlier, for the intro of the album AMYF , was produced by Loptafilm under the direction of Adolfo Kolmerer .
The video begins with a short chronicle, which presents still images from previous music videos with the participation of Bushido. Included are u. a. Scenes from the video for amyf intro, Bushido's Singles Electro Ghetto , back from the skyline to the curb , tanning Flavor , Hand me not thy hand forget me and a chance / to Gangsta , who ersguterjunge -Labeltracks Nemesis and Vendetta , which is by cooperation with Sido than 23 out accommodated So I do it , the Eko Fresh -single These two , the Fler -Single all this is Germany , the Kay-One title style & the money and the ingested with the latter two rappers Berlins Most Wanted . The pictures are crossed several times by the lettering of the album AMYF .
In the actual video you can see the rapper Bushido as a cartoon and a real character. Two changing scenarios are shown. One shows Bushido on the roof of a skyscraper, which in view of various significant buildings that can be seen in the background, such as the Reichstag building , the Berlin Cathedral or the Berlin TV tower , is supposed to be located in Bushido's hometown Berlin . A skyscraper can be seen more clearly in the background, which is provided with the illuminated lettering Electro Ghetto , the title of Bushido's second solo album. This is contrasted with how Bushido enters a building with a katana and kills several armed people in order to finally get to the leather jacket he is already wearing in the high-rise scenario.
The video has been viewed over 5.7 million times on YouTube (as of May 2015).
In spring 2013, the music video prevailed in a preselection of a total of 25 music videos and was one of the 5 nominees for the Echo 2013 in the category Best Video (national) . The prize was finally won by Lena Meyer-Landrut's music video for Stardust .

Chart success
The single reached number 45 in the German single charts in the first week. The single was able to secure position 46 in Austria and in Switzerland it reached position 52. In all three countries the song could only last for one week. Since the release of Bushido's first album Vom Bordstein bis zur Skyline on the independent label Aggro Berlin in 2003, whose singles Bei Nacht und Gemein like 10 both did not reach the charts, the first single release of a Bushido album has always been in at least one German language Country can stay in the charts for several weeks. Little Bushidos was thus the first single to be extracted from a Bushido album in 9 years, which could not be in the single charts in any country for more than a week.
