reception
criticism
The e-zine Laut.de rated Deluxe in 1992 with four out of a possible five points. From the editor's point of view, Yannik Gölz, the album offers “ more than enough food to arouse the interest of anyone who is enthusiastic about open-hearted rap music, progressive thinking or just cool music. "Nokia's chanting skips" annoying subgenre or generation classifications and gets to the crux of the matter without delay: New York, 1992 to 2017. "Her" Stories of growing up as a sore skater girl ('Bart Simpson'), fascinated by comics and Goth culture ('Goth ') and the development of a self-confident woman should pick up completely new target groups for authentic, intimate storytelling. “While the productions“ jump from sound to sound, from color palette to color palette ”, Princess Nokia makes magic out of“ actually only average manual means. "
In her review for the Musikexpress, Yvonne Franke awarded five and a half of a possible six points to 1992 Deluxe . Princess Nokia delivers “ danceable sound with brutal hardness ”, but manages “ to remain playful. “The musician is“ all East Coast, but unique in it ”and“ with all her strength against sexism and racism ”. In terms of content, her songs tell“ of gender roles, American pop culture and spirituality. “Musically, Nokia is obviously inspired by the“ nineties of the last century. "
Leaderboard
Princess Nokia appeared several times in Laut.de's 2017 annual best lists. In 1992 Deluxe was ranked 18 of the “Hip Hop Albums of the Year”. The album “ not only performs a cross-generational tightrope act, but also collects all the resounding hits of perhaps the most promising newcomer in recent years. ““ Sing along boards ”like Tomboy do not break the“ musical concept ”in addition to“ gently and melancholically told storytellers ” , but“ enrich the debut of the already multi-faceted rapper into a wonderful, colorful chaos, in which it continues even after countless listening sessions to discover musical ideas or textual nuances. “In the general list of the“ 50 albums of the year ”Laut.de placed the US-American in 40th place. Nokia's“ formal debut ”was“ a product of its time through and through, with all the confusion and hectic, but with a claim to timelessness . “The rapper was also included in the list of“ Newcomer of the Year ”.
