content

In terms of content, Berlin's Most Wanted is largely limited to self-presentation typical of the genre. When published, however, the Bushido line "As if by magic, the text writes itself by itself. Kay, how should I pay, check or bills?" for attention. Bushido's career had so far been accompanied by recurring speculation that he was ghostwriter , allegedly u. a. Kay One, would have served. In an interview with Falk Schacht for the online format Mixery Raw Deluxe, Bushido stated that he deliberately played with these rumors with the line. At the same time, he, Kay One and Fler emphasized that their texts were regularly created in a joint work process.

Music videos

Music videos for both Berlin's Most Wanted and Weg einer Kriegers were shot under the direction of French director Chris Macari . The video recordings for Berlin's Most Wanted took place in Paris , Weg einer Kriegers was filmed in Berlin . According to the artist, the collaboration with Macari came about spontaneously. After several potential directors for Berlin's Most Wanted had dropped out at short notice , Bushido had originally planned to contact the director Specter , who was regularly responsible for directing her former label Aggro Berlin , with whom Bushido had not worked since his break with the label in 2004 had to have it produced. Although both Bushido and Fler stated in an interview with Falk Schacht that they saw the concept of the album as well as the later videos basically inspired by their previous collaboration with Specter, contact failed. One day before shooting began, Erfan Bolourchi finally placed Macari as a director at short notice. Paris was primarily chosen as the location for Berlin's Most Wanted in order to avoid further deadlines. Berlin's Most Wanted was one of a total of six music videos by various artists that Chris Macari had shot within five days. Berlin's Most Wanted also briefly considered having the French footballer Franck Ribéry appear in their video. Due to the short-term planning, however, this idea could not be implemented due to an overlapping schedule with an upcoming UEFA Champions League game for FC Bayern Munich .

A continuation of the collaboration for the shoot for Weg einer Kriegers in Berlin only came about during the course of the shoot for Berlin's Most Wanted . Boxing athlete Susianna Kentikian has a guest appearance in this video . In 2012, Fler was supposed to work two more times with director Macari on the occasion of the music videos for his singles number one and Behind Blue Eyes . Bushido collaborated with Specter, who was originally intended to direct both Berlin's Most Wanted videos, a year earlier on the occasion of the video So I do it , published jointly with Sido , which was awarded in the "Best Video" category at the 2012 Echo Awards .

To date, the music video for Berlin's Most Wanted has received over 7 million views on YouTube. The music video for Way of a Warrior has been viewed over 6 million times on the same platform.
