reception
The editors of the e-zine laut.de rated the album with 3 out of 5 possible points. It is criticized that the content of Born 2 B-Tight hardly stands out from the albums of other rappers, because "it feels like at least every second German rap release follows exactly this canon of topics" . The production of the tracks Wenn ich great and Neue Welt are also criticized and referred to as “synths that have been heard a thousand times” or “plastic beat” . Author Dani Fromm also complains about the song Weg des Kriegers , "because the track's content, of course, is really nonsense" . Feature guest Blokkmonsta is described as a "caricature of himself as a bugbear" . The author finds words of praise for the title Achtung! and feature partners Harris and Italo Reno as well as for the production of Ready 4 Action .
In his review, Sven Aumiller from MZEE.com came to the conclusion that B-Tight musically falls back on "the well-known recipe from resounding drums and old-school synths" , to which he then adds the "always necessary chart hit" . A combination that " maybe four or five tracks" does not go well on album length. For the listeners, who still like it, the Aumiller draws the conclusion that they "continue to be delighted with B-Tights' new album." will have. For the rest, it is important to realize "that completely different people have now smoked away the weed."
