").
Style and allusions
Fler raps very slowly in the stanzas. He also uses a special, previously unknown flow. In this case, the last one or two words of the respective sentence are emphasized like a question ("The car that I drive, spaceship Enterprise "). In addition, Fler very often uses the so-called hashtag flow, in which the rhyme could be tagged with a hashtag on platforms on the Internet (“This is my lifestyle #Masculine”).

The line "the bull is exaggerating - don't do it on Cobra 11" is an allusion to the action series Alarm for Cobra 11. Fler also mentions the American actor Mr. T ("I look like Mr. T") . The line “I shit on integrating, put your Bambi in your ass” alludes to the Bambi awards for Bushido . In addition, the cartoon character Batman is mentioned ("Batman is nothing against me, call me bane").
criticism
The song Chrome was positively highlighted at rappers.in :
“Chrome” comes with a 1A produced trap instrumental that gives a great feeling. In addition, a flicker that flows the same in all parts, but different than on the rest of the album and that's something. Joking aside, the slow flow of the masculine boss, which sounds a bit strange when you first listen to it, goes surprisingly well with the beat and the extremely simple hook also fits in perfectly. "Chrome" is lyrically below average, but it has the perfect sound of a modern rap track. "
production
The song was recorded in the Berlin Hide Out Studios by the producer team Hijackers . The mastering was done by Brian Gardner.
