reception

The e-zine Laut.de rated The Last White King with three out of a possible five points. From the point of view of the editor Dominik Lippe, Sylabil Spill “goes to work with remarkable energy. “Sometimes his“ force field ” reminds me of the band Onyx . The “ dynamic beats, which are enriched with grime elements (“ being alone ”) or electronic sounds from old computer games (“ with me ”), do without any ingratiation to the zeitgeist. “Spill adapt his performance variably to the instrumentals. He can effortlessly vary “ his flow ('being alone', 'not an artist') or playfully sprinkle a couple of double times ('on mode'). “In the case of the piece I can do everything, it delivers a“ true demonstration of power ”and is“ strikingly similar to Busta Rhymes . "However, the texts are particularly" in the double time passages [...] badly incomprehensible. “In terms of content, Spill seldom deviates from“ gross depictions of violence ”. Only the contribution of Hanybal and the final Now you know , on the spill's own " fictional character " aufbreche, bring some content structure.

Skinny reviewed the album for the website Rap.de. The productions sound “ more like Rick Ross than Kool Keith ”, but that doesn't mean that the album “ sounds easy to digest and ingratiate itself with any target group. “ Stein or Graue Tonne are peppered with“ woody drums at 90 BpM and synthetic organs ”, with which they deliver “ the most comfortable moments ”. Spill renounces “ depth of content. "Rather, the rapper squinted in the" direction of the head ticker target group "and emphasized the" street note ". In the lecture Spill changed “ tempo, meter and pitch with an almost indifferent matter of course and thus [keep] every song constantly interesting. " Alone his " brutally fast raped breathless passages "line up with" playful halftimes in which Spill skillfully acts with the drums and his tact ".
