reception
The website rap.de praises Ali Bumaye for the humor on his debut album, but has doubts that the support of the co-authors did not go beyond producing beats and criticizes the Berliner's rap style as "monotonous and tiresome" :
“ Fat entertainment” feels something like this: You take a leisurely stroll with Ali through your neighborhood (“Alles gut in der Hood”). The Berliner tells what is going on through his head or on his sack. [...] Beatzarre, Djorkaeff, Shindy and Sonus did a great job and gave the album a fresh sound somewhere between current sounds and good old G-Funk. In terms of beats, “Fette Entertainment” easily takes on any other rap album. This doesn't necessarily apply to the rapper. Ali can score a lot of sympathy points because his texts are always authentic and entertaining. Technically, the whole thing is also quite solid, how much of it is due to Ali's own skills and how much to those of his co-authors, the Internet is welcome to speculate about it - in the end it only matters whether the result is correct, and that is definitely it. His presentation style is a bit monotonous and tiring in the long run, as far as the flow is concerned, it lacks a lot in some places. "
The side Rappers.in was much more critical, according to which the beat productions can only save the album from "total failure".
“ After deducting the skits, Fette Entertainment has a meager 34 minutes of playing time, which is actually not a tragedy, since the possibilities for content are already exhausted after half the duration. Fat entertainment ekes out a existence in the shadow of "full sweet but", whose entertainment value can never be surpassed. The often absolute insignificance of the lyrics and their rapidly decreasing entertainment value make it an album that is saved from total failure only by a few instrumentals. Not even top-class feature guests can change that. In the future, Ali Bumaye should work on his technical skills and his writing skills and use sample beats more consistently when selecting beats, as these have already proven themselves [...]. "
