Ich is the second solo album by the rapper Sido . It was released on December 1, 2006 on the independent label Aggro Berlin , two and a half years after his debut album Maske . After just two days of sale (on December 4, 2006) it achieved gold status . There were 80,000 pre-orders alone. The album debuted at number 4 on the album charts. After the album could not reach a chart position for a week in April, it rose again on April 16, 2007 at number 80. Three weeks later, the album again missed a position in the charts, but surprisingly entered the album charts again on June 18, 2007 at number 26. On March 24, 2007, I was awarded the gold record.

Versions

In addition to the normal version, there is a Premium Edition that contains a second CD with additional tracks. A ghetto edition has also been available since June 1, 2007 . The difference to the other versions is that the booklet has been left out, so it is available for 9.99 euros.

Songs

Decoupled singles

Strassenjunge
The first single from the album. Alpa Gun contributed to the version of the song on the album . In terms of content, Sido describes that he is not a gangster, but that the term street boy applies to him.

Bad role model
In the song, which is the third single from the album, Sido portrays himself as an unadjusted person, who has achieved something anyway or precisely because of it.

Part of me
The second single from the album “Part of me” is dedicated to Sido's son; he raps in it about his mistakes, which led to his son growing up without a father for the time being. Until the day when Sido can track down his son and get in touch with him again. From then on he wants to make up for all mistakes and never leave his side.

Others

Intro
The "intro" satirically recreates Sido's birth in a ski kit . Shortly after he is born, he hits his obstetrician and urinates on him.

Peilerman & Flow
"Peilerman & Flow" are two characters in a comedy radio play on the Berlin radio station 98.8 Kiss FM . In the album Ich you have four humorous skits that often relate to the previous or the following track.

I hate you
"I hate you" is a diss track, but the attacked person is not mentioned. The skit after this track is about rapper Azad , with whom Sido had already had physical arguments. In a passage of text, Sido says that he hates moments and butterflies. Both are also tracks from the rapper Bushido , who used to be on the same label as Sido, but has left it. Sido also mentions an owl. Eko Fresh got this derogatory nickname from Aggro Berlin circles.

Sarah
In the song "Sarah" a female person of the same name is insulted. Sido himself does not say which Sarah is meant, since he can be sued according to his own statements. It was believed that this person was Sarah Kuttner , who Sido often referred to as a bully on her former show and expressed other negative views about him. The assumption is supported by the fact that Sido referred to "Sarah's sagging tits" in Playboy in the song (Sarah Kuttner was actually shown in Playboy), that Sido sings in the track because Sarah does not like rap (Sarah Kuttner repeatedly expressed her aversion to German rap in their show) and that in the Skit after the song Sarah Kuttner is mentioned by name as "Sarah with the cowl". Sido later admitted that the person addressed was the moderator.

Every day weekend
The track "Every day weekend" is supposed to continue the song Endlich Woche , because of which the previous solo album by Sido Maske was put on the index by the Federal Testing Office for Media Harmful to Young People. As a feature, Bass Sultan Hengzt is on the track. The track is about the fact that he not only celebrates on the weekend, but also during the week. This time, however, he mentions that this should not be copied, so that it cannot be a reason for indexing.
