Young, brutal, good-looking 3 , also known as JBG3 , is the third collaboration album by German rappers Kollegah and Farid Bang . It was released on December 1, 2017 via the labels Banger Musik and Alpha Music Empire . The album reached gold status eight days before its release in Germany by pre-ordering . The album met with strong criticism in some cases , with the artists being accused of misogynistic and anti-Semitic lyrics. After Kollegah and Farid Bang received an echo for their work in April 2018 due to good sales figures , the organizer of the award ceremony, the Deutsche Phono-Akademie , was heavily criticized, which ultimately led to the abolition of the award .

background

Kollegah and Farid Bang have already released the albums Jung, brutal, gutaussehend (2009) and Jung, brutal, gutaussehend 2 (2013), the latter of which was particularly popular. Both albums were released on the independent label Selfmade Records and indexed by the federal inspection agency for media harmful to minors .

In March 2016, Farid Bang announced a third part of the JBG series for the first time on the single 100 Bars . Another unofficial announcement was made on Facebook in August 2016 . At the beginning of September 2017, both announced that Jung, Brutal, Gutschend 3 would be released in December 2017; At the end of September the first single of the album was released with Sturmmaske on (Intro) .

"JBG-2 was really such a funny number [...] and JBG-3 is very, very similar to JBG-1 from the album."

- Farid Bang in the Hip-Hop.de Interview, December 2017

The recordings for the album were completed in October 2017. The title list was published on November 20, 2017; the album was finally released on December 1, 2017.

Echo award 2018

Due to the commercial success was young, brutal, handsome 3 at the Echo Awards 2018 nominated twice, but the echo Advisory Council described the album due to the disrespectful and violence-glorifying texts, especially the bonus song 0815 , as "absolute borderline case". In the end, Kollegah and Farid Bang won the national hip-hop / urban category . The subsequent controversy about the award, despite the song text criticized as anti-Semitic , led to the abolition of the Echo in April 2018.

indexing

In September 2018, nine months after its release, the album was indexed by the federal inspection agency for media harmful to minors. For the indexing, the songs Gamechanger and When the enemy is on the ground contained on the album as well as the pieces Ghettosuperstars 2 and 0815 contained on the bonus EP "§ 185" were decisive. In its justification, the committee named a "[...] brutal and discriminatory effect on women." As a result of the indexing, the album may no longer be sold to people under the age of 18. The two previous albums had also been indexed.

In response to the indexing, Kollegah and Farid Bang released a new version of the album entitled Jung, Brutal, Gutaussehend XXX in late September 2018 . All tracks responsible for indexing were removed from the album. This means that this new version of the album is freely available again.
