criticism
At rappers.in, pheromones were rated as lyrically weak, but as an arrogant song.
“Fler raps about his success and his decadent lifestyle. In terms of the text, this is unfortunately pretty flat. The Berliner brings more than once lines that make you pull your hair out. And yet it works somehow. The text, which is kept simple, brings Fler's intended arrogance across pretty well and makes it seem somehow sublime. "
