criticism

The e-zine Laut.de rated Brave New World with two out of a possible five points. From the editor's point of view, Stefan Johannesberg, the songs with “ string piano loops and cuts in the refrain ” “are always conceived in the same way. "Stylistically, DJ Premier will be copied, with the" bass and snare drums " taking on" even more brazen forms ". With twenty-four seven and Heaven Is A Blunt at least two pieces with the " necessary kick of independence " are included. The editor also rates the " many rap clichés " and the striking texts negatively . In addition, Phillie MC's " throaty flow " seems exhausting. Only in the song 1. Blick does the rapper try “ not to sound like a tortured mixture of Xzibit , DMX and Ferris MC . “The selection of Unkraut as the first single also met with criticism. So this is not representative of the album. In addition, the topic is too specific to get to know the rapper and his skills.

In a review on the website Allesreal.de, the “ cuts by DJ Cesar ” and the “ harmonic and musical piano, string or keyboard samples, which, however, still lack that certain something ” are praised. Phillie MC preach “ nonconformism ” and demand “ to take a closer look behind the scenes of the German state. "In doing so, he does not" succeed in creating the same depressing atmosphere and dismay as the American writer Aldous Huxley in his work of the same name . “This has something to do with the short duration of the songs. In Non serviam , for example , in which the “ dark machinations of the pharmaceutical companies and the armaments industry ” are discussed, he “ only scratches the surface. “In contrast, the“ very realistic ” TV fantasy and the“ melancholy-aggressive ” Weltschmerz were successful.
