reception

The e-zine Laut.de Rated vision with two of a possible five points. According to editor Dominik Lippe, the “ reduction of political personalities to pure name dropping […] strangely runs through the entire album. "In Stalin, for example, the listener gets the name of the Soviet dictator Josef Stalin " shouted mercilessly and incoherently. “The song Traum is a“ real audacity. “Kurdo fantasizes“ then again about the Maybach and '500s in money sacks' ”and add samples from Martin Luther King's speech I Have a Dream . The rapper's “ simple worldview ” does not protect him “ from getting caught up in contradictions again and again. "His" recurring, humorless emphasis on his own hardness goes completely off every second level in the style of a Bass Sultan Hengzt . “He also relativizes this image on Rendezvouz “ with kitschy lines over the panpipe sound. "With Kollegah , Farid Bang and Genetikk , the guest rappers are" prominently selected. “However,“ the impression is a little clouded when [Kollegah and Bang] place thigh knockers over the stop on Berlin's Breitscheidplatz or Anders Beivik . “Despite all the criticism, there are also“ rays of hope ”. Is already OK , a “ dynamic radio number ”, whose driving beat forces Kurdo “ to move out of his comfort zone. "On Ya Salam had Kurdo" remarkably fun and [let] even shine through a little self-irony. "

Alexander Barbian reviewed Vision for the website Rap.de. Since criminals from the desert , “there seem to have been" not too serious changes or stylistic inconsistencies in terms of sound or content. “The productions of the album“ offer a very solid foundation and vary successfully between melodrama and effortlessness, between goose bumps and ostentatious epic. “According to the“ rap technique criteria ”, Kurdo is not an“ exceptional artist ”. Much more, “ his flow leaves something to be desired in some places and sometimes limps a bit, even on slower beats. “This is particularly evident on the last of his kind and on Stalin . Kurdo's strength lies “ more in drawing very concrete pictures with just a few words and conveying that credibly with his smoky voice. “Compared to the previous albums, the main focus has not changed. These “still revolve almost exclusively around the subject complexes 'stayed the same despite fame', 'formerly a cheeky child, today rich', 'once a criminal, now a legend' and of course 'counting bills, counting bills, counting bills'. "Far too seldom" any kind of room for interpretation remains . “On the other hand, the“ conclusive and in places really profound critical storytelling ”on the shadow of fame and the piece Traum , on which Kurdo describes himself as a“ freedom fighter ”, are positive .

Sven Aumiller from MZEE describes the album in his review as " a" vision "full of contradictions" , far removed from reality. He criticizes the fact that trends are deliberately boycotted here on the one hand, only to pick up on them in another place and also to rap about them. In addition, the rapper wants to be the " modest man from the ghetto" , "who later suddenly cruises in the" Ferrari through Little Italy "" . Overall, according to Aumiller, kurdo does not manage to positively “stand out from the crowd of street rappers” .
