criticism
"[…] And otherwise? Bushido tries primarily not only to justify his lifestyle, but also to proclaim it as the norm. Knast-Abfeierei ("23 hours cell"), rumbling street postures ("Airmax on concrete") with Fler, now and then a few shots in the background, but of course also feelings ("Selina", "Stand up" with glass house) . In addition, there are thick and by the way perfectly precise musical arrangements that are more than just beats that underlay the raps with a carpet somewhere between rock and pathetic electro soundtrack. The language of expression is a little less explicit than before, but that doesn't give the record much because the strong expressions of yore have just been replaced by general underdogs. Because where the second great German rapper Sido is now an extremely smart guy who can not only work with KIZ , children's choir and Kurt Krömer , but also with rock veteran Stephan Remmler and ironically breaks his own past in the Märkisches Viertel, Bushido remains humorless and therefore waist deep in redundancy. Rating: disappointing "
“[…] All in all, 'Zeiten Wechsel Dich' is, in contrast to its predecessor, a well chosen title for the ninth album, which in the end struggles with very similar weaknesses as the feature film of the same name. Bushido himself has finally arrived in Dieter Bohlen's Germany. Depending on your mindset, you may or may not congratulate him on it - but this has nothing to contribute to the German rap landscape per se. But that's not what it wants - to the extent that everything will be fine. "
“It seems to the listener as if Germany's most famous gangster rapper simply can't come up with anything new. X times the same topics and phrases, as well as the change from the bullying rapper to the best friend who tries to cheer me up with his songs - this is no longer the Bushido I want to hear. And should he have managed to get me to his side a little lately, he has now lost it again. What remains in the end is a top-produced, lyrically solid album, but content-wise, yawning boring. If "times change you" were really representative of Bushido's entire career, I would not be able to understand his steep rise on the career ladder. "
Self-assessment of the artist
In an interview in 2014, Bushido times change you, along with Beyond Good and Evil , rated the weakest of his albums published to date. He stated that he had actually "imagined the album to be completely different" and, in contrast to earlier Bushido albums, a lot of third parties had influenced the music of the album, especially because of the joint release of the album with the movie of the same name.
