Jung, brutal, gutaussehend (German for Young, brutal, good-looking) is a German rap album by Kollegah and Farid Bang. It was released on June 19, 2009 on Selfmade Records. The album reached position #30 in the German charts.
Düsseldorf-based rapper Farid Bang explained after the release of his debut album Asphalt Massaka, in 2008, that he won't record an album in 2009. As well Kollegah confirmed not to record for his own.
Later, many rumors were on the internet saying that both rappers had teamed up to record an album together. Following these rumors, Farid Bang appealed to Kollegah the idea of recording an album. Then both rappers began working on their album, in spite of their statements not to record in 2009.
Farid Bang was also featured on the Selfmade Records album Chronik 2 on the track "Westdeutschlands Kings" with Kollegah and Favorite
The finishing process of the album took three months.
Singer Billy13 was the only guest appearance on the album, that had been involved in the production. She got involved because of her good relationship to Farid Bang. She sings the hookline of "Butterfly". Billy13 is also known for her past collaboration with German rapper Bushido.
Jung, brutal, gutaussehend released as Standard and as "Steelbox Edition". The latter was limited to 1500 copies, and can only be purchased through the mail-Amazon. The box features the album, a T-shirt signed by Kollegah and Farid Bang, a poster and a bonus CD with a new song, titled "Miami Vice".
In a review by Max Brandl for the E-Zine Laut.de was Jung, brutal, gutaussehend two out of five possible evaluation points and was considered so much worse than Kollegah's previous solo albums Alphagene and Kollegah. Compared to these are his contributions to the album "nearly disastrous". The instrumentals were all being judged negatively, except for the beats to Schwarzgeld, Mitternacht and Der Härteste im Land. Overall, the cooperation of Farid Bang and Kollegah did not work quite well: "Not that both would steal the show from each other – unfortunately no. Both forfeit their particular strengths." Furthermore, Brandl criticized Kollegah's arrogant talk would abate bored fatigue. As a result of dissing many German rappers such as Samy Deluxe, Farid Bang would irritate and seem embarrassing. Despite all the negative criticism, Kollegah would show in songs like Banger und Boss or Die Härtesten im Land that he remains one of the best rappers in Germany and that publishing a solo album in 2010 would more reasonable for both Farid Bang and Kollegah.
