He said that the book was an “Entwicklungsroman of our time,” which is “exciting and well told”. With Xatar’s autobiography, the wish that “as street intellectuals, rappers would tell about life in a larger country and a smaller world” has come true. Even if “some of it is due to exaggeration”, the story of the rapper is “still crazy enough.” Dani Fromm from laut.de had a less positive opinion of the non-fiction book. Xatar presents himself “as the lonely exception, the only real criminal among would-be bandits and scoundrels”. Nevertheless, “from the first page there is an oversized question in the room” as to which part is true. Thus the “multiple sweeping talk of the ‘truth, as it could have been'” continued to saw “at the credibility.”

Xatar’s debut album earned him the accusation of endangering young people. Since 26 February 2010, Alles oder Nix has been on List A of the indexed media. With Platz ins Geschäft, Eine Geschichte 1, Skit, Guck wie dein Herz klopft, Lauf weg, §31 and B.O.X. seven songs were classified as “youth endangering” by the Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young Persons. The songs have a “brutal” effect and incite “violence”. From the point of view of the Review Board, Xatar presents the “exercise of violence as worthy of imitation” and a “violent assertion of one’s own interests as an alternativeless concept of action”. Due to the I-perspective used, it acquires a “model character for young recipients”. The “rather descriptive, partly socially critical texts of the other songs are not able to create an overall context that would be suitable to absorb the statements relevant to indexing and give them a different meaning.”
One month after his release he released Schwesta Ewa’s debut album Kurwa via his label. At the same time he started the production of his third album, for which he was again able to attract a number of well-known guests such as SSIO, Haftbefehl, Schwesta Ewa, Olexesh, Kalim, Samy and Teesy.

You may help us to build the dating records for Xatar!For the tenth anniversary of Alles oder Nix Records Michael Rubach from Hiphop.de looked back on the development of Xatar and his label. The artists on the platform were initially inspired by the G-funk and Boo-Bap-Rap of the 90s. With their “no-frills street rap”, they have set themselves apart from the “trends or stylistic twists of the time,” which “had their roots above all in Berlin’s underground and the boys from Düsseldorf with their powerful word play”. In addition, Xatar used terms such as “Baba” “long before Haftbefehl and other Frankfurters of the generation after Azad had made the mixed-cultural slang mainstream-friendly”. Dennis Sand on the other hand, assessed the beginnings more critically in a portrait of Xatar in 2015. Thus the Bonn artist “at that time still quite awkwardly verbalized his half imagined, half real street life on a soundtrack.
