Von der Skyline zum Bordstein zurück ("From the Skyline Back to the Curb") is the fourth solo album by German rapper Bushido. The title alludes to his first solo album, Vom Bordstein bis zur Skyline (2003). It was released as both a standard and "platinum" edition.
In an interview, Bushido said that it would be his last album, however, he went on to release a new one in 2007. The album received platinum status in Germany for more than 200,000 sold units and gold in Austria for more than 10,000 sold units.
French band Dark Sanctuary also sued the rapper for sampling eight of their tracks without consent.[4] On 23 March 2010, he was convicted by German courts to a condemnation and was obliged to stop the sales of the concerned albums, singles and samplers, including Von der Skyline zum Bordstein zurück. In addition to that, he was bound to recall and destroy all unsold copies.[5]
Track listing
Tracks 1–7 and 9–23 are produced by Bushido. Tracks 8 and 9 are produced by Kingsize.[6]
The platinum edition contains two discs: The first features the actual track listing (without the limited edition) and the second disc features songs from the album Vom Bordstein bis zur Skyline (2003), censored and some songs missing as the original album was banned in Germany. Additionally, it features three remixes and the song "Es ist OK", from Nyze's album Geben & Nehmen (2007).[8]
