Vom Bordstein bis zur Skyline (German: "From The Curb To The Skyline") is the first solo album by Bushido, released in July 14, 2003 under the label Aggro Berlin and was later indexed. The album reached #88 in the German Media Control Charts. It was entirely produced by Bushido and DJ Ilan.

Indexing

The youth welfare office from Trier-Saarburg proposed to indexing the album. In addition Bushido and Aggro Berlin argued with art freedom. The songs "Eine Kugel reicht", "Tempelhof Rock", "Dreckstück" and "Pussy" had been indexed, because of their controversival lyrical context; discrimination against homosexual persons, handicapped persons and women.[4]

The song lyrics are mostly about violence, crime, sexism and discrimination. On 30 September 2005 the album was indexed by the German BPjM (Federal Department for Media Harmful to Young Persons). Since then it is not allowed to sell the album to people below the age of 18.

Legacy

The album applied besides Carlo, Cokxxx, Nutten as one of the influential German speaking gangsta rap album.[5] It achieved the breakthrough to the German gangsta rap and also for Aggro Berlin. Bushido's album was the first one of the label, that entered the German Charts, reaching place 88.

This album was also Bushido's last releases over Aggro Berlin. He only worked for the last time with the label on Aggro Ansage Nr. 3. Later it cames to disputes with the three bosses Spaiche, Halil and Spaiche. In 2004 he left the label and started his own career by forming label ersguterjunge. Afterwards there follows several successful records including Electro Ghetto (2004) and Staatsfeind Nr. 1 (2005).

For many fans applied Vom Bordstein bis zur Skyline as Bushido's best record album and is constituted as "milestone" in German hip hop history.[6]
