1) German rapper Anis Ferchichi who was born on September 28, 1978 in Bonn. His rap is strongly influenced by French Gangsta Rap. He is also known as Sonny Black.
Early Life:
Bushido has a Tunisian father and a German mother. However, he was raised in Berlin by his mother and never got to know his father.
Musical Career:
In 2000 he began his musical career. He gained recognition through King Orgasmus One and his works on several "I Luv Money Records"-Releases. Soon he released his first tape King Of Kingz. This led to him moving to a new label Aggro Berlin, where he worked with Sido, B-Tight, and Fler. The album was later released on CD in 2003 as King Of Kingz (Digital Remastered) and in 2004 as the King of Kingz 2004 Edition with some remixes. In 2002 he released the legendary milestone underground-album Carlo Cokxxx Nutten under his pseudonym, Sonny Black (arguably in the same manner as Eminem), in which he worked with Fler also known as Frank White.
His first Solo-Album was released in 2003, which is called "Vom Bordstein bis zur Skyline". This album had a lot of good reviews and was titled the first real Gangster Rap album in Germany. It was an enormous success for what was still basically an underground release.
Because of artistic differences regarding his future solo career, he left his label, Aggro Berlin, in the summer of 2004 and was taken under contract by Urban/Universal. In 2004, together with Ilan, he produced a remix of the industrial metal group Rammstein's song Amerika. In October 2004 he released his third album Electro Ghetto which reached number six on the German charts. On April 4, 2005 he released his fourth LP in two and half years, Carlo Cokxxx Nutten II, once again using his alter ego Sonny Black and working with Baba Saad in replacement of Fler.
In the winter of 2004/2005, he played a central role in a dispute with the rapper Eko Fresh and also made the song "FLERräter" against his former colleague at Aggro Berlin Fler (a play on the word Verräter, which means traitor).
Legal trouble found its way into his life following a party in Linz, Austria on July 30th, 2005. Upon discovery that his tyres had been slashed, he and two of his bodyguards were involved in a physical altercation with a 20 year old male, who was left with severe head injuries. Bushido spent 15 days in jail before being released on €100,000 bail. He faces a 3 year sentence if convicted.
On the judgemend day he released his Album "Staatsfeind Nr.1" (Public Enemy Nr. 1).
Most people called his time in jail a big promotion for this Album.
The second sampler ersguterjunge Sampler Vol. 2 - Vendetta was released the 1st of December 2006. It features artists who are signed to his Label ersguterjunge. The only single of the Sampler is called "Vendetta" and features Bushido, Eko Fresh and Chakuza.
In 2007 he won another ECHO-award as best hip hop/rap artist. His albums have earned platinum status in Germany, making him the most successful rapper ever in his homeland.
The album, 7 was released on August 31st, 2007 in Germany. As of August 24th, 7 has already pre-sold 100,000 copies in Germany, making it a gold record.
Bushido released his Biography Bushido on 8 September 2008 and his 8th album Heavy Metal Payback was released on 10 October. The singles are: "Ching Ching" and "Für immer jung" (which features Karel Gott).
Controversy:
Somewhat ironically, Bushido's admirers include both immigrants and extreme right-wing youth, which has drawn caution and criticism in Germany. He is often criticized in the media for his allegedly sexist, nationalist, and racist lyrics and for refusing to reject some of his controversial fans. However, some point to his partial North African ethnicity and collaboration with minority artists, like Azad, Eko Fresh, and Cassandra Steen, as evidence Bushido is not racist.
2) 'Bushido' is the name of a one-shot collaboration between some of the best known singer/songwriters from the current generation of rock singers in Spain. The singers involved in the Bushido project are: Búnbury, Carlos Ann, Shuarma and Mortí. They sat together for a couple of weeks and came out with a collection of pop-rock songs that showcase each of their styles and thematic inclinations.
3)Bushido were an obscure post-punk band from the early 80's similar in style to early Cabaret Voltaire/Eric Random etc.
4) Bushido are a progressive rock, three piece from Melbourne, Australia. They have released 2 EP's entitled 'Last Breath' and 'Mercina'. They play music in a similar vein to other Australian bands such as 'The Butterfly Effect', 'Cog' and 'Karnivool'. They are currently writing songs for their debut album set to be released early 2008.

Bushido Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rapper reden über Kilos, schreiben Dealer in die Bio
Warum macht dann keiner Mios außer mir und Sido?
Ihr Junkies sitzt Papa auf der Tasche Al Bundy
Würd' ich heut noch Lines ziehen, dann höchstens von mei'm Bambi
Drogenopfer rappen über Tony Sosa
Doch du redest hier mit Hannibal wie Jodie Foster
Und lauft in die schwarze Wand nach einer Kokarette
Könnt kein Koks von weißem Heroin unterscheiden
Aber wollt nach einer Mio Klicks 'n Deal unterschreiben
Hängen in Shishabars und ziehen Nasen von ihrem Handy
Tun als wär' ihr Busbahnhof der Hafen von Miami
4k-Slowmotion-Spiegelreflex
Aber keiner von euch kann ein Kilo liefern in echt
Erzähl mir nichts von jüdischen Anwälten oder BtM
Ihr schuldet mir Prozente, ihr seid Möchtegern-CCN
Ihr habt Mios auf der Bank, ihr seid Cocaine Cowboys
Schmuggelt Kilos in das Land, alles Cocaine Cowboys
Ich versteh' nicht, was ihr redet, so als wär' es Mandarin
Ihr seid nur in eurer Fantasie Cocaine Cowboys
Ihr habt Mios auf der Bank, ihr seid Cocaine Cowboys
Schmuggelt Kilos in das Land, alles Cocaine Cowboys
Ich versteh' nicht, was ihr redet, so als wär' es Mandarin

Haben nicht ein verficktes Gramm in ihren Umhängetaschen

Erinnert euch an Sonny in sei'm BMW, ihr Mistkinder
Ihr seid nur kleine Fische wie Sashimi
Und jeder Markus macht mir auf Habibi, Habibi
Fake-Versace-Hemden unterm Kronleuchter
Fliegen mit der Drohne um die Hochhäuser
Sie posten ihre lächerlichen Vorschüsse
Werden von ihrem Drecksteam gefeiert wie ein Torschütze
Spielen sich auf als wären sie Escobar in ihrer Dorfdisse
Hartz-IV-Dealer, dieser Typ stand auf der Forbesliste
Ihr klebt am Arsch von reichen Leuten, so wie Sportsitze
Aber die sind aggressiv und stechen wie 'ne Hornisse
Ich ficke euren Fantasyrap
Es ist Sonny Black Reality check, yeah!

In Bushido's "Cocaine Cowboys," the rapper takes aim at those who glamorize drug dealing without actually living the lifestyle. He criticizes other rappers who rap about kilos and dealers in their bio, yet cannot make millions like he and Sido do. He accuses listeners of sitting on their dad's couch watching TV with their pocket money, while he and Sido have real wealth. The singer denounces the glorification of drug culture and accuses other rappers of being fascinated by the underworld while only scratching the surface. He believes they cannot tell the difference between cocaine and white heroin, but they want to sign a deal after getting a million clicks. Bushido ridicules the false bravado and shallow behavior of people who spend their time in shisha bars and draw lines from their cellphones, pretending they're in Miami's port.
Bushido slams the wannabe drug dealers for pretending to have achieved something in their lives when they don't have so much as a gram of cocaine in their satchels. He mocks their taste in clothing and repeatedly uses metaphors to draw attention to how superficial and ignorant these "Möchtegern-CCN" are. Instead of spending their time making illicit money, they are busy posting their meager advances on Instagram and celebrating victory with their crew. The singer concludes by attacking their "Fantasyrap" and bringing them back to reality. Bushido asserts that he is the only "Cocaine Cowboy" and that they exist only in their imagination.

When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid – repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beaware – Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 – rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist – the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
- will seem to rise from the dead
- will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
"Many events, including ecological upheavals, wars, the schism in My Church on Earth, the dictatorships in each of your nations – bound as one, at its very core – will all take place at the same time."

Quitting while you're ahead isn't the same as quitting. Sal said "I'll quit when I have a billion." When he already had $100 million and no one suspected him of a thing. Like that dealer Jorge said, "it's a war you can never win, the only victory is walking away."

Love these 80s Miami story’s, if there would be a time travel machine i would travel to Miami in the 80s
@MrAngelroc
If you did go back you might get shot and never come back!!!! Especially living that life.
@mnstr2173
angel ortiz i didn’t mean it that way, i like these story’s but i don’t want to be involved in the drug trafficking just the time, music, clothing
@Lhansmeyer33
Miami was a shit hole then..... Other than all the docs the celebrate and glamourize drug traffickers' (not dealers as that life is a lot less pretty) and murders. It is amazing to me that people look at a doc about someone with fancy cars, women and money and assume that means it must have been a great time to be around haha. There's people who are living this lifestyle today (that they will make movies about in 30+ years glamorizing it as the hay days in a beautiful utopian drug trafficking life), if you really want it, go talk to them and start selling their products and hope to work your way up the ladder... without getting killed or busted. Goodluck!
@MIGGYME1
@Lucas John wrong. Miami in the late 80s and early 90s became a renaissance city. It was booming,actors,celebs etc were moving here because real estate was at an all time high and NO STATE TAX. If anything miami is boring now but it was in its prime when these guys were running the streets.
@Lhansmeyer33
@MIGGYME1 so was LA and NY. What's your point? Having a few actors there doesn't make a city great. Especially for your average citizen. Also... I wouldn't call Miami boring nowadays haha. I always have a great time there.
Real estate prices are still high in Miami. And no income tax doesn't make a state or city great. There's so many shithole cities in Florida and in Texas. They still get that tax money from other places too.... it's not always a benefit to have zero income tax. It only benefits the few people who make tons of legal money. The rest end up paying shitloads more in other fees and property taxes. So yes.... these idiots online talking about how great it would be would be the ones footing the bill for the handful of actors who moved there. Haha
