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 ↴
In Berlin wo nur jeder zweite Deutsch lernt
Damals wollt ich nicht im Kindergarten spielen
Auch in der Schule musste ich immer n harten schieben, yeah!
Ich wurde älter, kein Bock auf Schule
Denn ich war damals schon in meinem Block der coole
Mic raus ich spulte
Doch ich hatte kein Erfolg
Ich hatte kein Geld und mich wollte niemand sehen
Also musste ich auf die Straße, denn ich musste dealen gehen
Ich schwöre damals hab ich das Kokain verteilt
Wenig später war ich dann bei Aggro Berlin gesignt
Es ist Gangster Rap, ich löste einen Hype aus
Vom Bordstein oder Skyline, Junge denn ich scheiß drauf
Ich hab mich so sehr auf das Label verlassen
Und dann doch gemerkt ich muss jetzt das Label verlassen, yeah!
Es ist Charlottenburg, Wedding, Muhabid, Friedrichsheim
Das ganze Land weiß, jetzt ist die Bushidotime
Electro Ghetto abgehoben wie ein UFO
Der King of Kings Staatsfreind numero uno
Um mich ist eine Welle ausgebrochen
Fass mein Auto an, dann hol ich meine Schelle aus den Socken, yeah!

Denn wer bringt ein neues Album? Euer Dealer vom Block
The lyrics of Bushido's song "Dealer vom Block" tell the story of his past as a drug dealer before he became a successful Gangster Rap artist in Berlin. He mentions the different neighborhoods of Berlin where he grew up and dealt drugs, and the struggle he went through to make a name for himself in the music industry. Despite being a troublemaker at school, he felt cool in his block, and he tried to promote his music unsuccessfully. He had to turn to dealing drugs to make a living until he was signed to Aggro Berlin and later to Universal. He talks about his legacy as a living legend and his ambition to make his mother proud and continue making gold records.
In the chorus, he challenges his haters to rap against him and showcases his skills as a rapper who has made it from the streets to the stage. He boasts about his collaborations with fellow rappers like Baba Saad and his plans to become a movie star, like 50 Cent in the US. He sees himself as a nightmare for his enemies, but also as a role model for the next generation of rappers.
The song's lyrics reflect Bushido's tough upbringing and his determination to succeed despite the odds. He acknowledges his mistakes, but also sees his drug dealing past as a necessary step to achieve his goals. The song's message is that hard work and perseverance can lead to success, but also that the price of fame and fortune can be high.
