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'.

Ehrlich
Bushido Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Leute, was geht? Checkt mein Beat
Lasst euch verleiten mal ehrlich zu sein
Wir tauchen ab, in die Weiten eurer Seel'n
Schaut hin, seht ihr wer ihr seid
Ein winziger Punkt, in den Armen der Unendlichkeit
Ihr denkt, die Sonne dreht sich, weil ihr existiert
Doch was geht ab? Kommt runter, tut nicht so verbissen
Macht ihr auf Wannabe, dann wird auf euch geschissen
Sei doch mal ehrlich, was denkst du wenn du mich siehst?
Gut zu denken, ich bin dein Meister und du kniest (?)
Du bist cool, wenn (?) Geld
Dein Vater ist der Big Boss, deine Mutter geht fremd
Deine Schwester eine Schlampe, eine ätzende Hure
Die fette Mistsau an der Ecke, dein kleiner schwuler Bruder
Deine Wurzeln sind verseucht, die Zellen kollabier'n
Doch egal, du willst nach oben, jedem imponier'n
Junge, sei doch mal ehrlich: Was willst du wenn du ehrlich bist?
Suchst du wahren Respekt, ist es das was du vermisst?
Okay, den kannst du haben, aber alles hat 'n Preis
Aller Anfang ist schwer, es ist hart, wenn man nicht weiß
Junge, sei doch mal ehrlich: Was willst du wenn du ehrlich bist?
Suchst du wahren Respekt, ist es das was du vermisst?
Okay, den kannst du haben, aber alles hat 'n Preis
Aller Anfang ist schwer, es ist hart, wenn man nicht weiß
Kleiner Spast, du willst nach oben?
Ey, ich kann es dir nicht verdenken, doch pass auf denn
Wenn du oben bist, dann wird man dir nichts schenken
Ganz im Gegenteil, man nimmt dir alles was du hast
Turbopower, Action, (?)
Kontrast, schwarz weiß, hör lieber auf mit dem scheiß
Du spielst mit dem Feuer, Millionen Grade, viel zu heiß
Behalte deine Seele, dein einziges Gut
Gib Acht und halt die Fresse, (?) mit dir selber
Ich weiß es ist krass ungerecht, doch das ist das Leben
Unverfälscht, echt, jedes anders
Sonst fehlt der ganzen Sache doch der Spaß
Junge willst du (?) sein, dann gib doch endlich Gas
Es ist fünf vor zwölf, an den Start (?)
Denn wär es zwölf, dann wär es für dich jetzt echt zu spät
Meine Name ist Bushido, meine Stadt Westberlin
Und bei euch gibt es noch mehr, aber nur noch mit Termin
Junge, sei doch mal ehrlich: Was willst du wenn du ehrlich bist?
Suchst du wahren Respekt, ist es das was du vermisst?
Okay, den kannst du haben, aber alles hat 'n Preis
Aller Anfang ist schwer, es ist hart, wenn man nicht weiß
Junge, sei doch mal ehrlich: Was willst du wenn du ehrlich bist?
Suchst du wahren Respekt, ist es das was du vermisst?
Okay, den kannst du haben, aber alles hat 'n Preis
Aller Anfang ist schwer, es ist hart, wenn man nicht weiß
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Nix du, digga, Bushido
The lyrics of Bushido's song "Ehrlich" convey a message about self-reflection, honesty, and the pursuit of respect. The song starts with a call to the listeners, asking them to check out his beat and be honest. He encourages them to dive deep into their souls and examine who they truly are. He portrays humanity as tiny dots in the vastness of infinity, suggesting that people often think they are the center of the universe due to their existence. He challenges the notion that formal education and societal rules automatically make one wise and questions the seriousness and seriousness with which people approach life.
Bushido then poses a question to the listeners about their thoughts when they see him. He suggests that people may view him as their master, someone they submit to. He goes on to criticize societal hypocrisy, painting a picture of a dysfunctional family with deceitful parents, promiscuous siblings, and judgmental attitudes. He suggests that roots are contaminated and cells are collapsing, but despite this, people still aim to climb to the top and impress others, regardless of the damage caused.
The chorus of the song addresses the listener directly and challenges them to be honest about their true desires. It asks if they seek genuine respect and if that is what they feel is missing in their lives. It acknowledges that respect can be achieved but warns that everything in life has a price, and starting from scratch can be challenging and uncertain.
Continuing his critical tone, Bushido refers to someone as a "kleiner Spast" (a derogatory term), who also desires success and advancement. However, he warns of the difficulties that come with success, as there will be those who take advantage and strip away what one has achieved. He emphasizes the importance of self-preservation and encourages silence and caution amidst the chaos, recognizing that life can be unfair and diverse for everyone, but that's what makes it interesting.
The lyrics further highlight the urgency of taking action and not wasting time, as it is almost too late. Bushido introduces himself as an artist from West Berlin, implying that there are others like him but only accessible by appointment. This closing line suggests that he is part of an exclusive group or scene.
In summary, "Ehrlich" by Bushido is a contemplative song that emphasizes self-reflection, honesty, and the pursuit of respect. It questions societal norms, highlights personal struggles, and encourages listeners to be true to themselves amidst a complex and unfair world.
