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 ↴
wer von euch ist so wie ich und hält den Schwanz in beiden Händen?
Du willst mit mir teilen doch was hast du mir zu bieten? Wohin,
kannst du noch gehen wenn wir kommen um dich zu kriegen?
Ich bin, einfach cool und ihr wollt gerne mit mir feiern,
ich trainiere jeden Morgen mit Gewichten an den Eiern.
Du darfst mit mir reden doch ich schenk' dir keine Blume,
wenn du denkst ich komme nicht mehr warte ich vor deiner Schule.
ihr könnt alle vor mir stehen und ich battle euch in Gruppen.
Ich schreib' Gangster-Texte, seht mich an ich bin es wirklich, Rap,
hat rote Augen und ich fick' euch noch mit vierzig weg.
Ich kann alles, besser als ihr Toys,
ihr seht alle aus wie Punker, ich bin eins achtzig wie Royce.
Ich hol' mir, was mir gehört und danach hol' ich mir deins,
ich komm' erst aus meiner Höhle wenn die Sonne nicht mehr scheint.
(2x Chorus:)
Du behauptest du wärst Gangster, doch du bist ein Groupie,
jeder deiner arschgefickten Texte ist so schwul wie,
Nutten ohne Titten, verpiss' dich wenn ich bounce,
ich hab' gehört du willst mich ficken?
Ach was, geh' nach hause.
Nimm' die besten Alben die du kennst, wirf' sie weg denn jetzt kommt Frank
White, zwanzig Jahre alt und besser als dein Oldschool-Scheiß (shit),
Komm' beweis, du kannst mehr als ich im Leben,
jeder in deiner Gang ist schwul und will freundlich mit mir reden.
Jetzt ist Streit, komm und fighte, du willst reden, rede Scheiße,
du kannst jeden battlen doch bei Frank White bist du leise.
Wie siehst du aus? Denkst Penner sein ist Underground,
frag' nicht ob ich Gangster bin sonst brenn' ich dir dein Haus ab.
Du bist ein Spast und sagst jedem wir sind Freunde,
doch ich hasse dein' Bezirk deine Raps und deine Leute.
Ich bin King, renn, big Frank fickt dich halbes Hemd,
Ich rap weiter Action bis mich jeder von euch kennt.
Was ist jetzt, deine ganze Gang zieht Leine,
denn ich fick' Toys wie Big Noyd und zähle meine Scheine.
Ihr seid alle scheiße denn, keiner will sich boxen,
ich trag' immer meine Knarre und die Jeans steckt in den Socken.
(2x Chorus)
The lyrics to Bushido/Fler's song Geh Nach Hause are brimming with aggression and posturing, as the rappers assert their dominance over their rivals. The first stanza highlights the roughness of the place where they come from, where the sound of rats in the walls is a common occurrence. They challenge their opponents to reveal if they are as ruthless as they are and ready to face them. The lines "Ihr seid alles Tunten, eure Eltern dumme Nutten" are a direct insult to their rivals' masculinity, while the following lines build up Bushido/Fler's toughness by describing his morning workout regimen with weights attached to his testes. The chorus is a direct dismissal of their rivals' claims of being gangsters as Bushido/Fler tell them to go home, as they do not measure up to their standards.
In the second stanza, the rappers elevate themselves in the hierarchy of the rap scene, dismissing all other albums as inferior to their work. They express their desire for competition, challenging anyone to prove themselves better than them. The accusation that all gang members are homosexual and friendly towards the rappers could be interpreted as a homophobic jab, while the threat to burn down homes is an example of the violent consequences of competition. The mention of Frank White is alluding to the fictional character from the film "King of New York," who is portrayed as a violent drug lord. Bushido/Fler associate themselves with this character to add to their perceived toughness. The final lines of the song convey an ominous sense of danger as the rappers describe always carrying a gun and keeping their jeans tucked into their socks.
