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.
So Lange
Bushido Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Es fühlt sich an als würd' ich grad mein Best-of schreiben
Denn ab jetzt könnte jedes Album das letzte sein
Immer noch so hungrig wie beim Warm-up
Hungrig, so als säße ich in Borchardt
Bushido in den Boxen auf dem Sportplatz
Jeder Vorstadt, so lang bis ich das letzte Wort sag'
B.I.G. sky is the limit!
Und wieder sind die Missgeburten wutentbrannt
Denn ich fick' noch ein paar Mütter vor dem Ruhestand
Sie denken, ich schreib' meine Memoiren
Doch ich mache Jagd auf Böhmermann als wär' ich Erdoğan
Und wenn ich gehe, hinterlasse ich ein schwarzes Loch
Doch ich bleib' für immer jung, so wie Karel Gott
Wann für immer Schluss ist, entscheide ich nach Lust und Laune
Doch meine Tochter ruft mich an und sagt, ich muss nach Hause
So lang sie Lügen über mich und meine Gang erzählen
Kann ich einfach nicht in Rente gehen
So lange das Finanzamt weiter jeden meiner Cents umdreht
Kann ich einfach nicht in Rente gehen
So lang der Beat läuft auf meiner MPC
Kann ich einfach nicht in Rente gehen
Weil die andern es nicht schaffen, euch zu entertainen
Kann ich einfach nicht in Rente gehen
Mein erstes Album hat mehr Klassiker als jedes Greatest Hits
Die Eins auf jeder Liste eurer Deutschrap-Favorites
Noch immer up-to-date, state of the art
Seit mei'm allerersten Majorvertrag
Und glaub mir, nach dieser Schelle hilft kein Ibuprofen
Denn eure Stars waren alle Fans auf kingbushido.De
Haben im Forum kommentiert und mein Leben gestalkt
Echo, Bambi, MTV ich hab' jeden Award
Immer noch Most Wanted, explicit Content
King of Kings bevor ihr's wissen konntet
Berliner Straßen keine Sonne, nur Schatten
In diesem Dschungel aus Beton hab' ich ein Genre erschaffen
Ich hab' es manifestiert mit einem Tritt in die Tür
Tritt in die Tür, ihr könnt euch alle ficken wie früher, yeah
Ich mach' mein Solo hart, schreib' den Text im Poloshirt
Weil ihr die Wahrheit nicht in irgendeiner Doku hört
So lang sie Lügen über mich und meine Gang erzählen
Kann ich einfach nicht in Rente gehen
So lange das Finanzamt weiter jeden meiner Cents umdreht
Kann ich einfach nicht in Rente gehen
So lang der Beat läuft auf meiner MPC
Kann ich einfach nicht in Rente gehen
Weil die andern es nicht schaffen, euch zu entertainen
Kann ich einfach nicht in Rente gehen
Still the beats bang, still doin' my thang
I have visions of making a classic
No one expected to me to blow like this
But hol' up, I'm not done yet
The beats bang, still doin' my thang
No one expected to me to blow like this
But hol' up, I'm not done yet
The song "So Lange" by German rapper Bushido is about his refusal to retire and leave the rap game even after 15 years of fame, success, and controversy. He starts the song by saying he feels like he's writing his best-of compilation album, but from now on, every album could be his last one. He's still as hungry as he was when he started, sitting at a fancy restaurant (Borchardt) dreaming of success. He name-drops his own persona and music in a way that suggests he is aware of his own impact and legacy. He talks about his haters and critics who can't stand the fact that he's still making music and seducing women even in his 40s. He references the recent feud between him and German comedian Jan Böhmermann and likens himself to Turkish president Erdogan who went after Böhmermann for insulting him on TV. Bushido ends the first verse by saying that he will leave a black hole behind him when he dies, but he will stay forever young like Czech singer Karel Gott. However, when his daughter calls him, he has to go back home.
The chorus of the song reiterates Bushido's insistence on not retiring because he feels that people are still telling lies about him and his gang, the Finanzamt (tax office) is still going after his money, the beats on his MPC (Music Production Center) still sound good, and he's still better at entertaining people than anyone else.
In the second verse, Bushido reminds his fans and haters that his debut album "Vom Bordstein bis zur Skyline" (2003) is a classic and has more hits than any other greatest hits compilation. He also talks about how he used to connect with his fans on his website kingbushido.de and how other rappers used to admire him and his achievements. He mentions the different awards he has won over the years and how he's still explicit and controversial. He claims that he's the King of Kings and that he has created a whole genre with his style and lyrics. He then drops a line about kicking the door down, which might be a reference to his infamous violent past or to his willingness to make bold statements and challenge the status quo. He also mentions his preference for writing lyrics in a polo shirt, as opposed to dressing up in a suit or a rapper's uniform. He ends the song with a repetition of the chorus and a catchy hook that he's not done yet and that he's still doing his thing.
Overall, "So Lange" is a self-affirmation anthem by a rapper who has been through a lot of ups and downs but still believes in himself and his skills. He addresses his fans and foes alike and tries to explain why he's still relevant and important in the German rap scene. The song showcases Bushido's lyrical talent, his confidence, his wit, and his signature flow.
