Musical career:
Savas' career began with the recording Warum rappst du? ("Why do you rap?"). He gained attention with controversial lyrics in songs like Schwule Rapper ("Gay Rappers"), LMS (Lutsch mein' Schwanz, "Suck my dick"), and Pimplegioneah. Initially Savas rapped in English in groups like the Basic Elements. He became more successful in bands such as M.O.R. und Westberlin Maskulin together with the underground-rapper Taktloss. In 2001 he left his recording firm Put Da Needle To Da Records and the group M.O.R. itself because of personal and artistic differences.
In 2002 he released his first solo album Der beste Tag meines Lebens (The best day of my life) with his own recording company begun in the same year, Optik Records. He worked with many German and international artists including Azad, Curse, Moses Pelham, Samy Deluxe, RZA, J-Luv, Lumidee, Bligg, Jadakiss, Xavier Naidoo, and Smut Peddlers.
With his recording firm, he sought to build up and promote a number of artists, including for example Eko Fresh whom he discovered. Currently the following artists are under contract: DJ Nicon, Melbeatz, Ercandize, Caput, and Amar. The contract with the rapper SD ended because of musical differences and he left followed by his friend Spontan. At the moment Savas' little brother Sinan is also under contract.
At the end of 2004, Eko Fresh released the song Die Abrechnung in which he dissed Kool Savas. In February 2005, Kool Savas answered with the track Das Urteil ("The judgement"). The track was available for free download on the hip hop website Mzee.com and was accompanied by a video clip that was voted twenty times for first place on the MTV TRL charts.
In March 2005 he participated in an advertising campaign for the animals rights organization PETA in which he spoke against the consumption of meat.
Private life:
As a baby Savas returned to Turkey with his family at one years old. His father was arrested for political activities, forcing his mother to return to Aachen. In 1987 the reunited family moved to Berlin where Savas first came in contact with rap music. In 1997, he acted in the film Geschwister – Kardesler in the role of Ahmed.
He lives with his long-time girlfriend Melbeatz (Melanie) in Heidelberg. The relationship is also one of artistic and business collaboration as she makes many of his beats. They also are both vegetarians. At the end of 2004, there was a rumor that they were no longer together. Savas responded in the song Was hab' ich dir angetan? (What did I do to you?) on the album ONE.

Kool Savas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whoa Whoa
S! S!
Aha, whoa, S!
Ich bin ein Fan von mir, bleib fern von mir
Oder red ruhig über mich, denn auch ich red gern von mir
Ihr könnt euch gern formieren, kommen und gehen
Ich fick auch jede Nachwuchscrew am Mic, Willkommen im Game
Du hast lang genug geboastet und verlierst den Deal
Ich bin der beste Rapper den du kennst
Erste MC an den du denkst
Der Grund warum du dein Album fast "Der beste Tag meines Lebens" nennst!
In these lyrics from Kool Savas's song "#1," the artist asserts his self-confidence and self-importance. The repetitive exclamations of "Aha Aha," "Whoa Whoa," and "S! S!" serve as an attention-grabbing introduction, drawing the listener into his declaration. He expresses that he is a fan of himself, implying that he believes in his talent and abilities. Furthermore, he challenges others to either stay away from him or talk about him, as he also enjoys speaking about himself. This suggests that he welcomes both admiration and criticism, confident in his ability to handle both.
Kool Savas then addresses those who try to form alliances or come and go in the industry, declaring that he can outperform any up-and-coming crew on the microphone. The line "One Satz ist schon genug und ihr quittiert den Dienst" can be interpreted as a dismissive statement, implying that he can shut down his competitors with just one sentence and make them quit their attempts to challenge him. He goes on to proclaim himself as the best rapper one can know and the first MC that comes to mind. This line carries a sense of pride and establishes his position as a highly regarded artist. In addition, he suggests that he is the inspiration behind someone titling their album almost as "The best day of my life," implying his influence and impact on other musicians.
Overall, these lyrics serve to assert Kool Savas's self-confidence, his belief in his own abilities, and his position as a dominant force in the rap industry.
