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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spitte Überlyrics und helf mir selbst
Damit mir irgendwas an Deutschrap gefällt
Ihr zeigt mir euer Demo, doch ich hör nur weg
Denn jede Line, jeder Rhyme
Jeder Verse ist Dreck
Viele von euch Punks sind ziellos
Suchen Ärger aber wissen nicht wieso
Doch es fällt schwer
Gut, wenn ich der letzte Rapper
Auf der Welt wär
Ich bin ein normaler Typ und chillig aber
Geh ans Mikro und kack
Mitten auf dein Billigcover
Ich will nur exakt die Summe, die mir zusteht
Rappe gut, damit es meinen Leuten gut geht
Leute sagen zu mir Baba
Wenn ich behaupte, ihr könnt nix
Bin ich noch fair zu euch Suckers
Du willst gerne an den Penis
Um dich kurz zu erfrischen
Aber bitte chill Bitch, es geht nicht
Und bitte lass los, du Freak
Denn ich fick ohne Mühe alle
Deine Homes zum Beat
Rappe auf Tracks und gegen jeden im Biz und
Spit game - that's the way it is
The lyrics of Kool Savas's song "Changes" reflect his frustration with the state of Deutschrap (German rap) and his determination to rise above it. He opens by saying that he writes daily and spits over lyrics to help himself, hoping to find something in Deutschrap that he likes. However, he dismisses every demo he hears because he finds every line, rhyme, and verse to be garbage.
He criticizes many aspiring rappers, calling them aimless and trouble-seeking without knowing why. He expresses his desire to no longer think about them, but admits that it is difficult. He even goes as far as saying that he wishes he were the last rapper in the world. Despite being a normal and laid-back guy, when he steps up to the microphone, he defecates metaphorically on their cheap album covers, asserting his superiority.
Kool Savas emphasizes that he only wants the exact sum that he deserves for his talent, rapping well so that it benefits his people. People call him "Baba" (slang for boss) when he claims that they can't do anything. He tries to be fair to his competitors but warns them that if they want to refresh themselves by quickly grabbing his penis (metaphorically), they should chill because it's not going to happen. He tells them to let go and calls them freaks because he effortlessly defeats all their friends in rap battles. He raps on tracks, going against anyone in the business and spits game - that's just the way it is.
Overall, Kool Savas's lyrics in "Changes" reflect his dissatisfaction with the quality of Deutschrap and his determination to prove himself as a superior rapper.

@malikibnmuhammadbashir
I see no changes, wake up in the morning and I ask myself
Is life worth livin'? Should I blast myself?
I'm tired of bein' poor and, even worse, I'm black
My stomach hurts so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch
Cops give a damn about a negro
Pull the trigger, kill a nigga, he's a hero
Give the crack to the kids, who the hell cares?
One less hungry mouth on the welfare
First ship 'em dope and let 'em deal to brothers
Give 'em guns, step back, watch 'em kill each other
"It's time to fight back, " that's what Huey said
Two shots in the dark, now Huey's dead
I got love for my brother
But we can never go nowhere unless we share with each other
We gotta start makin' changes
Learn to see me as a brother instead of two distant strangers
And that's how it's supposed to be
How can the Devil take a brother if he's close to me? Uh
I'd love to go back to when we played as kids
But things change, and that's the way it is
That's just the way it is (Changes)
Things'll never be the same
That's just the way it is (That's the way it is, what?)
Aww, yeah-yeah (Hear me)
(Oh my, oh my, come on, come on)
That's just the way it is (That's just the way it is, the way it is)
Things'll never be the same
(Never be the same, yeah, yeah, yeah, aww, yeah)
That's just the way it is (Way it is)
Aww, yeah (Come on, come on)
I see no changes, all I see is racist faces
Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races
We under, I wonder what it takes to make this
One better place, let's erase the wasted
Take the evil out the people, they'll be actin' right
'Cause both black and white are smokin' crack tonight
And the only time we chill is when we kill each other (Kill each other)
It takes skill to be real, time to heal each other
And although it seems heaven-sent
We ain't ready to see a black president, uh (Oh-ooh)
It ain't a secret, don't conceal the fact
The penitentiary's packed and it's filled with blacks
But some things will never change (Never Change)
Try to show another way, but you stayin' in the dope game (Ooh)
Now tell me, what's a mother to do?
Bein' real don't appeal to the brother in you (Yeah)
You gotta operate the easy way
"I made a G today, " but you made it in a sleazy way
Sellin' crack to the kids (Oh-oh), "I gotta get paid" (Oh)
Well hey, well that's the way it is
Wie kann man so ein starken text veranstalten und denn nocj komplett den flow biten
Jeder reim auf deutsch ist perfekt auf den Wortlaut des originals angepasst
Gute gemacht aber mir leider zu lasch
Da kein bisscjen deepness oder realness erarbeitet wurde .
Schade
Pac ist eben einfach king
Keiner wie pac
@malikibnmuhammadbashir
Ps pac hat diesem song auch gecovert zumindestens die hook
Und hat meiner Meinung nach
Etwas besseres gemacht
Oder zumindestens etwas das mit dem original mithalten kann
Das sollte scjon der sinn dein wenn man einen remake macht
Aber das hier ohje ohje
