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 ↴

I woke up early this morning
Mit dem Schwanz in der Hand, Sonne im Gesicht, entspannt wie am Strand
Ready für's Studio, frisch geduscht und Shirt gebügelt, Parts und Blow
Pump mein Remix-Album laut im Auto, feier' mich selbst
Feier my life, mein Flow ist Fire am Mic
Ich bin von eurem Scheiß gelangweilt
Dreh die Mucke auf!

I woke up early this morning
Sah in den Spiegel, sah einen Star im Spiegel
Fuck it, ich bin ganz normal geblieben
Ich kann gut verstehen, dass Rapper Panik kriegen, sich fürchten
Denn ich geh ans Mic und brat sie wie Würstchen
Ich mach das wirklich, ich schwör
Ich schnapp sie mir, teil sie in vier, mach sie am Mic platt
Ihr braucht nix anderes mehr wenn ich mal das Mic hab
Ich bin der King!

I woke up early this morning
Sah mich auf VIVA, ich bin ein perverser Freier wie Friedmann
Ich komm und fick dich, komm
In dein Studio und spitt, werte deinen Track auf
Ich kenn mich mit Pattern aus, doch mach was ich will
Und rap aus dem Bauch
Ich brauch keine Führung, ich bin selbst ein Führer
Bin selbst mein Führer
Ich fühl mich heute anders als früher
Ich mach Money!

I woke up early this morning
Um dir zu sagen, dein Mädel war gestern Abend nur hier um zu blasen
Mach dir keinen Kopf, ich lass sie schlucken, dropp sie dann wie ein Label
Dropp sie wie einen Kegel, ich komm in ihrer Futt in der Regel
Die Hoe, sie blowt, nimmt ihn in den Mund wie Verpflegung
Ich muss nicht mal drum bitten, nicht mit ihr reden
Ihr nur den Penis geben

I woke up early this morning
Fuck it
Katch!

Let's go!
Bring it back, oh!
