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.

Way back
Back into time!
Ich mag die Beats so deep, du denkst, du fliegst auf Weed!
Ich mag die Beats so deep, du denkst, du fliegst auf Weed!
Dein Gefronte hilft dir nur die Wahrheit nicht zu peilen
Du willst rappen? Geh beiseite! Ich zerquetsche Bitches
Und zerlege Hoes in Pixel, ich schreibe um Rap zu bewegen
Eine Geste von dir reicht um zu begreifen, du bist schwul
Und gegen jede Crew mit aggressiven Raps wie Dru Hill
S der Boss, ihr macht erst auf Hasser, dann auf Freunde
Sieh, ich step an's Mic und schwule Bitches werden still wie Bäume
Du vergeudest deine Zeit und bitest, ich zerfleische Rapper
Du und Deichkind, Ihr habt was gemeinsam und zwar Scheiße
S-A-V, ich teile Crews entzwei, befreie freshe Flows
Du rhymst gut, doch du bist nicht mehr als ein Mittagessen
Deine Crew behauptet, ich bin nur MC aus Frust
Doch ich geh an's Mic und rolle über Hip Hop wie ein Bus
Rap aus einem Guss
Du willst etwas ändern? Ander lieber deine Sicht!
Du meinst, du kannst mich zerficken? Aber nee
Ich mag die Beats so deep, du denkst, du fliegst auf Weed!
Ich mag die Beats so deep, du denkst, du fliegst auf Weed!
Ich mag die Beats so deep, du denkst, du fliegst auf Weed!
In Kool Savas's "Fehdehandschuh" the lyrics express the rapper's confidence, as he boasts about his abilities on the microphone and asserts his dominance over other MCs. His love for deep beats that make you feel like you're flying high is highlighted throughout the song, as it is repeated several times. In the first verse, he calls out other rappers who try to front but can't handle the truth, claiming that he can kill an entire crew with just one line. He further dismisses them by stating that he writes to move rap forward, while they only write to crush women and break hoes into pixels.
The second verse continues with Kool Savas attacking those who try to rap and compete with him, mocking their lack of talent, and comparing them to trees that are silent in his presence. He asserts that he can easily tear other rappers apart and even makes a reference to popular German band, Deichkind, making it clear that he thinks they are also terrible. The final lines of the verse are a strong expression of his superiority and disregard for other MCs, stating that he rolls over hip hop like a bus, and his rhymes are like a well-oiled machine.
The chorus is a repetition of his love for good beats that take the listener to another level. Overall, "Fehdehandschuh" showcases Kool Savas's confidence and lyrical prowess in a way that is both entertaining and impressive.

War ne schöne Zeit damals. Und der Herr Dammann ist seit einiger Zeit studierter Neurochirurg. Das nenne ich mal einen Quereinstieg. Früher hat er dich verbal zum feiern gebracht und heute restauriert er dein Spinal Cord. Was für ein Werdegang.
