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.
Ich weiß nicht wie
Kool Savas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Die Leute folgen der Sonne, folgen Freunde der Sonne
Eins, ich fick deine Freunde alleine
Es weht ein neuer Wind ich lad dich ein Zeuge zu sein
Zwei, ich fick deine Freundin allein
Dein Mädel kommt heute nicht heim sie bläst
Drei, ich weiß nicht, was ich sagen soll
Vier, ich hab ein neues Ziel im Visier
Ice Ice Baby ist alles, was mich noch interessiert
Fünf, dein Flow ist eine glatte fünf
Auf fünf reimt sich leider nur fünf Weiter zu
Sechs, genau da war mein Album
Seitdem bin ich ein neuer Mensch mit neuer Haltung
Sieben, mein Flow gibt dir das Gefühl vom Fliegen
Nicht Eintagsfliegen Ich mein das Fliegen
Acht, ich achte drauf, dass alles klatscht
Achte drauf, dass alles passt Sonst wird's passend gemacht
In Kool Savas's song "Ich weiß nicht wie," the lyrics primarily focus on the artist asserting his dominance and superiority over others in various aspects of life. The repeated lines "Die Leute folgen der Sonne, folgen Freunde der Sonne" can be interpreted as people following the sun, symbolizing popularity and success. The artist emphasizes that he is the one people should follow, as he proclaims his ability to defeat others.
The first verse expresses his intention to defeat his opponents' friends and partners. He claims to be able to do it alone, suggesting his confidence and superiority. In the second verse, he specifically targets his opponent's girlfriend, suggesting that she won't go home because she's involved with him. This verse highlights the artist's arrogance and disrespect for others.
The third verse reflects his dissatisfaction with a certain flow or style of rap. He states that it turns him off and that he's tired of it. In the fourth verse, he mentions having a new goal or focus, which seems to revolve around the phrase "Ice Ice Baby," perhaps referencing his desire for material gain or success.
The fifth verse refers to his opponent's flow as being subpar, rating it as a "glatte fünf," which is a low score. He mentions continuing with his own flow, indicating his confidence in his own abilities. In the sixth verse, he mentions his album at a specific point in time, suggesting that it marked a turning point for him and brought about a new mindset. This verse highlights personal growth and change.
The seventh verse highlights the artist's exceptional flow, comparing it to the sensation of flying. He distinguishes it from one-hit wonders, emphasizing its consistency and longevity. In the eighth and final verse, he emphasizes his attention to detail, ensuring that everything is on point. If something doesn't fit, he will make it fit, asserting his control and perfectionism.

Ohja, der Track ist zu krass. Ich hör überhaupt keine Savas Musik, aber das Lied ist echt der Bruner.

Auf 5 reimt sich leider nur 5 - weiter zur 6. Damit katapultierte sich Savas damals in die Major-League.
