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.

Du behauptest
Ich bin abgehoben und muss boasten
Doch ich liebe Rap zu sehr um
In dein Gästebuch zu posten
Ihr seid keine Rapper
Sondern kleine Hoes wie Eve
Und übt lieber nur das Mic
Zu passen oder apportieren

Ich bring Hass zu Papier
Und Bitches zum erfrieren
Komm ans Mic und kehr um, ich rhyme
Du verstummst dein Gesicht macht blind wie
Werbung und mich aggressiv
Ich stecke Hoes und Brand und
Schicke sogenannte Crews in Krisen
Eure deepen Rhymes bedürfen keiner Analyse
Kack auf Beats und tanz zu Trommeln
Auf Aspahlt mit nackten Füßen
Ihr müsst statt zu fronten und
Nicht grüßen etwas üben
Und noch warten bis ich sage:
Du kannst HipHop wiederhaben

Lass Rap, wenn dein Rhyme zu soft ist
Und nicht zum Beat passt
Deine Crew glaubt sie hat
Endflows und ist unfassbar
Dick down, groß im Game, du
Willst Fame, komm her, spast

Werd geburnt, rhyme
Doch dein Flow turnt keinen

He compares them to "little hoes" like Eve, implying that they are more interested in seeking attention and validation than creating meaningful music.

Kool Savas also uses wordplay and metaphors to showcase his own lyrical prowess. He claims to bring "Hass zu Papier" (hate to paper) and freeze bitches with his words. This suggests that his lyrics are sharp and impactful, capable of evoking strong emotions in listeners. He further challenges other rappers to step up to the mic and try to compete with him, confident that his rhymes will dominate and silence them.

Furthermore, Kool Savas expresses his disdain for rappers who rely on superficialities rather than truly delving deep into their lyrics. He dismisses their rhymes as lacking substance and considers them unworthy of analysis. Instead, he emphasizes the importance of authentic expression and urges other rappers to focus on honing their skills and improving rather than trying to front or act superior.

Ultimately, Kool Savas concludes by asserting his dominance over the rap scene. He declares that until he decides to relinquish his hold on HipHop, others should continue to practice and wait for his permission to claim their stake in the genre. This statement further showcases his confidence and establishes him as a formidable force in the rap industry.
