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.
Legt Euch ins Zeug feat. Amar Kaas & Moe Mitchell
Kool Savas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Du machst auf Gangsterboss
Doch jeder weiß du bist ein Hühnerdieb
Ein Überbeat
Cemil danke für den fetten Banger
Ich schieß wie Heckenschützen
Auf euch Heckenpenner guck mal
Dass ich alles fick und diese
Denn ich hab mehr Combos als Tekken 5
Hauptsache aufpassen
Ihr müsst langsam aufwachen
Euch Kaulquappen wird das Maul
Gestopft wie Maultaschen
Gib mir das Mikrophon, ich rhyme
Du hast keine Chance
Homes dein Talent ist mikroskopisch klein
Sie meinen meine Zeit wär bald um
Die Lösung wär'n Album
Und jetzt spuck ich Lines
Explosiv wie Kernspaltung
Wort vor dem Herrn, O zu dem R
Guck auf die Uhr, Bellotime
Zeit sich sofort zu beschweren
Du wirst bestrahlt oh
Wie bei 'ner Chemothreapie
Savas, Kaas, Amar
Moe is' was dich demoralisiert
Ihr fragt euch, wie kann es sein
Das sie besser sind
Aber wie das läuft, zeigen wir
Euch, legt euch ins Zeug, ouu
Ihr fragt euch, wie kann es sein
Das sie besser sind
Aber wie das läuft, zeigen wir
Euch, legt euch ins Zeug, ouu
OR Psychopaten, Licht an - Licht aus
Technomucke ganz laut
Jetzt ist bei uns Discoabend
Du bist 'ne Witzfigur
Die Steigerung von Missgeburt
Warum bist du so 'ne Hure?
Still mal meinen Wissensdurst
Ich sitzt vor der Glotze, nichtsahnend
Schau dein Video an und krieg 'nen Ständer
Denn du siehst wirklich aus wie 'ne Fotze
Um mit dir normal zu reden
Müsst ich mir die Kante geben
Ich wollt zu Beginn die deutsche
Szene aus den Angeln heben
Heut fühl ich mich mehr als Rocker
Dabei mag ich Rockmusik nicht
Du bist ein Punk
Wie beim Media Markt Plakat mit Olli Dittrich
Für dich ist die 7 klasse
Wie'n Abschluss in Harvard
Und du gibst mehr Unsinn von dir
Als wenn acht Tussen labern
Dis ist alles Stuss
Aber auch einbisschen ernst gemeint
Vielleicht bist du jetzt grad im Bett und
Rammst dir fett 'ne Kerze rein
Schön für dich
Endlich hast du Vogel was zu tun
Mach dein Ding
Doch lass mich bloß damit in ruh ha ha ha ha
Kaas kann auf dem Wassr laufen
Und das Wetter verändern man kann sehen
Wie die Wolken sich lüften
Und die Sonne erscheint
Und er spührt ein Glücksgefühl im Bauch drin
Breitgrinsen, sagt er: "Schönes Leben"
Denn er weiß
200 weißgoldene Engel beschützen ihn
Auf Schritt und Tritt
Und führen ihn im Glück
Er peilt die Spitze an und
Macht ein Schritt gerade aus
Einen nach links, eine Drehung
Alle Augen auf ihn drauf
Er tanzt mit dem Schicksal
Das Schicksal trägt ein Abendkleid
Und flüster ihm ins Ohr: "Sag bescheid
Wenn du was brauchst!"
Er bedankt sich und sagt: "Überrasch
Mich und die Jungs
Mit nem fantastisch positiven Traum
Der wahr wird"
Jetzt ist er glücklich und aufeinmal
Hört man den Applaus
Und der Vorhang fällt zu
Denn das Stück ist aus
Kaas kommt nocheinmal hervor
Verbeugt sich vor der Crowd
Und das Licht fadet langsam aus: Szene
In the lyrics to "Legt Euch ins Zeug" by Kool Savas featuring Amar, Kaas, and Moe Mitchell, the artists portray a sense of confidence and superiority in their skills and abilities. The opening lines suggest that they are a powerful force in the music industry, likening their song to dynamite. They call out those who pretend to be tough gangsters but are actually insignificant ("Hühnerdieb" translates to chicken thief in German), emphasizing their own dominance over others with their aggressive rap style. The reference to Tekken 5 and the idea of having more combos than the video game signifies their skill and versatility in their craft.
The lyrics also touch on themes of self-awareness and self-assurance, as they dismiss any doubts about their talents and dismissive attitudes towards their music. They confidently claim their place in the music scene and show no fear in confronting anyone who doubts their abilities. The lines about being stricken with fear like in a chemotherapy session add a sense of intensity and power to their words. The reference to the Bellotime indicates a moment to take notice of, as they are about to make a significant impact with their performance.
The artists continue to assert their dominance by challenging anyone who questions their superiority, encouraging them to step up their game and work harder. They highlight their own dedication to their craft and their relentless pursuit of success in the competitive music industry. The lyrics suggest that their talent and dedication set them apart from others, and they are unapologetic about their drive to excel and prove themselves to any doubters.
The song also includes verses that mock and ridicule those who are seen as inferior or lacking in skill. The sarcastic tone and playful insults directed at their perceived rivals showcase their confidence and assertiveness. The artists use humor and wordplay to undermine the credibility of those they consider beneath them, while also showcasing their own wit and cleverness in their lyrics. The overall message of the song seems to be a call to action for others to step up and match their level of skill and determination, or risk being overshadowed by their talent and prowess in the music industry.
