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.

This this
This, is, S, ok

This klingt wie tausend Fans die Amok laufen
Schrein und brüllen ihr seid dumm
Fragt tragen Maulwürfe keine Brillen?
Gabs Marry Poppins
Den Osterhasen und Dagobert Duck?

Was? vielleicht bin ich Krank weil ich
Grad die Lage nicht raff
Homie das ist mir zu hoch
Nein das ist mir zu hohl
Wenn ich aus diesem Game hier geh
Gibts für euch nichts mehr zu holen
Wie in nem leeren Lidl
Du willst rammeln doch hast
Ein leeren Schniedel
Flehst deine Freundin an
Mädel gib mir doch ein bisschen Liebe
Nein, sie will nicht
Ich mein so ist der shit
Meine Zeit an diesem Mic
Hier ist leider befristet
Ich bin hungrig wie ein Löwe
Hab durst wie Fred
Du gehst nicht mehr auf den Pott
Setzt deine Wurst ins Bett
Du bist ein prachtvoller
Kraftvoller schwuler, ein powerbläser
Ich spiel mit Range Rovers du
Mit den Power Rangers
Ich bring Terror wie die Squads

Spitt Feuer höher her
Und sag dir yeah, yeah, yeah

The song starts off with a reference to the chaotic energy of a crowd, comparing it to the fans going crazy. The line "Schrein und brüllen ihr seid dumm" (Scream and shout, you're dumb) criticizes mindless followers who blindly worship without question. The following lines play with absurd imagery, questioning the existence of fictional characters like Mary Poppins, the Easter Bunny, and Scrooge McDuck, suggesting that the rapper feels disconnected from the reality around him.

Moving on, Kool Savas expresses his confusion regarding the current state of the industry. He finds it both overwhelming and shallow, unable to grasp the intricacies of the situation. The line "Homie das ist mir zu hoch, Nein das ist mir zu hohl" (Homie, that's too complex for me, no, that's too hollow for me) reflects his disinterest and lack of faith in the significance of the scene. He implies that once he leaves the game, there will be nothing left for others to gain.
