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.

Kool Savas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Denn ich hab' dieses Rapding in mei'm Blut
Weil ich 'n sechsten Sinn hab' (Sinn hab')
Sind sieben Leben für sie nicht genug
Zeig' meinem Sohn die Roughs, er sagt: „Baba, lass nochma' hören“
Konkurrenten hängen mir im Nacken, als wär' ich Walter Röhrl
Fühl' mich wie Corona, niemand hat an mich geglaubt
Der blaue Panzer bei Mario, schieß' immer auf die Eins
Ihr ganzes Image ein Korsett, die Wichser zwingen sich hinein
Jeder hier plant, was gemeint ist, kill' generationsübergreifend
Vergleichbar mit Jean Reno in „Leon der Pro“ mit der Kleinen
Siehst du das Funkeln des Visiers meiner Sniper, ist es zu spät
Diese Hunde fantasieren von Ice, doch essen Sorbet
Kein Zweifel hier, du hast recht, mein ganzes Leben ist gefickt
Denn ich sterb' eines Tages als Legende und du als Nichts (Essah)
Sie nennen mich zurecht 'nen Killer (Killer)
Denn ich hab' dieses Rapding in mei'm Blut
Weil ich 'n sechsten Sinn hab' (Sinn hab')
Sind sieben Leben für sie nicht genug
Fallen die Hülsen auf den Boden
Klingt es in mein' Ohren wie Musik
Komponiere mit Patronen
Ihre Todesmelodie
Ob Mann, ob Frau, Pangender, Non-binär, Butch oder Nullgeschlecht
Ich kill' wack MCs seit den Plastikmikros und Multitrackern
Rapper stellen sich jetzt zur Schau wie Instagrammer-Sluts
Komm' nur um sie zu ficken, als hätten wir 'n Tinder-Match gehabt
Dein Album wird gehypt, ich hör' ma' rein, Rhetorik von 'nem Erstklässler
Spitt' 'ne Line, du lässt die Maske fallen wie ein Querdenker
Merk' mir die Namen nicht, nutze „Missgeburt“ als Eselsbrücke
Werd' zum Killer, freitags immer, wenn ich durch die Playlist skippe
Jeder Flow fürs sie wie 'ne außerirdische Entität
10.02. mein B-Day, ich erwarte ein Präsent (mh-eh)
Was Selbstgemachtes, auch wenn der Preis dafür nicht mal 'n Cent beträgt
Dich zu erhängen wär' 'ne wundervolle Geschenkidee
Sie nennen mich zurecht 'nen Killer (Killer)
Denn ich hab' dieses Rapding in mei'm Blut
Weil ich 'n sechsten Sinn hab' (Sinn hab')
Sind sieben Leben für sie nicht genug
Fallen die Hülsen auf den Boden
Klingt es in mein' Ohren wie Musik
Komponiere mit Patronen (ah)
Ihre Todesmelodie
Halte diesen Rappern ungeschönt den Spiegel vor's Gesicht
Find' erst Frieden, wenn sie liegen, dort, wo niemand sie vermisst
(Sie nennen mich 'n Killer)
Kurzer Prozess wie vorm Familiengericht
Picke Beats und schick' MCs ins Paradies, als wär' es nichts
(Sie nennen mich 'n Killer)
Serienkiller, dreh' Todesfolgen mit Todesfolgen
Platten Platin, Patronen so wie die Krone golden
Zeig' diesen Hunden den Unterschied zwischen gut und schlecht
Was ungerecht ist, bleibt nicht ungerächt

Sanja Sanja
Kolle sein Part im neuen Song auch heftig ja aber ks auch einfach zu gut
General Guardian of Power
Savas ist der besserer MC. Kollegah ist der bessere Rapper. Ein Feat. von den beiden wäre nice...wobei man immer zum Feature wird, wenn man Kolle featured :D
Stellt euch vor, Kollegah & Savas & Sun Diego. Das wäre Endlevel.
Max
Kolle hat die krasseren Reime aber Savas is für mich raptechnisch nochmal ein anderes Level
JONAH
@General Guardian of Power kann man wohl so unterschreiben
