Childhood:
Samy Deluxe grew up with his mothers family as his Sudanese father left Germany when Samy was just two years old. Shortly after this event his half-sister was born. After living in Barmbek for many years they then moved to Eppendorf, a generally better-off suburb of Hamburg. Given this contrast - he certainly did not come from a well-off background - and his constant problems at school with teachers who he often defied, he looked for a release and a way to express himself away from school. He soon discovered music.
Style:
Samy modelled himself on American hip hop. This gave him a great sense of caring for his family, although he boasts of having had a good relationship with his mother and the people who looked after him. He practised all year long writing lyrics and spitting them, he has outstanding freestyling skills. Even his fiercest rivals have admitted that he is one of the best Freestylers in Germany.
Audacious and eloquent, Samy initially chose an aggressive style, based on imaginative use of metaphors, complex overlapping rhymes and his own melodic flow. He favours constructing contantly changing pictures rather than telling long stories. Critics find fault with his limited content and repetitive subjects, but Sam Semillia (as he calls himself, taken from the non-toxis form of the cannabis plant, Sinsemilia) has responded by saying that he can only rap in the style and about the subjects that feel real to him.
Starting Out:
Before working with Dynamite Deluxe he was a member of German Hip Hop group "No Nonsens". He became very well known due to his many guest appearances on the CDs put out by hip hop artists such as Freundeskreis, the Stieber Twins, Main Concept, Eins Zwo, Ferris MC, Absolute Beginner, Das Bo and 5 Sterne Deluxe. It was the latter group in particular that he performed many concerts with. He also took it upon himself to do the festivals all over Germany in order to make a name for himself.

Samy Deluxe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah
The big baus of the nauf
The big baus of the nauf, höchstpersönlich
I got it made it, the big baus of the nauf
Yeah get' em mixwell
The big baus of the nauf
The big baus of the nauf
The big baus of the nauf (oh oh oh)[x2]
The big baus of the nauf
I got it made, the big baus of the nauf
Homeboy, I got it made
Wieder so ein krasses Tape
Besser als dein Album
Ich mach' es, sag' es, ich schaff' es (hey)
Du kannst es gern lassen
Kannst hassen
Und es verpassen (hey)
Doch ich kann's nur jedem empfehlen
Dies is 'n krasses Tape
Ich sage es zweimal
Ich sage es auch dreimal
Ich bin der Baus of the Nauf
So 'ne Sprache spricht keiner
Doch ich muss es nich' übersetzen
Muss nur 'nen Beat nehmen und drüber rappen
Ich bin der Baus, du kannst nicht widersprechen
Ich heitz' hier runter im Norden
Und bombadiere euch mit hunderten Worten
Das Wunder von morgen
Ich sage die Sachen, die du sagen willst
Aber dich nich' traust
Denn ich bin der big Baus
Geb einfach 'nen Fick drauf
Laufe ein im Club und jeder gebt mir 'nen Drink aus
Denn ich bin sympathisch
Hab Charisma
Seh' so schick aus
Ich bin einfach so fly
Jetzt is alles vo'bei
Deutschlands schlimmster Alptraum
Schwarz, reich und notgeil
