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 ↴
Neuer Blockbuster für dein Kopfkino
Ich kam zu Top-Niveau zu Gott-Niveau
Von Inkognito zu "was glotzt ihr so?"
Ihr habt alle 'n Stock im Po
Ich übe ich fühle mich gerade wie Rocky, yo!
Stop, Vito! Jetzt bring den Beat wieder rein
Auf die eins, tausend Lines gerappt
Ich fahr in Urlaub, wenn
Es mir schlecht geht
Man ich brauch keine Ärzte
Ich brauche gedimmtes Licht n kleines
Bisschen bei rauchender Kerze
N Beat wie diesen
Dann beginnt's zu fließen raus
Aus meinem Herzen
Ins Mikrofon rein, ins Interface
In' Mac, gemixt, gemastered, gepresst
Aus euren Boxen in eure Ohren rein
So ein Rapper wie ich kann man nicht werden
Oh nein man muss dafür geboren sein
Ich mach aus jedem Nachteil, den
Ich hatte einen Vorteil, so geil
Ich rolle mit Hip Hop wie Robbe
Ich bin so alte Schule
Mein Sound-System ist Deluxe
Und ich mache Bambule
Ich machte blauem samt in diesem grauen Land
Bitte schau mich an
Jetzt Sammel ich die lila Scheine
Für meine prima Reime
Der beste Tag deines Lebens
Wenn ich den Kreis quadrier
Gefährliches Halbwissen
Die Pfütze des Eisbergs hier
Mit dem Blick, mit dem Blick, mit dem Blick
Durch's Fenster zum Hof
Denn dort spielt die Musik
Fick Rapper, fick Bitches und fick Fame, oh
Fick deine Couch und nenn mich Rick James
Beyonce nennt sich Sasha und
Sascha sich Dick Brave
Was ist das für eine abgefuckte
Welt in der ich leb?
Ich spit auf'm Album als wär's ein Mixtape
Das ist das Mixtape
Fast schon Klischee gerecht wie
Ich Regeln brech
Die Mädels lächeln, Typen wollen Penisfechten
Der Staat will meine Knete wegnehmen
Ich will meine Seele retten
Dies hier ist ein Epos
Deshalb muss ich wohl episch retten
Ich mach den nächsten Step
In Richtung Altersvorsorge
Indem ich rappe, mit meinem Album ermorde
Oder lass sie in Pflegebetten
Fick dein Szene treffen ich schieß scharf
Will die Hälfte der Szene treffen
Zieh ne Line
Pulverisierte Vitamin C Tabletten
Und geh dann taggen
Wahrscheinlich wird die Menschheit
Erst später checken
Ich war ein Ausnahme-Genie
In der Aufnahmekabine will was Neues wagen
Kein Gebrauchtwagen-MC - nee
So'n Herausragender Typ auf nem
Herausragenden Beat von Vito
Mein Ziehsohn SM-58-Mikro-fon wie
Oldschool ist das, alter?
Ich bin der deutsche Jigga
Dann ist das mein eigener Just Blaze
Nenn Es einzigartig wie'n Dubplay wie
Ich Reime in' Takt leg
Und das' mein Public Service Announcement
Ich bin ein Hellseher
Ich sehe voraus ihr hört auf zu bouncen
