The name is an abbreviation that is spelled as "super-intelligentes Drogenopfer" = "super intelligent drug victim". However this is the new interpretation while originally the name did spell as "Scheisse in Dein Ohr" = "shit (goes) into your ears".
In 2004, Sido's debut album, "Maske" ("Mask"), sold more than 100,000 copies in less than a month. In September of that year, the rapper won a prestigious German music award for "Best Newcomer". The best known song from that album, "Mein Block", describes life in the Maerkisches Viertel, a ghetto-like district of Berlin.
Sido has been spurting a lot of controversies. Most of his personal information is kept under blankets, not even the personal name or birthday is being confirmed by official records. Rumours say that the stage person is fully fictitious including its alleged background in a criminal ghetto. While some of his provocative aggressive songs have been banned many fans like to interpret the lyrics as a satirical on widespread prejudices about the life in so-called "problem districts".
Ackan
Sido Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need enough money to spend, enough money to give
(Hustlin' Hustlin')
Ah, yeah
Aus'm MV in die Welt raus, ich geb Geld aus
Lederjacke von LV, in hellblau, ah
Und aus dem Schlüpper deiner Frau kannst du'n Zelt bauen
Ich geb noch immer 'n Fick drauf, wenn du hatest
Ich seh' alles positiv außer einen Aids-Test
Scheiß mal auf Beef, ich lass die Waffen im Schrank
Bin ein Erwachsener Mann, aber ich pass' mich nicht an
Nein, wir sehen die Sterne und wir greifen danach
Und weiß ich nicht mehr weiter, frag ich Jägermeister um Rat
Rapper klettern für paar Klicks den Fans noch weiter in' Arsch
Ich weiß, wer es war, er hat noch Scheiße am Bart, ih!
Wenn ich euch seh', muss ich mich fremdschämen
Fahrt in die Hölle, ihr könnt gerne meinen Benz nehm'
Ich scheiß auf dich und deine hässliche Begleitung
Komm her, mach Faxen und der Rest steht in der Zeitung, ah
Die Welt gehört mir, wenn ich groß bin
(Gotta get this money, I don't really get to sleep long)
Ich kann schlafen, wenn ich tot bin
(Work hard, stack checks, I die rich)
Denn ich muss ackern, muss ackern, ackern (No rest 'till I'm gone)
Ich muss hustlen, muss hustlen, hustlen (Ain't got no days off)
Denn ich muss ackern, muss ackern, ackern (Do work and get paid)
(Watch my bank roll, my paper don't fade)
Yo, champion with a Jordan jersey, some vintage
You know I'm kitted, ain't kiddin'
With none of these dudes, I'm wicked, ah
Sick with it like ?, I'm paid full
My name rules, King Cooper, I brain doom, boom
Can't clap that, your rhymes wack, my lines fat
Can't grasp the concept, y'all still bledding and I'm fresh
Knuckle up and bust them if they pop the combat
What is born, I kill 'em, yo, it's hidden in the contract
Gods define that, define Rap, Sido sus
Coop Killer, Hercules, one track no contest
Extraterrestrial contact from the bong hits
Candy kush strong, get 'em high, just off the contact
Jeet Kune Do like Bruce Lee flow
Wing Chun, freekick, go, don't miss no free throw, wow
Gotta get to work, no sleep until I'm in the coffin
Sido, Cooper, rad, if you're not on the team, you not important
Die Welt gehört mir, wenn ich groß bin
(Gotta get this money, I don't really get to sleep long)
Ich kann schlafen, wenn ich tot bin
(Work hard, stack checks, I die rich)
Denn ich muss ackern, muss ackern, ackern (No rest 'till I'm gone)
Ich muss hustlen, muss hustlen, hustlen (Ain't got no days off)
Denn ich muss ackern, muss ackern, ackern (Do work and get paid)
(Watch my bank roll, my paper don't fade)
Yup, gotta get this money, cash is realler, count the Benjis
Throwin' hunnids on the floor
I tell 'em "Pick 'em up" like shippers, ah
Cooper killer like a young Bruce Wayne
Young playboys, they be getting that fame
Went to Berlin with a badass sound
Am I really going fine, I ain't know her name
Last night I was getting so faded with my Nikes on
Siggi got blessed and made three stepping like an icon
Any time we rockin' they taking face like Nikon
Tryna get a glimpse and make a memory that's life long
Jetzt wird wieder in die Hände gespuckt
Jetzt wird geackert und die Zeit bis zur Rente genutzt
Also schlaf nicht ein, steh auf, das Hartz reicht nicht aus
Drum haste auch schon wieder keinen Fahrschein gekauft
Huh, du bist ein brokeass motherfucker
Und ich kann haben, was ich träume, weil ich acker, acker
Aus Blut und Schweiß werden Scheine gemacht
Ich will 'ne eigene Yacht und darum bleibe ich wach
Die Welt gehört mir, wenn ich groß bin
(Gotta get this money, I don't really get to sleep long)
Ich kann schlafen, wenn ich tot bin
(Work hard, stack checks, I die rich)
Denn ich muss ackern, muss ackern, ackern (No rest 'till I'm gone)
Ich muss hustlen, muss hustlen, hustlen (Ain't got no days off)
Denn ich muss ackern, muss ackern, ackern (Do work and get paid)

From the MV (The block he used to live in) into the world :
I'm spendin'money
Leather jacket by LV
In ligjt blue
Charlotte loves me buying her clothes
While you could build a tent from your wifes underwear
Still not giving any fucks when you're hatin'
Cause for me everything is positive except for an AIDS-teyt
Fuck beef, keep the guns down
I'm a grown man who doesn't adapt but whenever is clueless asks Jägermeister for advice...
Mahoxx One
Der Beat ist unfassbar krank, ich habe den Track heute erst entdeckt. Auch im Jahre 2022 ein brutales Brett.
2 Takt
Bei mir das gleiche, unfassbar wie gut seine Musik eigentlich ist. Zeitlos
