OK! is a hip-hop song by producer Melbeatz , which features rappers Kool Savas and Samy Deluxe. The song, which was released on April 26, 2004, was also the only single release from their album Rapper's Delight . It reached number 25 on the singles charts, where it was able to stay for a total of seven weeks.
Emergence
On OK , Melbeatz brought Kool Savas and Samy Deluxe together. The background to this decision was that rumors circulated for a long time that the two rappers were enemies. Accordingly, she pursued the goal of refuting precisely these assumptions. The reason for the rumors was that Kool Savas had criticized various Hamburg hip-hop formations in the past because, in his opinion, they made hip-hop too popular.
music
In contrast to most of the other songs, Melbeatz recorded the music himself on OK . The piece is characterized by African drums, which are combined with a club- and techno- heavy synth riff. In contrast, a line of text by Kool Savas reads:
"Unfortunately I can't hear your shit like jungle and techno"
text
In the lyrics themselves, Kool Savas and Samy Deluxe present themselves as a kind of unbeatable dream duo, and accuse an unnamed audience of not having a talent for rapping:
"It's all about the two of us / You can't get past us / You can think you've got it / Think yes, I can do it too / Hope it sells / It's ok [...] Unfortunately, you're not like him, unfortunately not like me, are unfortunately not that cool, unfortunately not deluxe / All We have much, much more, you never come here, that is the level you would like to be at "
The last lines ("They say we have beef , understand this is all shit") are sung by Samy Deluxe to the tune of Aaliyah's "Try Again" from 2000.
