Background
Kool Savas and Eko Fresh began to dispute in 2002, shortly before Eko Fresh left Optik Records. In 2004, Eko Fresh released the diss "Die Abrechnung", where his main target is Kool Savas, but he also attacked his former labelmates and other rappers. In the verse against Kool Savas Eko Fresh became very personal and accused his former colleague of being jealous of his fame.
50 Cent had a short cameo in the opening with the words, attacking Eko Fresh and his label: "Ey yo whats up. It's the kid 50 Cent. You are now tuned in to my man Kool Savas. Optik Boom. Destroy the German Dream, ya heard? G-G-G-G-G-Unit".[2]
Style
A characteristic and exceptional feature of the song is the fact that it has no chorus. It is only one verse that lasts five minutes. For this reason Kool Savas stated he was usually getting too exhausted while rapping this song. Also because he was willing to drop the feud, he decided to not/occasionally perform the song on stage.[3]
Kool Savas performed the song on MTV TRL.[4]
Music video
The video features a mocking look-a-like Eko Fresh. It starts with Eko Fresh walking in a forest and suddenly discovers a grave, which carries the dates of his careers beginning and ending. He runs through the forest to escape, but he crossed Kool Savas way, who drives a Chrysler 300 C. Then Kool Savas climed out of his car and put Eko Fresh in trunk. In the next shoot pulls Savas the crawling Eko Fresh with a big chain to a grave field and forces him to grub his own. After Eko finished he laid into the coffin and Savas closed it.
