Artistry

edit

Music style

edit

Sagopa Kajmer is a rap music artist. He started his career under the name Silahsız Kuvvet and later used elements of Anatolian melodies and türküs in his songs.[16] Although he initially used curse words in the album Sagopa Kajmer, he later refrained from using them later in his career.[10] He also performed his songs in a tone different than his actual voice to not become famous.[9][66] His voice is thought to be of Arabesque style.[16][67] In his 2003 album, Romantizma, there are far more love themes than his previous works.[10][16]

Influences

edit

Run-DMC's music was influential in forming Kajmer's rap music.[10] He said that he was influenced by the works of Omar Khayyam, Ferdowsi and Rumi.[10] In an interview with Pembe Newspaper, he said: "When I was little I thought I was Jam Master Jay from Run-DMC. LL Cool J and Fat Boys are also very important names. I got my influence from them."[68] The artist's style change and beard gave rise to the rumors that he was influenced by the philosophy of Ahmet Mahmut Ünlü.[69] The artist, however, firmly denied these allegations and said that it was only after reading a hadith that he decided to let his beard grow.[70]

Meaning of Sagopa Kajmer

edit

Yunus Özyavuz explains the meaning of Sagopa Kajmer with these words:

It's an ancient pyramid in Egypt... and the one who's looking for it is Kajmer. So, the one who's trying to look for something or solve it is trying to find his Sagopa's like Kajmer... one who solves his issues.[71]

On Beyazıt Öztürk and Meral Okay's program Nasıl Yani he said:

A scientist doing research in pyramids in Egypt... all the coordination inside is written in hieroglyph, and then he loses his life during his search. Scientists who came after him discovered that the man who originally found the pyramid, as they read from the papyrus, was a man named Kajmer who discovered the Pyramid of Sagopa. I read this article in my college years.[72]

On 17 November 2015, in response to Mesut Yar's question "What does it mean?" he said:

Mystery ... There is also a tree named Sago in Thailand. A nice palm type. Kajmer means child. Troubled child... This is also of a bit of eastern origin in Avesta.[73]

Personal life

edit

His mother is Serpil Özyavuz, and his father is Mehmet Özyavuz.[14] He also has a brother named Emre Özyavuz.[74] He is a graduate of Persian language and literature from Istanbul University.[12] On 1 August 2006, he married fellow rapper Esen Güler (known as Kolera).[75] On 20 November 2017, they announced on their Instagram accounts that they had divorced after 11 years of marriage.[76][77] In May 2018, in response to one of his followers on social media who asked "what is your religious belief" he said "I have no religious beliefs".[78]

His mother, Serpil Özyavuz, died on June 2, 2024 due to lung cancer.

Illegal drug use

edit

On 18 July 2013, Özyavuz was taken into custody for allegedly ordering marijuana seeds from the UK. According to reports, Özyavuz went to a post office to pick up an order sent from England. A post office staff member called the police after becoming suspicious of the package which contained 100 DVDs in 5 DVD cases and when Özyavuz realized that police were informed, he fled the scene and went home.[79][80] Responding to claims on his Twitter account, Özyavuz stated that he ordered carnivorous plants and many tropical plant seeds without reading the customs law and asked his fans to not believe "rumors" about him, also stating that he had no bad intentions, he said, "If what I did constitutes a crime, I regret it."[81][82]

Units from the Istanbul Customs Enforcement Directorate seized the package and raided Özyavuz's house with permission from the Istanbul Chief Public Prosecutor's Office.[83] The teams who examined the packages found a total of 560 grams of cannabis plants out of 5 DVD cases.[84] He was taken into custody and a lawsuit was filed against him with the demand of imprisonment from 5 years to 15 years for "trafficking or supplying drugs or stimulants" and from 1 year to 2 years for "using drugs" by the Bakırköy Chief Public Prosecutor's Office.[84][82] He was later brought to the Haseki Research and Training Hospital for a health check to then be taken to Bakırköy Courthouse and released shortly after on judicial controls.[85] As a result, Özyavuz was banned from leaving the country.[85]

Awards and nominations

edit

In 2002, Sagopa won the best DJ award of 2001. In the following year he won the Best DJ award again, however he refused to attend the awards night. The organisation claimed Sagopa criticised such organisations, however it might be due to Sagopa's friendship with Fuat Ergin, who was hostile to Barikat, the rap group that organised the organisation of that year.

In 20th April 2005, during the last day of the famous Karabiber Tour in Sakarya, Sagopa won several awards thay day; 'Best Male Rap/Hip-Hop Artist of 2004', 'Best DJ of 2004', 'Best Album of 2004' and 'Best Song of 2004', his then girlfriend Kolera also won the 'Best Female Rap/Hip-Hop Artist of 2004'.[86]

In 11 May 2006, at Kral TV Video Music Awards, the music video for his song "Vasiyet" was awarded for the best music video. He was also nominated as the Best Turkish Act at the 2008 MTV Europe Music Awards.[87] His mutual album with Kolera Bendeki Sen, was nominated as the best album at TRT Music Awards with the votes of people.[30]
