Those would be two German hip hop artists; Kool Savas being a rapper and Xavier a singer..

it would translate as 10 split personalities.

actually the album is just called "Gespaltene Persönlichkeit", so just split personality. 10 was just the album's place in the ranking lol. pretty dope album though if you speak german.

Niggas -the label- be buying their own CDs at first week for the buzz and hype.

I've got a lot of catching up to do with German rap releases, but only went into literal translation at the moment when I saw it posted... :)
