Remember when Jada said "you should do what we do, stack chips like Hebrews.."

They censored Hebrew out of the video, radio, and censored version of the album, as well as a certain number of uncensored albums.

I guess freedom of speech is limited.
I don't like the song I just think its wack..
I do think Busta should be able to say what he wants. People try to read between the lines and miss the whole damn page.

Worst part about the song is "A-Rab" which is not the proper way to pronounce that.

Freedom of speech isn't limited. Jada can say what he wants but he is also a rep of the label who can say what they want but maybe don't want to experience the backlash of those lyrics. Plus it'd be pretty stupid to get offended that Jada is saying that Jewish people save money. To me, at least wait for something negative to get offended about. Now same here with Arab Money, but according to you guys, the video is the really offensive part. And speaking of freedom of speech, Saudi Arabia has none!
 
this nukka been in a cave too damn long... j.p.
but srsly
get the fujck over it...
damn wat da ****? this nukka complaining about his culture's rich trait? i guess i need to read this ova... bah edit lata maybe
 
Busta, what have you done now?



I heard this song, and thought, you know, hmm that's seems a little racy to me, but more importantly, I thought the song was bad. Awful. Piss poor.

At least Touch It had a catchy formula, not very advanced but it stuck to you. This is a song about arabs with a horrible t-pain molestor hook.

I'm not even hating on the auto-tune! T-pain knows how to do it right, as do others, but this just sounds awful!

I put so much stock into this album, checked the wiki page every week (i'm such a nerd lol), drooled over the supposed production credits, and I get THIS?

Even from a commerical standpoint, fan mind aside, it doesn't seem to sell to me! What is the gimic? Arabs? Is that it lol?

I'm not hating....I want him to do well, because he has been my favorite rap artist for the past decade, but come on man! What is this bullsh!t! Get back on your bullsh!t, the GOOd kind!

**** it, I'm out....
 
It's pretty rare to find me nodding my head to some synthy auto-tune rap... but this sh*t knocks. It's ignorant but I know Busta didn't have any racist or hurtful intentions behind it. I'm glad I saw it along with the music video the first time I heard it, it's so damn funny, maybe I wouldn't like this as much if I had just heard it on the radio. But it's no more offensive or appalling than Jay-z saying "I had this Chinese girl, I had to leave her quick, cause she kept bootleggin my sh*t" in "Girls, Girls, Girls"
 
He didn't say a-rab he said ahrrab. At least this newer version says it anyways

Not true... The five percent nation (Nation of Gods and Earths) has little or nothing to do with Islam. Other the use of the term "Allah"

The 5 percent nation was started by a former member of the nation of Islam (which has little to do with actual islam) and borrows from both the "Moorish Science Temple" founded by Noble Drew Ali (which is the Genesis of the term "Original Asiatic Man" and the Nation of Islam which was started by Elijah Muhammad who studied at the Moorish science temple.

This is right except its was Wallace Fard Muhammad who was kicked out the Moorish temple for pretending to be the reincarnation of Noble Drew and then he created the NOI and Elijah was his student.

So its oky for me to do a song saying how americans are fast food eating cant-find-my-own-country-on-a-map type of folk because...

there are plenty of people who are basically all of those things.

right?

Sure, why not. Not being able to find-my-own-country-on-the-map isn't really a problem that most Americans have though so it would be stupid to use that as an example. The Arabs that do have money tend to have massive amounts of it, and generally get it through oil, which brings in money consistently. Besides if you hadn't noticed, the song was actually using the word Arab in a good way.

The Burj Mubarak al-Kabir, a proposed skyscraper near Kuwait City, would rise to a staggering 3,284 feet. That’s well over the half-mile mark and nearly double the height of the current *recordholder


A tower over half a mile high???


Dizzamn...

I gotta go to dubai sometime... u know about the Palm?

The funny thing about Dubai is that they build like crazy but they have a massive amount of unoccupied space in all those buildings. It really is crazy all the stuff they have made but they are wrong to think that if they just build a city people will move there. They are under a lot of Islamic laws which really just don't go with a lot of the lifestyles that people who have enough money to live there would actually live by

How can you say something in a good way when you are intentionally mispronouncing it?
 
I love the beat. I think the song is in bad taste. First listen its funny, but now it kinda irks me. Beat is bananas tho!

People with thick skin or who don't care/know about the backlash won't mind, but there's a lot of sensitive people that will hate it. I know Busta is muslim so he probably thought that would let the "gimmick" of the song slide, but it's still in bad taste. It's bad either way if Ron Browz is saying gibberish or saying actual Qu'ran passages in that accent. Just not cool.
 
...I stopped singing Arab and switched it to Swiss Alps money..I think the Swiss currency exchange is quite lovelely...my 2 cents.
 
On the topic of the building in Dubai, who want to get stuck in the elevator in that mofo? lol! On the real tho, The world is in pain. Words are cheaper than talk. If u don't like sumthin an artist make, don't listen. Complaining bout it just gone boost the amount of spins it get. And if u realy care bout the earths ills, get out there and put in some handwork.
