no. NO more ay-rab money.

i commented before on Busta Rhymes’ “Arab Money” performance a few months ago, but when i saw the actual video, i almost threw up in my mouth.

the chorus is fucked, the video is fucked, and no one seems to take into account the fact that, if this was the other way around, folks would be rioting. I dare someone to make a “Nigger Money” video and see if they don’t die.

perhaps one could say it’s a veiled compliment, as in, Arabs have a lot of money, so i’m really bigging them up cause i want to be like them. But you’re still fucking with religion and race, so that argument doesn’t have much weight. And one also knows good and damn well an artist would have to call on the most picked-on race of the year to make a hit song without repercussion, because “Jew Paper” would never fly.

i get it, i sound like a hater, but fair is fair. At the end of the day, we all know that if a less-popular rapper, or anyone else of another race, made a song using the derogatory phrasing for another race with a chorus that sounds like mock chanting, Al Sharpton and whoeverthehell else would be trying to get those fools put in jail.

Rik Cordero produced the video. Isn’t he filipino? So if Busta was like, “yo son, i need you to produce a video for my new single, ‘Chinese Wetback Bling,’” you think he’d say yes? Just wondering.

i still love busta and will buy all his albums, but damn, son. You know that was completely unnecessary. I’m half hoping some Arabs band together in protest just to prove a point.
