<p>My good buddy <a href="http://alysonmance.wordpress.com/2008/12/09/no-no-more-ay-rab-money/" target="_blank"><strong>Sir Mance-a-lot</strong> already expressed how I feel about the song&#8217;s implications</a>, much to director <strong>Rik Cordero&#8217;s</strong> chagrin. Today we finally haterize the equally flagrant and culturally insensitive visual representation of <strong>Busta Rhymes</strong> and <strong>Ron Browz&#8217;s &#8220;Arab Money.&#8221;</strong> [pronounced AYE-rab]</p>
<p><span id="more-79912"></span><br />
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="425" height="344" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GYOmWQiVCFQ&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GYOmWQiVCFQ&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>I can&#8217;t help but wonder what actual <em>AYE-rabs</em> think of this shit. I&#8217;m actually afraid to play it in their presence even for journalistic purposes as some of the more hardcore fundamentalists get a little liberal and sloppy with the Jihad talk. Catching backlash from obscure gangsta rappers is one thing. Going balls-out <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salman_rushdie" target="_blank"><strong>Salman Rushdie</strong></a> is some whole next shit.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;Dude&#8230; You <strong>never</strong> go full-Rushdie.&#8221;</em></p></blockquote>
<p>Unfortunately, Busta and his host of <em>&#8220;a kazillion D-list rapsters&#8221;</em> have no problem doing so as they desecrate the keffiyeh by saturating it with cognac, pork rib sauce and weed smoke. You&#8217;d think <strong>DJ Khaled</strong> would intervene on behalf of his people. Instead, he secures <strong>Coon of the Year</strong> honors for his enthusiastic participation in a video that disgraces the entire fertile crescent.</p>
<p>At least we&#8217;re spared the sound of his voice for once.</p>
<p>World War III is temporarily averted as one of the cubicle monkeys at <strong>Universal Motown</strong> clearly advised these shiftless nigroes to fix the &#8220;Aye-rab&#8221; mispronunciation in the chorus. Too bad no one suggested they clean up the offensive and intentional butchery of &#8220;Aye-rab&#8221; language&#8230; and <em><strong>NOT</strong></em> cast Indian dudes as Arab princes.</p>
<p>You also can&#8217;t fool me with them Puerto Rican chicks at the door. I know a damn Puerto Rican when I see one. Them broads from Middle East <em>Harlem</em>. Fuck outta here.</p>
<p>For shame, Cordero. Someone should inform my Q-borough representative that green screen is the root of all evil. I&#8217;m pretty sure that phony backdrops and excessive Auto-Tune use will be the subject of the next highly-anticipated Al-Qaeda mixtape.</p>
<p>Either that or <strong>Ghadafi Grillz Presents: Dedication 4</strong>. You never know what&#8217;ll be available for download on <a href="http://www.datpiff.com" target="_blank">datpiff.com</a> these days.</p>
<p>If there&#8217;s any positive to be taken from this hot ghetto mess, concerned viewers should be as relieved as I am to see that <strong>Spliff Star</strong> still finds employment as Busta&#8217;s lap ferret during these trying economic times. I&#8217;m pretty sure there&#8217;s no bailout plan in the works for aging hype men, so that&#8217;s what&#8217;s up.</p>
<p><em>[<strong>Blogger's Note: </strong>There's no such plan in the works for you favorite bloggers either.]</em></p>
<p>Speaking of aging, it&#8217;s pretty fucked up watching a once-sprightly Busta Rhymes waddle laboriously around the video set like <strong>Redd Foxx</strong>. I kind of want to have him and his grandpa belly put down so I can watch the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7hJ4VzA0Yk" target="_blank"><strong>&#8220;Woo-Hah&#8221;</strong> video</a> with clear conscience.</p>
<p>Am I the only one who wonders what&#8217;s in the bags Ron Browz is shaking like <strong>Larenz Tate</strong> in <em><strong>Dead Presidents</strong></em>? When you need to remind everyone that you&#8217;re the <strong>&#8220;</p>
<p>Oh, don&#8217;t act like you don&#8217;t go in the damn corner store for an <strong>Arizona</strong> and see 7 year-old Samir holding a fuckin AK-47 doing the full-on <strong>Captain Morgan</strong> pose.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t believe they put an <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RgAHQdmL96A" target="_blank"><strong>Emperor Palpatine</strong> visage</a> of <strong>Yasser Arafat</strong> in the video to gamble with. For starters, he wouldn&#8217;t dig on the keffiyehs that reek of <strong>Pork Chops O&#8217; Chunky</strong>. Secondly, <a href="http://www.ronmexicocity.com/2008/10/xxlmagcom-neg-1.html" target="_blank">I done already told these niggas on <strong>XXL</strong></a>, <em>AYE-rab</em> money don&#8217;t fold. You can&#8217;t make it rain with oil fortunes unless there are Patriot Missiles involved. These one-flop-away-from-foreclosure record label slaves couldn&#8217;t step to the tables they Auto-Tune whine about.</p>
<p>Sigh. At least Busta actually delivers an Arabic chorus <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2zTDSVu2GM" target="_blank">on the remix</a>. I only know this to be true because he bellows the only Arabic phrase any American rapper ever knows.</p>
<p>You know, the 5AM jumpoff.</p>
<p>Questions? Comments? Requests? Think everyone in the Middle East is swimming in paper stacks? <strong>ron@ronmexicocity.com</strong></p>
<p><strong>P.S.:</strong> <strong>A-Rod</strong> money would have been a far more appropriate and safe alternative. We could have completely averted my having to jump in that ass. No nullus.</p>
<p><strong>P.P.S.:</strong> Eh, probably not.</p>

<p>Only hours after expressing his outrage over Busta Rhymes&#8217; controversial song &#8220;Arab Money,&#8221; Iraqi-born rapper The Narcicyst told AllHipHop.com that he received a personal phone call from Busta himself last night (December 8), apologizing for the misunderstanding created by the song.</p>
<p>According to Narcicyst, the two rappers spent nearly half an hour on the phone discussing Busta&#8217;s original intent in making the song, which the veteran rapper says was meant to pay homage to Arab culture.</p>
