Peter Rosenberg Round Table: Is Arab Money Offensive?

busta rhymes

Peter Rosenberg hosted an interesting roundtable today in which he and the S.O.U.L. Purpose crew talked about Busta Rhymes' new joint, "Arab Money".  Specifically in question was the cultural correctness of the song, which some in the Arab community have found to be offensive.  Previously Busta Rhymes spoke about the song as a sign of respect to Arab culture, which he has been influenced by.  Mazzi and co. didn't put Busta's motives on blast, but did question his judgment, especially referring to the jibberish chorus and Busta's decision to put quotes from the Koran into the remix. Check it out below.

peace: for the record i am muslim, I listin t0 both version, the remix i think is more offending than the actual song, being that diddy cursed after he recited ALLAH(GOD) NAME. HUMANBEINGS ARE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THAT WICH WE KNOW IS WRONG, have knowledge of etc.as to the guest whom are muslim. depending the school of thought you follow, certain music is haram(unlawful)in closing brand nubian are my fam they follow the teaching of the 5% nation of islam, the same as busta , we as othordox muslims are suppose to lead by example! and not judge only allah can jugde, he who is free of sin, wrong doing wish for death, shoreley you would be granted paradise? lah no man is free of sin,that's why our lord is a merciful god , off forgiving god, wich of the favors of your lord will you denie? my salaam.
