Behind The Scenes: "Arab Money"

As I'm sure many of you are familiar, Busta Rhymes new single featuring Ron Browz has been stirring up a lot of controversy right here in the states and even abroad. Most recently, two radio DJ's were suspended from their jobs in the UK for playing the song which many UK radio stations are already refusing the spin.

Why all of the uproar? Well, lthough the hook, “Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim, Alhumdulillahi Rabil A’lameen,” which translates to “Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, The beneficial, the merciful” is pretty tame; when mixed with little gems such as, “sick big dick, knockin cameltoe bitches.” Things get a little dicy. Of course Busta claims he means no harm and is just "biggin' up" arabs and their money.

Well said. Anyway, check out some racist vocoder madness below.
