(Un?)necessary Rap Wednesdays

(not so safe for workski.)

Busta Rhymes has officially lost his mutha$#%@!n mind.

Legit.

This brings dumbed-down rap and the WTF factor to a WHOLE new level.

Behold, "Arab Money"




Holy Hell.


Is BusaBus serious? Like, Really? That's the Move?

and the most interesting part? Trevor George Smith Jr is a Muslim

Now, we here at True Story don't give a damn whether anyone is Black, Green, Blue, White or Orange, or any other Titans we are trying to Remember.

No Sir, and we do appreciate classic hip-hop, ridiculous rap, and everything in between.

and hell, we're no strangers to music with middle eastern tones or inspiration, just like Busta is no stranger to making crazy music and coining ridiculous money phrases (Scrooge McDuck Paper, anyone? Try 2:10)

but, what Busta?

Dude's causing more buzz than when he shaved off his signature dreads in a video

His explanation before anyone loses their minds over this:

"It's called 'Arab Money.'...'Take the Money' or 'Arab Money'," (Busta) said before speaking on his interpretation of the song. "Sometimes, people like to twist things. We ain't mockin' the culture. we ain't tryin' to be disrespectful. Ain't no racism going on right here. If you listen to the song, you see that we are actually acknowledging the fact that the Arabian culture, a middle East culture is one of the few cultures, that value passing down hard work riches that's been built amongst the family."

"It would be nice if a lot of other cultures did the same thing. Feel me? So, I would like for it to be like that in my culture where we could build things to the point where we got so much that we don't need to rely on other cultures to contribute majorly in a financial way, or in whatever other way, to societies, communities or whatever governments we might live in. So, we are actually biggin' up the culture. At the end of the day, I want to be like that. I think a lot of us want to be like that."


Our Question:
Who the f#$^ is Ron Browz?
