Busta Rhymes Apologizes for 'Arab Money'

December 10 2008 19:40 PST

The Iraqi rapper The Narcicyst was outraged by Busta's new song 'Arab Money'and said recently, 'Once again, Arabs are represented as these arm flailing, oil rich, loft having, private jet taking, camel toe lady bangin', desert camel riding, bearded sand men. And to come from Hip-Hop was just disappointing. All that and the title. I started reading up on the lyrics, watching the YouTube videos and that just took my feelings to a whole other level.' The Narcicyst took the opportunity to release a response song called "The Real Arab Money". A few hours after the Narcicyst expressed his disappointment, Busta called him and spent over two hours explaining his original intent to not be offensive, but show his respect and love of Arab culture. He also apologized for the misunderstanding. By the end of the conversation, The Narcicyst agreed not to release his song. There are other ways to show some love Busta! The rapper didn't realize that although some people wouldn't be offended, others would and that maybe he should reconsider releasing something that he didn't even mean to be controversial. Hopefully he'll be more careful for his own sake next time.
