Busta’s, “Arab Money” Gets DJ Suspended?!?!?
December 3rd, 2008
Arab Money causes trouble for UK DJ????
Now I know a couple of people have been ridiculing the tune for its harsh gestures towards the Islamic culture, but what happened over in the UK just might make its way over to the states. Word to the Mirror in UK, a DJ has been suspended for spinning Busta’s hit tune, “Arab Money”. Galaxy FM, a radio station which broadcasts in Birmingham and Yorkshire, suspended resident DJ, Steve “Smooth” Sutherland, after receiving a number of complaints after the song was aired.
A spokesman from the station said, “Both the DJ and producer have been suspended pending a full inquiry.” Aint that some ISH???? Look what you did, BUSTA!!!! SMH
Watch out U.S. DJ’s, you know this could trickle down to you guys SOON ENOUGH!
What do you guys think???? Is “Arab Money” too offensive to be playing on public airwaves????
Low “Are You Happy Busta???????” Key
Sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me? The world is not Black and White. Although understand that some words can cut the soul.
arabs do got alot of money though.
I’m a firm believer in being able to say whatever you want to say. Plus, I’m sure Busta wasn’t writing the song thinking, “Hey, in the middle of all this turmoil over seas, I should make a song that would cause people to view me as unamerican (the very country that made me rich).” Besides, rappers have done the metaphor “Mike Jack”, “Bill Gates”, and “Donald Trump” money to death. Quit acting like yall don’t see those 24 karat gold bangles on they wrist when you go to the corner store; they do have money. I wouldn’t mind having some Arab money.
The reason why Arabs are upset about this song isnt because of the name its because of the chorus which uses some words from the Quran. In Islam it is prohibited to sing the words of the Quran in song, so its technically mocking their religion. Do your reasearch!
Man I wish arab money was Brotha money cause you could make a song about me anyday!
yo stop we blacks have been going through this for a while so suck it up if he didnt direct it twords u dont take it to heart. how r we going have freedom of speech if people are taking thins to heart
