Busta Rhymes Accused of Mixing Koran Into new Single, Branded Racist in Britain, DJs Suspended for Playing it on Radio.....

Wicky-Wicky-Wack...

Radio station Galaxy FM has suspended two broadcasters for playing a controversial new song which some claim is offensive.

The title of Busta Rhymes' single Arab Money has been branded racist and the rapper is accused of mixing up elements of the Koran.

The song has barely been aired in the UK for fear of upsetting listeners.

And Galaxy confirmed "a number" of complaints were received when it was played in Birmingham and Yorkshire on Saturday night. (two heavily Muslim areas -ed.)

Busta Rhymes - real name Trevor Smith - insists he is "biggin' up" Arab culture.

But Galaxy's spokesman apologised for any offence caused by the track and said: "Both the DJ and producer have been suspended pending a full inquiry."

Omg that's too funny. I'm siding with Busta on this one, not only against the religious primates who are offended, but also against the politically correct fascists who are preemptively offended on their behalf.

Flipmode. Wonder what that is other than jiggy neck bling?

See you one the flip mode, Mohamed.

HAHA. I had the tape!

The tats on the left arm are good, the ones on the right, not. I dig the wife-beater tee, that's cool. The jewelry? Not my style, but it's show biz. The music? Music related to Islam causes an uproar of protest, but murder in Mumbai related to Islam does not. That's all you need to know.

Props to Busta Rhymes. I wish him well and I am on his side.

I suppose he'll be given a death fatwa for this grave offense.

Yorkshire isn't a city, it is a county.

And if this were Christianity and the Bible he was slandering, all would be well. His trash would still be played and he would still be making money. But he chose to attack Islam so all is cool.

[Artie]

Excuse me - I meant to say instead of all is cool, that attacking Christianity IS cool.

Dumb "song." But what the hey, Busta's gettin' A-rab money. As for the Muslims, shucks, they'll riot over over not being able to wash after a fart.

Yorkshire is not a city - it's a county, with a number of large cities including Leeds (>400K), Sheffield (>500K) and York (>180K)...

What doesn't offend Muslims these days??????

A just punishment for the "politically correct" crowd would be for them to have to listen to "crap" - oops, I mean "rap" music (?) 24/7.

BTW- the difference between a radical Muslim and a moderate Muslim is that the radical will cut your head off while the moderate will only applaud the act.

"Yorkshire is not a city - it's a county"

I'm glad somebody noticed...... hehehe.

"the rapper is accused of mixing up elements of the Koran."

So? Hate speech in the mosques are ok but this isnt?

[Dangelooo]

"Bismillah ir-Rahman ir-Rahim, Alhumdulillahi Rabil A’lameen, We gettin' Arab Money, We gettin' Arab Money" is the actual chorus. It's Arabic and means: Praise be to God (Allah), Lord of the Worlds, The beneficial, the merciful.

The supposed verses ?
I don't hear that in his video

Listen to the remix stupid!
