Busta Apologizes for "Arab Money"

Ok this has been a topic I have taken up everytime I've heard this song, wether on the radio or in the club. From the get go I thought that it was Disrespectful for Busta to have done this song, especially with the state of the world today. But just like hiphop to soak up this contraversial track, vs any lyrical spitting tracks busta has put out in his career, eventually someone had to speak out.... Enter Iraqi Born MC Narcicyst .......

Busta Rhymes' "Arab Money" has been the subject of controversy lately, as many in the Muslim community were upset about his supposed "mocking" of the culture in the hook of the song.
Iraqi-born MC, Narcicyst, was outraged at the lack of respect he felt was discrimintaing to his culture. Hours after an interview in which he voiced his displeasure, he received a phone from none other than Busta Rhymes himself. Speaking for over 30 minutes, Busta supposedly explained how he was only paying homage to the Arab culture.

“It was a thorough explanation and he was a very respectful man,” stated Narcicyst. “He explained to me his experience as an African-American man in the States and [it] seemed to me as an experience that I can correlate as an Arab being in the Middle East and having been displaced from my nation and seeing my country being bombarded in the media, being misrepresented.”

Since the apology, Narcicyst also agreed to pull the track he was going to release titled, "The Real Arab Money", which was a response to Busta's.

“This is an example of how two people can come together and create something bigger than them,” The Narcicyst concluded. “I’m a strong believer in truth and breaking stereotypes down and not allowing people to box you in. And this whole experience has been a huge eye opener for me. This is what Hip-Hop is about. Two brothers from another mother can come to a peaceful and just conclusion for all sides.”

I still say Busta should stop the album from being played, and be a bigger man, and we should no longer request it on the radio.....

Well that's just my 2 cents...
