apparently people are upset over this [apparently in the UK it has been banned and dj’s have been fired / suspended for playing it, more here]. from that i especially like the explanation from mr. rhymes that he “meant to pay homage to Arab culture.” interestingly, i read a blurb about it from dj/ ruputure where he says that the “arab/farsi/whathaveyou” looped in the chorus is actually nonsense.

i’m myself am most let down by how lame busta’s new video is, as he was responsible for this at one time:

oh how the mighty have fallen.

for the other side of the creative / interest / genre / world, check out this site for a mashup album made using only music and samples from david lynch film. haven’t listened yet, but have high hopes.
