Raekwon's Tribute To Osama

[Lex Diamonds]

So Rae from Wu-Tang is releasing a song about bin Laden... it includes the line "A war hero legend for the Muslims, 'by any means', reminds me of Farrakhan, Malcolm and King".

Controversial? This (http://www.zshare.net/audio/897037888e3a417a/) is just a snippet, maybe the full version will be a "rise and fall" story type thing... that's my guess anyway. An all out supportive track would fuck Rae's career up in a lot of circles.

I'm interested to hear the whole thing. Rae is on point with the storytelling and the beat is nice too.

[dugmatics]

Well, he is muslim and it's not like he hasn't been rapping about thugs his whole life. Natural progression.

[kaiser soze]

Osama reminds him of King?

Any self respecting minority would denounce that statement.

Just like most "thug" rappers - lives in a fantasy world while his fans die in the real world.

[checkyourprez]

I've paid for raes albums and support him as an artist but if that song doesn't take a turn after those lyrics to something more sensible he's never getting anymore money from me.

For real tho for rae to support someone who if allowed would have ruined the US economy...one that he predominantly depends on for his income, is retarded beyond comprehension.

Just bc your a muslim doesn't mean you support a mass murdering terrorist. Just like because I'm a white american I don't support the grand wizard of the KKK. Comparing king to bin laden is offensive as fuck to the great dr.

[Burnout18]

wow

if i was a muslim i would have spent the past decade seperating myself from extremists.... this idiot goes and praises him.

my sentiments match checkyourprez's

i'm not clear on what a war hero legend for muslims has to do with a christian pacifist

some black americans think islam is cool because its not the white mans religion.

im not sure im supposed to be taking this literally or sarcastically. what it do brother mxy?

[dugmatics]

I think all the coke he's done has really affected him.
I wonder if there's any chance he'll pull the song. I'm sure he'll realize how stupid it is.

[Schmeltz]

I wouldn't have thought the Five Percent Nation would be down with Wahabbism. Seems very out of alignment. I bet Chef doesn't follow through with it.

[Planetary]

OMG LOL I LOVE AMERICA LOL?

[pshabi]

OMG LOL I LOVE AMERICA LOL?

WTF is this shit supposed to mean?

[Lex Diamonds]

^ LOL @ this bitch catching feelings. :D

Have y'all forgotten this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WA_xXWSXyFI)? Rae's not doing anything new, it's just interesting to see how far he goes in regard to pro-bin Laden sentiments. I know he's not dumb and the song will have an anti-terrorist message overall. Dude is doing tracks with the Bieber these days, he aint going in on no PLO Style terrorist steez anymore. The Chef's dough aint thick enough for that.

Suck a dick, Padster. I'm sure it wouldn't be the first time. Perfect your gift.

Celebrate the destruction of innocent lives by some psycho fuck and then act like the outrage has something to do with patriotism. Hate is great.

[kaiser soze]

He just tossed in King to stir up trouble for the wannabe gangbangers

I have two words for those who think this shit is hard

ICE T & ICE CUBE

You're talking bout the millions of people Bush murdered and the US celebrations of Osama's death, right?

[kaiser soze]

but nobody is rapping nor praising what bush did (well around these parts)

to quote Billy Danz

Look if I was in a position of giving us faith (Listen)
Osama Bin Laden would have been shot in his face (Missing)
Like every life he destroy in the World Trade
I ain't got no patients for the faggot less great

to quote Ghostface from Rules

Who the fuck knocked our buildings down?
Who the man behind the World Trade massacres, step up now
Where the four planes at huh is you insane bitch?
Fly that shit over my hood and get blown to bits!
No disrespect, that's where I rest my head
I understand you gotta rest yours true, nigga my people's dead
America, together we stand, divided we fall
Mr. Bush sit down, I'm in charge of the war!

Bin Laden's was an unprovoked terrorist attack. Bush was a complete moron and I never supported any military campaign of his, other than the hunt for Bin Laden. The celebrations made me uneasy, for sure, but I don't know if I can blame anybody for it.

Still no comparison.

osama started it.

[kaiser soze]

no - you can't blame osama for Iraq

bin laden and saddam were not allies, friends, nor connected in any way. The Iraq invasion was perpetuated by bush and his administration, long standing cabinet heads for the republicans up until this last election with decades worth of history with Iraq.

Blaming bin laden absolves any wrongdoing by bushes administration - even if they will never be held responsible by our country or the world.

it's a shame

[Micodin]

Suck a dick, Padster.

Well said.
