Busta Rhymes & Diddy On the Set Of The Arab Money Remix(Is Arab Money Offensive?)
Is saying, “Arab Money,” really an offensive thing? He is basically saying, “Arab Money,” equals a high level of wealth so where is the insult?

Arab money itself isn’t offensive, but using verses from the Quran in a clubsong isnt right.
Personally I don’t feel offended by it but still…
song is aight tho!

I thought people were offended by the way they pronounced Arab. They say A-rab. Could be wrong but I don’t like the song either way

@4 ..Yeah Me Too, I Heard “Arab” Is Offensive..It’s Basically Like Callin Us “Nigger” ..So I Was Told ..

They say A-rab(the pronunciation of it) is a racial slur…almost equivalent to nigger….the people are called Arab(Air-rub)…not (Ay-Rab)…Im pretty sure Busta knows that too…but he prolly went with the racial slur for shock value and attention

“Is saying, “Arab Money,” really an offensive thing? He is basically saying, “Arab Money,” equals a high level of wealth so where is the insult?”
The insult is: Most arab countries are really poor. In Afghanistan 2/3 of the population live on under 2$ a day (only 15% of the women can read but that’s a different story).
So what he really means must be “oil shiek money” or something. So why doesn’t he say that?

Muslims take their religion very serious, and Busta of all people should know that. Being that he actually took verses from the Quran for this remix, that’s blasphemy. But I guess people would do anything for a dollar nowadays. Plus…I dare that nigga to call an Arab an Ay-Rab to his face…Nigga shouldnt call someone something that he can’t say to them personally. And its not about fear…its just a matter of respect.

dj khaled sayin “we the bessst nig ga” is offensive to me… So more than likely people of arabic decent wil find the a rab ting equally offensive…
But its a minor stil, the track is alot…

It’s offensive because they are using religious verses of the Qur’an to promote a materialistic and repulsive culture – Busta may be Muslim but he’s insulting Muslims by writing stupid verses and trying to connect with spiritual Islamic verses.

THE ORIGINLAL SONG IS NOT OFFENSIVE
THE REMIX IS VERY OFFENSIVE
THE HOOK USES RELIGOUS VERSES WHICH IS NOT A GOOD LOOK BUST!
I URGE HIM 2 CHANGE THAT SHIT UPP BACK TO THE ORIGINAL

Yea that shit is pretty offensive.
the way they pronounce arabs is like calling a black man a nigger. Plus the whole using religious verse of the Qur’an

It is not offensive. what is offensive, people are always angry of something if Busta did not that and a unknown rapper did it who will cares? In my opinion it’s just music. You love it or hate it. But don’t use religion as a motive…..Just my iponion…

I’m a Muslim, and it does not offend me. Those who get offended are just a little too sensitive.
December 9th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
This is defenitly insulting…i am a muslim lets confirm that and it is a Sin to use Verses frm the Quran in a song where they brag about their money and they making profit out of it plus it doesnt matter if a known person or an unknown person said it…it would be equally insulting he needs to apologize!!!
