that dmx interview was golden."When you see so many CEO's getting bailed out, you realize that rich is the new broke."so if we follow this, along with the great saying that "30 is the new 20," would that make someone like me a modern day oliver twist or something?
No, because you're not trying to get rich, you're building wealth! See the difference... yeah, me neither.
"With this album, we're gonna be talking about shit that we all have the opportunity to pay attention to... because we're all looking at the same shit..."I defy anyone to a) crack this beautifully circular logic or b) tell me what the FUCK he's talking about, and how "Arab Money" fits into the Busta Rhymes Dionne Warwick Psychic-Via-Single Hotline.When exactly did his Terminator 3 scenario from the "ELE" intro come true...? And did he fuck Janet Jackson yet? Still can't front, though; the song is retarded catchy. Like bird-flu catchy (not the MIA song... '20 Dollar' is my shit when it comes to MIA).
The problem with his characterization of the song, though, is that he's trying to say it's a heartfelt tribute to a beautiful culture, but if he had ACTUALLY made what he's talking about, we'd all be dissing it as some gay-ass track and asking aloud if Busta has a closet fetish for men in robes.There's also a very Karl Rove-ian aspect to the way he just sort of skips over the Arafat reference and the moderately-terrorist imagery. Perhaps a combination of Rove-ian political machination and a dash of Mel Gibson trying to explain his slur against Jews by saying he was drunk."See, what I MEANT by security on camelback was..."
What I think he means is that, like, in the past he talked about shit that no one was paying attention to, but right now we're all paying attention to the shit he's going to be rapping about (namely the economy). Of course, this all requires you to believe that when he raps about going golfing in Dubai, it's really some kind of oblique commentary on the recession and the relative merits of wealth and rich.
Actually, the more I listen to it, the more it sounds like he was puffing L's the night before while watching Chris Rock and then tried to explain the song while incorporating Rock's "rich vs. wealth" bit... only without the Shaq jokes... or any cogent political commentary.
