With American troops stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan, civilians have developed a strong fascination for Arabic/Middle Eastern culture. Known to get creative with his music, Busta Rhymes decided to take a flight to the Middle East for his first single as a Universal Motown artist, Arab Money. For those who are ready to complain about the song’s “cliché” nature, it’s really more about the Arabs than the money, as Busta lays down his bankroll alongside the Middle East’s richest man, Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud. Meanwhile, Ron Browz puts some freshness into the overused autotune effect by modifying his vocals to sound like they’re straight from his Pop Champagne studio sessions. Arab Money will create a strong buzz before Busta starts his pre-emptive strike; the B.O.M.B. (short for Back On My Bullsh*t) drops December 9.
ehhh im not real-e a fan of busta but thiz wuz aight, well kinda. i liked tha voicebox- thing- part- of thiz-song, wekk kinda....huh i dont real-e know...thiz aint real-e ma type of muzic
Wait a minute...what happened to Busta dropping "Blessed."? Did I miss something? This song is weird. Busta's flow is decent, the autotune Arab singing is more humorous than useful to the song. I'm sure it will offend some Arabians as well. Overall, I feel Busta is not bringing it like he used to and he needs to either go back to the drawing board or just hang it up for good. It's sad, cuz he's a legend. I was just bumping "What's the Scenario" earlier today "OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH!". LOL. Remember that? But this here...this really isn't cutting it for me.
ron browz is puttin in a lot of work lately touchin a lot of beats. bustas flow is always on point. good song but his joints back in the day were hotter
I know that rap is a big part of Middle East culture and 12 year olds be rollin' on Escalades and Suburbans but this shyt is wack. If those Middle Easterns heard this, i bet they would think its wack and they'd rather listen to real rap. The autotone is straight annoying. Its a 2 but I give homey Busta props for creativity
This is week. I like the concept arab money kinda cleaver. I want a more mature content from our dude Bussa bus. I liked the song he did with linkin park but this is just kinda ...
This sounds so awful to me that I didn’t get to the point of checking anything else past the horrendous hook with one more example of a BAD USE of the autotune. And the beat gets old fast: too much repetition and not much creativity!
I heard Mr. Cee playing this over the weekend when i was taking a shower and i was really feeling this joint...I have no idea what kinda jiberish Ron is singing in the chorus but busta goes perfect with this sick ass beat...I know the beat is very repetitive, the topic of the song is so cliche but something about this song just sucks me in...
After releasing "We Made It" with LP, this is a huge disappointment. Obviously, changes had to be made after Rhymes departed Interscope, but this is the best Rhymes can do? With his unique voice, energy and experience Busta Buss could have and should have come with something better. I could be wrong, and this could be a #1 record, but I will say no for now. Rotation? Sure. Impressed? No.
Well this thing (I can't call it song, it's too horrible) is unbearable to my ears...here the autotune effect is worse than ever, I have never liked Busta's flow and those repetitive little bridges (uh no wait maybe it was a hook?!) are annyoing. I'm rating this 1 with all my heart and I'm enjoying my action lol
Ps: but the beat isn't so bad
BUSTA REPRESENTS MY COMMUNITY ON THIS TRACK. The SOUND IS DOPE BUT IS WHAT HE WANTS TO REALLY PUT OUR CULTURE AND OUR VALUES AHEAD OR It IS REALLY RIGHT FOR the BISNESS.
PEACE…
