Bush writes the script that you live by. You live according to how he has defined the world. ...By the way, I edited my post above and added the meaning to the title of the track, "Insh-Allah".. it's a common phrase Muslims use that means "If Allah Wills It".
Islam has been a spiritual and political force within communities of color in the United States since at least the 1800's when the Nation of Islam gained national attention under the dynamic leadership of Malcom X. Little wonder then that so many hip hop artists conscious hip hop artists who see their music as a tool for political and social change, have embraced Islam. A short list needing extension of Muslim rappers: Mos Def, Paris, Common, Q-Tip, Lupe Fiasco, and Jurassic 5.The Nation of Gods and Earths gained a significant presence in hip hop with the emergence of the Wu-Tang Clan. All nine members, and several affiliates, are affiliated with the nation, as are other artists such as; Eric B. and Rakim, Jadakiss, and Big Daddy Kane. Lord Jamar, Brand Nubian member, released a 2006 album entitled The 5% Album. Islam has had a profound affect on the conception of hip hop because a large amount of rappers throughout rap's history have been Muslim. Most of these MCs are also peaceful and passive. However, the fact that both violence and Islam are related to hip hop has associated the two by proximity.
i think (it was pretty obvious) that he/she was being sarcastic. i, and possibly everyone on this board makes desicions based upon their own opinions, not because someone tells us to. i will happily listen to a muslim rapper if they have something good to say, like i would with any religion whether it be Christianity, Buddisht, whatever. but i am not focused on a persons religion as to whether i will listen to them. same goes for a person i meet in real life. i could care less if they were a Muslim, it would not sway me into love or hate either way.
