I found more of Islam's influence in the 8 Mile Soundtrack!!!

[infinite59]

Freeway: Muslim rapper, says in the track "8 Miles and Runnin"

"Make salah with my son"

Salah is the Arabic name for prayer in Islam.  Muslims pray 5 times a day.  It is the second of 5 pillars in Islam.

Rakim: Muslim rapper says in the track "R.A.K.I.M"

"Allah who I praise to the fullest"

Muslims only worship Allah.  There is no God but Allah.  He has no son or partner.  There is nothing worthy of our praise but the creator, the most high, Allah!!!

Rakim also says...

"Bismillah"

Which means, "in the name of Allah."  Muslims like to keep Allah in mind at all times throughout the day.  That is why we pray throughout the day, and that is why we say "bismillah" before everything we do.  If you say "bismillah" before you do things such as eating, then you are recognizing that the food on the table is only there because Allah created it, and everything is his, so you thank him for the blessings that he has bestowed.

[Trauma-san]

All I wanna know is, what cat was talin' about snoop's dick? LOL  That's good Rakim and Freeway promote their religion though, everybody should be as passionate about their spirituality.  

[=[Euthanasia]=]

I noticed the references in Rakim's song, they were quite obvious, but I didn't noticed the bit in the Jay-Z/Freeway song, probably 'cos I usually skip that song, I think it's quite wack   But yeah, ain't nothing wrong with pointing these things out, their not hurting anyone, if your not interested then simply don't read/reply the threads

Right now lets go thru gods influence on it.  NO. Whats the point.  You wanna be religious to fuck then thats great good for you but dont try and put all the on us.  No what I mean.  Saying he had a big influence on the album is a dumb ass comment because for al we know the man doesnt even exist.

[infinite59]

I found more!!!!

Young Zee says in his solo cut...

"On the corner sellin Final Call"

Final Call is a newspaper printed by the Nation of Islam, that was previously known as Muhammad speaks before Farakkan took the primary role of leadership in the Nation of Islam.  

[Trauma-san]

I couldn't ever figure out why those guys were tryna sell me their paper if I was the devil.  I guess the devil's money is as good as the black mans, thats' the only thing I could figure.
