But let a middle eastern rapper say anything close to that and all hell will break loose. notice i said middle eastern cuz even if they're not muslims they'll still get labeled as that. im sure FBI and CIA are listening closely to all these middle eastern rappers.

how many black American rappers have ever orchestrated terror attacks to destroy innocent civilian life in the name of Islam?
how many black American rappers middle eastern men have ever orchestrated terror attacks to destroy innocent civilian life in the name of Islam?
I hope for the sake of spreading good hip hop the FBI and CIA aren't listening to some self important, douche bag middle eastern rappers whining about this and that.

its funny when people judge middle eastern people, should we judge ALL christians and blacks for some of the stuff their people have done?
are all black people in jail or criminals?
u can say most criminals in america are CHRISTIAN...does the christian faith get anything for that?

hip hop in general ain't got shit to do with islam. every other song is about fat bank accounts, fine ass white bitches, champagne drinkin and high livin. remember cube and ren trying to change they shit and they couldn't even do it. nobody is gonna buy that shit nigga. ren even gave khalid muhammad his own tracc on the villain in black and niggas laughed in his face. nobody wants to hear you praise allah nigga.
Anunikke:
I might be a wu-fan but isn't it obvious the 5 percenters are the strongest religious influence in hip-hop?

These days hip-hop may not have much to do with Islam in general, but back in the 80's when they were laying down the foundations of hip-hop culture, Islam was an integral part of the movement. In the Zulu Nation you have Afrika Islam he is one of the biggest pioneers, and the 5% movement was huge in New York at the time the pioneers were laying down hip-hop's foundation. Because back then hip-hop was more about the struggle, and it had an anti-imperialist, pro-black agenda, and it was only natural that they identified with Islam as it represented the anti-thesis to white-Christianity.
I still have a collectors item from the early 90's it is a Source magazine, and on the cover are Muslim rap artists and it's all about Islam's influence in hip-hop. They held a forum with orthodox Muslims, NOI, and 5 percenters and they all came together to talk about the differences amongst the sects, and how important it was to them to give a positive message and speak about Islam in their music and it's role in hip-hop. I'm going to try to post a picture of that cover.
