@ m3ntoZ you're a sickening bastard for that "chicken" slur. Your comment was fine without that, but you had to show your true identity. Ya just simply COULD NOT hide it. SMH

[alpha493]

[ToobaAli123]

What a simple yet powerful message, the world needs more people who understand each other rather than hate without reason.

This is too good, please keep 'em comin'!

[dudefromtheearth]

Nice video man!

[TheNCMusicChannel]

This real music! 

[ladybruno87]

This is an awesome video! Keep up the good work. *Thumbs up*

[GurlCaa]

Stephen Kawalit is a dope emcee.

[islandmuffin]

Proclaiming victimization status is divisive (if not hate-filled) rhetoric :-(

[daballinalex]

1 person didnt understand....

haha i just wanted to say that, good song, good video, good message man

-Alex

[islandmuffin]

@daballinalex This song promotes racism (and hatred) because he points his self=proclaimed victim finger at the “pink-faced master.”

Only those (fringe failures and underachievers) who perceive the world from a racial Marxist oppression / victimization point of view would agree with this vile rhetoric.

Do you understand I am the victim of you?

[daballinalex]

@islandmuffin wtf? i know good and well you did not just label me a "failure & underacheiver". He not promoting no fucking racism. The only reason why im using profanity is because what you tryna say is some bullshit! Dont come at me like that, you dont know me. This is a good message because people have to "understand" that people are different. Be tolerant and appreciative of others difference. You aint no dam victim of me, you the one attacking me with your bullshit! Get that shit outta here!

[daballinalex]

@islandmuffin promoting racism oh my goodness you needa check yourself. Everyone has felt their pain here in America. He didnt say nothing about this country but spoke to this society and the world. You needa understand and dont try to sound all intelligent "vile rhetoric". You are not us and you are not me. We grew up differently and i can relate to this song. You can too if you deeply think about it but if thats how you feel then i understand i dont blame you, however please be open minded.

[islandmuffin]

@daballinalex Open minded thinkers can see beyond victim-oppressor dogma: All failures & cowards use their list of grievances to justify their hatred. Proclaiming victimization status is not an excuse for propagating divisive rhetoric. I understand racist overtones, whether you feel oppressed (or justified in your odium) or not. If it makes you feel better to name call, finger point and demand racial-Marxist reparations, you are part of the problem. Understand?

[daballinalex]

@islandmuffin oh my goodness do you know what your saying? You need Jesus in your life. I cant deal with you, i have too much to say. Have a blessed week and God bless.

-Alex

[marvolomethod]

this song is GREAT im a big hater of racism and ignorance.

[Togala]

You cant say anything bad about this. Under the radar, cultural, brand new and with an old school smooth sounding beat... I love it

[ZigTheFootKing]

[702CitY]

What an amazing song. I can say so much more about this track but I hate to drag on :)

[muzikintellect]

This song has such a powerful message! I love it!

[ArbyWanKenobi]

This video fails to properly capture the emotion inthis song.

[tasha82charmin]

Besque voice mad sexy.

[chauts1234]

Love this track

[carle16100]

It sounds like my best friend

[aferrrz]

i love this.

[KnightCrawler2]

Hey what about all the white ppl!? ;)

[m3ntoZ]

I would much rather bob my head to this than something about hoes, weed, guns, and chicken.

[KnightCrawler2]

@m3ntoZ ll chicken!

[psp271seb3]

@m3ntoZ whats wrong with weed ?

but with the rest yeah absolutely right, rap with brain and not with guns.

That's what I prefer.

[islandmuffin]

@m3ntoZ Why is it better bob your head to the self-deluded dogma coming from a divisive racial Marxist rather than a message from an honest misogynist?

But I do agree about the chicken. 

[TheTHINNERALBUM]

@m3ntoZ Well said! Well said. It is hard for an artist making "clean" music. Lord knows we need music that makes us feel good by raising the bar on ethics.

[shoespeak]

Paris86France is right, what the religion teaches and what the teachers of that religion say "are right" are usually pretty different. Power corrupts everyone ,no matter who you are, and being in charge of a religion is a lot of power. You always have to be wary of organized religion, no matter what religion it is. I am religious but I reject organized religion because there is just way too much room for individuals to inject their own thoughts; if that is done purposely or not is immaterial.

[ghostfacekilla11]

What a sick shirt, anyone know where i can order that shirt?

[Paris86France]

big up besque master of discussion

@BenEvolent1988 don't get religion confused with the assholes who skew it. I don't think besque is framing islam as an "oppressive religion" but shitting on irans leaders for smothering a people and saying its gods will. the example besque used is a problem in the persian community here in france. hes bang on.

[BenEvolent1988]

@Paris86France

As far as I understand the lyrics the story seems to be about an Islamic woman who goes to America and dies from AIDS due to becoming promiscuous and ignoring the strict interaction prohibitions of Islam. i. e. being promiscuous and abandoning Islam causes her to fall into debauchery and contract a fatal disease as some sort of divine retribution for her "sins". Is my interpretation wrong?

[ChazSupreme]

@BenEvolent1988 That's right for one of the people. The girl didn't want to be seen as someone to start war because of her religion so she does "normal stuff" and ends up with AIDS and dies. I love the storytelling in this, it's funky!

[BenEvolent1988]

@ChazSupreme

And you don't have a problem with that? If god does exist I do not think he is petty enough to kill us for being promiscuous.

If there is anything positive to take out of this story it is that suppressing people and denying them education leads them to make bad choices when they gain personal freedom.

[ChazSupreme]

@BenEvolent1988 I all open for other people's beliefs and morals, which is why I choose not to discuss religion. But you're right.

[BenEvolent1988]

I like how in that bit about the Muslim woman you imply that abandoning her oppressive religion leads to debauchery and death. Or am I misunderstanding?

[DoGoodFam]

@blahturion64 word!

[mhzx10khzfmam2]

saw this beat on much vibe, love it

[crazydancefly]

finally a song which expresses real problems!!!not about butts,drugs,money and chicks! arabesque <3

[Imanmosh]

Congratulations Arabesque; very nice video/song, but i disagree with u, America has a lot to offer

[tasha82charmin]

@Imanmosh when did he say it didn't?

[mkuinones]

we need besque d sisive and shad tour

[Paris86France]

"Welcome to America a teen named Leila, judge by the Sha now judge by her Bra, in her native Iran this was the Law, but here Allah is a fashion faux pas"

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAP! You are a mad man homie.

[Solja2010]

BIGUPP TRINIDAD & SRI LANKA!

[Zersenai]

Amazing.

This guy never lets me down.

[RaymonHannah]

Hi I'd like to look into booking Arabesque for a campus tour. College campuses have become an important battleground for addressing economic inequities, and your music is genius.

Yelawolf, Jay Electronica, Supernatural and GZA are some acts of interest.

[DreddedWondah]

Very Powerful!

[jayyjayyz05]

LOVE the first verse, good job arabesque :)

[diplofan]

One Love. One Word.

Good job Besque.. Pinoy's are Universal Caregivers.. Good to see you acknowledge our people homie. Can't wait for the new album.

[tasha82charmin]

Lots of Filipino Love in this Video!

[brittany965]

lmao the imnice guy from love court is in that.. sick video arabesque.. love it!

[FaBzKilLuminatI]

I really like this song but you should of added both the Tamil Eelam flag with the Srilanka flag. Some Tamils from that counrty might find that offensive

[scifen88]

Would love to c Arabesque and Jay Electronica. Bringin the balance to hip hop word up.

[MyZyna]

[mannyfoshow]

[stokelycarm]

[tasha82charmin]

Powerful message! Love me some Besque

[youngtj20]

[jointdalerecords]

dope trakc..respect

[mayleepooface]

NIce!!!!!! DO it up!!!!!!

[TokyoSoundSystem]

Awesome

[Candiceraisin]

Absolutely Brilliant! I can't remember the last time I've heard a hip hop artist even mention other nationalities let alone the issues! Among 272 cities in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States, Vancouver, Victoria, Abbotsford, Kelowna and Toronto ranked among the cities with the most severely unaffordable housing markets.

The system is set up for immigrants to fail!

ps. Arabesque is sexy

[DoGoodFam]

One of the dopest. We need a K'naan Besque Tour.

[KiranScarborough]

MY GIRL AMANDAAAAAAAA niceeeee u look good hun missing the Indian chick aka me:P nice song nice beats nice vid & concept =] any more video shoots in mind plz inbox =]

[RiqueToronto]

YES YES TORONTO! This is a serious track!

[UpGeared]

This kind of hip hop fosters discussion with our youth. Props to Arabesque, hitting the nail on the head.

[Ms360Guru]

I love this!

[greenerbrand]

This reminds me of when I moved from Kuala Lumpur to Capitol Heights in Maryland. Maaaaan hard times. Good job on the subject matter. Where can I download this?

[scifen88]

tamil eelam + palestine in solidarity

Big up Arabesque, following you since 06

[NoDizoubt]

Very powerful message. K'naan and Arabesque are the reason I still listen to Hip Hop. Dope.

[djmakerz]
