  • Wait, whats this song even about?

  • ARAB POWER

  • Is he really an arab?

  • Old School West Coast Classic!

  • If it wasn't for Brother Arab their probably would'nt be an NWA. This was the first single that launched nwa.

  • @Botticellian NWA was out years before this guy came around....Check your Rap history.

  • @escuchar99 he worked with Egyptian lover back in '84. learn your history, man. this guy put NWA together then was ushered out by cube.

  • @Referee409 thanks for clearing that up to him:)

  • @Botticellian

    Although he was one of the original members, he didnt release his solo album till 1989, NWA had been recording since 1986. So... this single had nothing to do with the sucess of NWA, it was already famous by then.

  • THIS GUY FUCKING SUCKS. THIS IS SOME WEAK ASS SHIT. THIS GUY SHOULD QUIT RAPPING AND DO DEMOS FOR PROPELLERHEADS REASON.

  • @xraydelta1 The 80's just asked u why u commented on theyr song? Reason? U must be kidding me ur internet rapper.. fool

  • @mupsen123 you moron I know who arbian prince is, it was a joke fool. No i came way before the fucking internet generation. I remember back in the day it was only the punk rockers who were on IRC chat lines before the fucking internet. So relax, fool I put in my time from cold crush, kool g rap, to black milk and witchdoctor.

    I understand the message you're trying to put out to people about internet dork hop, i feel you

    But as you can see, this fool actually DOES do demos for reason get it

  • Wewll he's got the NWA look but i can see why he wasnt a major member. he kinda sucked at rapping and his voice sounds plain and old.

  • I still have this on vinyl!

  • This is just a motherfucking wanna be.... no wonder that he ain´t no achievment...

  • Lick my BALLS , LOng BeacH Motherfuckers.WORD UP! comfort jeans dookie chain, hat on high, DOPE FRESH Look.

  • arab ..lol

  • wots a big posse.

  • lol this is supposed to be about the video, but there is technically no eastern or western portion of the world as it is a sphere, however there is a north and south. Middle east is a made up term. Egypt is a part of Africa, and Egyptians are African, this should be obvious. Egyptians don't look like the rest of Africa because they aren't the rest of Africa. And lastly, Africa is considered part of the "Middle East" as is Northeast Africa, Southwest Asia and Southeast Europe.

  • Dude u dont have a point, arab doesnt mean a place like africa or asia, Arab is like the word "american" or "swedish", atleast its close to that, im black and i have many black friends that actullay are part arab or fully and i dont mean egypt. Arabian can be from Iraq, bahrain saudiarabia etc.

    Next time dont get it twisted

  • one of the true producers of NWA

  • I'm sorry. lol This song is STONE hard. It's making me laugh, that's how hard it is. I haven't heard this since like 91. I'm dying.

  • Comment removed

  • If this fake Arab was in Lebanon he would be classified as the Abeed.

  • Who cares hes Ae-rab

  • Yeah, Arabian had a song called "Situation Critical" Dre had the fast beats like "Gimme Somethin to Dance to" - N.W.A. knew that it had to have some club beats to fall back on, but that Gangsta Rap hit, and the rest was history.

  • bigg arab prince !

    NWA4LiFE! !!!

  • I'm gon' get me a big fat fucking posse to eat.

  • dumb fuck .... blacks can be arabs too.

  • Yes . Many arabs have "black skin" i.e. afro-arab features. Go to Yemen and they all look like this Brotha Arab.Almost all Yemeni Arabs look like him. Same features. anyhow his ancestors are probably from the North East African region, and these arabs would probably be considered to be "black" they grew up in compton or detroit.

  • True, and many black turned into islam.

  • Also remember "the arab prince" is just a title. whether his arab or not doesn't matter its just a title. a stage name. but his character on stage is meant to be the Arab. Red Necks know these arabs as "sand niggers"

  • Is this guy really Arab?

  • Nah he's not Arab.I know someone that met him and asked him that loool. He's just a light skinned black dude.

  • wis he called arabian prince!?!?!?

  • That dude with the fishing hat used to always come out in people's videos (ie: Do Me Baby Rmx from BBD) and dance on Soul Train.

  • NWA > Arabian Prince

  • No, Arabian Prince >> NWA lol

  • No what he was in NWA ya he is Arabian Prince aka Brotha Arab

  • arabian prince founded NWA

  • vintage seattle is the king of rap videos..no jokes

  • Arabian Prince - Take you home girl

  • he one of the real nwa members

  • a NEGGRO ? call him self 'arabian prince ' !!! LOL i swear i will kill myself if a neggro become a prince in my country

  • It's better to be thought of as an idiot, than to open your mouth & remove all doubt.

    "Your" country as U call it, at one point was North East Afrika until the white man built his man made ditch called the Suez Canal, which construction began on April 25, 1859 & opened in 1869.

    Idiot..

  • go fuck urself im arab not egyptian , arab will killu before he let a black son of ass rule him .

  • U won't do shit but what you're doing right now..runnin' off at the mouth U punk bitch..

    Like I said, the ENTIRE middle east B4 the suez canal, was INDEED, north east Afrika..

    Now go slap yourself for being dumb & exposing your OBVIOUS ignorance..& while you're at it, go apologize to your history teacher for wasting time trying to educate an obvious moron, when their time could've been better utilized educating someone with better mental & comprehensive capabilities..

  • im not being racist , but man u got to admit it , neggros dont have a civilization u always been slave for european for arabs for other ppl , u have no power and no name in the history .. thats the fact u can not change it , we ruled north africa 1400 years ago my friend and they now speak arabic and they are muslim because we ruled them we came from saudi arabia desert ..

  • 1st of all, it's "Negros" not "neggros"..

    We didn't have a civilization?

    "The ancient Egyptians were true Negroes of the same type as all native born Africans."

    -- Anthropologist, Count Constatin de Volney (1727-1820)

    How dumb are are U? Like I said, U need to go apologize to your history teacher for wasting their time on such an idiot U are..

    And no dumbass, arabs didn't arrive in Kemet until 639 A.D.

    I see you're also not to bright at math either..

  • The Nile Valley is the cradle of civilization itself U moron!

    It was from the Spiritual Texts or Ancient Writings of the North Afrikans called the "Medu Neter" (translated, it means "Word(s) Of God") where U arabs & europeans copied, stole & plagiarized the very foundation of your BOGUS & FALSE religious doctrines, that led to the EQUALLY BOGUS Quran, Torah/Talmud, Bible..

    U need a serious history lesson..

  • Again U moron, U muthafuckas didn't even get into Kemet until 329 A.D.!

    The Ancient civilization of Kemet started around 3,000 B.C. So if Afrikans didn't have a civilization, why is it that Afrikans are the "ONLY" people linguistically & culturally connected to Kemet/Egypt?

    Idiot..

    And furthermore, Middle East is a colonial term invented by the British!

    There's no such thing as Middle East because that was ALL North East Afrika! The middle of what & where?

    Take a $ & buy a clue.

  • ya its north africa but they are not negroes ? they are arabs , the problem is not in the name , i dont care if it called middle east or whatever , but what i know and what i care about is that all north africa from Mauritania to Egypt and all gulf countries and syria , jordan , lebanon, palestine and iraq , all of these countries are arabs countries , and this is the last thing from our empire , but negroes dont have anything , u have small tribes but no civilization and no army , alot r slaves

  • The "CURRENT" inhabitants of Egypt are arabs, but the ones that BUILT the civilization of Ancient Kemet, were INDEED Afrikans!

    Sir Richard Francis Burton, 19th century English explorer, writer & linguist in 1883 wrote to Gerald Massey:

    "You are quite right about the "AFRICAN" origin of the Egyptians. I have 100 human skulls to prove it."

    Ancient greek historian Herodotus visited Kemet in the 5th Century B.C. & saw them face-to-face & described them as "BLACK" skinned & "WOOLY" hair.

  • The "Nazlet Khater" man was the [EARLIEST] modern human skeleton found near Luxor, in 1980.

    The remains was DATED from between 35,000 & 30,000 years ago. The report regarding the "Racial" affinity of this skeleton concludes:

    "Strong alveolar prognathism combined with fossa praenasalis in an African skull is suggestive of [Negroid] morphology form & structure."

    -- Thomas A., Morphology & affinities of the Nazlet Khater man, Journal of Human Evolution, vol 13, 1984.

  • It's U arabs, under the BOGUS guuise of "Restoration", who are being paid by your ashkanazi jewish employers, over in Kemet today, are disassembling those holy temples to get rid of the evidence that PROVES that the 3 MAIN/MAJOR religions of the world (christianity, islam & Judaism) are nothing more than copied, stolen & plagiarized accounts of Ancient Kemetic Spiritual Accounts from these great writings.

  • None of these religions can continue to proliferate or perpetuate their LIES, as long as there's EVIDENCE in existence in Kemet that "CLEARLY" shows that "IT'S" the source of these bullshit, MADE UP arab, european & so called jewish' religious doctrines..

  • U arabs & european today are doing what U did in Ancient Times, trying the ERASE the Afrikan presence out of Kemet.

    It's why in ancient times, when BOTH y'all invaded Kemet, BOTH of y'all BURNED the libraries & passed laws decreeing that anyone that was caught with the literature that was to be gotten rid of, they'd be put to death.

    But thanks to NUMEROUS Black Historians/Scholars & Black Research teams going there EVERY year, they've VISUALLY DOCUMENTED & gotten the IRREFUTABLE EVIDENCE.

  • nice! black adam for prez

  • you got served, bitch

  • The worst kind of ignorance is that which thinks it knows everything...

    There is much controversy over what race the ancient Egyptians were, the general consensus holds that they were probably neither "black" or "white". I use those terms loosely because I myself do not believe that they are relevant anymore. The concept of a pure race is incoherent when you think about the many civilizations that have existed throughout the history of the middle east.

  • Your stance is obviously an Afrocentric one, which is just as inaccurate as the Eurocentric theory which you attempt to dissolve. Don't be pulled into an emotive position when it comes to history because it only leads to frustration, leave the squabbling to the scholars and just enjoy the music.

  • "We [egyptians] came from the beginning of the Nile, where God Hapi dwells at the foothill of the mountain of the moon"

    -- Priest Hunefer (papyrus of hunefer)

    Who better to TELL U where they came from than a kemite? There's ONLY 2 places in Afrika with the nickname "Mt. Of The Moon"..Mt. Kilamanjaro in Uganda & Rwenzori, BOTH located around the Central Lakes Region of Afrika.

    He's CLEARLY telling U that they came from Central Afrika!

  • And WHY do U fools refer to egypt as "the middle east"? Egypt is in Afrika! There's no SUCH THING as a "middle east"! The middle of what?!! Where's the middle west/north/south?!

    B4 the suez canal was built & seperated the land, ALL of that was North East Afrika! Afrocentric? I deal with FACTS..Period!

    Cheikh Ante Diop ALREADY humiliated the arab/eurocentric academic community at the UNESCO symposium in the 70's by scientifically PROVING that the ancient egyptians WERE INDEED Afrikans.

  • Comment removed

  • I'm not saying the ancient Egyptians weren't of African origin, they definitely were, there is irrefutable evidence to support that. My point is that your description of this pure, untouched and uninfluenced african race existing for thousands of years in a land that is a crossroads to both asia and europe is inaccurate. It's been shown that there had existed several cultures, before 3100 BC, during neolithic times, that had connection to the Levant and Palestine. Take the Merimde for example.

  • "It's been shown that there had existed several cultures, before 3100 BC"

    Sorry dick..but the 1st european NEVER touched Afrikan soil B4 332 B.C.E & the 1st asiatic NEVER touched Afrikan soil until 639 A.C.E & that's a anthropological & scientific FACT!

  • The 2 MAIN genetic clusters found in Egypt are Haplogroups E & J-M267. The E clusters ALL originated within Sub-Saharan East & Central Africa.

    J-M267 is derived from the "Arab Invasion", Am J. Hum. Genet. 74 (5): 101422 (circa 639 A.C.E.. 1,400 YEARS AGO) according to "DNA evidence".

    Arabs are the natives of "arabia" & those from there are "asiatics" & are of the Asiatic "phenotype,", which is "caucasoidal". That's scientific FACT!

    These invaders were NOT there B4 this!

  • It is a FACT that Kemet's culture & dynastic traditions were CREATED, practiced & EXISTED in the Nile Valley OVER 5,000 yrs B4 Kemet's 1st dynasty!

    Now WHAT does that tell U?!

    It tells me that there's NO WAY IN HELL that europeans or arabs/asiatics could have POSSIBLY founded, much less even CONTRIBUTED to Kemet's culture because that culture & those traditions were in place THOUSANDS of yrs B4 Narmer, the 1st pharaoh!

  • Egypt is the heart of the middle east lol wtf r u talking about? Middle east as in middle of the Eastern part of the world, U.S.A. being the western part of the world. Basic geography.

  • The term "middle east" is a colonial term invented by the British. There's no such thing as Middle East, the middle of where the middle of what? If that's the case, where's the middle north, south & west?

    And last time I checked, Egypt is in Afrika & BELONGS to Afrika. To claim otherwise, is like saying Texas isn't in america. Shit U can look on the damn map & SEE where it is fool!

    U sound like a goddamn idiot!

  • wtf why are u posting all this bullshit just shut the fuck up damn

  • Why are U posting "replies" to comments that

    A) U know nothing about &

    B) weren't directed at U?

    Now U shut the fuck up & mind your own goddamn business..

  • go watch porn u faggot

  • What for, when I can go engage in that kinda' activity with REAL women. Maybe U should try it sometimes..

  • i do with your mom all the time

  • Whatever kid..

  • Egyptians were African. They fought consumptive wars and that's why they looked different from the rest of Africa. They went to war with another country, won and ATE the country and it's nationals. There was intermarrying, etc. When Egypt went to war with Syria and LOST...Syria moved INTO Egypt because it was the home of modern technology, etc.

    The ancient world will always be relevant as the birthplace of modern technology. America's only 230 yo and Europe is barely 2000.
