Iraqi-American rapper TIMZ has released a politically charged music video that is getting international attention since its debut on YouTube.com.

"Iraq" is destined to be a true rallying cry during these difficult political times. TIMZ's background allows him to give a unique perspective of the war. "My parents are from Iraq but I was born in the United States. I feel like I'm able to connect to both sides of this war a little more than the average person. That's why I wrote the song the way I did; the first verse is written from the perspective of an Iraqi while the second verse is written from the perspective of an American. The third verse is a history lesson!"

"Dear Mr. George Bush," TIMZ raps. "Why do you insist to make a fool of us? For over 200 years... we stood for what's good, now we despised by our peers; And what do you...but add fuel to the fire and send in more troops. Oh the troops God save the troops; it wasn't their war their lies their fault. America the beautiful what did they do to you, they used you its so indisputable!"

On his fiery and autobiographical debut CD, TIMZ—aka Tommy Hanna, an American born rapper of Chaldean and Iraqi descent--gets right up in our faces, mixing explosive, Middle Eastern tinged beats with incendiary rhymes in an effort to shatter those ugly stereotypes that have plagued people who look like him since 9/11 and the start of the Iraq war.

Make no mistake, the title of TIMZ powerful, outspoken and heavy grooving 14- track collection—a nominee for Best Hip-Hop Album at the 2006 San Diego Annual Music Awards—says it all: the San Diego born and bred artist is Open For Business.

"Iraq" was directed by Ron Najor at TheBuzzLA.com

  • This is what happens when you have no education or expertise in politics, your major source for news is Faux News, and your only claims to fame in the last decade is exercise infomercials and stupid superman jokes like "Chuck Norris doesn't wait in traffic, he just sneezes and then calmly drives through the gap he created!", which is he ends up looking like a buffoon and gets schooled by a rapper. Yes, Saddam was bad, but he was a whole lot worse when he was our ally than when we invaded, moron.

  • Here's something we can add to those Facts about Chuck Norris that have been floating around:

    Chuck Norris knows squat about Iraqi current events,demographics and history.

  • under hussein we the christian lived safer as now, like my christian chaldean brother timz said

  • Ron Paul 2012

  • good for that kid. they're both nervous amateurs but the kid nailed it. iraq is more unsafe when this was filed in 2006 and now in 2012. "Saddam kept some of these extremists down. He took care of us." - said the Catholic
