Mos Def, la polémique

The Rap Over

La track « The Rap Over », issue de l'album « The New Danger », créée une polémique dans le microcosme du Rap US.
En effet ce « jam » qui reprend l'instrumental de « Take Over » de Jay-Z a été retiré des prochains pressages de l'album dans un intriguant silence médiatique. La raison semble être les propos suspicieux et diffamant qui entourent cette track. Notamment certains passage dans lesquelles Mos dit je cite : « les quasi homosexuels… » puis « le grand israélien bave sur ce rap de merde ». Cette dernière réplique apparaît comme la cause principale de la controverse car elle semble être diriger vers Lyor Cohen , L'ancien Patron de Def Jam devenu patron chez Warner Music.

Voici les lyrics

(Boogie man business)

Listen
All white men is runnin this rap shit
Corporate force's runnin this rap shit
Setae israli is runnin this rap shit
We poke out the ashes for a chance to cash in
Cocaine, is runnin this rap shit
'Dro, 'yac and E-pills is runnin this rap shit

The rape over, turn your face over nigga
No god in disguise it's me, game over
Hey lil souljahs you're ready for more?
But don't ask what you're fighting for
They thought that you sur--vived the gunfight, the drama, the stress
You get in the line of fire we get the big ass cheques
You gettin your choice to pimp
Make your choice and fall in
This is austral B I, take that cock in your behind, Beatch
Hit the streets and perform for us
Hold hard and bring it on to us, fucker
I let you sip, comes an army, get a Mercedes
And kick back and let you pay me, my Mack is crazy
I leave the, knife and fist fight filled with glamour
Yeah, take a picture what this platinum point the sledgehammer
We over-do it add the fire and explode it to it
We're so confused with one rap music


Mtv, is runnin this rap shit
Viacom is runnin this rap shit
AOL and Time wanna (be) runnin this rap shit
We poke out the ashes for a chance to cash in
Cocaine, is runnin this rap shit
Hennessey, is runnin this rap shit
(?) and sexual is runnin this rap shit

Watch out we run the world

That's it
