Robin Wright 2011  (Rock the Casbah: Rage and Rebellion Across The Islamic World , p. 115 – 118)

 

Throughout the Islamic world, rap is now providing the rhythm of resistance… most were barred from recording CDs.

 

"Rais Lebled," … El General

 

These are the lyrics translated in to english

 

 

Mr. President, today I speak to you,

In the name of all who are suffering.

People dying of hunger,

They want to work to survive.

Go down to the street and look around you,

People are treated like animals.

Look at the cops,

Their batons beat everyone with impunity,

Because there's no one to say no,

Not even the law or the constitution.

 

 

 

We're suffering like dogs,

Half the people living in shame.

Misery everywhere,

People are eating from garbage cans.

Today I'm speaking for the people,

Crushed by the weight of injustice.

I've chosen to speak,

Even though many have warned me against it.

 

They steal in plain sight.

No need to name them,

You know very well who they are.

A lot of money should have gone to development,

To schools, to hospitals, to housing.

But the sons of dogs,

Are instead filling their stomachs.

Mr. President, your people are dead. 4

 

"Egypt, Algeria, Libya, Morocco," the chorus went, "all must be liberated too."

 

 

 

[Roland Bleikder, Co-Director of the University of Queensland’s Rotary Centre for International Studies in Peace and Conflict Resolution.  Popular Dissent, Human Agency, and Global Governance.  2000, pg. 215-217]

 

Language is one of the most fundamental …. which makes this act possible – in short, language itself.

 


 

 

P. 123-127 - Robin Wright, 2011, Rock the Casbah: Rage and Rebellion Across The Islamic World

 

 Islamic hip-hop reflects the counter-jihad  all Muslim countries, in some places close to 70 percent.  

 


 

 

 

Potter 95 (Russell, Spectacular Vernaculars: Hip-Hop and the Politics of Postmodernism P. 131-135)

 

All (sub)cultures, in a sense, are a part … ''Nigger, please, food stamps and free cheese / can't be the cure for a sick disease."
