Ben Harper “Burn One Down”

Here’s the talented Ben Harper singing his heart out and dreaming of “libertarianism.”
Read the lyrics. The man is a hilarious genius! World peace here we come baby!

Let us burn one, from end to end.
And pass it over to me my friend.
Burn it long, but burn it slow,
to light me up before I […]

Cheb Khalid - Aicha

Say hello to one of my favorite songs of all time. It’s so soulful, so beautiful to the point of being almost spiritual. If you don’t like it, then you and I aren’t friends anymore.

Marilyn Manson and Porn Star Jenna Jameson On Bill O’Reilly’s Show

Out of all people, Bill O’Reilly hosts two super notorious individuals all the way from the opposite side of the political spectrum.
Jenna Jameson: The dirty, naughty porn star is happy with herself but she’s worried about what her kids (yes, she wants to have kids eventually!) will think of her. Awww, poor Jenna. Oh and […]

Rapper Akon, Thug Wannabe

The article hits points I’ve wanted to bring up here on numerous occasions but still haven’t yet.
Let’s just say I’m not a true fan of mainstream hip-hop. I prefer blues and jazz instead. Old school hip-hop is the real deal. Even with all that was left to be desired, at least rappers like Tupac were […]

Sudanese Rapper, Emmanuel Jal

Thanks Rob for pointing this out. Good stuff. Glad to see Southern Sudanese rapper Emmanuel Jal getting big.
Emmanuel Jal was eight when he was handed an AK-47 and told to fight for the southern Sudanese rebels of the SPLA. He escaped Sudan in a bag, smuggled out by Emma McCune, a British aid worker, on […]

Nancy Ajaj

Nancy Ajaj is a Sudanese singer who has become very famous in recent years. Her voice can be seriously annoying sometimes when she maintains the same high pitch without enough variation but overall, I think she’s adorable and love what she has to offer.
Sudanese conservatives loathe her of course. Let them enjoy doing so as […]

Bob Marley - Africa Unite

It’s time to light up your bongs.
Kidding.

Loving the Creations of Those You Hate

I was out with a Sudanese friend yesterday when the subject of racism towards people with African ethnicities popped up. Well, actually that wasn’t the core subject. We were talking about the contradictory attitude of retarded people who are racist towards blacks but yet still love, and I mean love hip-hop and reggae. I’ve personally […]

Connecting the Dots: Rastafari, Reggae, Jews and Zionism

Sometime more than a year ago, I wondered about the connection between reggae and Zionism. Occasionally you hear the word “Zion” being sung by artists like Bob Marley and even his son Damien Marley in some of their songs. I had no idea why but I did have a hunch that there was a complex […]

The Taqwacores

The first time I read about “The Taqwacores” was in Sandmonkey’s blog. Later on he’d tell me about a video he watched of the bands crashing an ISNA show (ISNA = Islamic Society of North America). “A band of Canadian Pakistani lesbians?! At an ISNA event?! No way!” was my reaction. He giggled… and he […]

Metallica - Enter Sandman (Live)

System Of A Down - B.Y.O.B

And eventually, I might start getting called a Zionist agent for listening too much to Matisyahu.
