Word Up - Arab Street Cred

Posted by Bill

Tim Blair links this piece that highlights some serious urban graffiti wars taking place in Baghdad, and speculates what might happen if the Iraqis ever see "8-Mile." Hmmm, let's see ...

Yo, yo, yo, yo,

Yeah we got camels,
Usually nuttin' but animals,
'Cept when it get cold at night,
You mad infidel you bang dat tight ...

CAMEL ASS! Just like you ma got,
You coward if you see a Jew you ain't take no shot,
I'm gonna drop you like a roadside bomb,
while the Imam say Saddam is busy bangin' you mom ...

WORD.

UPDATE:

Over at the Blair thread, commenter "Ocher" adds a great ditty. It's not quite spontaneous or hard enough for battlin' on da mic 8-Mile style, but it's pretty damn funny:

Yo, Dick Cheney! Let's kick it!
Allright, stop. Collaborate and listen
Saddam is back and he's in detention
Soldier...grabbed ahold of him tightly
Now he's in a cell both daily and nightly
"Where's the WMDs? Yo, I don't know!
Turn off the lights, and they'll glow."

Lice, Lice, Baby. Checkin' him for Lice, Lice, Baby.

UPDATE:

Another blog goes at it.
