I don't know what they're saying, so I hope it's not offensive... but gosh, I didn't know stuff like this existed.

Unknown said...: hooooly cow. that is beautiful. my gosh... i'm stunned.

at first i was fairly disturbed by the puma gear and how much our (ok, well, black, gang) american culture has saturated someplace it has no business being.

but then, great video editing. great images. great dancing. great lofi sound. and sure the guy can rap -- which sounds awesome with the middle eastern consonants. then a great mix -- all of that is at american production levels -- except for one thing -- the other dude can freakin sing!!! our rappers can't do that. and harmonies.

i picked up the word "shalom" in the second line of the chorus. the music is sooo gorgeous -- its a celebration of freedom or a dream of reconciliation or something beautiful.

where can i find more of this? that's ridiculous; 10:05 PM
