PRESS RELEASE ( Jan 7th 2009)

Oy Vey! We at IMYOURPRODUCER.COM are truly amazed at the amount of press that Busta Rhymes was able to score with “Arab Money” . There have been countless debates surrounding “Arab Money” and the video has now been deemed racist by many viewers. The fact that Busta decided create lyrics out of exerpts from holy Coran is probably the worst thing he could’ve done. Either way, we still believe Busta’s decision to put the song out was based on one golden rule: Any publicity is good publicity.

Being politically correct is overrated; it’s about making movements, getting people involved and having fun with the craft. Busta’s team understands this and although we can’t say that ” Arab money” is our favourite song of his, it definitely helped promote his upcoming album quite well.

” The minute I heard Arab Money I knew it was something I could remake in just about an hour. The melody, drums and structure are so simple and the song begged for a Hebrew remix. I recorded the hook and began thinking about who I could get on the track. The choice was clear. Bless is a known Hebrew rapper who has collaborated with people such as Rah Digga, Gangstarr, Tony Touch , and even 2pac. I played him the beat and we began brainstorming. A couple of weeks later, we shot the video in Montreal and the project was ready to blast onto the net“. [C4]

Here are some important points to remember before watching the video:

The current situation in the Middle East is terrible. There are injustices on both sides of the fence and this video was not made to support any specific view. The goal of the video is to show how we are able to laugh at our own flaws. No matter which race you are, you have been faced with some sort of typecasting. What better way is there to laugh at our own stereotypes? This video does not aim to make fun of religion itself or to compete. It aims at showing the lighter side of Judaism and its multicultural make-up.

Look out for new Bless tracks produced by C4 in the very near future.

On behalf of C4 ENT, Platinumberg Entertainment and IMYOURPRODUCER.COM, we hope you enjoy the video!

Special thanks to Raphael Belizaire for cutting the video and Joel Tietolman for sparking up the idea!
