Yasiin Bey – N****s in Poorest
By Petar Kujundzic / Video / February 21, 2012 / 18378 Views

The artist formerly known as Mos Def drops the visual interpretation of his rendition of The Throne's ubiquitous song. Honoring Malcom X's 42nd death-day, Yasiin's version conveys quite a different message. It also serves as the first video from his Top 40 Underground series. The thought-provoking visual was helmed by Yasiin himself and Set Free whereas editing credits come courtesy of Andre Cole.

    When Kayne says that shit "Kray," he's referring to the gangster Kray brothers. Wtf is "cray" there is no such thing as cray, it's Kray.

    That noted, Mos Def's lyrics are far superior.

    Lyrics aren't about god dumbshit, clearly about rampant poverty and ignorance and the effect that it has on people, which in many countries is because of religion. Fuck your god.

    Yeah he can say whatever he wants, but for any non-Muslim or any non-religious person a line like that is bound to make people uncomfortable and lessen the impact of an otherwise great song. I don't like to think that any omniscient figure is controlling anything.

    Allah in Arabic El-ilah. ilah means God in english El means Unique, One, Only. literally meaning is One God . Allah has 99 name in Kuran-ı Kerim. All name in Kuran has unique meanings "Allah" word is obtain all name in one word.

    Jay-z And Kanye must listen this lyrics and think of meanings of them.
