My sister pointed me towards Busta Rhymes' newest (and most hilarious?) song, "Arab Money," off the soon to be released CD, BOMB (Back on My Bulls**t):
Busta makes some interesting points not only about our dependence on foreign oil, but on the role of petrol-dollars in the current financial crisis. But more importantly, could this song be the first fruits of a cross-pollination of American consumerism (which has reached its highest stage in the Baconator) and Gulf consumerism (which may have reached its highest stage in the diamond-studded LCD TV)?
Busta Rhymes: my new favorite orientalist!

I recommend you check out the lyrics.
