Chan Feat. Singapore Kane - Street Legends [Music Video].

"N-ggas with bodies on they hands salute and dap me / they're some wild Apaches that dress a little tacky / [...]" - Singapore Kane

I forgot in Episode 25 to mention Apache Helicopters and the very interesting use of "Codename Geronimo" for Osama Bin Laden (click here for a news story on the operation that took him out and here for a story on a descendant of the historical Native American Geronimo, who is demanding an apology from the White House).


Sugarhill Gang - Apache (Jump On It).  Click here for when this song made it's appearance on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.  Or click here for a video with 60s/70s hippie nonsense going on (a.k.a. the original by The Incredible Bongo Band, which was covered by Sugarhill Gang).


Incredible Bongo Band - Apache (Grandmaster Flash Remix).


DJ Qbert - Apache Remix [Around 10 seconds clipped from end].

The Narcicyst - P.H.A.T.W.A. [Official Music Video].


The Narcicyst - The Real Arab Money.  YouTube Comment: "He's saying "Allah ye3eenak ya Busta, misrepresentin' us in Dubai...." or may God be with you Busta..."Allah ye3eenak ya Busta, Arabz don't play up in Basra ( the city in Iraq that Narcicyst is from!). This is not a lashout on Busta Rhymes, Narcicyst has opened shows for him before. Basically this Iraqi- Canadian rapper is saying that Dubai is misrepresenting the poverty, injustices, and corruption in the Middle East."

Oh what up Jay Elec at the 0:44 mark... & Brother Ali around 1:26...  & shouts everybody I didn't recognize.

The Narcicyst Feat. Shadia Mansour - Hamdulilah [Official Music Video].

"To say 'Hamdulillah' is to be grateful for what one has.

The images of the past decades have cast a veil on our identity as a people. We, as international brothers and sisters, are now witness to injustice in real time. We watch our Wars in HD.

It is time for us to claim our faces back.

This video is a global collaborative effort by 10 photographers- from London to Lebanon, Cairo To Canada, Abu Dhabi to America- to create a portrait of the New Global Citizens. They are DJs, MCs, poets, architects, teachers, doctors, parents and children. Most of all they are people.

Thank you to everyone that was involved. We are blessed to have each other."

Peace, peace y'all.
