reviewing the new MIA mixtape, Spin wrote: “And on the banging “Illy Girl,” she gives shout outs to Michael Jackson’s “Billy Jean” and Bruce Springsteen.”
And, and, and? Palestine (pronounced to rhyme with)… but I guess they missed that since it was only THE NEXT FUCKING WORD AND THIRD OF A TRIPLE RHYME.
I’m Arabic, and Lebanese, and while some of my best friends have been Palestinian, I am not a Palestine lover, blaming their breeding habits and disrespect for Lebanese sovereignty as a leading reason for the Lebanese civil war which
1. Destroyed my family
and
2. Left me bankrupt
and
3. stopped this blog from being called rock beirut
BUT
Fuck this shit.
If the third word in a rhyme is Palestine and you cut it off, you are just an everyday racist and fuck you.
