Arab Money 101

Just like Busta Rhymes insinuates in his video; some Arabs [pronounced ah-rab not aay-rab..that's disrespectful]are actually very wealthy people. Places like Saudi Arabia, Qatar [the richest Middle Eastern country] and Dubai are uber wealthy and have recently become hot vacation spots for the wealthy... but not all of the Middle East is rich [i.e Baghdad & Afghanistan -- which have become war ridden countries].

Arab Money... what does that really entail? Well, they all don't actually attain their wealth through oil despite what Busta says. Majority of them have lots of overseas investments, dabble in banking and media as well as real estate. Names like Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Alsaud,Maan Al-Sanea,Yitzhak Tshuva and Shari Arison[the wealthiest Middle-Eastern female] are just a few big-time ballers.

Hmph.. and although the song is filled with ridiculous racist comments. I guess it sounded better than saying " We getting White Man money".
[i.e. Warren Buffet is still the richest man in the WORLD, worth $60 bil ... Bill Gates is ranked number 3, worth $58 bil]
