Busta Rhymes' song for "Arab Money" has been one of my favorite tracks to come out this winter. When I learned Rik Cordero was shooting a video for the song it only increased my excitement because Rik has churned out awesome material in the past. He's done Nas' "Sly Fox", Snoop Dogg's "Neva Have 2 Worry", and Joell Ortiz' "Brooklyn Bullshit".

So you can just imagine the disappointment I experienced after watching this:




This song is literally about bragging how much money you have, so why not shoot it over in Dubai instead of using a green screen? I'm not against using green screen in general, but in this instance it looks very cheesy and amateurish.

P.S. - Did anyone else notice how Ron Brows changed his pronounciation of "Arab"? In the original version it was Ay-Rab, but in the video version he using the traditional (correct) way.
