Tall Israeli
mos def’s 2004 alb-m the new danger featured the controversial song, “the rape over”, a parody of jay-z’s the blueprint hit “the takeover” which provides a list of influential forces he sees running the hip hop music industry, mos def thus refers to cohen, rapping that “some tall israeli is runnin’ this rap sh-t”:
old white men is runnin’ this rap sh-t,
corporate forces runnin’ this rap sh-t,
some tall israeli is runnin’ this rap sh-t,
we poke out our -sses for a chance to cash in.
cocaine, is runnin’ this rap sh-t,
‘dro, ‘yac and e-pills is runnin this rap sh-t,
mtv is runnin’ this rap sh-t,
viacom is runnin’ this rap sh-t,
aol and time warner runnin’ this rap sh-t,
quasi – h-m-s-xuals is runnin’ this rap sh-t.
high-placed executives temporarily made mos take the song off releases of the alb-m, citing clearance issues with jay-z and the doors, a band which the song samples. the song has been called anti-semitic for its veiled reference to jewish record executive lyor cohen (the “tall israeli” who then was head of the the island def jam music group), and h-m-phobic for its reference to “quasi-h-m-s-xuals.”
in similar situations referring to what happened to mos def, a tall israeli is a member of the secret cabal of individuals who really control the rap music industry. this aids to shed light on mos def’s alb-m subsequently being pulled from the record store shelves and edited to remove any mention of tall israelis.
some tall israeli is runnin’ this rap sh-t,
