The song questions President George W. Bush's role in the events of Sept. 11, 2001, with the lyric "Why did Bush knock down the towers?" The line has prompted some radio stations to edit the track.

Jadakiss sucks and he's an idiot.

I think Jadakiss meant to say, "Why did Bush let the terrorists knock down the towers?" , but couldn't fit the necessary syllables into the sentence.

Anyway he isn’t the first rapper to accuse the Bush Administration to do this:

Immortal Technique - The Cause of Death

Now here's the truth about the system that'll fuck up your mind
They gave Al Queda 6 billion dollars in 1989 to 1992
And now the last chapters of Revelations are coming true
And I know a lot of people find it hard to swallow this
Because subliminal bigotry makes you hate my politics

But you act like America wouldn't destroy two buildings
In a country that was sponsoring bombs dropped on our children
I was watching the Towers, and though I wasn't the closest
I saw them crumble to the Earth like they was full of explosives
And they thought nobody noticed the news report that they did
About the bombs planted on the George Washington bridge
Four Non-Arabs arrested during the emergency
And then it disappeared from the news permanently
They dubbed a tape of Osama, and they said it was proof
"Jealous of our freedom," I can't believe you bought that excuse
Rockin a motherfucking flag don't make you a hero
Word to Ground Zero
The Devil crept into Heaven, God overslept on the 7th
The New World Order was born on September 11

BTW I think the shits ridiculous. I mean atleat Immortal Technique could get some free publicity.

[aoi tsuki]

Why include the lyric or why edit it?

 

[VPhys]

Why doesn't the thread title any information?

 

[Wolfy]

From the article:

As for the controversial line, the rapper's view is unwavering. "I just felt Bush had something to do with that," Jadakiss says, referring to 9/11.

Haha, rappers. What will they come up with next?

They always censor this sort of stuff for some reason. I remember a D12 song where Eminem's supposed to go, "I'll pipe down when the White House gets wiped out", but they blanked out "White House" even on the PA version.

Yeah, I heard it on the radio this morning for the first time this morning (I always see the video or listen to it on my MP3 player) and they censor Bush's name in the lyric.
