Two summers ago, I went to Egypt and my vegetarian cousin kept singing this stupid song about meat (“lahme”). Anyway, the video was made by two Arab wannabe gangsters from Florida. It’s pretty much the anthem of my life.

The first line goes “You are now rolling with Mohammed Abu Hafiz Al Halal…” — how thuggish of them.

Another line goes, “Inta ‘rocking’ maa meen? (you’re rocking with who?) Mustafa Shabaza Shoukry!” Great mixing of American slang and Arabic…
