+-------------------------------[Release Notes]------------------------------+
| |
| Rap group Fun-Da-Mental have been in existence since 1991, but have |
| suddenly received considerable attention with their latest album All is |
| War (The Benefits of G-had). |
| |
| The album's release has been delayed after it received criticism in the |
| UK press aimed at its explicit tracks - such as Cookbook DIY, which |
| describes the process of building and exploding a terrorist bomb; Che |
| Bin, which compares Osama bin Laden to Che Guevara; and 786 All Is War, |
| which calls for "a mosque on Ground Zero." |
| |
| Two directors of Fun-Da-Mental's label Beggars Banquet Records have |
| threatened to resign if the album is released. There have been some |
| calls for frontman Aki Nawaz to be arrested for glorifying terrorism. |
| |
| I knew the album would touch a nerve - it was intended to touch a nerve |
| - but not on this scale. |
| |
| I had to have a couple of helmets to avoid the missiles that were coming |
| at me.s |
| |
| We actually appeal more to non-Muslims - lefties, anarchists, |
| skateboarders - than we do appeal to Muslims |
| |
| It does have strong lyrics - but we're living in extreme times. |
| |
| These are serious issues that are going on around us. It's not a joke. |
| |
| People are getting murdered, slaughtered, and I want to be really |
| responsible. I want to dissent, I don't want to toe the line - but I've |
| also got to pick my time a bit better, so I pulled back. I have turned |
| down 100-200 interviews. |
| |
| Each track on the album has its own story. Cookbook DIY is about going |
| into the minds of three different characters. The first is an anarchist |
| bomber - what he is thinking about, and how he makes a bomb for ú50. |
| |
| The second is a dissenting bomber - someone like the Unabomber, or a |
| suicide bomber in Palestine - how they make their bombs. And the third |
| is the scientist who works for the White House, and how he makes his |
| bomb. |
| |
| It is also about how we as people contribute, through our taxes, to make |
| that bomb. We also play our part in terrorism of the state, where the |
| state terrorises people - whether it is in Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa, or |
| South America. |
| |
| It is to show the absurdity of all of us, who give more moral grounding |
| to someone who makes a bomb which kills 200,000 people, and say he is |
| better than someone who makes a bomb which kills 50 people. |
| |
| We actually appeal more to non-Muslims - lefties, anarchists, |
| skateboarders - than we do to Muslims. |
| |
| A lot of Muslims ask me why I'm using music to make political |
| soundbites, because that is not Halal - it is not permitted in Islam. |
