One Arab Singer to Give You the Middle Finger

Diab, up and coming Egyptian hip singer has managed to do in less than two months what took MTV 10 years to do. Diab releases two music videos that assault the common decency in the Arab airwaves and shoved much greasy scum down the throats of his Arab viewers. Last Week Diab released his first album العو “Alaw”, which could be translated as the bogeyman, or a really mean looking dog, often used scares little kids. That’s for the title of the song, however his music video resurrects the feel of “Who Let the Dogs Out!” Models in the music video can be seen parking and acting like dogs. However, to ensure his unquestionable love to his home, the Egyptian flag is thrown into the mix. The ridiculous thing, after watching the music video, I feel this is how a Christian music producer would direct a rap music video.

Models with little to wear surrounded by fully clothes men, makes you wonder if the director of this cheap music video has any clue about the concept of art. Look, I like the song, I think it’s cool and catchy, but the music video does nothing to break stereotypes about women in the Arab land. I am not sure how women in Arab countries feel watching this music video when the focus of the camera seems to be the model’s backsides more than their looks or dance moves. I enjoy good and stylish dance moves and love the sight of beautiful women, but not in such trashy manner that Diab has opted to use in order to make a name form himself. Good job Diab, your music videos proves that Arab men can be as slimy and sleazy as those wannabe rapers on Myspace. And thanks to you, I can now safely call Haifa Wahby (and her clones) Angels.

Here is the video that pulls a doggie style on the Arab viewer
