Shaaban Abdel Rehim - We've Lost All Patienceشعبان عبد الرحيم - خلصنا الصبر كلهKhalasna el Sabr kolo

Shaaban Abdel Rahim is an Egyptian artist who likes to take up popular and controversial issues. He is usually pretty outspoken. This song came out doing the controversy over the cartoons of Mohammed last year.



Shaaban Abdel Rehim - We've Lost All Patience

We've lost all patience
And now there's no solutions
It's brought insult to religion and the prophet
The Prophet of God Mohammed
Leader of the prophets
They want to wave his picture
The biggest idiots

All the prophets we know
And the moment before and after he prayed for them all in Jerusalem
We won't shut up about everything they say
They didn't leave religion alone and fouled it

All the religions are innocent from that which does not concern the prophet
Because these a crazy people and most of them stupid
If one reads about Mohammed he will know who he is
The prophet of loyal and true humanity

The Lord of the Faithful commanded us
To bear witness to the Prophet and we say
No to any religion that blaspheme us even to any prophet
Why?

What is Denmark oh world?
They're rash
Who are those that say things about the prophet?

Our Islam is innocent from them and all their lies
Our Islam is a religion of love and not injustice and terrorism
Why?

You'll all be together in hell
And the fire will burn your faces on every side
Why?

I will say I'm not gonna shut up
And the people will say it with me
We want a comprehensive boycott
And that's not even enough
If everyone will shut up
There is a lord of the noble name
We want to do something
In service of the beloved

All our patience is gone
And now there's no solutions
Why?

شعبان عبد الرحيم - خلصنا الصبر كله

ليه؟ عشان ايه؟
خلصنا الصبر كله
وبردو مفيش حلول
اهى وصلت الاهانة للدين وللرسول
رسول الله محمد
إمام الأنبياء
عايزين يهزوا صورته
السفلة الأغبياء

كل الانبياء عرفينه
وقبل وبعدهم ساعة ما صلى بيهم في القدس كلهم
مش كل مرة نسكت على اي كلام يقولوا
ما سابوش الدين بحالو والمصف دنيسوا
!!! ليه
ما سابوش الدين بحالو والمصف دنيسوا
والمصف دنيسوا


كل الأديان بريئة من اللى هانوا النبي
عشان دي ناس مجنونة أكبر ما فيهم غبي
لو يقرأ عن محمد هيعرف هو مين
رسول الانسانية الصادق الأمين

رب العباد امرنا نشهد بالنبي ونقول
لا بأي دين كفرنا ولا حتى بأي رسول
!!! ليه
لا بأي دين كفرنا ولا حتى بأي رسول

دنمارك ايه يا عالم
حتى بتوع العجول
مين دول عشان يقولوا كلام على الرسول

بريأ أسلامنا منهم وكلامهم الكذاب
أسلامنا دين محبة مش ظلم ولا ارهاب
!!! ليه

في النار حتبقوا لما مع بعض كلكم
والولعة في كل يمة حتحرق وجهكم
!!! ليه

هقول ومش رح اسكت
والناس هتقول معاي
عايزين مقاطعة شاملة
وبردو مش كفاية
لو كل الناس هتسكت
في رب اسمه الحسيب
عاوزين نعمل حاجة
في خدمة الحبيب

خلصنا الصبر كله
وبردو مفيش حلول
!!! ليه

Egyptian Music

Egypt is the largest Arab country, with about 80 million people living mostly along the Nile river running from Aswan near the Sudan border to Alexandria on the Mediterranean Sea. As a regional geographic, economic and population center, Egypt is center of cultural production in the Arab world, and the Egyptian dialect has become widely understood thanks to the dissemination of Egyptian films, television programs and music.

The story Egyptian music begins in the colonial era before World War II. During the 1920s and 1930s, the most prominent Egyptian composer was Mohammed Abdel Wahhab, who adapted many poems such as those of Ahmed Shawky to music and made the soundtracks to many Egyptian films.

Abdel Wahhab often wrote songs for the most prominent singer of this time period and Egyptian music history is Om Kalthoum. Known as Kawkab al-Sharq (Star of the East), she rose to prominence in the 1940s and remained the adoration of the Egyptian public every since. With the nationalist movement and the revolution of 1952, Om Kalthoum became a national symbol for Egypt and many of her songs of this period are nationalistic in nature. She died in 1975, but remains probably the most well-known Arab performer throughout the world and certainly throughout Egypt.

At the beginning of Om Kalthoum's career, there was another very popular female singer named Asmahan, who was a descendent of Druze royalty and sister of Farid al-Atrache that moved to Cairo. She produced several songs and films, but died in car crash under some dubious circumstances, and rumors abound that she may have been a Soviet spy. Because of her mysterious beauty and her premature death, Asmahan is a legend in the world of Arabic music.

Abdel Halim Hafez is another Egyptian singer who became very famous in post-independence Egypt. He is known for singing love songs of epic proportion like Om Kalthoum and a trademark smile. Like most Egyptian singers of this time, he starred in several musical films. He died fairly young, at age 48 in 1977, and thus remains a musical legend in Egypt. In 2006 a film called "Haleem" starring the late Egyptian film legend Ahmed Zaki as Abdel Halim Hafez. The Natacha Atlas album entitled "Halim" is named so in honor of Abdel Halim.

Today there are many Egyptian pop stars, none more famous and legendary than Amr Diab. He became internationally famous with the song "Nour el-Ayn" during the 1990s, and remains the king of Egyptian pop today. Amr Diab is now known for his ageless face, which appears quite young despite the fact he is approaching 50.

Mohammed Mounir is an artist from Upper Egypt born in Aswan. He is known for blending Arabic musical styles with more African styles. He has also been outspoken about issues such as religion and politics. After September 11, he sought to learn more about his religion, Islam, and has since been critical of both Muslims who do not practice responsibly and Westerners who hold outrageous misconceptions about Muslims. He has also been a long supporter of the Palestinian cause, and a peace advocate in general.

The two singers Sherine Ahmed (born Sherine Abdel Wahhab) and Tamer Hosni have become very popular in Egypt during the past few years. They rose to prominence together with a mix CD that contained both singles and duets. Now both have successful solo careers and have released many albums.

Shaaban Abdel Rahim is a well-known and controversial figure in Egyptian Shaabi pop music. He is a sort of rags to riches story in that he worked as a low-wage laundary man for years before his songs became popular. His typically no frills songs focus on catchy lyrics and expressing popular ideas, such as his 2000 songs called "I Hate Israel" and his 2003 song "Don't Hit Iraq" have made him a beloved figure, despite his lack of fashion sense. Hakim is another singer in the Shaabi genre who has sold millions of albums since the early 1990s.

The first Egyptian hip-hop group to achieve success is MTM. Their 2003 album entitled "Ummi Mesafra" (My Mom is Away) was groundbreaking in the world of Arab pop music. Although some of their singles are mostly pop much like Will Smith in the United States, some of their songs deal with social issues using humor.
