My Translations of Arabic Rap/Hip Hop Songs (17 so far, more on the way!)

Hello, everyone. I've been working on my blog Revolutionary Arab Rap - http://revolutionaryarabrap.blogspot.com/ - and I wanted to post links to all the translations I've done so far so that the moderators (PRETTY PLEASE?) can put them in the sticky list of translated songs. I've done Universal Subtitles videos for each one in both Arabic and English and posted the Arabic lyrics and English translation for each song. I've done this for STUDENTS AND LEARNERS OF ARABIC (get your attention?) because Arabic hip hop/rap is FANTASTIC for improving your colloquial Arabic and learning new dialects. These rappers, for the most part, talk exactly like how people do in real life.

Most importantly, I WELCOME AND BESEECH YOU FOR ANY CORRECTIONS OR HELP WITH THESE SONGS OR WITH MY UPCOMING TRANSLATIONS, as I'm not a native Arabic speaker. Also, I'm almost done with my first batch of extended posts about Tunisia, Libya, and some prominent themes in Arabic rap music, so check back soon if you're interested. Thanks! Hope you find it interesting!

nice work brother

You have my support bro! Thumbs up!

what do u think about "wa2t el thawrgya" ?

Thank you for the support, guys!

Shehab Edin: I posted wa2t el thawrgya in June, but no one helped me with it :'( so I just translated it myself yesterday. It's pretty accurate, but, seeing as you're an Egyptian (from Revolution Records' stronghold of Alexandria, no less!), would you do me a huge favor and edit and correct it? I'd love it if you could help me out on a couple more Egyptian rap songs because my Egyptian needs some work.

I also just posted Message to General Tantawi by Ramy Donjewan. Any help or suggestions with it are welcome.

P.S. How much familiarity do you have with the Egyptian hip hop scene, Shehab Edin? Have you gone to any Egyptian hip hop shows? Do you know any Egyptian rappers?

Hey Shehab Edin, are you related the 27 year-old Ahmed Shihab-Eldin who's profiled in this article about Arab social media in al-Majalla?

By the way, if anyone has any requests for hip hop translations or Universal Subtitles versions of them, let me know!
