(Click here to catch up on the M.M./O.B.L. feud.) By now you might have heard that the Osama tape was 18 minutes long, but only 6 minutes have been released. I think there might be something to this, because somehow I got on the al-Jazeera mailing list by mistake and I just watched the whole tape. The very last part of the missing 12 minutes was particularly noteworthy:
[THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED. MY ARABIC IS FARPOTCHKET MAYBE, SO SUE ME.]You think I am to be treated as one would treat a goat
Attempt to laugh, Marshall Mathers, with my sandal on your throat
Try to step to me with your decadent western ways
And you will get popped like a bag of Frito-LaysMy beard is long, and it is not the only part
As you will discover when I go in where you fart
Not in a homosexual way, in the eyes of Allah the Great
But as punishment for the crime of playa-hateMess with O.B.L.
You will go see Hell
Mess with O.B.L.
You will go see Hell
Try proddin' Bin Laden
And my crew will kick your rod in
Mess with O.B.L.
You will go see HellPeace
[TAPE ENDS]
I was right!

Don't call my girl a skeezer,
cuz ya know I've got me four-a.
I got an Alfonso Ribiero Breakboard
in my crib at Tora Bora.
I'm stylin' like a Talib
with an overdose of MadLib.
The Al-Q Krew doesn't front
so quit yer droolin' or wear a bib!
