matisyahu just means Matthew.
Just when you think you have heard it all. A Hebrew rapper singing praise to God in Yiddish.

turn the world up side down, if I remember correct, is OK, but im sure thats new testament :-)

He's GREAT!! I LOVE it.

FYI - there used to be a Hassidic rap group in New York called ......."Two Live Jew"

PS - most of this was in English ..... or am I channeling my inner Israelite.

Oy Vey!! They are great!

Oy Vey!! They are great!

This Kinky Friedman tune is my favorite
"They don't make Jews like Jesus anymore"
He may be running for Governor in Texas again soon.

yeah, I got his first CD a few years back--more reggae then. Don't know about his newer stuff

What a fun hijack - GO KINKY !!
That song of Kinky's is a beauty - a fab commentary on bigotry.

I get a kick out of the song he wrote when he was 11 - "Old Man Lucas." If you know it you will have a giggle. If not, it's a little early in the morning to share the lyrics. I teach it to kids when I want to really annoy their parents. (evil grin).

Kinky already ran for Governor of Texas. One of the planks in his platform was to outlaw the de-clawing of cats.

He also writes some really fun murder mysteries.

Do you mean "Old Ben Lucas"?

Yep Pug - Old Ben Lucas - thanks for the correction.
:-)
