Mos Def's "The Rape Over," which uses the instrumental from Jay-Z's "Take Over" has reportedly been pulled from future pressings of The New Danger. Though there's no official word on the track's removal, Mos comments about, "quasi homosexuals" and a "tall Israeli running this rap sh!t" are believed to have caused the controversy. The latter reference is suspected to be a stab at former Def Jam honcho turned Atlantic Records boss, Lyor Cohen.
