Rapper sounds off at social discord

Israeli Arab rapper Tamer Nafar's politically-charged lyrics have sparked the same kind of controversy that may have made his hero Tupac Shakur proud.

Nafar, from the pioneering rap group DAM, has touched a nerve with songs like Who's the Terrorist? skewering what he and others say is discrimination against Arabs in Israel.

He has become a star among Israel's Arab population and Palestinians, but Israeli Culture Minister Miri Regev, a former military censor with a combative style, is not a fan.
