You mean those 600.000 men, women, and children freed themselves? Man, all this time I thought God did it.

anti-enviromental? clearly, chop em down is a metaphor he is using, and not a call to chop down the rain forests. this is the story of the slaves in egypt liberating themselves, and then "walk through the desert". in the desert, there arent forests to be chopping down, only the oppressor. as for him being a religious fanatic, well, that would describe many reggae musicians. rastafari and hasidism are pretty similiar, and the themes in matisyahu's music are the same as most rasta roots music only he says hashem instead of jah.

yes reference bob marley's "small axe" Its cool to hear the esoteric judaism in reggae beats coming at me. always meant to study it some - now i can put it off longer for the cliffs notes of music - nice lyrics
