Sometimes, your mind just dig a song out of your deepest memories. You have the lyrics… well English is not your native langage but still, you have the melody in your head so you search for that song all over google. And then, your mind tells you “K’naan”. The singer’s name is “K’naan”. Here I am, 12 years later.
Jeese dudes, enough with the arguments, don't spread hate. Spread KINDNESS and LOVE. People who hate are unhappy themselves. You don't need to retaliate.
Damn straight. One could waste their life arguing with all the people that hate and still never change anything. That's why my philosophy is to just uplift the positive and disregard the negative. By arguing you are only feeding the hate. And even if people never change for the better, I will just have to forgive them, because quite frankly it is not worth my time and energy to get upset about.
Knaan is the posterboy for hope, he came from the worst possible situation, but be turned it around! he went from civil war to a recording studio...RESPECT
To the two flamers, one of which is top rated: Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. Stop using hate on each other when you come from the same lands. You are both children of this earth, do not fight over it's attention. Peace and love. [8]
just saw K'naan at the Spirit Bar, Nelson - with his Live Band - wow, wow, wow, so glad he came through here - who knows when I would have "discovered" him otherwise - integrity, brains...
I wish I could thank K'naan personally. This music has helped me see the error of my life style. helped me through a lot of weird times. its powerful, inspirational, and hopeful. a true artist...
@popi1496 two of my favorites man. id even throw damian marley in there, theres actually alot of good stuff out there. more bad than good musicwise but im happy with what i have. when i am above everyone else listenin to stuff like this, that alone makes me feel good. then theres the feel good the music itself gives you. idk if u followed any of that but much love
can´t help but his voice sounds kinda similar to lil waynes, yet a unique great musican he is . I like his lyrics, so much better than the comercial shit !
@supitsdosh i didnt say he was like em i said his style is simular because of the way he flows im not comparing his delivery because eminem has a delivery lyrical ability that cant be matched my fave after pac big and big l. but dude im just airing my opinion out dont hate appreciate
As bad as it is seeing racist comments, where I live I hear racist douche bags everywhere and I actually am scared of what is going to happen when my generation grows up and becomes the leaders. The people that leave shitty comments on here actually want the negative attention, so just ignore them and maybe they'll finally learn to just shut the fuck up and get a life that actually contributes to society.
@fkucnts1 why can't you see past peoples skin color and nationality. Focus more on our similarities and solve our problems as a group. Like it or not we're all on this planet with each other and we're all people who want the best for our kids and each other.
Some people on these comments make me sick. Can't belive some people can be such losers that they need to put down other people to make themselves feel better. Grow up and talk bout the music not bout yur insecurities.
I agree with defending Somalia but, where in his comment did you see him showing pride to the "white race" I didnt see that at all. For all I know he is Chinese, Japanese, Jamaican, Pakistani or Sri Lanken. Maybe you need to take a look in the mirror before being so quick to play prejudice. Not to mention if one is white you make it sound like it is bad to have pride in it. Why wouldn't you want to have pride in who you are? White, black, brown or anything else have pride in who and what you are
@jeterman14 dude 50 cent deserves no respect from me as a hip hop fan. he doesnt make hip hop AT ALL. he makes pop music, he might as well be a 17 year old white girl singin on stage. his music has no depth or reality to it, and your mistaken because knaan has plenty of fame he has even been on MTV. but your right he doesnt want to be like 50 cent because he isnt a sellout.
I really hope you honestly feel like a man being prejudice against people who are less fortunate than you I really don't usually reply to ignorant things like this but you claim your ancestors are educated you clearly are not educated by insulting entire groups that are less fortunate than you for no reason what's so ever it's time to open and actually educate yourself so the world doesn't fall back into a time where a race rules over a race and btw what color is the skin of your leader?
At least the people is Somalia have some respect. How would you feel if you only got one meal per day while people around the world are living large spoiled pointless lives. Next time you decide to post something like this try to think with whatever brain you have left.
even though you are trolling, to even think its funny to kid about such things is sickening. You think its funny to make considerate people mad, but its not. Go beg for attention from your mom.
10 years later this still dope
Yup

I wish I never heard this because it makes the regular version not as good. I love you.
this was the original, then they re-did the album version...which has some cool flow variance but not as good as this version

This guy is amazing. If he was born in America he would be huge right now. But he's gettin' there by himself, such a man, he's been through some shit
“My season will come it has to honestly I feel like I'm ten month pregnant or some I'm past due”
K'naan has given me much greater respect for Somalia.

@popi1496 two of my favorites man. id even throw damian marley in there, theres actually alot of good stuff out there. more bad than good musicwise but im happy with what i have. when i am above everyone else listenin to stuff like this, that alone makes me feel good. then theres the feel good the music itself gives you. idk if u followed any of that but much love

this is some good shit right here.
this guy^
thumbs up if you LOVE KNAAN!!!
I need this song on an Instrumental!! please
Realness
can´t help but his voice sounds kinda similar to lil waynes, yet a unique
great musican he is .
I like his lyrics, so much better than the comercial shit !
what happened to Knaan? Why he doesnt make new music?
hopefully, i've been feeling the lack of this
If you think Eminem is better go and listen to his music.
Problem solved :)
btw I like both of them:)
@supitsdosh i didnt say he was like em i said his style is simular because of the way he flows im not comparing his delivery because eminem has a delivery lyrical ability that cant be matched my fave after pac big and big l. but dude im just airing my opinion out dont hate appreciate
@weaksauce415 for real, thank you.
@tanker0wns1 Well, that's the problem with collective hate...
Oh the obvius trolling.
@rhymeweever Dope
fucking great
KNAAN :)
knaan feat eminem
do you have a sister named Brooklyn alvarez? I don't know why I am asking but I have a feeling you do.
@ShadySouljahv2 When I said His, i meant that K'naan is better.
day 2: still searching for "giants2k8"'s comment.. i guess it will rain one more day!
@giants2k8 lol K'naan isn't a rapper like eminem, K'naan is a philospher
i never said he did, eminem is one of the best in the rap industry, if you disagree your probably ignorant to race but hey, if thats your thing
@Stevenzegthoi NO fucking way lol
i do like knaan a lot but I think eminem's music is better, while I like knaan as a person more, I admire his values.
As bad as it is seeing racist comments, where I live I hear racist douche bags everywhere and I actually am scared of what is going to happen when my generation grows up and becomes the leaders.

@giants2k8 how the fuck is that like eminem?
Good music, better than that wavin flag song
happy he's account is terminated check it
Wow, sometimes he really sounds like Eminem. Without the sociopathic lyrics, of course.
@fkucnts1 why can't you see past peoples skin color and nationality. Focus more on our similarities and solve our problems as a group. Like it or not we're all on this planet with each other and we're all people who want the best for our kids and each other.
If you're filthy rich I highly doubt u even pay ur taxes -_-
Well then you're not familiar with the way drug dealing works. Esp. when there are multiple gangs in the same area.
What?
@waankujeclahay1 he not gay.
Im not saying a disagree with you, but the crips most certainly do not have beef with the bloods just for wearing red...
i hope u gained alittle sanity in the last 6months
Sounds like Lil Wayne, but his lyrics are better.
such an amazing song! it inspired me to write my own version; check out "Strugglin'" on my channel and let me know what you guys think.
Some people on these comments make me sick. Can't belive some people can be such losers that they need to put down other people to make themselves feel better. Grow up and talk bout the music not bout yur insecurities.
@DrCooper1992
?!@?@!?
@giants2k8 K'naan is better than eminem..
i like to fart
um... dictionary please? lol

what's wrong with you. Are your parents related?
