    I noticed that K'naan never recorded a mindless or meaningless song unlike most of the music in the radio today. he just does more love songs than back in the days, but still he's one of the best and a very conscious poet.

    hip-hop isn't just about about guns it's about are struggle. So from afrika bambaataa to tupac to nas to will smith(old music) and now Knaan it's all in the game. Peace to my brothers in america; peace to my brothers in south america(you know who you are); peace to the aborigines in Australia; peace to the aborigines on the earth(they know the have no original people; peace to the brother and sisters in the motherland(from morocco to Nigeria and from Somalia to south africa). Peace to all black

    God this is a breath of fresh air.
    I'm so tired of main stream rap. It always about drugs sex and money. This is like older rap, where they actually made music about something passionate, and something that mattered, not just about their "Cash money"/"Money in the bank"
    Seriously, this is one of the best rap songs I've heard.
