@IdrisReeves the voice of the people are amadou & Miriam, But the instrument and the sound of it is fela's. so its basically the combination of Amadou and Miriam with fela's music playing in the background. Hope that helps.... LOVE WALE AND K'naan by the way.
@Mdishu thanks for postin dat comment. I just looked them up,heard they're version...frankly this version is way better but..i like da fact that they inspired wale to do this..plus i finally know what they were sayin..once again thanks!!

This song is fucking deep. Coming from a third-world country family, I can greatly understand the cultural confusion these guys went through. Not truly being part of either cultures, I can just imagine how it felt for them to find their true cultural identity. Struggling between being accepted in a highly materialistic society versus a highly corrupted and poverty-stricken society
@TUTOU almost makes you hate the capitalistic -socialist society we are becoming huh . oh well. but i do not think our society is as materialistic as many would believe just some sides of our Country is richer than others and they are taught to value wealth some have not been poor as your country has or similar but not as so therefore to know struggle and never want to go back yeah why why woudl anyone not love material possession you know what I mean but it s true youth and money valued alot
killer killer track!! Africans have indeed taking over hiphop. No offence to anyone! Just props. Check out WALE (dc/md by way of Nigeria) K'naan, M.I (Nigeria), Killz (Nigeria), Abodam (Ghanian), Colo Bondz (DC/MD by way of Nigeria), Skwata Camp, etc
@CliquesTv all of them are cool cept Colo Bondz sounds way to much like Jay Z with a fake accent also don't forget about Naeto C he comes thru again and again
It was actually produced by Mark Ronson,who incidently "discovered"Wale:I must say he did an impeccable job of capturing the afrobeat style popularized by Fela.Love it-Flowunfuckwidable,niggas impotent!!
Great beat. It would be nice for Wale to sample Fela. I hope this song goes BIG in T.I.A. Definitely sounds like Fela, but he does mention Amadou & Mariam. No, it is not Fela speaking, but it does not sound like Amadou either.
It is a sample of Fela's song FEAR. Mos Def sampled the same song for 'Fear Not of Man' Take a listen to all three songs and see how the samples were chopped and loop and sped up and slowed down.
i love wale's stuff, but that man can ramble on. if he just ended the song without smacking gum and talking at the same time at the end.
