  • @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.

  • @Fattyfoam ...yeah but have u heard "Tv on the radio" by wale featuring K'naan? damn!! K'naan murdered the track hands down!!

    I'm Nigerian by the way...haha...

  • african pride son we in thier

  • This is the deepest and most heartfelt song on the album! This song is of great importance. I'm now a K'Naan fan.

  • probably best track on this mixtape!

  • K'NAAN DAAAMMMNNN!

  • 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

  • K'Naan goes toooooooooo fucking hard on this one!

  • They Fukkin Ripped That Shit!!!!!!

  • Is the beat Fela Kuti or is it just Afrobeat

  • @UrPhreshness im thinkin fela. i'd have to ask my dad to confirm. it'd be sick if it was tho.

  • best song wale and knaan have ever done

  • u got twisted bro K'naan is Somali.

  • my favorite song...well all of the songs on the mixtape my fav

  • 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

  • k'naan is from Somalia

  • K'naan is Somalian/Canadian

  • @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

  • sick ass beat...wales new album is dope

  • 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!!

  • K'Naan and Wale make a great combination...just like in "TV in the Radio".

  • OMG....mad fiya yo!

  • do ya, read before you post, its like eight of yal sayin "its a sample Feler Song Fear". I fear for you. Your way to excited.

    anyhow, good song

  • Wow samplin a Fela song, Wale uve done too much man, Waleeeeee, Naija Stand up!! Bmore chillin

  • the track features amadou and miriam and samples fela kuti.

  • 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.

  • This song is hard

  • ya sound dumb younggunna that is not traditional somali music its like west african music

  • "that is not an ice cream truck that's a coroner"

    Wooo Waleeeeeeeeee!

  • Great tune, great song

  • Versatility is what this song captures for both artist. Many artist cannot freak this beat. This is a symbol. Thanks for the upload!

  • its definitely a fela sample but that aint Fela singing of course.

  • abracadabra mixin potions from African forests

    they make an ill duo...i need to hear more from these two

  • its not french its traditional somali music

  • "horoscopes couldnt scope my horrors" - K'naan. that was one of the hottest lines on the song.

  • yeah this is a fela sample...water get no enemy, thats the name of the song.

  • yes, it's a fela sample (and it also features amadou & miriam) but it's not from "water no get enemy".

  • what fela song is it?

  • 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.

  • It is a sample of Fela's song FEAR. Take a listen.

  • Woow hot track. K'naan ,Wale ,Umrick.

  • um ricka= america

  • name makes me laugh hahaha

  • nice

  • I stand corrected it is a fela sample with amadou and miriam on the track

  • shut up bolu, then agan this sound like dare

  • this cant be a fela sample the guy is speaking some kind of french on it i been dieing to find out what it is

  • it's french.. they are saying: Demagogies dans la politiq Ce n'est pas bon, ce n'est pas bon

    nous n'en voulons pas. just stuff in the government they dont like. this track is crazy.

  • It is a sample of Fela's song FEAR with amadou & Mariam singing in the beginning.

  • Wale and Knaan samples Fela's song FEAR. Mos Def has used this song before also with Fear Get No Man.

  • this is produced by 9th wonder, let's not forget about him.....Him being the producer HE sampeled the Fela song....

  • It's actually not produced by 9th.
