  • K'naan is Canadian. No offense to anyone but if Somalia was a nice place to live I'm guessing he would have stayed there. He's great live...saw him with a group of less than 100 packed into the basement of the University Center...before he was famous.

  • "And any man who knows a thing knows

    He knows not a damn, damn thing at all"

  • Troubadour is not K'Naans' Debut album. Its a great album but his earlier work on The Dusty Foot Philosopher is too life changing to miss out on

  • I hope he blows up and gets the fame he deserves been a fan since the 08

  • I Just Love It <3

  • wow, How did I not here of this before?!? this song is really good

  • Let's Go Troubadour!

  • This rapper deserves every publicity he gets, i remember the time where this song only had 1k views on youtube, until his song: wavin flag. Got featured in the Fifa cup. This guy should be the nmbr 1 rapper and not the talentless autotuned Lil wayne and T PAIN.

  • I dont understand how anyone can dislike such a beautiful song..

  • amazing song

  • is odey shirwac in this video

  • people should listen to this then to go to therapery

  • Fricken listening to this in 2012 ! <3 <3 <3333 I can't get enough .

  • One day you will eradicate the "thug" label of black people. You are an amazing artist who shows that your people need not show their tattoos and huge muscles as a symbol of masculinity or your ladies amazing sexy bodies so they could sell records. The lyrics you make are sincere and courageous. A new kind of artist is born ^_^

  • @ChasingAurora20 You said "black people". I think it's artists like this, black or white, hispanic or what be it, that makes humanity shed these fads that are detrimental to society. Ignorance to common knowledge, education or just plain reasoning is not cool. However, I will fight to my last breath defending the freedom they enjoy. I just hope we can all stop fighting each other, so that all may enjoy the freedom and equality that we do, these things are not too much to ask for.

  • @ChasingAurora20 Bang Bang goes against that...

  • @matthewcardinals "Do you listen to music or do you skim through it"

  • @rpg23245 I fuck bitches and I get money. 

  • @ChasingAurora20 People who have the idea in their mind are the ones regressing any progress. Just leave it. People are people.

  • This guy's AWESOME!!

  • @ChasingAurora20 I don't think so, look at the left corner, why is there Tygga wearing two golden watches and has his body full of tatoo?

  • KNaan

  • 153 pepole took a hour...

  • @DPuddin023 *an hour

  • @TheGroundSS Its "a" but nice try kiddo

  • @junkydog7 The English language has many exceptions; "hour" is one of them in which the "h" is silent and "an" is used as the preposition.

  • very nice:)

    

  • They always play this song on my local radio station. God bless them :')
