He reminds me of my father, He sits by himself and watches people like that too and i have found that i do too. It feels good to see a rapper that you have something incommon with. Spread the african love kKnaan
i think k'naan isa great artist but i really think hes just playing into this whole artsy new age underground movement like oh I love a great artistic film or novel, it's almost like he's saying it to fit a certain mold, i could very well be wrong but it doesn't really sound genuine to me.
@pmc820 I agree that many people are saying this, but I disagree with the fact that he says it to fit a certain mold. I think that he is inspired by ideas that films and books have to offer, as well as the inspirations you receive from watching human behavior at not only the good deeds, but the bad as well. It's something I admire about him, the fact he can see the ideas and meaning inside of things and what is represented, not just what is spoon fed to you.
just discovered k'naan today and i think that his will be the first album i will actuall BUY in YEARS!!!! the guy is just too respectable!! and some of his tracks have got a crazy Bass line!! a good role model for a lot of ppl. respect to k'naan!
that dosent mean he is innocent...hes maybe not that type of guy to be in a strip club...thats not me either! hes from africa...hes not associated with the urban fast life!!!
please can someone tell me wher i can find the poem knaan recites at the United nations conference cant find it anywher heard its krazy potent as most of his music is
i like this guy and he said nothing to the effect of "hating" strip clubs. but like any decent human being (of which i am not) he pointed out things that made him uncomfortable in them. and rightly so.
He is Muslim, It shouldnt be that hard to imagine that the Strip club is not his style and its kinda sad that when someone is not talking bad about women or degrading them we find it very hard to understand why not.
I know a stripper who got $250 for a thong. She said she carries a bag of them to work cos people always wanna buy them. Thats the extent of things, it goes beyond just getting paid off lap dances, they get tips also, plus they do private shows. And no I didn't fuck the stripper
There are no strippers getting paid 100k per month. Maybe, per year, but that's the case for only a couple of strippers in top class strip clubs. However, I know a strip club in California which the strippers get paid 150K per year. It's insane! So don't say shit without information man. 100K a month is 1 million per year so no man...not possible unless you provide information.
Correction... working at a strip club makes someone cheap because they allow hundreds of hormone driven men to gawk at them, they reduce themselves to become an aspect of a perverts imagination. It's disgusting, demeaning and wrong. If you need money that desperately look into McDonald's they're always hiring.
just because you work at a strip club that does'nt make you cheap or whores. You can't look down on people cause they make a living doing something you would'nt do.
i don't like strip clubs...but that's not the reason why i don't like them. I just don't know why people want to give money to girls when they not gonna get any ass from them. plus they garbage! hahaha...
yung1jizzle, how could you say TRUE hip hop came from strip clubs? Please tell me what True hip hope is b/c I didnt know there was one right kind of hip hop.
Hip Hop has a message and a story. Like true art, REAL Hip Hop transcends the norms that the Billboard Chart Toppers and Weekly top 40s can't seem to escape; money, cars, and clothes. A point of act, Hip Hop did not start in strip clubs. It began in the street with the B-Boys and B-Girls. It began with DJs like Kool Herc and Grandmaster Flash; artists like Melle Mel and Afrika Bambataa; and their Music had nothing to do with demeaning women. It was all about the beat. Check the facts, kid.
Totally true! A lot of hip-hop nowadays does demean women quite a lot, but that's still not what hip-hop is. Most of today's hip-hop is really quite meaningless and derogatory, and I find that the attitudes of many of my peers towards women, clothing, and money have been manipulated by the music they listen to to a very unhealthy point.
His Muslim upbringing and global way of thinking would certainly not land him in a place where a woman is reduced to a piece of meat to watch. Good role model for youngsters

But women like money. The strippers in Las Vegas makes a lot of money. In some strip clubs they get 40 dollar for a lap dance.
Now you maybe think that I go often to strip clubs but seriously I have only been one time in Las Vegas to strip club.
