K'naan Ft. Kirk Hammett - If Rap Gets Jealous

[gr3u4ever]

You know what makes this song even cooler? Kirk accompanies K'naan in singing the chorus.

[NicoEmma1]

Wow, very good song. 

[fuckinabot]

Just amazing 

[molesticles]

Otis, Otis Redding was his name, without his soul for singing, this whole world wouldn't be the same...

Can someone tell me what song thats from please? been wondering for years.

[Mr13born79]

@molesticles ("a tribute to a king"  william bell)

[molesticles]

@Mr13born79 Bless you

[metalbanger100]

[KirkSmammett]

[KirkSmammett]

[MrKrayzeeKrysis]

[Rokudomukuro60]

If Rap gets jealous (of Metallica?) Not a band song and i like the mix of his voice and of kirk hammet riff

[metazezma]

Gonna go ahead and let you skip to Kirk's solo. >>> 2:13

[coasterfreak5928]

Kirk went from metallica to rap. wow hahaha

[luvudarren1]

@coasterfreak5928 Kirk Hammett is a guitarist, and a real GUITARIST can play to any kind of genre. stop being ignorant

[coasterfreak5928]

@luvudarren1 I didnt say he couldn't im just saying thats kinda funny hahaha

[SRBdubstepper]

@coasterfreak5928 hes making cash money id do the same

[nigablunt123]

kirk wtf happened

[TheDismalDream]

AMAZING! i think the best song i haven't heard since 2006!

[ThatIncredibleJordan]

K-OS>Knaan

[pspvampire]

Fuckin beast song. I hate rap but this song does everything right.

It has a decent melody, it has a harmony, it's quite powerful, it's catchy and most importantly, it has a good backing! Rather than an artificial, ringtone sounding sound effect played over and over and over. :P

[molesticles]

This is actually my favourite k'naan tune bar somalia..... you got any other [oint of view , then give me a reason to rip your opinion apart! With love from Kevin XXX

[INVADERskier161]

6 rappers got jealous...oh wait.

[Snowy123]

Honestly I think this beat is already good it makes knaan what he is he doesn't need million dollar beats to make his songs hell these beats even make the song special so fuck a beat from kanyeeze

[ravensall22]

i think if he diddnt have Kirk in it it would suck

[pittypopo]

@ravensall22 the original version has the same riff... the quality isnt as good but i like the original too

[luvudarren1]

woot woot. Metallica is awesome

[mudkiprules4]

Just having Kirk Hammett in this makes K'naan badass

[metallicasoadslipkno]

i love KIRK HAMMETT,....METALLICA

[omgih8you]

kirk hammett is the best guitarist ever!!!!!!

[coolguy12333]

this is an amazing song....i was kinda leery  with knaan and kirk doing a song at first but after i listened to this i was absolutely amazed

[MrTheyankeefan]

K'Naan is underrated. He is 50 times better than most other rappers/artists in the game right now

[Leshaze420]

Verp poppy chorus but damn I love that song:D

[JulRog]

Holy Shit this is awesome!!! Kirk is the man and K'naan is a great rapper. That's the real rap!

[BazMataze]

He's the best rapper so far which has understood rap and he's Muslim!

[mafkeesos]

only reason im listening to this is for kirk he still pwnz everyone

[Evil6000TheGreat]

tuuune :D !!

[BibleTrippin]

Be the love you want to see in this world!!

[Finalsabre]

TUUUUUUUUUNNNNEEEEE!!!!!!

[slayisinsanified]

kirk hammett how could you sellout...i mean yup i expected slash to sellout since he's jamming with fergie, but you???.... FUCK YOU!!!

MEGADETH OWNS THESE FAGS, too bad nobody in here will agree...

[slayisinsanified]

@ThunderThighs95 *sigh* pathetic...

[jaderoxas]

@slayisinsanified because you are the only one motherfucker here who doesn't appreciate music!!..

[ThunderThighs95]

@jaderoxas Agreed.

[mufan4ever]

@slayisinsanified Well considering k'naan wasnt popular when kirk hammett did this collaboration with him then i dont see how this is selling out

[slayisinsanified]

@mufan4ever told you no one in here will agree...btw what i mean by sell out is that metallica in its all entirety, they tend to change genres from "thrash, nu ,soft and now this bullshit". their just in it for the money since they change genre's whenever a style gets popular...and what is kirk trying to do... copy tom morello???

look at megadeth they started with thrash metal and up till now their sticking to their roots...i don't expect you hip-hop fags to agree or understand this...SAD :((

[poopymcdoopy]

@slayisinsanified Wow you have no clue what you are talking about. Pity.

[slayisinsanified]

@poopymcdoopy trust me baby i do ;)

[WolfangAurus]

@slayisinsanified Well... My opinion is that Exodus started Thrash Metal. Sadly, Black Album was made for the mainstream. After this, Metallica's mission was getting fans of everywhere, not metal listeners. That sucked, because Metallica was not metal anymore. Megadeth, Slayer, Testament, Exodus, Anthrax and Sepultura (another two that lost their thrash style since Dollabella went out and Derrick), were the ones to maintain the good face of thrash metal.

[WolfangAurus]

@WheresMySpaceButton To trash metal... I believe so. But not to thrash metal lol. Believe me, Metallica's thrash metal finished since Master of Puppets, and Poser metal, or the Metallica's "Thrash Metal" for mainstream began in the Black Album. Now the dog can consider a metalhead because it can have on his iPod just Metallica w/ Justin Bieber

[WolfangAurus]

@WheresMySpaceButton Well in this question it's true, but the majority of the people was been guided by their forward discs (Load and ReLoad) calling it thrash metal. And another thing, Metal's idea was being underground, but well Metallica launched TBA, and people thought "Thrash metal? interesting" and thrash metal songs don't have rhythm or melody, because it is speed metal. So it was heavy metal. I just listen to their four discs and no more.

[WolfangAurus]

@slayisinsanified The point is that Megadeth, Exodus, Testament and Slayer are the only ones that are still sticked to their roots. But well, you are of the ones that understand well the situation. That 's good to know the group is growing

[slayisinsanified]

@WolfangAurus WOW!!! finally someone here gets what I'm saying ^^

btw, all the bands you mentioned above FTW!!!

[poopymcdoopy]

@slayisinsanified

I don't even remember what I said to you, but chances are it was warranted. So most likely, you don't, baby.

[Andrewtaker007]

@slayisinsanified What the fuck?????

Megadeth starded thrash metal????!!!!!!!

hahahahaha!!!! It's a joke right?

Megadeth started in 1983

Metallica was before in 1981,and WITHOUT Mustaine,the first ever Metallica's guitar player was Lloyd Grant, not Dave Mustaine.

In fact Megadeth started after Slayer(another thrash metal big)

[slayisinsanified]

@Andrewtaker007 i never said megadeth started thrash : /

[LEMIAS91]

@slayisinsanified :

awwww shut up! u need 2 b more open minded 2 things! i wouldnt want 2 keep playing the same music wen im almost 50 years old either, mayb he wanted 2 do something new so shut up 4 gods sake!...

[slayisinsanified]

@LEMIAS91 pffft...you got nothing else to say?that's it? looooool :D

[LEMIAS91]

@slayisinsanified :

well fuck i have more important things 2 do than just repying 2 some dumb ass on youtube! thats nice ur a big metal fan, and so am i, but stop calling some 1 a sellout just cuz he wanted 2 do something new, its his life u know...

[6metall6maniac6]

amazing song, kirk hammett is fucking gun k'naan awsome rapper

[ThunderThighs95]

Africa doesn't seem so bad anymore. :)

[trodbigdaddy]

wow nice song



[frapacino]

This is just fucking awesome! K'naan is a great rapper, Kirk one of the best guitarists alive right now. It just blows my mind to hear this!

[WillardE4]

if rap get jealous it can suck my dick, lil'wayne...you listening?

[grandtorro]

wow freaking nice 

[ElectricBlueOil]

Having Kirk Hammett play guitar for you, there's no way you could lose!

[blagmusic]

Wow, this is proppa!

[92julien92]

Awesome song and an fantastic solo at 2:20 xD Love it !

[MetallicaSerbia]

Can someone tell me Kirk Hammett is a Muslim or no? His surname sounds like he is a Muslim, K`naan is a Muslim, something tells me that Hammett is half Muslim, half Christian, please answer somehow :).

[vergilg]

@MetallicaSerbia I believe Kirk said he was a Buddhist.

[MrGorod]

@MetallicaSerbia no different if he is muslim or chiristian yoow man songer is k'naan nd song is if rab gets jelous nd i thnk u get jealous lol sorry man..

[MetallicaSerbia]

@MrGorod I didnt understeand you anything, sorry

[Kovan2007]

@MetallicaSerbia I think what he is trying to say is that it doesnt matter what religion he is

[MetallicaSerbia]

@Kovan2007 OK, I just asked

[WyldeSlashHammet93]

holy crap! sorry everyone i hate rap, i love metallica and kirk hammett is the guitarist...so i checked out this video and i love this song! this knaan guys good! haha first rap thing ive enjoyed for a loooooooooooooong time

[timcrow420]

@WyldeSlashHammet93

I love metal and rap too man, you should youtube Tech N9ne, The Dirtball, and Hed (pe) I think you will like those 3 artists, hed (pe) is a metal rap band, but tech and d-ball are solo rappers, well dirtball is in kottonmouth kings now but he kills it lyrically

[Chefblackstock]

I literally discovered this guy an hour ago and he is fucking awsome. I clearly can't relate to his music on the same level as some, so I'll just enjoy the music. Love the Waving Flags song too.

[SnaixOnAPlane]

Yeah fuck Lil Wayne, this shit is whats good.

[skotcaue]

There are two different songs, that's why. One came from an album a few years back. The Dust Foot Philosopher. Look it up.

[ahroxw]

saw k'naan live in concert in toronto best concert shit ever if you have the chance GO TO A CONCERT OF HISSSSS

[GEOrgetheson]

for who skepic about knaan's RAP/ROCK YES IT IS A RAP/ROCK AND GONNA I HEARD HE HAS I

[mrkjamlin]

ive never cared for hip-hop and rap but this is just awesome

[08RunThaSho]

@mrkjamlin u have to understand that rap and hip hop are 2 dif things tho

[exkimo64]

Support Canadian and Somalian Hip Hop!

Also look up other great Canadian artists like K-Os, Shad, Shaun Boothe, Rascalz, Maestro Fresh-Wes, Classified, Prince Ali.

I suggest Shad K - The Old Prince Still Lives At Home

If you like The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air I guarantee a liking for this video... also Shad K is from London, Ontario, Canada for those who read about him and read that he's from London and wonder why doesn't have an accent. (there is also a Paris, Ontario btw, for more confusion)

[ArtBeatsNB]

K'Naan is one of the greatest rappers since Tupac (totally different from Tupac obviously)

More importantly, he is the greatest poet since Bob Dylan. Hands down.

[6metall6maniac6]

haha u can just tell its a mighty kirk hammett solo. fuck hes jus awsome

[Menooy22]

i like the other verison, can't find it doe

[madap15]

why r there two different sets of lyrics to this song???? i understand one is with kirk hammet playin guitar. but why r the lyrics different??

[gman2152]

I'm gonna change it up and put my lyrics on it! What they gone do? Nothin. I'm a put it All over YouTUBE!

[javier232]

man i wish rap was more like this where the lyrics actually mean something other than money,cars,and girls and where they have a little bit of rock elements to it

[xxSuperAsianxx]

I know what you mean. People like Soula boy and lil weezy have killed rap.

[BrownSoundkishan]

thank you!!, someone knows what ive been thinking for a loooooooong time

haha

[samirfarooq25589]

@xxSuperAsianxx lil weezy tha shit niga wa yu tripin on? leme try som o that shit still

[Boomfist7316]

@xxSuperAsianxx Agreed when you mention Soulja Boi, I highly doubt that he can even read and I already know that someone is going to comment on this trolling because I said that but I highly disagree with you when it comes to Lil' Wayne. He is actually a very smart person, with a degree, that knows what people want to hear (most people) and depending on the song his lyrics aren't bad either.

[HRVproductions]

@xxSuperAsianxx  FUCKINN TRUEEE!!!!

[Jaggerx33]

yeah same. but songs about money and cares are the ones what get popular.. :S

[javier232]

yeah all of those mainstream songs only last a couple of months then perople get tired of them but songs like these go on forever

[bunghole211]

it's wierd that they play this song on wgrd

[dheerejibril]

"they trying to shot me since i was to feet"

[pkleck]

"two feet"... like, a child.

[fereyland92]

i am black and i love ACDC awsome vocals on the electric getaur

[LadyZenhira]

Why the Hell is everyone talking about Metallica and not K'naan?

Go talk about Metallica on Metallica videos, leave these ones alone.

[13heavymetal]

agreed but at the same time, its huge for an up and comer like knaan to have someone so established as kirk hammett on thier track. knaan is definately worthy though.

[KingFuchisia]

Maybe its a good thing no one is talking about k'naan. Seems like all they have to say is "K'naan stole the beat,etc...". Fuck the haters hes a boss

[BijanMetallica]

Hey moron, if you haven't notcied the track features Kirk Hammett from Metallica, who are rock legends.

[Floetry30]

this is off of dusty foot philosopher also the verses are just changed

[csifan17]

yea, the lyrics are from the dusty foot philosopher, and this  (let's call it remix) is from troubadour.

[ddouglas8622]

ACDC OWNS!

[supperskillz]

I'm a hip-hop head, when my uncles were listening to Metallica, I was rocking Run DMC and Public Enemy cuz of my babysitter but I've always liked metallica too, so basically quit hating on other peoples success is all im saying.

[chelsea00boss]

Metallica were on Rock n roll hall of fame ,,month ago ,,,and ..they really deserve ..it ..yes its the best band of all time ..

[crazyyungsta08]

dude u havent really seen metallica live have u?

[poopdeckh1tman]

i agree mitalica sucks!

[sicodilacacy]

metallica fukin rocks freakin asses how can u not like them their god to rockinroll retards....... this message is towards pkleck, jessica"ROCKS"theweb, nayha96!!!!!!! wow seriously!!

[pkleck]

I'm sorry I have different preferences?

[pkleck]

Metallica is okay, but they just aren't my favorites. Lars Ulrich is a dick, but Kirk Hammett is definitely one of my favorite guitarists.

[jessicarockstheweb]

well maybe some people don't like rock.

[FarinUrlaub000]

you dont like rock but why is your name here jesica ROCKS the web?

[nayha96]

its other peoples opinions it doesnt matter if you dont agree you dont need to swear at ppl and go crazy , oh and i dont like metallica ... oh mettalica sucks and whoever likes it sucks to , dont you think thts unfair ( p.s i dont really think hu ever likess it sucks it was an example)

This Msg Was Towards :

Poppintaco

[crazyyungsta08]

haha chodes

[AjCrazyEh]

I don't like Metallica because they don't appeal to me. I'm sure you don't like a lot of the stuff I like, I'm not telling you you have a bad taste in music or telling you to shut the fuck up.

[ErockUMD]

this song is sick...and the people below me have horrible taste in music...metallica is legendary...rock and roll hall of famers! suck it

[megazordz]

the original rules, but this version rules harder. k'naan just rules in general.

[tehfemo]

does anybody have the lyrics to this version?

[GonzalezR8]

i think the original one sux but this one kicks ass

[davewigger935]

obviously you're more of a metallica fan than k'naan because the original is 100x as good

[AjCrazyEh]

Really? Because I friggin' hate metallica and I prefer this version. It just feels so much more livid and powerful.

[davewigger935]

oh i hate metallica too. so its cool. Peace man

[eritreamy1luv]

yeah this version is so tight!!

[JamieBodz]

cant believe he made this song sound better,,awesome artist

[bigkeen30]

This is my third comment for this song, but i just have to say it again Totally 89x

[krazysilk]

if like really music . i music that u wouldn't hear a word call bitch or a hoe . now that is really music ...K'naans New Album (Troubadour) is crazy. please spread the really music....

[davewigger935]

dude, but the original is 10x as good, listen to it

[Conley800m]

The original version of Rap Gets Jealous is so weak...

[davewigger935]

dude no

[Conley800m]

Dude yes. The remix has so much more feeling in it.

[pkleck]

Totally agree. The original is good, but damn, this one pumps me up!

[bigkeen30]

anyone who liked this song, theres another rap/rock song out there its called handlebars

[davewigger935]

dude thats an awesome song

[bigkeen30]

redsoxfan what stations do you get, becuase i can tell you what station it plays on, becuase i listened to it about ten times today. HEll YEAH Awesome song

[redsoxfan591]

You guys are lucky, all my radio plays is Soulja Boy, Akon, and Lil Wayne..

[LaPorteReport]

[xxxkraz13xxx]

[sessionsworth]

[andykuna]

The 91.1 aka 91X also plays this song a lot, here in San Diego, CA.

[haileySCREAM]

X107.5 plays this song all the time. :)

A lot of people like K'Naan.

[sp54584]

There is a radio station in Los Angeles, it's called 106.7 KROQ. That radio station started playing this song about 5 weeks ago, and it was on the top 10 charts for 4 weeks straight. I never get to hear this song very often, and this song is awesome! Los Angeles really does have great radio stations.

[tallica111]

this is the shit that needs to be on the radio, not this car,money,girls shit that s on the radio, that gets old fast

k'naan is one of the bestt rappers

[foolishbob]

In Detroit MI, Its always on the radio. idk where your from but its actually on an alternative rock station.

[quantum]

89x <333 Best thing since sliced bread in Ozzy's face haha.

[deathking26]

Yeap i live on the ohio/ Michigan border and i get 88.7 or aka 89x. They play this song a lot. Gotta give it up for 89x the best alternative rock station out there.

[RATMCatalyst]
