K'naan- Smile

[jacobjettjazz]

his music deserves much more views then its getting

[johngotti5150]

love how he THINKS FAST

[PoeticAuthority]

"I was born where mother give birth while they frown", trust me thats true. After 15 buckets of blood just for giving birth who would smile lol.

[ballsofrock]

Thug mansion? lol

[chillyhallee]

haha me and my pals made a song to this earlier in the year. i can't remember were the beat came from but im fairly sure k'naan is'nt the original artist. can anyone tell me were it came from im just curious

[xoxoYouKnowYouLoveM3]

i love his voice ♥ and his style of music soo different

[6tony1gray4]

What kind of idiot would dislike this song? lrn2comprehend

[robertito8888]

K'naan turned Eminem lol

[jensypoops]

good message in this song :')

[Kunaimaster1000]

this song is such a good song to be dedicated to tupac

[Tyrkia123]

Rofl i have to report the dislike bug in this video.

[bosniancristianorona]

how come this isnt one of the top songs if this is not a top song in 2 months i will stop jacking off on airplanes 

[3rdShogun]

@bosniancristianorona LOL!!

[MegaDossa]

luvvvvvv ouuuuuuuuu keynaan



[fugginahole]

Re you people really comparing K'naan to Weezy F.uckin Baby? LOL kids these days *shrugg*?!

[Scooba87]

@fugginahole they must be some real dumb shits

[fugginahole]

@Scooba87 no doubt about it bro

[Keatonpeart741]

K'naan is amazing but lil wayne dont spit out crap

[PocketFire]

yeah he sounds like lil wayne only knaan doesnt spit pointless shit

[DragonNomak]

his voice is like Lil Wayne K'naan is great

[KGX16]

@DragonNomak unlike lil wayne k'naan is real and talks truth

[MrPressThat]

@KGX16 lil wayne's real too. He just makes music without content. Just like lady gaga, justin bieber and drake

[NinjaBroskiyoSki]

@MrPressThat Lil waynes real? I never knew putting your voice through a computer was real. Shit, you totally changed my outlook on music.

[MrPressThat]

@NinjaBroskiyoSki That is how pop music is nowadays. :(

[ZoeMyJesus]

@NinjaBroskiyoSki Wayne has put out real music (it's few and far between, but he has). Also, auto-tune can actually be cool if used tastefully, but it's rarely used that way in pop music.

@MrPressThat Lady Gaga's last CD was all about believing in yourself and being proud of yourself... a few of the songs at least. But, I also understand what you're saying with that.

People will like what they're going to like, some people don't enjoy music with depth. That's their loss. No need to hate.

[gibigbig]

@MrPressThat then thats not real :/

[Scooba87]

@DragonNomak its nothing like Lil Wayne dunno what you're smoking - but I want some

[cheegroslaya]

@amgryoclops ye i know that now so how can he use it? he buy the song off him or something

[11jacobsen]

its 2pacs thugz mansion:)

[Picky2106]

tired of getting shot at, tired of getting chased by the police and arrested. n***a's need a spot where we can kick it a spot where we belong thats just for us

[sneakyISawesome]

@Picky2106 its called jail bro

[streethustla24]

can we listen to the damn song  without arguing?

[cheegroslaya]

good song and everything but isnt this the beat to thugz mansion by tupac>???

[angryoclops]

@cheegroslaya it is

[lalantonio]

SO TRUE AND HIS VOICE IS SO UNIQUE

[BOSNIAK16M]

"war is no place for a child, especially if he is rolling with a ak-47 and a smile"

thats so true.man growing up i a war torn country aint easy.especially sence it was a civil war and they tried to wipe my people of the face of the earth.im proud to say im a muslim bosnian.

and this song is one of the best...

never let them see me smile while im bleeding

inshAllah people will get along one day and quit this stupid shit of hatred to one another.

SELAM to all

[MrDodobird101]

nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn­nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnice 

[APersoNWhoCareS3]

whens there going to be a videoo????? :(

[jibber951]

It doesn't matter what exactly it is... it's music, good music!

[chrisflyy11]

this song is the best, im glad to see that someone is bringing rap back.

[jjsmallz020]

i have a trouble calling this hip hop...its more like soul rap

[packermanfavre]

@jjsmallz020 its not rap, its soul hip-hop

[1906780]

mogadishu, somalia, the most violent city in the world, and he made it

[HEREFORDxXxBULLS]

sick song

[RickyDeHerrera]

who the fuck could dislike this

[HilleBilleMille]

LOOOVE this song!!!

[bofumytofu]

beat sounds like that scarface song

[bigmathafaka]

@bofumytofu it's actually from 2pac's song thugz mansion

[opprime1]

notice how many dislikes there are...7 to the 416 likes...K'naan is the man

[MrBuyanami]

he speaks the truth,...I too have only K'naan on my Iipod...he is at a different level compared to other music...that is why I have two ipods, just to make sure I dont contaminate his music with other junk I listen to.

[Compton3clipsed]

Lol anyone real here wouldn't open their mouth about anyone stealing anything from anyone, first of all Sampling is kind of a huge part of hip-hop, second K'naan said at the beginning this track is a collective of some his favorite stuff as the beats.

[Ninjaseye21]

i only have knaan on my ipod

[lisek005]

nice

[FunnyBunniful]

This song inspired me to look up in my life, to be be a bit happier, no matter what is going on in my life, and I even have the word "smile" tattooed on my wrist now, to help remind me...

[opprime1]

@FunnyBunniful good for you man

[xxjogabonitoxx09]

K'naan and Emmanuel Jal should do a song together. Sign the petiton!

[MellowmarshYunions]

jamaican ? somalian ? serious i thought he was african lol.

[VivaSomalia100]

@MellowmarshYunions he is african.... but he lived in somalia, mogadishu and went to toronto canada.... so he is canadian-somali

[egal14adan]

@MellowmarshYunions dumass somalia is a country africa is a contanent and somalia is in africa

[SomaliafricanQueen]

@MellowmarshYunions .hahaha did you say he was African? hahah I don't think you can be more African than being a Somali.But it is not your fault. Look up who are the cushites of Africa and you will know what I mean.

[rolio1]

@MellowmarshYunions Somalia is in east africa sir/ma'am, the most dangrous place on earth right now.

[pashun88]

@MellowmarshYunions He's Somali, and Somalis are East African. Look it up... on a Map of Africa.

[Wiseoldfart]

7 people choose to FROWN

[TupacAmaruShakur0777]

is the instrumental of the song thugz mansion by 2pac idk if pac got it off him or k'naan got it off pac

[IAmMartti]

@TupacAmaruShakur0777 of course K'naan got it from 2pac

[xxjogabonitoxx09]

@TupacAmaruShakur0777 you are an idiot K'naan wasn't an artist when 2pac was alive so 2pac could not have got the beat off K'naan

[TupacAmaruShakur0777]

@xxjogabonitoxx09 get fucked niggah i dont praise k'naan like you nigga how am i suppose to know that shit you little btich

[TheAbdimatn]

k"naan rock on!

[ScaredStraightUtube]

knaan you keep rap alive!! the beat is from 2pac- thugz mansion btw.

much luv!!!

[MiKeDoNaDiZZle]

sounds like a Jamaican eminem

[dannythejerk13]

@MiKeDoNaDiZZle to bad knaan aint jamaican...

[InvincibleIrishman]

@MiKeDoNaDiZZle Jamaican? seriously? He is Somalian. It is called Wikipedia...and it is your friend...

[OlympusMons23]

love that unconventional flow

[phildogifyable]

"War is no place for a child. Especially if he's rolling with an AK and a smile"

[scoobysnacksyume]

*Deep!

[tokinblckgie]

I'm picking this album up later this week. K'naan is quickly becoming my favorite artist. There's few people I'd go through the effort of picking up their entire catalog for and K'naan is definitely that person right now.

[AhmedOD20]

we definitely the people who smile while we bleeding... :)

[kandysalina]

why do people compare him with eminem?

[Daniel0112358]

@kandysalina

totally different attitudes and ways of dealing with their painful childhoods. but theyre both lyric geniuses

[MintyMangoMan]

Tupac wrote a song called smile

[smccoli230]

@MintyMangoMan

It's funny. I can see some similarities between K'Naan and Tupac. I mean, obviously they're from different places and backgrounds. But they both have(had) experiences that they could write about that would break down a normal person. They put these experiences into their songs. They didn't just put words on a paper that rhymed. Their songs have something to say.

[omaranii]

sum real shyt Knaan i feel yu!!! thumbs up

[maxieyellowbobpants]

K'NAAN IS THE REAL DEAL!!!

[Planetsfriend]

God Bless!

[homerunman28]

k'naan is the best!

[abcdevw]

nice =D

[ramandj1]

the beat is 2pac thug mansion

[Streetzisdeathrow]

@ramandj1 ye rite away i was like dayum he chose the best beat for his lyrics this version blew my mind to smitherines...the 1 i got downloaded the beat is diff i love pac so when i heard this beat it just melted into my mind now i cant get this song outa my head..the only other beat i think would really go good with these lyrics that tupac made was "Tupac - Smile"

[TurtlesThinkGreen99]

Pity how seven people are blind. They obviously missed the like button.

[fockya]

the bass on this this is soo loud!!! even on treble the bass still hits haha

[wolf1866]

wow this song is deeep, i love k'naan whoever thinks his songs are bull shit can go die, the truth always prevails... this is an example of a real rapper fuck you soldier boy

[ALDAJUSTE]

@wolf1866 its soulja boi lol but i agree with u.k'naans an original

[aj14127]

@wolf1866 hmm this is garbage sorry but I liked this song the first time around when tupac made it, its called thugz mansion.. real music died in the 90s

[demomanx]

@aj14127 i'd agree with you man the majority of the music now a days aint all that great, but i remember the first time i heard this track i wanted to blow it off cause i heard the beat of thugz mansion and i was like this guy could'nt compare but after listening to it i was blown away

[RickyDeHerrera]

@wolf1866 dont fer get fuck lil wayne

[12wwallace]

@wolf1866

[33BOY]

@wolf1866

actually its soulja boy.

an soulja boy is a fake anyways.

the original soulja boy was a member of the wu-tang clan back in the day.

he got shot up so yea.

but def go fuck yourself soulja boy

[Helltoy5]

@wolf1866 I dont think hate is the thing that K'naan wants to be used when compared to his music

[dajewbomb]

this song is 4:20 people. Smoke up and smile on....

[gentritnuhiu]

He is real from feet to head

[mattyboyz16]

@gentritnuhiu NAAAW! hes real from head to toe ;)

[xbox1141]

@gentritnuhiu head 2 toes :) but yea he is

[lynx821]

This guy is awesome...and Im glad that he is muslim, I mean that is kinda a great thing, cuz he says things from heart without being too sensitive (crying etc.) plus he doesnt swear in the music... :D :D

[dragunovful]

@lynx821 he does swear, but not much. He doesn't say it unneccessarely tho. He's the new Tupac Shakur

[p94mitch]

@dragunovful both are poets in the guise of rappers

[BCmountainDriver]

@p94mitch A rapper is a poet. Anyone who disagree's doesn't understand.

[BCmountainDriver]

@dragunovful Who cares whether an artist swears a lot or not at all? You say this like it is a quality that proves something. Swearing is simply a choice, not the mark of a bad or good person.

[dragunovful]

@BCmountainDriver hey shakespear, i was just pointing out he doesnt cuss a lot. Biggie cussed up a storm and im all east coast. that man made me proud to love rap.

[Daniel0112358]

@BCmountainDriver

plus it comes from habit, which is shaped by how ppl talked around you as a kid and language (how/when you learned the one youre speaking)

you can spit well w/ or without needing to swear, obviously

[gkid60]

Still his best song in my opinion... I like this beat so much better than the one on the song on dusty foot philosopher too

[p94mitch]

@gkid60 this is the beat from thugz mansion by tupac. its a great beat and both songs are great

[gr8isnate]

[TheKBarKid]

Never let em see you down, smile while bleedin!

[P4R50N5]

[theliterarycrowd]

[Master553300]

@theliterarycrowd i was just thinking that back when emnem was younger...

[iHairyBear]

i like his music but he uses other peoples beats a lot doesnt he...

[hallal55]

@iHairyBear all rapers used other ppls beats to man , beats that werent originally rap too !

[XDlizzXD]

@hallal55 RAPPERS not rapers. two COMPLETELY different things

[hallal55]

@XDlizzXD OOOO big deal guy spelling mistake kill me...its fuckin youtube

[olderthan1875]

K FFS just stop posting about how the beats from thugs mansion

WE KNOW

[tcorbett29]

the beats from tupac thugz mansion

[SSMunchMunch]

1.Cover your mouth with hand

2. Make wish

3. Close hand

4. Hold hand to heart for 5 second.

5.Send this to 3 other vids

6. Tomorrow will be best day of life

[themonkeyman12]

does anyone else enjoy the fact that the song is 4 mins 20 seconds long

[WillardE4]

@themonkeyman12 ur gonna have to be more clear on what ur trying to say.

[murfdurf2010]

he took the thugz mansion beat and did it something different...like

[fxingglamhobo]

why do people hate beiber?dont really like his music but hes only sixteen.......

[AfroBotSays]

@fxingglamhobo people hate ''artists'' that little kids die over

these artists are usually really young and have little talent. they will be over him once he gets about 18 wont hear a thing about em same thing happened to miley and the jonas brothers

[letsgot0]

this nigga sound like a retarded monkey

[anxq]

@letsgot0 So... I suppose you can sing any better? No? Didn't think so bro.

[mattmcfawn]

Amazing music. There's so much to it, a profound story behind each song.

[AliiBaba101]

@AureliusMaximus10 lol ur so wrong

[LegendaryZappyBoy007]

hmm....k'naan's rap voice sounds a lot like lilwayne.

[robbie2445]

@LegendaryZappyBoy007 yuck!!! nah i dont hear it, Lil Wayne sucks anyways

[wrmik123]

salaam ;) peace ;)

[on2streets]

k'naan really makes me smile with his lyrics they are very cool.

[wrmik123]

ftw :d

[DrFanderbiles]

Plain and simple one of the best songs out there.

[gigasflare]

assalamualikum brother K'NAAN!!

may peace be upon u bro.

May ur journey be the best as u travel arround the world =)

K'naan = Traveler xD

may peace be upon u =)

[lnkrx77so]

dis is awsum...jst listen 2 d lyrics carefully its soo meaninful..nt lyk d other rappers hu jst blab sumthing!!LOOOOOOOOV YA K'NAANN U ROC...

[ozoneman4]

Deep songs... Deep meaning... if you really understand k'naans song then you'll know every person - regardless of skin or culture or religion is same. Funny how anyone who supports this motion is considered lowly in our society. People like Soulja boy have 'songs' - crap in my opinion - get millions of veiws while the man who speaks the truth doesn't. Remember, Truth will ALWAYS be oppresed, because its the hardway, and no one wants to take that.

[brandonyorum]

@ozoneman4 yo man, i totally agree

[tdotK1D]

@ozoneman4 agreed,

thats deepp bro

[BeenStonedKids]

@ozoneman4 That's brilliant. thank you for speaking how i feel about this guy.

[gr8isnate]

@ozoneman4 queer tard

[timkillzu]

@ozoneman4 i have similar ideals. well said.

[brentcarlos1]

@ozoneman4 whatever happened to life is what you make it? if you believe you can achieve reality shouldn't be term by the negative things that go on in it.

[pinkbluelove]

sorta true that america rules the world in a way, i mean they have the strongest military and are always fuckin with other countries, yall gota admit that, but white people dont own it, thats just stupid, and america does help other countrys to a lil bit, but americas influence on the world is huge, even though there all fat ass fags...

[richkiddude]

Thanks for everyone who agress with me!:)

Oh and fyamnky that wasn't funny. You cursed and that was SO low class. Just stop Youtube doesnt need anymore of this. I hate Soulja Boy. I hate rap.

[justinbieberluva06]

No white dudes don't run this world. So shut up and stop being racist you low class loser. Just because we can get jobs easier then them and we have easier everything then them doesn't mean you got to be that way! Be thankful! He is and he has suffered so much! So all of you can leave him alone!

[123idabb]

@justinbieberluva06- I completely agree. No one can REALLY run the world, not white people OR colored, so why be racist when you know we're NOT better than them and their not better than us. We're ALL on the same level

[tybceo25]

Fuck you Justin Beiber you fucked up Knaan Wain Flag song. On the song for haiti

[21mizzcee]

@tybceo25 justin bieber sung wavin flag?!? what a dushebag

[shubh4ever2]

@tybceo25 true...very true.....he is just an artist who will come and come....and will be forgotten...unlike Knaan

[Lander123Gal]

@tybceo25 What are u on about ;/ . What's that child gotta do with K'naan?

[tybceo25]

@Lander123Gal Leant how to use google cunt

[Lander123Gal]

@tybceo25 By you have issues, you cant answer a question? It doesn't matter anyway I watched that performance where Bieber killed it. Anyway go see a cunciling psychologist its obviously scary not being able to answer a simple question otherwise you'll be the new psycho in the block :)

[tybceo25]

@Lander123Gal lol im just fuckin wit yu. he was on the remake of his wavin flag song.. happy :)

[WillardE4]

@Lander123Gal the kid was on the "youg artist for haiti" version of waving flag.
