introducing k'naan

[maxamed1986]

One of the best songs he did.

[larashearn]

I think he's fucking great!!!!

[edanaify]

knaan is not a rapper, he is a poet.

[somrazy3]

Knaan is jst amazing.. xD

[addan495]

Wardeeglay

[G0LFMADE]

Goes to show that hard work pays off. English isn't his first language but his raps have more content and inspiration than most the crap that's out there today.

[GGLebo23]

I wish more rappers were more like him. I think being in the west too long has made them worry about the wrong things. Bring it back to the political, inspirational type of subjects that discuss the things that really matter in our world and our lives.

[Xkape83]

[bilashhossain]

A respectable artist

[turtel]

[boooyakka]

thank you! i found it already ;)

[Akifah88]

K'naan is a down to earth Brother [I interviewed him a few years ago] & he spits real life music from the motherland.

I'm a Fan 4life!!

[kerizmah]

I fell in Love with the people in this video as predicted...

[Tropicalcutie007]

First and foremost recognize...K' NAAN is one of the most down to earth truth speaking brothers around. I met him, talked with him and he is the most real out there right now. He is not tryin to rock gold and ting... He wears beads proudly to rep african culture. The marley's them selves recognize and accept him as family! Big up K' Naan! you a true writer, rapper, poet and you will be around for many years to come...

[Tropicalcutie007]

I love this man he is wise beyond his years...I am lucky to have spent a few moments in time to talk and take pictures at an after party to his concert promoting his new album while in Vancouver! It was sweet to talk to this human being and see how down to earth he is and his gentle kind nature. A memory I will cherish always.

[DancesWithDevils21]

i miss this k'naan, now he's all americanized

[sillyposter]

Why do you say that? I am curious and serious.

[Yay0202]

He said that east africa is the cradle of life...What did he mean by that? Are their any books or videos which talk about east Africa being the cradle of life?

[derhausaholic]

yeah lol... your history book...

[Yay0202]

You brought up a foreign topic to me....What is the history book and how I access it?

[Somalihivmusic]

Yup, the oldest archaelogical evidence of human existence is in East Africa - Kenya and Ethiopia to be exact...in that sense it is accurate to say East Africa is the cradle of life...

[CheStillFighting]

Troubadour comes out tomorrow guys. cop it, support real hip hop.

[funnytv99]

the brother is very caato he have to inoo jir dhisto

[OgadeniaBeauty]

I am so proud Of K'Naan for all his work for attempting to arouse attention and education for the Somali people.I admire him He is a Great Somali.

[OgadeniaBeauty]

Please my Somali Brothers and Sisters Stop to this Obsession with Qabiil. Lets just love ourselves Not based on that.

I am proud to be a SOMALI I love my roots Love live Somalia

[sagxxxal]

is da bst man

[blackanarchist101]

I love this guy, he gives so much. Good on him.

[Axmedkoole]

Wardhiigley DOES NOT translate to "River of Blood" according to Knaan. It means, "Lake of Blood". War, (wa^ar) in Somali means, "Lake".

It is War Dhiigley, not Wabi Dhiigley.

Wabi = River

War = Lake.

[piesthatigot]

Chill man.

[Tristanc19]

something tells me that k'naan knows a little bit more about the Somalian language that you do, so i think he knows what he is talking about

[VitaNegern77]

Somaliaaa !!! Magahaa

[thisshitiswackcanada]

[MzeeDala]

SPOT ON!...their upbringing was based on tribalistic ideas...i heard some of them are self-proclaimed gangsters..truly they are embrassing the vast majority of the somalis just like the few retards who live in Minnesota and make a living from gang bangin...THESE KIDS HAVE NOT SEEN THE VERY WORST! THAT IS WHY THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND THE PURPOSE OF LIFE1 THEY SHOULD GO BACK TO THE REAL GUTTER

[citygirl000]

[TheLeano]

k'naan is sick.. i wish i was him

[losthornofafrica]

how ever it might take I cant not say even if life time may we all succeed in making difference to our country, our heritage the horn of Africa, before the sentence losthornofafrica will be true. that will be shame on us....

[losthornofafrica]

we need more people like knaan and I am amazed because tonight is the first time I have heard of him.. before tonight he nor his work did not have any significant impact on me because I was unaware but now that I am I will do something inshallah as my part of action so horn of Africa is never lost.

[losthornofafrica]

don't use tribe against one another because our lord stated that he " put us into different tribes and nations, to recognise one another not use it against each others.

[losthornofafrica]

manshallah is good to see so many people concerned about their bros and sisters back home. forget about the division of Somalia because Somaliland does not exist even thought some of my family originate from there I still maintain that view and also puntaland, does not exist so forget that because Somalia the horn of I will remain forever inshallah.

[losthornofafrica]

well i really never thought that somalis like knaan and others commenting on his behalf in a positive way exsisted. well as the generation to come we are the ones who can make the difference before horn of africa becomes lost and when i say lost, i mean lost forever.dont you want to inform your kids about our somalia heritage if so before it is destroyed because of tribes and clans we have to act and remeber actions speak louder that words.

[PurpDro]
