I am from New Orleans, and I absolutely respect this man, he is a true poet, a very talented conscience artist. K'naan is unique, I can only compare him to all of the great poets and musicians of our time.K'naan is very necessary. His word sound is very very powerful. K'naan is the voice of the voice-less. People all over the world love and repect him and his band. K'naan thank you for standing up for righteousness-May the Most High continue to guide and protect you and your family.
The only reason why Somalia is not be peaceful is because we have small-minded people like KibirLeey...ALL they ever think about is tribalism! Not to mention such people would claim they are true followers of ISLAM. May ALLAH(GOD) guide you to the right path. TRIBALISM is barbaric and inhuman. Please for the sake of GOD and humanity stop tribalism. I AM MORE THAN PROUD OF YOU K'NAAN. LET THA TRUTH BE TOLD. nuff said. peace
@MzeeDala before bashing on somali people and playing the religion card... why can't you mention all the good thing about tribalism .. its even mention in the religion so nothing wrong with tribalism its all about how you use it... am sensing you are a somali girl.. ops. did you forget you are cheap and clean? ... thing about your self and shut up
fuck u ignorant fuck read a book Ethiopia is the name used in reference to ancient Africa and Ethiopian used when referring to black Africans. I hate u dumb fucks You are the reason y Africa still a shithole mentally n physically
if a white person was reading your comment they would actually laugh you are pathetic and uneducated if you are not from africa where are you from? you have lost your identity and its a shame
somalia nasterd 50 will get killedy u think somalis r strong we used 2 dat we raw he aint jamaican u shit head who wuld act jamacian all u guys do is smoke weed nd listen 2 bob marley
warya shut the fuck up talkin about dont he act jamaican who are you to talk? hes making his money what are you doing you prolly just sitting in your moms basement wishing you had some you lil jelous son of a bitch
You guys have no clue you need to see this man live. he reps hard do one else like him out there any were. This young man has so much talent. Best thing don't talk about things you don't know. and yes he makes 50 cent look like limp biscuit. This is not a hard core gangster young man he is a philosopher, rapper, a true lyricist. Peace yea
All yall haters out there stop hateing on ur boy k'naan cause yall know he the shit. He speaks the truth, and that line about 50 cent was funny as hell yo. fuck 50 cent cuzz, that nigga wack as hell anyway. k'naan thats my nigga for life cuzz.
they guy is good i have to admit dat but hey whats up wit his mother language he need to learn that to proud that i hate ppl who acts like stupid jamecan
Fuck you. Stupid Jamaican? who the fuck are you? The only music on the planet that speaks for the poor is Reggae. All the conscious Musicians around the world have a strong reggae influence. How the fuck is he trying to be Jamaican anyway? He does Rap not Dancehall or Reggae. Stop hating.

1. Rap is crap cause its all about violence..Knaan is a positive poet and shouldnt do rap cause its gay.
2.doing rap is trying to be jamaican cause they created rap...some of his verses are violent.
3. my culture is somalian, ask knaan about the Somalia culture.
4. am stating the facts, am not trying to disrespect my fellow somalian, his closer to me than he is to u dumbass lol.
5. if u thought over what i said instead of replying directly then u would understand why i said that
