It's the italian, german, somaliland flag? Some ppl are so stupid. It's the pan-africa flag. Y'all need to get some culture.

[TdotFunk]

He is holding the mic too close.

[2fresh4dell]

It is senegals flag... It up...

The colors represent the liberation of Africa! I think the first country to use the color was Ghana who adoped it in 1950's as the offical flag...

[epik9283]

[musico07]

[Reqrezentin]

Hahahahahhahaaha

Best comment ever!

[garasbaaleey]

no rule the song

[iP0PE]

K'naan's still so under-rated. I like the musical guests Jimmy gets. He must be a huge hip hop fan.

[GameGuru2004]

i like this version

[hollac2]

Mashallah he has come a long ways he was working for this forever.Inshallah Allah guides him to a nasheed album.K'naan we are waitng .....

[MN9Killer]

Nice

[mybroadcasttube]

[StillBrei]

Go head K'Naan!!! Sorry I missed this one! Maybe I need to watch Kimmel more!Im mad I missed him on there!!!

[RoomieChad]

[StillBrei]

RoomieChad ..um...whatever! I missed it the night it aired smh@ u...u couldve kept that to urself

[mishkaEth1]

oh my gosh. K'naan you do me proud man, you do me proud!!!!!!! This is the new Somali! yEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!! i love it!!!

[igh34]

props to knaan cuz hes being original and just being himself something u dun see too much in the rap game no more

[Nuurjaceelka]

K'naan you're the new Somalian Hadraawe keep ripping for big S and wardhiigley homie

[melosh1]

saw him live

wow

[gregorybrandt]

Where? At SXSW?

[UFCaz]

K'naans music is pure, honest and meaningful music, I love it.

None of that pussy ass I am a gangsta , I kill black people and shit on my self at the first sight of a white police man, proud of my ignorant bling bling white man made, sold by stupid ass short sighted useless NIGAZZZ , I hate those Meaningless NIGAZZZ

LOVE Black people though, God bless Knaan keep the good music coming, we are listening.

[dwaynepeterzen]

Big track...you would think Chubb Rock would have lost some weight over the past 20 years...good to see he's still Chubby.

[govinda8900]

blowjob? who needs blowjob? its stupid and disgusting to suck or lick others sex organs. u think u r dissing Somalia but u r doing the opposite

[mrmohamed619]

dang..Mah Homie K'NAAN doing it big...he deserves it,,.yall should listen to his lyrics before u judge him..true hiphop

[woofnotwolf]

Somalian rapper bahaha.....he is amazing? why cant you get a blowjob in somalia??? i think its because all the cocksuckers are over here.

[bboyStuntZ]

what you just typed was probably the most ridiculous, stupidest thing I have ever read. It's not true and even if it were, it still doesn't make sense. If all the cocksuckers were in Somalia then getting a blowjob would not be difficult. 

Fool.

[woofnotwolf]

Are you retarded. i said they are all over here...therefore while in somalia it would be difficult.

[bboyStuntZ]

You just keep proving how much of a moron you are. That's like saying you can't find a cookie even when you look inside a box filled with cookies.

[srksxb]

What is the name of the drummer??????????????? chech 2:00 he did good jobb man

[e132luv]

great permomance

[LoveLiveYourLife]

somaliaaa representt :)

[saadaq636]

yh men kp going grw up bld

[sayidforlife]

way to go knaan

[benandreas369]

I think its funny that the girls in the front do not know the meaning of the song, they just care about the beat. That is makes it a great song, it has deep, intelligent thought, and a really sweet beat to back it up. K'naan is a talented man.

[mizzgossip]

Damn this is da shit..and i mean dat in a gud way raw performance by raw performers.

[woofnotwolf]

i knew it was coming..a somolian rapper.....yaaaaaaaaa. one less stabbing people.

[Lindsey2437]

somolian?? wtf

[enugbv]

Somali is the term.

Go K'naan Go.

[FrogMan1713]

You don't know where Somalians live I take it by your reply. Are they not God's chilren too. Hope you caught that word chilren. Peace.

[THExxxMEANxxxCRITIC]

go suck a cock. This guy is amazing.

[PoetessX]

This song so KILLS!!! Chubb is still the man! It seems me and my friends talked him up! Still spitting w/ the greatest of ease!!

[ElRico333]

fifa 06

[smassh132]

what the hell is that enormous black guy hes with :O:O

[PoetessX]

Ayo! That's Chubb Rock Smassh123! He's an old skool MC! I'm gonna need you to do you homework kid!! Chubb got'em faded!

[Aruthy]

k'naan's awsome!

[xertaqaadka]

GO HARD k'naan DAMN THIS GUYD IS SO TALENTED HE'S ONE OF MY BEST FAV SINGERS GO HARD MAN

[RemyLeBeau102]

theres one black guy in the crowd. the only one raising his hand and waving it in the air lol.

[MyShitsHot]

Hey they arent all white i saw at least one asian

[RunningP123456]

chubb rock was shit in this, knaan and the band was sick.

[WarYaaWarrior]

them white ppl r soo cute ... i like how they wave hands ...

[boredwhilestudying]

K'naan is killing it right now, but on the real, I am absolutely LOVING hearing my man CHUBB ROCK again! One of the best, and in my opinion, most underrated rappers from the "golden era" of Hip Hop.

[krazzykidd029]

spanky is a beast

[DgKoOpA]

the band sounds beast haha

[Ruggs123456789]

canada + somalia = greatness

[pappiii]

drummers nice and so is k'naan. He one of my fav artists.  He's the epitome of the stereotypical artist. Makes something outta nothing.

[Samira8]

theyre good:D

[raymusta20]

from the REX to tha WORLD STAGE. WELL DONE MA BROTHA

[kni2968]

anyone know the name of the drummer?

[krazzykidd029]

2:00 sounds mad gud the drummer killed it he was fire and k'naan sounds the same live as if he was on the cd love dis performance

[KnaanFanNumber1]

who's spanky?

[lilvicfirth]

the drummer,he's a beast,he's played 4 like every r&b/rap artist there is lol

[JohnCena2011]

He's great live.

[crazydewd]

performance on point

[krazysilk]

oprah need to interview this guy couse the best rappper out there and his new cd very very good...all of his tracks you will never here a word call bitch .. in my book this should get grammey

[bjcity415]

Dang, Spanky killed this joint.

[lilvicfirth]

LOL,i was waitin 4 the spanky comments

[shaf116]

Keep up the good work k'naan. We have been waiting for someone like you for the last 10 years.

[pointblaankkid]

not a hater but seems like another will i am to me.. but hey get it how you can.....

[Kryss1234567]

another will i am? can will i am write songs? no! can k'naan? OF COURSE. he is an amazing lyricist and performer, so suck it, lol

[popomczowzow]

Yeah, K'naan is definitely much, much better, but you have to admit they have similar voices

[endrez2000]

with who

[popomczowzow]

Someone said he was the next Will I am or something like that but clearly K'naan is much better

[StillBrei]

popomczowzow I like Will I Am, but for me personally, I think K'Naan is better...but again, thats my personal opinion, maybe thats because I listen to him more...so Im a little biased lol

[popomczowzow]

That's what I was saying haha

Clearly K'naan is much better than Will I am, no contest

[RSantell777]

Thats Chubb Rock.. as in the guy who made the classic rap song "Treat 'Em Right".

[MJG01]

this is so clasic  i hope clubs will play this song demn so nice

[KeminicationsMedia]

Tomorrow is K'naan day on Hiphossipdotcom

[CheStillFighting]

K'naan's 2nd album Troubadour comes out tomorrow. cop it, support real hip hop.

[101feven101]

[DonJonFilms]

song's hot. chubb rock was so annoying though.

[LilVii]

Why was Chubb Rock annoying??

[MixedChick416]

very very true. the album version has kids singing the chorus so to have his loud deep voice singing it it threw it off. he shoulda just rapped his part and shut the hell up.

[pitzstud]

the beat is kasalefkut hulu by the ethiopiques

[101feven101]

really?

[KnaanLove]

they onlyy teach us the things that guns do <3

I LOVE KNAAN :)
