  • @rooneykotwn good stuff lol like how does yalls arguement relate to this excuse me im too lazy to see all your arguments so

  • @rooneykotwn :-))

  • @rooneykotwn

    Arguing on youtube is like competing in the special olympics, Why fucking bother.... It's the special fucking olympics, Go do something meaningful instead.

  • @rooneykotwn i understand what you are trying to say and yea arguing on youtube is dumb, but that analogy is disrespectful to mentally retarted people.

  • @rooneykotwn That 's a failed quote, tard. And you spelled it all wrong.

  • @rooneykotwn That 's a failed quote, tard. And you spelled it all wrong.

  • @rooneykotwn

    how the hell you going to say that man u should be shoot...man ur a sick person making fun of mentally ill people...i hope u suffer in the next life.bitch

    Massive over-generalization.

  • guys don't argue, just let it be

  • Did God rape my mom and make her addicted to crack? or is it my fault?

  • @hanaysex There is such a thing as free will. We all are responsible for how we treat one another. God just provides the way out of it if we're in too deep.

  • @cisdac

    Nah, you can get out without believing in a non existant being.

  • @boarderx113 The difference is that faith makes a people strong, and everyone has a bit of that to some extent. It is like if you look at the sun set and rise the next day. You are sure it will do the same thing, but you cannot "prove" that it will do that the next day. There is no solid truth to the idea of the sun setting and rising, but by faith you believe.

  • @cisdac

    Actually there is proof that the sun will rise tomorow. It's called physics. The world rotates and half of the earth is in light at any one time. It's not faith there is concrete evidence it will rise tomorow untill something happens such as perhaps a asteroid hitting earth with enough force in the opposite direction to rotation, but if that happens, we would all be dead anyway.

  • @boarderx113 Let me explain my meaning. By me claiming that you do not have valid proof of the sun setting and rising I also was covering physics, quantum mechanics, and all possible earth science. They have no idea how reality functions in the sense that "All" things are figured out. If this were true we would have developed into godlike beings, and cured all diseases (this has not happened). Physics covers theories and probable outcomes; it is not infallible.

  • @boarderx113 Is there a working technological device that can without a doubt calculate and determine the sun sets and rises with such raw accuracy it is never wrong? I have not heard of any device currently being made nor can scientist make this device. When this device is made, and shows with raw accuracy this setting and rising is based out of all outcomes; then, we all can prove Albert Einstein a waste of time.

  • @cisdac

    You're arguement is invalid, non sensical and idiotic. Of course there are machines that predict the rising and setting of the sun, you obviously own a computer, so you have a machine in your posession that can access websites that can accurately tell you when the sun will rise in the morning and set in the evening. Just the same as we have calenders and machines that calculate what time high tide will be at any point around the world on any given day.

  • @boarderx113 You still didn't comprehend what I am saying. It is obvious I have stumped you and you resort to name calling. For a man of science as you so try to pass by, you actually come off as a troll on the internet with no bases or even intellect to support your own trolling. When you have the time in that tiny little brain of yours; try to at least, comprehend what someone is saying to you.

  • @boarderx113 If you suffer from any type of neurological problem and you honestly can't help the dumb comments you post and reply to others. All I can say is there is help out there! I noticed on your main page people have tossed a lot of hate toward you. I'm seeing someone who is trying so desperate to get a reaction from people, and come off as pseudo-intellectual. Were you sexually abused as a child? Did someone rape your mother? These are all signs of abuse you are posting on youtube.

  • @cisdac

    Lol, and you think I'm a troll. I have fully comprehended what you have said but you fail to accept that you just got smoked like half a tinnie of reefer. It's not hard to see you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about "show me a machine what can predict the rising of the sun" so I give you an example and you get pissed off. Grow up. The people who post hate mail on my channel were ignorant fools who disagreed with what I said and resort to hate mail, that's not my problem.

  • @boarderx113 Actually if a number of people agree about someone. It is most likely that there is valid truth to it. Majority of people dislike you and even hate you. This is to do with your upbringing and possible interaction with abusive individuals.

    Again you have not comprehended what I said. Yes, a computer does tell time, and yes a computer is capable of telling you when something will occur. But not the the raw "exact" accuracy that is required (i.e. unified field theory).

  • @boarderx113 I also notice your word vocabulary is very low. I assume you are not well versed in different words? I'm using a very limited form of communication with you and almost all your posts come off as a desperate need of acceptance for something you clearly lack (intellectual ability). Telling me to "Grow up" shows that I've most likely hit the nail on the head concerning your upbringing. You should consult with a psychologist before someone physically assaults you.

  • @cisdac

    I have a managerie of words at my disposal, I choose, however, to limit the complexity of my narration whilst conversing with persons on the internet as there is very little need for formality and over indulgent words. Why say Triskaphobia when "fear of the number 3" will do. Using intricate words and syntax does absolutely nothing over the internet, except exclude members of the community who aren't versed in subject of english from conversation which they could otherwise contribute.

  • @boarderx113 This is still very low vocabulary. I had hoped you would have hit it with a larger and much more advanced vocabulary to show that you truly are intelligent. It just shows that you are struggling with the concept of your own ego and flattering yourself with "ideas" you think nobody else can grasp.

  • @cisdac

    Right, good for you mate. Believe what you will. But there is physics out there that explains without a doubt why the sun rises and sets. The earth spins on its axis, this is not theory this is fact, therefore we get the illusion of a "rising" and a "setting" sun, when in actual fact it is our own motion which causes this. If the earth stopped rotating then yeah there would be no rising sun, but that has nothing to do with anything. It's not faith it is fact, the sun will rise tomorow.

  • @cisdac

    I would also disagree that because alot of people hate you, you are bad. Alot of Christians hate Muslims and vice versa, doesn't mean that either Muslims nor Christians are vile people. You will also notice, that only people who hate me comment on my profile, whereas should you perhaps look at the thumbs up I have received on my comments you will find a fair few more enjoy or otherwise agree with what I say. I am failing to see why it being "exact" is relevant. Nothing can be exact....

  • @boarderx113 I don't care about Christians or Muslims in the general sense of the topic. I believe that Muslims and Christians both serve a purpose in life because they are first of all human beings, and have a right to find what works for them and what does not. Religious dogma is nothing to point out and moot at best to support a concept of higher learning. People hate you because you come across as self-loathing and pernicious. I never claimed to be religious.

  • Comment removed

  • @cisdac

    The only measurements which are exact are those upon which all other measurement is taken. The metre for example, the only piece of material that is exactly one metre (at least man made) is the original piece of metal that is the standard that all other rulers or measures are graded for length and accuracy. So to suggest that because a machine can't predict with 0% uncertainty when the sun will set, we are going off faith, is nonsensical and retarded at best.

  • @boarderx113 All of physics is based on theories and probable outcomes. If it can be proven to work and it shows then it is without a doubt proof. But you have not offered any explanation for my simple idea of the sun setting and rising. There is no physics that can explain "All" reality. If you can't grasp what it is I'm claiming; then you are a very slow minded person.

  • @boarderx113 It only took me a week to master physics and quantum mechanics. It doesn't take me long to figure out academic work. I've even helped a few very brilliant computer programmers out before. I know what I am talking about and lot of my topics are above your ability to grasp intellectually what I'm asking you. Consider the topic ending because I find you boring.

  • @cisdac

    Lol, I found you boring yesterday. You are making claims about your ability to grasp concepts without any proof, from what I have seen you have lacked critical thinking. You seem to suggest that I cannot expect the sun to rise tomorow because of some personal opinion of yours that theory behind earths rotation is not concrete. If you would please use your immense intellectual ability to improve upon the theory or disprove it. Unless you are willing to do so, your arguements are null.

  • @cisdac Sorry bud, but quantum mechanics isn't fully understood by anyone. Neither is physics. Just by saying that you've "mastered" them, especially in a week, shows how ignorant you are. But how about this, give us your name, and if you've done any of the things you said you have, you should pop up on Google as a brilliant scientific mind no problem. So how 'bout it?

  • @blackmajic13 That is not honestly true. There were a few brilliant minds that have never been published. You are equating intelligence with progressive releasing of written and published work. You are not smart enough to determine anything about anyone. I don't need to show my resume to anyone, let alone a low income worker.

  • @cisdac (Comment 1 of 2) Then how do you know they exist, or existed, if their work was never published? You seem to not understand how the scientific community works. When someone discovers something groundbreaking, it is generally shared and distributed through out so others can conduct their own research and test the claims themselves. Also, it's impossible to perfect ANY science, as science constantly evolves as we discover new information and develop new theories every day.

  • @blackmajic13 You don't even understand the complex idea behind some minds. It takes about a decade for work to circulate to the general public. Your idea is based off of mainstream idea of published material. There are still some great and brilliant people that are unpublished but actually know works before everyone else. I will discontinue this conversation so you can go back to being unknown and in low class job. By the way I am a millionaire. Yet, you don't know me right? See..case closed.

  • @cisdac It takes a decade for work to circulate to the general public? Are you kidding? This is called the Information Age for a reason. Look at what you're using right now. It's called the internet. You can find any published source of scientific information in seconds. I know there are unknown talents, but had they discovered something, they would've, being scientists, shared it with the world, as they always do. You're obviously experienced when it comes to trolling and doing this on purpose.

  • @cisdac (Comment 2 of 2) Also, you obviously aren't extraordinary in any way, as you had to resort to insulting me instead of replying with a dignified, intelligent response. So please, before you count people below you, try being civil yourself. You refusing to prove it shows you lack the knowledge. Someone with that knowledge would surely want to boast about knowing things no one else does, and help others learn it themselves.

  • I hate restrictions. Why can't I live the life I want to? I should be able to make my own choices, just like EVERYONE else. God want his people to live a good life on his earth. So let them! I don't wanna live the restricted life where you make career, fall in love with a man, marry, get two kids and a dog. And then die. No, thank you. Maybe I will be happy with a girl, you never know. Something called destiny. I hate people which say how other people should live, only in the name of ''God''.

  • Listen to the sample of this by Alemayehu Eshete - Tey gedyeleshem. That's why it has an Ethiopian tune to it!

  • Buddy, if I have one thousand cookies and give five to the poor kid, does that make me better than the person who has five cookies and gives one to the poor kid? Don't respond to me, you know absolutely nothing about real life kid.

  • John Lennon

  • ehh. his other songs are better

  • i dare you not to shake your head and not sing along this great song!!!

  • terrable rhymes at 0:27!

  • @amazingatcod1 *terrible, also let's see you do better

  • The beat is. Out of this world. I have to listen again

  • thumbs up you just sat down after singing + dancing to this song :L (-8

  • Comment removed

  • he sounds like chiddy bangs

  • @hellhowudo no fucking way chiddy bang sounds like him

  • the beat is awesome

  • Wow. Anyone else hear a little bit of Lupe Fiasco in him?

  • @razorfist10

    Now and then.. Agree! I like Lupe too.

  • @razorfist10

    I was hoping they teamed up. It will be way above most heads but perfect for mine :)

  • @razorfist10 I was thinking like you.

  • @razorfist10

    its more like hearing a little k'naan in lupe fiasco 

  • @razorfist10 Man, I was just thinking before listening this; wow lupe fiasco and k'naan are something completely fresh in the hip hop scene and are definitely both tied for my favorite. When it all boils down they are both actually saying something rather then the same cliche titties and guns rap that has somehow become the standard.

  • @razorfist10 umm yess. LOLL thats why theyre both my fave rappers.

  • @livexthexlife192 Word. Imagine if they did a song together o.O

  • @razorfist10 i love this guy, cuz he is similar to lupe lol, my third fav artist

  • @hanaysex What do you do for a living?

  • @devinlovell I cook fish and chips ;)

  • Comment removed

  • it's groovy!

  • @hanaysex isnt the overall goal of an artist like knaan(like Bob MArley) to spread his music throughout the world for everyone to hear what he has to say.  its impossible to do so without getting serious exposure . he has a few tracks that reel people in such as the WC remix or the wavin flag remixes with better known artists then some listeners will continue to look for him and hopfully listen to his real stuff. there is no other way for him to get his music out & making difference in people

  • Yeah, That's what these malaria ridden refugees need, a can of coke will make everything better, they probably give them the first one free too. Go get a job with coke then pussy, I'm sure they have plenty of exciting career opportunities. You will never have to worry about getting diarrhea again. Your a fucking cartoon character bud.

  • Go back to kinder garden fool, Selling out to an imperial corporation renders EVERYTHING he has rapped about as BULL SHIT. Do you UNDERSTAND? Coca-Cola does not give a shit about Somalia or Africa, they only care about manufacturing AS MANY cans of coke as possible and licensing as much PRODUCT (K'naan) in order to package and SELL. Don't respond, your not informed enough to make a valid point.

  • @hanaysex Its funny how u say that because coke actually supplies coke to starwing children... And if u find that funny... it aint Coke Contains alot of sugar and salt and as we all know Salt help u hold in water/fluids so it also is a great help toward diarea(dont know how that is spelled) and also coke is the only thing u know u will be able to drink no matter where u go in the world because they make sure its clean. So read up and stop talking shit.... Geez

  • @hanaysex Word up, listen to his older shit....

  • @hanaysex

    k'naan also remixed wavin flag to help charity read up on it and i bet he will use the money he got for good

  • @hanaysex Young Artists For Haiti - Wavin' Flag knaan remixed his song to help dieing ppl in haiti he helped more people then you ever will so stfu moron

  • @kratoslinkmaster Yo ignoramus, The REASON the people of Haiti are starving is because of ongoing military occupations from the U.S. AND Canada, every time they get a leader who is helping the country he is overthrown. You can't feed songs or fame to starving people. K'naan is a fantastic song writer and poet, I am not dissing his musical ability, I'm dissing what is soon to come compared to what this guy used to BE.

  • @hanaysex what your saying has no relevance to our argument my point was that knaan does things to try and help his country so get a brain you say you cant feed songs or fame to starving people what about michael jackson he donated millions to charity music artists have alot of power in socio economic problems because they can spread the word to lots of people dumbfuck so many musical artists contribute and help charity

  • @kratoslinkmaster who says you cant feed songs to the hungry? Im sure i wouldn't be lying if i said at least one person in the world held on to life by taking hope from a song. Especially with K'naan. With lyrics like this, who can't be inspired to do good or to hold on to whats left? Music is one of the most powerful forces humans have ever gained. period.

  • This song is beast . He makes pretty good breaking songs .

  • K'naan = the new Mos Def

  • Knaan I salute you. U R ONE FOR THE HUMANITY.....GOD GIVE U SUCCESS IN LIFE AND TAKE CARE OF THE PEOPLE OF SOMALIA.

  • haamageil ey ich hab hier noch ein video von mir unf friend BMX

  • this is that shit u need to repeat 10x just cu your like DAMM HE REALLY JUST SAY THAT.. and then another 1000+ cuz its amazing

  • I like K'naan but this kinda sounds too american ghetto, and unlike him and his usual beautiful poetic east African vibe.

  • kk, thats cool. I grew up in Rexdale before moving to Vancouver, I keep forgetting how big he is now but me and him go back way before 'Dusty Foot' and I just hate seeing how this local boy is starved for fame, it seems unlike him.Wavin Flag original IS really good as it talks of the plight and starvation of Africa and how self-determination is the only means to change and be proud of your country, which was takin out for lines like "Singing, Forever Young"(TM Coca Cola Corporation 2010.)

  • @hanaysex Sir...are you telling me that he is starved for fame? He has talent and he deserves fame...he has been through more shit than any rapper out there. We all have dreams and his dream is obviously to make it big as a singer. So if Coke asked you to make a remix of Waving Flag and you had his talent would you say no? Yeah I didn't think so...Please put yourself in his shoes.

  • k'naan finally gets the atention he deserves:D

  • 12 ppl cant find the "like" button and preesed the "dislike" button by accident

  • Thumps *uP* 4 K'NAAN. Im a dreamer 2 !

  • weak song. he is better as a singer

  • @chileno39 He's not even a singer. You would not know an MC if he came up to you and spit a rhyme right in your ear. Your to young to even know what rap was or is. Wavin Flag is his sellout to Coca-Cola, its auto-tuned with will-i-am. This guy was good, he said things that were RELEVANT. Are Escalades, millions of dollars, hot bitches and keys of cocaine relevant to you?

  • @hanaysex actually Waving Flag was not originally auto tuned or with Will. I. Am. You can find the original by himself here on youtube. It is the best version, along with the Young Artists For Haiti version he did with several popular Canadian artists.

  • @Rosannasfriend YUP, You are correct! Would you like a cookie? I was referring to the "Celebration Mix" and all the other mixes that followed with the Fifa shit. Yeah more people know him but not the right kind.

  • @hanaysex excuse me, bitch, no need for the sarcasm. If you can re-read your post, you made it sound like the version with Will. I. Am was the only one/original that you heard. You said "Waving Flag is his sellout to Coca-Cola", not "The Waving Flag REMIX was his sellout to Coca-Cola", so I was trying to politely let you that wasn't the first version, and therefore the real version is NO sellout. But I don't expect you to admit you have contributed to any confusion there.

  • @hanaysex get away from me freak. he cant rap and i dont care about you opinion

  • he quotes Eazy E 'Boys in the Hood' on this song. Mad props.

  • When do ya come back home? Haven't seen you live since months...

  • 12 ass wholes in this world, 12 fucking bastards who are either to retarded to know good music or 12 people who missed the like button, which is it i dont know I just dislike them.

  • K'naan you'r my idol, you're the fuckin' god yooh

  • Mashallah

  • me too a grt fan of him....have created a site for him......

    sandeepyc.co.cc/fifa/knaa.html

  • THumbs down, you mainstream zombies. k'naan was my brah before troubador. Great album but now im hearin will-i-am singin with him on the radio, how can he talk about how imperialism has raped Somalia while dancing around for the Coca-Cola Corporation, shamelessly changing the lyrics to "Wavin' Flag" to exclude any talk of the plight of his people. Fuck you K'naan, fuck anyone who likes him "because of the World Cup" or BET, Vote for Justin Bieber while your at it. fuck em...

  • @hanaysex exactly what I was thinking, well said!

  • this guy is talented

    long live Somalia from KSA

  • Vote for Knaan best international act on BET..he deserves it!!!!!

  • so...peaceful

  • Mashallah !

    K'naan REPRESENT <3

  • i gotta friend name flow who gotta friend blow

  • hes a legend

  • Geiles Lied

  • Pretty good tracks he got there. I usually dont listen to Rap of any kind but this is something that really is an eye or probably an ear-catcher.

  • Thats a song! WUUUHHUUUU

  • DOPE SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • wow.... so glad he did wht world cup song or i dont think i would of ever heard of this guy ......hopefully he wont change hes music too much when he blows up in the music industry ... as what ive heard so far has touched me unlike most artist these days......

  • S SO SOM SOMA SOMAL SOMALI SOMALIA F FO FOR E EV EVE EVER
