[hiphopaintdead703]

[dude52841]

he should get awards but ppl in the US and Europe dont really know about him its kinda up to the ppl that do know about him to get his name out their so ppl can here him and also know wat the US is doing to Somalia with the toxic wast which is making the pirates

[Macksmacke]

[Denisfrom2300]

@Macksmacke yir thats cause there are so many somalis and bosnias in da ROSENGÅRD niggaasssss. are u from malmö?

[Keezih]

@Denisfrom2300

lol vad har det med något att göra? känner många människor som inte är somalier som gillar KNAAN och några få somalier som inte gillar hans musik men de flesta somalier gillar den.

[Denisfrom2300]

@Keezih yeah good u figured out what i meant . i:) specially when i said "non-somalis hate his music" and if you look at the end of your comment, you can see that the conclusion of both comments are that somalis like the music .)

[sacadinho]

For some reason you gotta state all of a sudden that your proud to be somali to the world because of a somali artist??? Please, you sound like the ignorant one, and for the word "nigga"....Nigga if dont even flow right out of your mouth right. Why dont you purpose to him, you sound like Knaans spouse or something.

[bosshoggish1]

1 LUV Bro and Peace.

[TheSomaliworrior]

Until the lion learns to speak

The tales of hunting will be weak

My poetry hails within the streets

My poetry fails to be discrete

It travels across the earth and seas

From Somalia to the West Indies

It knows no boundaries, no trees

It�s studied in parts of the Greece

K'naan is one of the most real hip hop artists
