@otisnut K'naan is just about the most famous artist world-wide now. I couldn't believe I hadn't heard of him til this last year. Check out "Waving Flag", that's probably the most popular (as far as radio-play,) it was also the theme song for the World Cup this last year in South Africa. K'naan is from Somalia (been in Canada about ten yrs,) but he is an amazing hip-hop artist. Highly recommended.
@erikssonflum Go sit alone in your room and feel sorry for yourself while you hate all the muslims in sweden. Why do you feel the need to share your hate? OH Yes, how can I forget....the internet is everyone's favorite place to spew their racism....behind a veil of anonymity, of course.
damians verse is da sickest! "...call da youth dem now go a war n go fight wit knuckle, da two sides scuffle_vietnam now go a war wit no more kung-fu nunchaku, missle n shuttle..."
This song is not only aesthetically brilliant, it also speaks to the bitter realities of many humans beings and shows the energy that could bring through collaborative artist work
I drink poison Then I vomit diamonds I gave you mandela, black dalai lamas I gave you music You enthused in my kindness So how dare you reduce me to donny imus Timeless in case we never been acquainted Flyness who made it It gets duplicated Mindless violence Well let me try to paint it Here's the 5 steps In hopes to explain it One!
OMG K'naan's verse is point on about what's fucking Africa up. Brothers and sisters fighting amongst ourselves when we should be uniting and building that wonderful continent to the best it could be. We have so much natural resources and yet we are easily exploited by other countries. I know years of colonization has fucked us up, but we need to overcome and move on and stop killing one another.
k'naan just bodied a legend. damn.

Damian Marley killed this track...read the lyrics to this song. It was simple yet concise, deep but not over your head.

@otisnut Seriously? He's amazing! Ever heard "Waving Flag?" Though "Take a Minute" for me is his best track.
