As a K'naan NAS & Damian Marley fan i cannot just stand by and watch the world go from bad to worse, i'd like to make it BETTER, so in aid of the Somali Famine devastating west africa i wrote and recorded a poem, please view it on my page and like this comment if you would like to support an upcoming poet.Thank you God Bless
THIS ALBUM IS BETTER THEN MOST OF THE SHITTY HIP POP ALBUMS THAT COME OUT EVERY MONTHS WITH NO MESSAGE WHAT SO EVER ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY THEY HAVE AND WHORES. NAS forever
@KYCTellEM Exactly what I was going to say, you've said it for me!! I wish these two would do a tour together. I had to buy this album and show love for them....... it gets better and better each time I play it, a classic!!! Peace and respect.
I don't know why but this song ressonates deep in y soul. Everything about it... Its stirring, soothing, ralxed yet invigorating all in one. Especialy the chorus.
how blessed are we to have knaan a somali singing with the greatest concisouse artists and musicans in the world and better hear him convey our message in somali .. cajiib
I wish that we could visit old kemet, your history is too complex & rigid, for these western critics. Old kemet??? It was where Eygpt is today, and was just as prosporus. I urge those who are interested in African History to research this old country, Kemet.. And dont stop there.. there is also Lemuria, if you believe it existed..IT DID! They were black. i.e .wikipedia, Our history will never be told, you must seek the truth, yourself! Always explore, it leads to discovery! Peace & Love :)
@SeekeroftheOnes Kemet was the name used by ancient Egyptians to describe Egypt. So, its not that Kemet used to be where Egypt is today.. Kemet IS Egypt. I'm Egyptian so I just had to clarify that. peace.
Our Brother Esu will not wake up. the hands of the earth should be in blacks hands if it were we would be in flying cars.. WHITE PEOPLE HUMBLE YOURSELFS LIKE MY BROTHERS IN AFRICA THEY INVITE YOU ALL IN THERE TRIBES AND YOU EXPLOID THEM SHAME ON YOU !
@ThumbsUpMike Because these videos haven't been uploaded legally. If you don't own the rights to the song then you can't upload it. If you do upload a song that doesn't belong to you and it reaches a few million views , I'd expect it to get taken down too.
Pretty simple really but I bet you've got some explanation that involves freemasons huh?
they gave you peace but you refused you was given the president you chose but you went and killed him, your country was beautiful and built but you went and broke it down and a bit more i dont understand
It's interesting how the Grammies or Bill Boards didnt give any real recognition to this album... Same old imperialist... This album is education material to all oppressed! Afrika Please wake up!
It's sad when a great album like this gets overlooked for Grammy nominations and much more props than it has been given. This album is very solid. Nas and Damian Marley are the truth.
@faiza717 Your right but this song isnt just for people who are native to Afrika. It is for EVERYONE no matter where you are from this song speaks the truth to you.
so i love how this album wasn't nominated for a grammy wow it really upsets me that an album so genius, so phenomenal is not getting the recognition it deserves i mean we think nicki minaj is grammy nomination worthy but THIS ALBUM is not ? or are they planning to wait 15 years from now and acknowledge it? idk whatever u guess im just tired of listening to garbage music on the radio all day. *sigh*
@iamhaddyxo I agree with you , This isnt getting the credit it deserves because The Generation Now Would Rather Listing to How much money some one else has , Hate, Sex etc . I admit iListen to some but im Not a finatic about it . iMean iHave a little Wiz Khalifa on my page but i still agree this album should have been Reconized . one day People Will understand the greatness of REAL MUSiC and not that garbage We Call HipHop Now . The Songs on Here are so inspirational !
honestly thats how most people are in life, even in conversations. have u ever realized, when u talk about real shit, everybody acts weird, but the moment u talkin shit, or about money, everybody gets happy about what ur saying?.. sad ignorant world.
@TheZteach ... and that of Malcolm X, Martin Luther, Ghandi, Haile Selasie, Kwame Kruma, Patrice Lumumba, Félix Houphouët-Boigny, Mother Theresa, and all who spent thier life trying to bring about equality and harmony among all races. One day all will see salvation. God bless
The fact i'm white is my adaptation to less light.not superiority.i fell so awful about explotation of african land and people.if only more american mainstream rappers talk about this subject.cuz they are all distant relatives.some of them even not so distant.money makes u forget i guess.I give Nas huge props for this.
Nas truly shows that he's gone above and beyond the rest of the rap game with this collaboration album! K'Naan, Joss Stone, Stephen Marley, Weezy, etc included. Transcendence.
