Kicked Pushed: Some of you may have heard or read about what happened in Sweden's Gothenburg. Where after the performance a bouncer wouldn't allow me to go backstage to collect my things, though I had my pass in hand. The story is deep, and Sol Guy (my friend and manager) ended up going to jail for the night in Sweden. And me and the band spent the night at the station waitin for him. While it was us who were disrespected and actually physically assaulted, it was also us who were betrayed, processed and reminded of the diseases in the human heart. Fortunately, we were traveling with a camera and so we have some of those people and some of the situation on camera.

Those of you who know my music know that I've never really written for leisure. And that my experiences have always been at the forefront of my music. And you must agree, rarely is life uneventful. But this one called for special presentation. So I wrote a song, using Lupe Fiasco's Kick Push instrumental. Documenting the experience we had in Sweden, I call this song... KickED PushED. We also put together a video for the song, using the ACTUAL footage from the scenario. Nothing is re created, or re enacted, everything that you see is REAL.

Enjoy it (it's hard to say that about this one)

Peace, K'naan

  • The police can be real scumbags here in sweden sometimes! I guess any were but still I dont buy it that they kicked and pushed none of yall, weres the bloody nose and the broken ribbs? if they kicked or hit him on the nose it should have shown but it didnt!!! The police aint that retarded that they just start beating you up for nothing!! There are asshole cops but not like that! I think you made it up, the kick and push part cause u dont like cops!

  • If cops never beat up someone for no reason the race riots would have never happened because they fucking do that in America this song is real as fuck anyone who doesn't agree doesn't know wtf goes on in the world around them because shit like this happens

  • @antekc to say that police don't punch people no reason is stupid my friend got beaten up in a police van for no reason at all, they all also shot Mark Duggan for no reason at all so don't act like they're angels.

  • @ptenret1 Fuck off, just cause I don't understand the song 100% u don't have to call me dumb ass!!!! Do u really get that uppset about me not understanding!! ur a fucking retard!!! Hate all people calling u all kinds of stuff for fucking nothing!

  • @antekc And the reason his friend wasn't beaten or bloodied was because this was reenactment for the video. It's not like they can follow the cops around the station with a camera.

  • @antekc I Guess you weren't listening because he said the skinhead bouncers jumped them. You really think he made this song to get back at police in some way? that's ridiculous, pay attention dumb ass. He was saying the same thing about the cops as he was about the promoter. That when it came time to arrest the skinheads the white people stood together and ignored the evidence.

  • @AAPEVESTERBRO im lost,are you knaan?...

  • @antekc "The police aint that retarded that they just start beating you up for nothing!!"?

    then tell me why Ken Ring ended up in the hospital with injuries and bruises all over his face and upper body after a little visit to the police station? He was arrested in a brutal manor and the officers responsible never got even a warning.

  • Yeah, sorry haha, obviously I was wrong, I listened to it again.

  • Yes well hes talking about the police beating his friend at the station, thats the way I got it.
