I love how he sounds no different live, then when hes recording in a studio, while other artists sound completely different. True Music, True Passion, True Hip-Hop.
A true poet. What hiphop's all about, grabbing a mic, and saying what you want to say. And unlike way too many emcee's today who spit in the mic and say absolutely NOTHING.. this guy says SOMETHING. And he's representing Somalia and Canada loud and proud.
The first time I ever hear a song and started crying I mean bawling in the pain in this world. Won't be long now before satan in removed from power and the Kingdom of God(Allah) reigns. Thank you K'naan!!
There are talented artists and entertainers..., and then there's K'Naan, who is SO MUCH MORE than that. This world is a much better place with him and his music in it. K'Naan, habibi, next time I see you, I won't miss the opportunity to say hello. Thank you for everything you do. Love, love, love!
knaans amazing saw him at the fox theater in boulder co with matisyahu , awesome show, knaan opened for him and im glad i got there early to witness this lyrical genius
Man that line about his cousin really got me. As someone who grew up with cousins all around the same age the bond you form with them is something else.
love this guy i don't care for looks but his words are true and touching i just can't believe hes somali i am happy to know Kaynan is awesome his real name is Kaynan
It hurts so much, I have to cry always when im listenin to this song. Thank you knaan 4 the music! You make my day always and give me power to go on. I love you from the bottom of my heart!!
True SH!T.... That's what K'naan write and sings about every single song he has is to me a great song wit great universal message...k'naan rank 3 under Eminem And B.o.B in my favorite true artiest!
yeh man i know how it feels im from somalia but i grew up in libya for basicly my hole life and i still reember leaving all my friends their it was so said cause we had each others back for a long time..
People Like Me Speak Politely!!! because we've seen the ugly with our eyes for the last two decades, But Alhamdullilah!!!!!!... you've to respect and respresent yourself in this short journey of life and wish others for the same!!
haha K'Naan is dope I remember the first time I heard him last summer on my birthday at a Jason Mraz concert i dont think anyone really knew who he was but now he has blown up i love the words he speaks, I know this man will go far, but hopefully he doesn't change his ways cuz they are beautiful ahaha
We all struggle through stuff no matter what it is, some worse than other, some not as bad but when we help each other out we can overcome anything as one.
i like your raps k naan i know its hard 2 be in war in irak it was hard 4 u 2 sleep but the kids down there cant sleep ¨ ima kurd and yes they was killing alort
Beautiful song, I really prefer the live version. When K'naan sings "people like me" it sounds just so much more truthful and humbling than the chorus on the album.
alright hes got two cds easy hero and im sure ur biggest inspiration appreciates u saying he cant sing u hearing his songs doesnt give u the right to sum up his whole career like that buddy;)
His birth name is Keinan. That's in his native tongue and his mothers native tongue. It could vary though, maybe in other tribes it's Kaynan. Keinan however translates to Traveler, which is very fitting for him.
Who came here in 2024? I still have some deep respect and love for this man!
The last verse of this song gives me goosebumps every time. He's a true artist.
I love how he sounds no different live, then when hes recording in a studio, while other artists sound completely different.
True Music,
True Passion,
True Hip-Hop.
it's so sad when he talks about his cousin. K'naan, i really hope you heal from the pain of losing your cousin.
Africa is were real music originates
Those 9 dislikers have no appreciation in this music, which in turn means no appreciation in truth and life

K'naan isnt only an amazing artist, but an incredible story-teller. Its beautiful.
Anyone else know songs like this? Deep songs like this that actually have meaning?
And a decade later..
I took refuge and prayer, kinda like finding God in a phonebook and it came to me sounding something like a song hook.
There are talented artists and entertainers..., and then there's K'Naan, who is SO MUCH MORE than that.
This world is a much better place with him and his music in it.
K'Naan, habibi, next time I see you, I won't miss the opportunity to say hello. Thank you for everything you do.
Love, love, love!

I'm not usually a fan of hip hop at all, but K'Naan I can stand by.
Dope Concert in my home town of Peg City. Small historical venue at Burton Cummings theater. He had the place standing at the end of the night.
Liago .. knaan has the best voice .. he does not need anyone to sing with him ....
True SH!T.... That's what K'naan write and sings about every single song he has is to me a great song wit great universal message...k'naan rank 3 under Eminem And B.o.B in my favorite true artiest!

His birth name is Keinan. That's in his native tongue and his mothers native tongue. It could vary though, maybe in other tribes it's Kaynan. Keinan however translates to Traveler, which is very fitting for him.
