East Africa Stand up!

This guy is so underrated! He's got nothing to lose. Still original in 2020!!

I recently listen to this song for the first time and google a little bit about K'naan,incredible talent and voice.He is more than a musician,something that can not be taken away.

2024. This was one of my favorite tracks back in the days. Y'all the Grammy brought me here folks because I saw knaan at the Grammy. Congratulations bro for your honor, the award you received. 👏.

Shout out to k' naan love from Ethiopia East Africa stand up!!

Its beautiful to see Pan Africanist being exercised. Many Americans (blacks) love to see our brothers and sisters worldwide share the stage with each other showing the truths between people.... big ups to Naseer & Knaan bless

K'Naan really don't get the credit he deserves. He is one of the greatest artist of all time for real. Much much respect K'Naan.

"I'm in every joint this year, orthopedic."

Hip hop is the only universal language and the CNN for all worldwide.

You can't deny the talent that comes with K'naan and Nas. Just another classic to add to a wall full of plaques.

Girl nothing to loose, Knaan Somalia are proud of You

Dope! Nas sounds so smooth

This is the first song I heard knaan swear on… go knaan

Just stumbled upon this joint whilst listening to Esco. Dude’s got a story to tell. Joint positive. 🔥❤️ ✊🏾 👑

Knaan is the essence of what hip hop started as and should be....respect!!!

Knaan and Lupe have a similar flow and topics

2019 this is still one of the best songs I’ve ever heard

Had this song on heavy rotation all day and decided to check if it had a video 👌🏽

K'naan is one of the only current popular artists out there today that I like. He's amazing.

Old but gold 💯👊🏾

I'm kinda new to Knaan, but I see why Nas likes him. Too few rappers are afraid to be themselves man, this is some creative shit.

He songs are so good you could play 40 years from now and it will still sound current.

This my jam. Nas and K'naan both went in. Keep up the good work K'naan bro.

how come K'naan and Akon never came together that will be the boom

Mad respect for K'naan, show support!

This song is slept on.. deserves more views!!

I had this song but I never knew it was a video for it 💯

I love it, I love K'naan !!!!!

wallahi the best somali song knaan

Way back he performed at Carfex Johannesburg South Africans…. I’m the luckiest to check him out even before World Cup 2010

Can't forget this song.....so good

who listen in 2021 ?

I am from Somalia 🇸🇴🇸🇴 I like kenan Somalia Hanolato Kenan guul

I'm African American and Jamaican and I don't see why we r all arguing n fussing each other out. I'm not a Somalis and I still can understand the mean of this song by K'Naan and Nas. We have a different culture but we are still from the same people. There is no way to prove race. So instead of aiming at each other throats, why not see the song for what it is. To different people of two different backgrounds coming together. Now lets see this become the top comment instead of something negative

knaans second verse is SICK, he kills this beat man :D

2pac storyteller, poet , uplifting. hard worker. king of quotes.. his battle shit was weak.. bad a bad ass gangster Rapper with knowledge lyrics he was a Rapper Not an emcee biggie had flow complex ryhmes, knowledge lyrics. Homophone, & metaphors punchlines. just raps after ryhmes change the Game nobody Is on his drug storytelling, gun metaphors and nobody has his patterns. he was a lyricist.. Emcee/ rapper battle lyricist. Nas was a street poet. street storytelling machine. thug poet, history storytelling. battle lyricist Emcee/Rapper

What happen to him why he stopped making music?

look up his older stuff man. he has got the respect of one of the best for a reason.

nice song knaan we proud you man
