Whats great about K'naan's music is the fusion of live instrumentation, lots of melody, clever lyrics, and a hypnotic flow that evolves from song to song...
Overlaid on percussive African melodies are some poignant rhymes that paint a harrowing picture of Mogadishu, Somalia....The upbringing that K'naan describes make the chaos and misery of U.S. ghettos described in American rap/hip-hop seem like the land of milk and honey...A relative gravy train with biscuit wheels...
K'naan seems to have a knack for weaving a strong undercurrent of social awareness into uplifting songs that appeal to folks ranging from your everyday white suburbanite to millions of rapid World Cup fans that are set to descend on South Africa this summer...

Nice, dude. Never thought I'd be listening to hop hop either. Now all I need is an 80's oldsmobile to roll around in set up with subwoofers big enough to make the doors rattle off.
