Everybody gotta eat, but everybody doesn't
Which is why I wanna tell you about my favourite cousin
He and I grew up where the sun shines
And we both partook in the gun crimes
And we both liked American rap rhymes
Even though we didn't understand one line
If you remember my liner notes in my last album
I talked about a close call with a grenade
I think we both must've been seventh grade
But don't panic, we both survived without damage
But we developed a bond like we survived the Titanic
So when the country became frantic
My mother tried to get us out, planned it
to the last detail, except the plan got derailed
cus there wasn't enough money for the plane tickets
How bitter when my mother had to chose who to take with her
So my cousin got left in the war
And that's just hard to record
Um disco fantástico, que cumpre e supera as expectativas criadas em Dusty Foot Philosopher de 2005 (era coisa difícil). K'naan passou de revelação a confirmação. Pontos (bem) altos: Wavin' Flag, Somalia, Fatima, Take a Minute, 15 Minutes Away, People Like Me.

ResponderExcluirVê lá se, quando encontrares o gajo num festival qualquer, lhe dizes que sim, compraste o disco e coiso e tal
ResponderExcluirVou sacar. No outro dia vi-o na MTV, ou coisa que o valha, e pareceu-me convertido em pop star tanto pela atitude como pela música que me pareceu verdadeira merda.
ResponderExcluirahah lol
ResponderExcluirpor acaso também o vi no jay leno e não curti a coisa (parecia playback?)
bom, o disco está comercial (basta olhar para convidados: vocalista dos Maroon 5, Damien Marley, Kirk Hammet...). Mas as músicas (tirando uma ou outra mais fraca) são bem boas.
Sobre a atitude pop star, terá alguma, mas nada que se compare ao normal no mundo do hip hop.. nesse aspecto acho mesmo o k'naan uma lufada de ar fresco..
