4.0 out of 5 stars
A great album even if you're not a rap fan,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Troubadour (AmazonMP3 Exclusive Version) [Explicit] (MP3 Download)
I'm not usually a rap fan - I listen more to jazz, roots and world music - but I really enjoyed this album. Musically it runs a wide spectrum, from African-tinged rap, to pop, with even a rock number thrown in. K'naan does a great job with all these genres. He's a very talented songwriter and singer with a lot to say.
It's interesting to hear a voice from Somalia after reading about it so often in the paper: "the worse place in the world right now" as K'naan says in one song. His descriptions of a childhood on the streets are very poignant and his songs about hope and pursuing his dreams are really moving. The song "Waving Flag" picks up Bob Marley's mantle. K'naan is not Marley, but then, neither was Marley when he started out. I am sure other reviewers will write about this in the context of rap music, and how K'naan stands up to American rappers; but even if you are not a rap fan, you should still check out this album. K'naan is an important voice and his music resonates well beyond any one genre or listener group.

Finally, a good hip hop record!,

This review is from: Troubadour (AmazonMP3 Exclusive Version) [Explicit] (MP3 Download)
I'm really not that into commercial hip hop until I found K'NAAN. Don't let the fact that his music is in constant commercial rotation on MTV give you the wrong idea. He puts excitement back in to the genre because his rhymes aren't about how much money he's got or how many girls he's with. His words have substance and meaning, and because he comes from Somalia, he has real world experience to back it up. However, just because he's more of a serious MC, doesn't mean he still can't make you dance. Every song on this album is good and worth a listen, especially "I Come Prepared", "Dreamer", "Bang Bang" and especially "Wavin' Flag".
