Album Review

K'Naan's 2005 studio effort The Dusty Foot Philosopher was a monumental critical success: it earned the Canadian hip-hop artist a Juno Award for Best Rap Recording in 2006, and featured two singles, "Soobax" and "Strugglin'," both of which helped put K'Naan on the map as a respected Canadian hip-hop musician: a title that is held by few. The album was re-recorded live in 2007 and released as The Dusty Foot on the Road.

wow

this is the type of music that should overshadow all of the crap that is on the radio... this is musical poetry and it is from the heart..... WOW

Amazing!!!

I'm blown away. I just watched Harold and Kumar 2 and heard a song that sounded cool. When i checked it out, I stumbled across one of the greatest artists that has come out of this generation and easily one of the best rap albums in years. Finally, we have a rapper with a message, soul, and a vocabulary! Music you can play for your kids and tell them "this is what rap was meant to be." It's astounding that an artist like this is not more popular. For whatever it's worth, I'm going to introduce K'naan to everyone i know and meet from now on and try get music with a message and emotion out into the world. Great work K'naan and keep it up.

K'naan is the reason I own an Ipod

There is nothing i can say about K'naan accept pure poetry. This is the rap people should be listening to on the radios! I just can't imagine why this isnt more popular. Truely great in all ways K'naan Your a role model in the rap community.
