Apart from few Somalia songs? lmoa, 'few' would definitely be considered misused in that sentence, knowing that he uses not only Somali legendary songs, but also other EAST AFRICAN and AMERICAN oldies samples in his songs. Even most of his beats were re-sampled from oldies, like the rest of the hip hop world nowadays. I liked his old "the dusty foot philosopher" album, but this one is just too comaecialized. I like the brother, but he'll gain my full attention and admiration when he becomes original. Besides, you're judging the girl by reading the lyrics, and you haven't even heard of her song yet? lol Well, check this out. They should have made the "streets of amerika" her single instead of "day will come" which I heard so many freaking times. So listen to "Streets of America" and let me know if you change your mind. here is the link http://www.ilike.com /artist/Somalia I tried to search it on itunes but i can't find it.
PS. Who is Warsan Shire? Never heard of her.
Kool Kat, I'm sensing that you're SOMALIA. lol The way you laid out everything, makes me realize that her dressing code and her innocent look is a seller. lol I kid you, but she is tight, and i like her, and no, I'm not being a sexist just a little feminist with a little love for music coming from the sisters ... LOL
