Conspiracy Posted October 17, 2006 Racist scandinavians!!! K'naan air'd them out .. here is his Blog entry To The People It's been a while since i've actually had the chance to update you guys on new developments. Things have been crazy busy. So what's new? A lot. There are a lot of great things in the works. I've been inspired and recording nonstop in New York, which is where I am at the moment. I just did Def Poetry Jam with Mos Def tonight. We performed 3 of my songs for a beautiful audience in Times Square, with Mos singing back ups on Until the lion learns to speak, and Be Free, and then doing a verse on My God. It was really something to see. Actually you can see it, on the next season of Def Poetry Jam on HBO. Funny story... While I was in my dressing room, the Legendary George Clinton walked in. And he ate my pie! I'm serious. I had a pie that I brought from catering and George Clinton walked in, asked me if he could have a piece. "Of course" I said. And he collapsed half of the pie in his mouth. Then did something like "hmmmm that was good man, can I have another peice?" I said "Sure brother" Then he ate the other half, left the crumbs only to come back around again. "Yo that pie is tasty... mmm" proceeding to eat of the crumbs now... he says " I'll pay you back man" He cracked me up. Back to the recording sessions. What can I say, big things on the way for you guys. I don't really wanna spoil the surprises, so I'll leave it at, BIG TINGS SOON COME! And as far as touring, we're about to go back to Europe. But listen here's the thing, the last time we were there, we came across an experience. A confrontation. An instigation. An attempted dehumanization. Some of you may have heard or read about what happened in Sweden's Gothenburg. Where after the performance a bouncer wouldn't allow me to go backstage to collect my things, though I had my pass in hand. The story is deep, and Sol Guy (my friend and manager) ended up going to jail for the night in Sweden. And me and the band spent the night at the station waitin for him. While it was us who were disrespected and actually physically assaulted, it was also us who were betrayed, processed and reminded of the diseases in the human heart. Fortunately, we were traveling with a camera and so we have some of those people and some of the situation on camera. Those of you who know my music know that I've never really written for leisure. And that my experiences have always been at the forefront of my music. And you must agree, rarely is life uneventful. But this one called for special presentation. So I wrote a song, using Lupe Fiasco's Kick Push instrumental. Documenting the experience we had in Sweden, I call this song... KickED PushED. We also put together a video for the song, using the ACTUAL footage from the scenario. Nothing is re created, or re enacted, everything that you see is REAL. Enjoy it (it's hard to say that about this one) Peace, K'naan. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
