K'Naan, should i stay or should I go?

So my friend is in town tomorrow night and I am obliged to hang with her. Her and her friends are going to see this K'naan guy at the old Hammerjacks club or whatever tomorrow.
Anyone seen this cat? I am just listening to him now. I know he's nothing new but anyway.
its only $10. if you've seen him, a quick review would be cool. If you have, snarky comments are fine.

I heard he was amazing at Millennium stage a few weeks back.

coolness. yeah, i am liking his stuff, he's a bit like Lupe Fiasco but a bit more funky Root-ish.
hip hop shows in Baltimore are always iffy though.

I LOOOOVE K'naan, definetly check him out. His first cd was soooo trash though which is why I was hesitant about his new one. His new one is off the wall though, I really dig it.

Hip hop shows everywhere are always iffy. I'm two for three this year, though. Wu-Tang were pretty good and Common was great. Mos Def on the other hand…well there's a thread about that.

uh… i might be wrong, but i think sonick means "iffy" as in "questionably safe", not "questionably enjoyable".

You can see him for free at Soundgarden (maybe a less iffy venue?). They're also giving away free tickets to his Hammerjack's show.
Though if I lived in Baltimore, I'd be more inclined to see the free in-store by Bill Callahan. But then again, I'm a white lover of dad rock.

K'NAAN is a fantastic live performer and you will be missing out if you don't go to the show. $10 is a bargain for the show this guy puts on. I'd go if I didn't have like 10,000 different plans for tonight already.

K'Naan is really good - one of the few rap/hiphop acts that I really like. He can actually sing (gasp!) and his lyrics are intelligent. I've only seen him once (at one of the Toronto Island festivals a few years back). I'd definitely go see him if I wasn't playing hockey at the Verizon Centre tonite ::)
