Also, mumble rap really shows the rap game has declined.

Complemented him on his performance at the festival, and he just said thank you and shook my hand, surprised after seeing him on stage how soft-spoken he was. Few moments in life get to meet, let alone speak with someone like him, but always remember that and the performance that day. He knew was playing to a crowd of Canadians unfamiliar with Somalia so during the performance he did asides to teach us a little of the language and educate us on the meaning of the songs.

I like the way he takes old quotes and rehashes them in present vocabulary. The opening line goes back several centuries and there's actually more to it which is enlightening if you read the original. Not heating but just saying what's new is old and what's old is new.

Omar Ali Egypt is in Africa which makes it an African country because it's located in North East Africa it's also the closest country to the middle east so it's seen as both African and middle eastern but Africa more as middle east is usually the gulf countries.
@umaraly8 жыл бұрын
Gulf Countries are Middle Eastern as well as Egypt which is located in North Africa same as Lebya. .etc Northeastern African countries are different & very faraway from Egypt. Egypt and Egyptians are Middle Eastern Arabs this is your identity and how the hall world sees you.
