Sweeden tolerant??

Some of you may have heard or read about what happened in Sweden's Gothenburg. Where after the performance a bouncer wouldn't allow K'naan to go backstage to collect his things, though he had his pass in hand. The story is deep, and Sol Guy (my friend) ended up going to jail for the night in Sweden. And K'naan and the band spent the night at the station waitin for him. While it was K'naan and his crew who were disrespected and actually physically assaulted, it was also them who were betrayed, processed and reminded of the diseases in the human heart. Fortunately, they were traveling with a camera and so they have some of those people and some of the situation on camera. Those of you who know his music know that he's never really written for leisure. And that K'naas experiences have always been at the forefront of his music. And you must agree, rarely is life uneventful. But this one called for special presentation. So he wrote a song, using Lupe Fiasco's Kick Push instrumental. Documenting the experience he had in Sweden, I call this song... KickED PushED. He 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)
