"If Rap Gets Jealous," from K'naan's album The Dusty Foot Philosopher Deluxe Edition, is lyrically perhaps the most powerful song on the album. It is humble yet defiant. It is ultra personal but also puts the state of modern hip-hop under scrutiny.
The song is a release for K'naan, who uses the platform to reflect on his inner turmoil caused by years of living in a war-torn country and losing members of his family to the violence. K'naan uses his wrenching experience as a refugee to question the present state of some hip-hop, which has become a caricature of violence and thugery.

I have read positive feedback about this song and we have to agree. Ahhh, here it is a classic. Although you might not see it that way, it is hehe. Anyway, don't sleep on this joint. Click on the 'play'-button and enjoy!

I give it of 5 stars.
