Timbuktu - "You know better"

Jason "Timbuktu" Diakité is this 31 year old Swedish hip hop artist that is one of my favorite artists here in Sweden. He is one of the few who actually sounds cool speaking and singing in our dialect hehe. That is although the less important reason for liking him. He is good at what he does and he has something to say and he is not afraid to say it!! More people should definitely be more like him...and I wouldn't mind if more Swedes should look a little bit more like him :-) (not concerning clothes)

Article where he says that he couldn't care less about the definitions of right or left and what he wants to put forward with his music is humanism.

"Ingen av oss kan ju värja oss mot kapitalismen, vi är alla delaktiga i den. Men jag anser att man måste försöka att påpeka det som är fel. Att trampa på människor för att tjäna en slant är helt enkelt inte rätt! Jag föreslår att du lägger din energi på att kritisera dom som på omoralisk väg gör sej mätta."

"None of us can defend ourselves againt capitalism, we are all part of it. But I think that one has to try to point out what is wrong. To step on people to make a buck is simply not right! I suggest that you put your energy on criticizing those who in amoral ways feed their bellies."
(freely translated by me, as always)

"Gott folk" with Timbuktu
