Somali and The Notion of being cool and Gangsta?

[King-of-Awdal]

Does every Somali have to freaking listen to Rap, Hip Hop and RnB? Why cant i Like rock music and bands such as the the Killer's, Cold Play, White Stripes and Linkin Park and my Favourite Gun's and Rose's.

[Shirib]

No, u should listen to Magool, Xassan Adan Samatar, Hibo Nura etc.

[abdikarim86]

there is a lot of somalis in london who listen to "white music"
especially them west londoners

we call them sweet boys

[grandpakhalif]

Listen to Quran, and lectures

MUSIC IS XARAM

`There will be people of my Ummah who will seek to make lawful; fornication, wine-drinking and the use of ma`aazif ( musical instruments ).`

[King-of-Awdal]

Shirib

You should be ashamed of yourself, Cold Play iyo Linkin Park is music? Cacuudubillah
I hate when Somali's ridicule others for listening to rock/indie/alternative, rap and all that other stuff is just as foreign to us
The Libertines , when I started listening to proper music

^^

Cold Play has a record that Speak's for itself and Linkin Park are just Linkin Park. Iam Hoping to head to Austin Texas this year for the South by Southwest Festival.

not every somali listens to rap, hip hop, etc. genre..well i'll speak for myself i like every time of music, somali ppl that stick only to rap are close minded & don't know good music .....

[Voltage]

It is a defense mechanism. Most Somalis, being first generation new immigrants, can't fit in with what is considered white mainstream culture so they resort to those closest to them with which they can identify.
