Timbuktu is more like one of our swedish OG rappers from the 90s who brought a feel good vibe to everything he did.

Dude,. The fact that you don't bop to this makes me think you're aliens.. Timbuktu is a swedish legend!!! He goes back to the 90's🤙 🤩❤️👏❤ -& NO he's NOTHING like Pitbull...!!! It's hard to not get insulted by campareing the two.. Check up the lyrics, he knows what he's doing..!!

Thank you for the reaction. The direct translation of the song in English is 'everyone wants to go to heaven, but few want to die'. He's talking about greed and people's willingness to take and not give. Like I believe Chris stated in the video. I've liked, subscribed, and added notis on 😀

@@theonlychrisanddanshow A little more about the song, it was released on the album of the same name. It peaked at number 6 on the Swedish charts. In both Norway and Sweden the album went gold. The music video if I'm not mistaken was recorded in Ghana. This song is also an interpretation of loretta lynn's song 'everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die'. Timbuktu's song is essentially a direct translation of that song. Timbuktu has won plenty of Swedish grammies and has been in the game for a while now.

@@dansfera I wouldn't say he's very known in EU overall or internationally like Stromae. But yes, well known in Scandinavia and amongst Scandinavians. If I for instance lived in the UK or Germany it's very unlikely I would have known about his existence. Despite Timbuktu rapping in Swedish, he's a great english speaker. The reason being is because both his parents are Americans that had to escape the pressures of being an interracial couple in New York in the late 60s. His father also came from a poor background and couldn't afford getting a higher education. He however got it in Sweden. Essentially they moved to Sweden for a better life. Just a little fun fact i wanted you to know, I've typed alot under this tread hahaha
