Baaba Maal

Baaba Maal (born 12 November 1953) is a Senegalese singer and guitarist born in Podor, on the Senegal River. He is well known in Africa and internationally is one of Senegal's most famous musicians. In addition to acoustic guitar, he also plays percussion. He has released several albums, both for independent and major labels. In July 2003, he was made a UNDP Youth Emissary.

Baaba sings primarily in Pulaar and is the foremost promoter of the traditions of the Pulaar-speaking people, who live on either side of the Senegal River in the ancient Senegalese kingdom of Futa Tooro.

Early life and education

Baaba Maal was expected to follow his father and become a fisherman. However, under the influence of his lifelong friend and family gawlo, blind guitarist Mansour Seck, Baaba devoted himself to learning music from his mother and his school's headmaster. He went on to study music at the university in Dakar before leaving for postgraduate studies on a scholarship at Beaux-Arts in Paris.

Television

ghettorap hin ghettorap her,
junge du hast kein talent und du wirst nie millionär yeah
ich bin ein superstar baba saad ist mein name 35000 euro monatliche einnahme
guck wie ich mein haze jeden tag aus und ein atme
fick mit deiner mutter nebenbei wenn ich mal zeit habe
echter gangster, dürfen nur cl fahren, benz amg, schwarzgetönte fenster
und ich glänze mit authentität
mach ein song fick den beat bring es raus auf cd
ich bin übertalentiert maskuliener streit man
kommt ran eins gegen eins ihr seid gleich dran
wir sind das label nummer eins für die hood
du bist du ich bezahle kein cent für mein schutz
und deswegen hab ich keinerlei respekt vor den andern
baba saad aka der mann mit der pumpgun
deutschland ist mein land ich bin der kanzler
wenn ich will roll ich über euch wie ein panzer
schutzweste an sturmmaske auf
ab jetzt wird rasiert deutschrap wird zu staub
deutschland ist mein land ich bin der kanzler
wenn ich will roll ich über euch wie ein panzer
schutzweste an sturmmaske auf
ab jetzt wird rasiert deutschrap wird zu staub
rapper wollen beef ich komm mit neun millimeter
zieh die pistole zerstöre die gegner
ihr habt lang genug gewartet
guck wie ich jetzt deine hood vergase
baba saad fick die hitparade
das ist prollrap mit breitreifen
und wenn ich komme gebe ich dir und deinen jungs grund zum einscheissen
ich bin intollerant gib kein schwanz mehr die hand
nuttensohn bleib mir lieber auf distanz
ich bin back deutscher rap ist meine kleine bitch
ich sag es wie es ist keiner von euch ist wie ich
ich war einer der ersten und der letzte der stehen bleibt
ich frag mich warum ihr bei beef nie zu sehen seid
ich bin jenseits von gut oder schlecht
du bist fresh kein problem doch wo ist dein mund du keck
und deswegen hab ich keinerlei respekt vor den andern
baba saad aka hart wie ein panther
deutschland ist mein land ich bin der kanzler
wenn ich will roll ich über euch wie ein panzer
schutzweste an sturmmaske auf
ab jetzt wird rasiert deutschrap wird zu staub
deutschland ist mein land ich bin der kanzler
wenn ich will roll ich über euch wie ein panzer
schutzweste an sturmmaske auf
