WHO THAT MAN CHIT IS FUNY

[Roortoker420]

@timmychips

Listen to Cause of Death by Immortal Technique, all he raps about in that song is politcal shit.

[timmychips]

@Roortoker420 i was talking about tech nine

[DJSkinnyHo]

@timmychips If you were talking about Tech Nine in the same sentence as Brother Ali you are an idiot.

[timmychips]

@DJSkinnyHo someone was going on about love these political rappers like ali and tech, when he said tech i thought he was talking about tech nine and hes not political at all but he was talking about immortal technique dont be hatin

[Wisconsin222]

@DJSkinnyHo Though Tech Nine and Brother Ali should do a song together, that song would have great flow on both parts.

[DarkoMusiqBeatz]

@Wisconsin222 i have to disagree. Ali is way more organic and less intense than Tech.

[Rorix9]

@Roortoker420 whats wrong with that? politics directly effects your daily, whether u like it or not

[adonZor]

@timmychips

Bro, you can't be serious. Do you know how many times he reference something political like the Patriot Act? Or the United States Government and 9-11?

[timmychips]

@adonZor i was talking about tech nine

[kyoukilis20]

watch?v=oG7UzPMPj-k

best ali song

[ReCkORDdatt]

great music.

[gajuresco]

White skin and black soul. The incredible Brother Ali. Peace from Poland

[HighandMighty609]

This is tough man....real music for real ears...you gotta love it....underground artists like MURS, CYNE, BLU, BRO ALI, ESOTERIC, TOP SCHOLARS, Jay Electronica, Big KRIT ALL NEED TO BE LISTENED TO BY THE MASSES!!!Please pay them their respect!

[RiOtm4k3r]

MUSIC IS JUST TASTE. SO SHUT UP

[lilbobmarly]

Tech and Ali are two different styles really Just cause theyre both independent doesnt mean its that easy to choose whos best. Tech is more of the 'dont give a fuck, change the system' hard kind of rapper. Hes the hard that no one should mess with him. His details and metaphors are so descriptive, and hes so well educated, that no one would beef it with him.

[lilbobmarly]

Ali is the 'family oriented, god above everything else, down to earth, humble' rapper. His raps go hard but in the sense that most people can relate to them, that hes admirable cause he can rap about his insecurities, financial situation, and religion, but still be damn proud of it.

[lilbobmarly]

They're two different styles but are my two favorite rappers. The only time I can decide who is best depends on whether im in the mood for rebellion, or storytelling.

[90mjr]

hehe bijcie sie :) popatrze a noz to beda dwie laseczki

ps me too i ve got the fire in my eye

[dfick111]

soundset is gunna be the shit this year!

[dikhed0001]

just listen to the skills of both artist and shut the fuck up clowns

[SEnglert]

where did this track come from....HEATISH!

[demari93]

Brother Ali is extremely underrated..Theres still plenty of people who need to hear his message...Real music...Why so many good artists not gettin the recognition like they should like jay elec,currency,immortal tech, top scholars,etc?

[drj260]

@demari93 Bro just shut up. You clearly don't know what your talking about. Your not supposed to fight over who's better. That's gay. Why do you think collaboration exists? Good music, IS GOOD MUSIC. So just listen to it.

[JRY17]

@drj260 thats terrible logic good artists collab with bad artists all the time its a way to get one of the two more publicity look at tech n9ne and wayne their about to do a collab.

[somaliadon]

Both I.T & ALI are great but you guys should check out K'Naan they call K'Naan the bob marley of hip hop

[Scorpio3101]

I've got one of his albums, haven't listened to it thoroughly, I remember liking the track with Mos Def though (You probably know what album it is by that comment, I can't remember, rofl)

[antibonn]

Brother Ali u are #1

[MuhammedP23]

@Avazjan dnt forget Jay Elec ;)

[gmodfanforlife132]

@Avazjan there hip hop artist not rappers. rappers are terrible and brother ali and technique are far from terrible. insulting to call them rappers

[JRY17]

@gmodfanforlife132 your a fucking moron and thats all the response you deserve

[gmodfanforlife132]

@JRY17 your basing that oponion off what? your probaly some little punk that doenst know anything about music your gonan cal his shit rap to its not rap fucktard go lsiten to lil wayne you have no right to be here. and thats more than enough of a comment you derserve

[JRY17]

@gmodfanforlife132 opinion? i didnt give you an opinion? i gave you facts. fact: good artists collab with bad artists. fact: tech n9ne said he would be down for doing the collab wayne proposed while in jail. fact: i cant stand lil wayne but at least tech gets more distribution now. fact: Ali is a rapper whether you place him beside wayne or not he's still a rapper. his presentation is delivered through rap. fact: Ali is not a one-dimensional rapper like wayne fact: hiphop's a culture rap is a

[gmodfanforlife132]

@JRY17 fact. you used to many words noone cares to read your jargon fact good job wasting your time writing this when noone cares fact yes i hae listen to his music i saw him live aswell. and rap isnt a culture that hip hop expresse's hiphop is a culture of art and expression that stupid close minded individual's such as your self think is talent. and tech n9ne. is an angry idiot who raps aobut beating

[JRY17]

@gmodfanforlife132 fact: hiphop's a culture rap is a medium to express that culture. fact: you not wanting to call him a rapper does not make him not a rapper. fact: you hold no authority to tell me what rights i have and dont. opinion: based on your opinions on trivial matters i can safely assume you are an infantile man-child at best, who gets too worked up when he's debated. i can also assume you are a closed minded individual not truly concerned with advancements of the human race

[gmodfanforlife132]

@JRY17 up rednecks cus they called him nigger. there si not facts nothing is true everything is permited you reminded me of some stuck up sociologist evverythign you or i ahve to say is opnion unless it comes from tech or ali's mouth you sir and your opnion's can die in a hole

[JRY17]

@gmodfanforlife132 ooooh. you sure put me in my place good for youuu. for someone who doesnt care a whole lot you sure put some time into your response my compadre. and yes you can ask anyone since you wont listen to me hiphop is a collection of everything from djing to breaking to painting to rhyming. so reread words a little more carefully and you'll see your rebutals are futile as i never said rap was a culture. and as you have shown by your paradoxical response your are truly closed minded.

[gmodfanforlife132]

@JRY17 yes you did say rap was a culture you said rap was a culture and hip-hop was a way of expressing it idiot your to busy trying to come up with big words so you think your peers think your hella smart you dont even have a firm grasp on what you actualy typed.

[Hikaru2g]

@gmodfanforlife132, dude you're in no position to talk about calling people dumb, 1. You go around calling people the n-word, 2. You think opinions are facts and 3. You can't spell.

So my advice go to school, get your G.E.D, and drop the racist attitude.

By the way Hip-hop/Rap doesn't support people like you who use racial slurs.

[TsukuyomiGeass]

@Hikaru2g actually he is right, it's a pain for me being an african american male, a major pain, just look at us, the media look down on us, they think wer abusive, gansters, robbers, dumb, and irresponsible, it's a pain hikaru, i don't know why you like our race so much, but it's just not great, white people always above us, the n-word is the word of insignificance, we deserved it, white men are gods.

[JRY17]

@gmodfanforlife132 fact: hiphop's a culture rap is a medium to express that culture read and read carefully then read it again and after youve read it a 5th time go kill yourself dont waste time or thought trying to come off cool and smart with your lackluster quips and retorts. maybe if you read a book after you graduated youd still have some sense of an education. thats why hikaru saw through you too. your not smart your not even dim your translucent. dont give urself an aneurism respondin.

[TsukuyomiGeass]

@JRY17 yea i know, im an african american male and I hate my skin color, it sucks being dark, dirty, big lips, nappy hair, brown eyes, big nose, dumb culture, dumb ancestors, i hate everything about my race. Being white is a blessing from God, i hate myself. Your lucky, rock n roll was invented by a white man and it is waay better than rapping, i hate my race

[JRY17]

@TsukuyomiGeass good for you uncle ruckus. although i dont know why you responded to me i never said anything about any skin tone or race soooo?? also you do realize skin tone is just your melanins genetic reaction to UV radiation correct? based on your sentence structure and your tone i would assume you were being sarcastic which still leads me to my point of why did you respond to me?

[TsukuyomiGeass]

@JRY17 because this is Youtube.

[Hikaru2g]

@TsukuyomiGeass, no I should be the one asking you that, but your true colors came out

[TsukuyomiGeass]

@Hikaru2g sorry your mistaken, I'm not colored, which is tar, dirty, muddy, charred, ashy, and black. But bravo, yet again, you are so pathetic, have so much love for niggers.

[Hikaru2g]

@TsukuyomiGeass, Learn how to spell it's "You're" so the one that is pathetic is you, since you've made 2 accounts to spew your racist filth and pretended to be someone that you're not. Plus you don't work and you don't go to school make that you were kicked out of school.

So yeah that's pathetic

[TsukuyomiGeass]

@Hikaru2g HEY YOU LITTLE PRICK, WHEN I WENT TO darthsideous1968 channel, he happened to block me, idk why I know your ass behind this, spill the beans, you little chink, and you trying to act all slick.

[nakedbaby15]

@TsukuyomiGeass why dont you like black people, did a black person ever hurt you? because if he didnt i think mabey its time a black man should

[Hikaru2g]

@TsukuyomiGeass, it was obvious you're not african american, you're a white guy pretending to be African American and I knew it all along that's why I never responded to you.

So bravo for the true colors and the hypocritical side that came out of you xxxheavenstormxxx

[TsukuyomiGeass]

@Hikaru2g xxxheavenstormxxx? now what nonsense are you babbling about hikaru?

[Nishy02]

@Hikaru2g

figured that too...how stupid he sounds. just a sad man, realizing the true reality that perhaps he wished he were actually black...spurring hate for no reason at all. He sits behind his little computer and comment and makes the time, at that to listen admire and then comment...cant believe there are still people out there like him, so sad; such a lost soul.

-Proud to be what God made me!

not hating on other races; thats just signs of self-hate...

Hikaru2g, disregard him

[Hikaru2g]

@Nishy02, sorry for the late reply, what you just said I couldn't agree with you more

and you're right

[JRY17]

@gmodfanforlife132 but one who is more worried about trying to feign superiority over people you have never met via internet. have you ever actually listened to an Ali song or do you just play it so you can scoff at all your mainstream buddies and feel as though you are a part of something substantial when your most likely just another catalyst in the destruction of true art.

[deftoned516]

immortal technique is lyrical, but to be honest I think his beats are mediocre.

BK-One is DOPE as SHIT.

So is Ant.

Can't compare with technique.

tech is good too in his own way

but I prefer to listen to Ali.

[GNRfan187]

to say that brother ali has got nothing on immortal tech is like saying jordan has nothing on grant hill.

[PoopnSuch]

Immortal Technique blows

dance with the devil is a a good song rest blows

brother alis music is much much better

[caralinablue21]

@poopnsuch

i cant believe im responding to someone who would actually make an account called poopnsuch but immortal technique has many songs as good and better than dance with the devil. brother ali is a beast but sorry he has nothing on technique

[PoopnSuch]

I used to enjoy immortal techniques music until I've heard some 9-11 song. Forget whats it called. the information he put in there was false just to get some attention from the ignorant masses and feeding their ignorance.

It's one thing to make up a story and tell it but it another thing to mention real world events and provide false information and presenting it as fact. I completely lost respect for him after such a bitch move.

[caralinablue21]

@poopnsuch

well i dont know what song you are talkin about. could you get the name of it? and you said dance with the devils his only good song which is not true at all

[iluvrocknrap]

how do you know ? you now nothing about i.t so shut your trap

[iluvrocknrap]

opps im sorry i thought you were dissing immortal

[sykopath66190]

@poopnsuch

you obviously missed the point...ever consider the possibility that YOU'RE wrong and Technique's POV is correct? Of course not...that'd require critical thinking skills.

[PoopnSuch]

@sykopath66190

Ever consider that facts don't change based on someones POV? Of course not... that would require some brains. He presented false information as facts, misleading his listeners.

[deftoned516]

@caralinablue21

yeah to say dance with the devil is his best song,

is just basically saying "I've only heard one I.T. song"

lol

Ali is dope in his own way,

just like technique

If i feel in an upbeat mood I like to listen to Ali,

I listen to I.T. a lot of the time to listen to my frustrations,

spoken on track by a lyrical dude

[razvaNazdravan]

how can you say tech blows ? if you don't like his musical content it's a different thing but he has amazing lyrical abilities.

[lilsheep68]

he has better

much better....

[:

[njcarlos1]

my man can spit and most importantly, he's got an ear for the illest beats.

[09Slaughterhouse]

WICKED LYRICS+WICKED BEAT= ALI

[infinitefuture1]

Brother Ali.

Realest musician working today.

[chaussure721]

good rap !!  from france

[asthenia166]

this is true love for hip-hop

[AbattoirDream]

stop comparin rappers man, they both have diferent styles anyway, just be thankfull theres still some great, heartfelt hiphop, and intellegent mcs are still out there to entertain you like this.

[mmmichaelb]

real talk

[voodoochild85858]

man ali rips this one

[bistnenutte]

BROTHA ALI IS AWESOME!

[joannabarn]

sick tune....brother ali an tech are both amazing in there own ways...ali represents everything pure in humans where as tech tends to expose the darker side of humanity more...still 2 of the greatest :)

[infinitefuture1]

SICK ass beat. Sick ass flow.

Great song.

[bostonjoemattson]

Atmosphere and Brother Ali tonight in Boston, so keep talking about who's better, ill just be at the gig watching history!

[sargentmathlete]

i was there, fucking awesome show!

[GreatGanjaa]

albino fury

[ForeverUs]

Immortal Technique has been doing his thing LONG before it became popular to criticize the government. His wordplay isn't as good as Aesop Rock or Sage Francis', but he's certainly not overrated. His messages are more raw than 99% of all rappers.

[medioxcore]

his wordplay is hit or miss. sometimes his lines are basic and you can tell he picked certain words to rhyme certain words. but sometimes...

"The bling-bling era was cute but it's about to be done

I'll leave ya fulla clipse like the moon blocking the sun"

fucking sick.

[Augury08]

Immortal Technique is overrated.

[Br0k3nS41nt]

Fuck you guys saying one is better then the other.

Just listen and love.

Who cares about anything else.

[o0Goyom0o]

@Br0k3nS41nt ITs all about that MC Breed.. :)

[zbou23]

immortal technique= good

the brother? untouchable, arguably better than the guy that discovered him, Slug of Atmosphere

[ShaolinMantis]

id actually have to somewhat agree, as much as i like immortal tech and his message, slug and ali just got some mad flow .....i dunno

fucking love this shit

[Bo6us]

Brother ali is good, but nowhere close to immortal technique, with style, flow or subject. Immortal tech has more purpose

[vmm121792]

Technique has better subject in most songs, but Ali's flow is way better

[Bo6us]

Nahh..I don't think so. On my view i think Tech has the slickest words..You heard Caught in a Hustle by him??

[biggiesmalls0909]

techs one of my favourite has been for a long time but alis got an illll flow, industrial revolution by technique is so good though but i like freedom aint free by brother ali best probly

[Jonny13laze]

Ali has a dope delivery, his flow has swagger

[Apastwaitingtodie]

Sorry, I have to disagree on this one. Technique is more of a one trick pony with his subject matter. Sometimes he switches it up, but Ali doesn't even have to try to give potent subject matter. The Truth is here ep wasn't even Ali's best cd and he still hit hard. Tech is more of the political rapper. Ali is the down to earth, spit to you straight type of rapper. I chose Ali because it's more like he's speaking to you, rather than at you.

[Bo6us]

Immortal Technique imforms, and also can relate to us. "Caught in a hustle" "You never know" and many other tracks from him reminds everyone he isn't big headed.

[Apastwaitingtodie]

I feel ya. I understand. I love that song "you never know" just at the end of the day, it's justa matter of oppinion and what you feel. I chose Ali jus simply because i can relate to him more. Maybe tech speaks more to you. No disrespect to be given to either rapper though. I like tech also. So no love lost for either one

[Bo6us]

I see where you coming from. Ali's wise with words, but yeah, It all boils down to personal opinions.

[xxDaredevil20xx]

"Leaving the past"

[NBSpielkind]

yeah n what Technique sells as realness (all the illuminati ciatrystokillme-shit) is just an better illusion of his image. So to me theres no diff between soulja n Technique (backgroundwise , off course not skill,lyricwise) . Beein Blood n flesh off your words is essential in hip hop but Rap got a lot off Illusionsellers n even in da nonpopscene (cant call it underground, hes to famous) they are well-established. But we as Hop should be to conscious to get tricked by these trojan horses.

[Ranmik]

WTF, wow ur dumb, calling technique's background same as soulja girl

[sykopath66190]

"it's more like he's speaking to you rather than at you."

real talk.

[AddictoEnvy]

@Apastwaitingtodie Immortal Technique's rap is like a battle cry to the sleeping masses, that is why it seems like he is rapping you.

[BCmountainDriver]

@Apastwaitingtodie you chose Ali? Chose him for what? haha. and who are you?

[SanchitoCreep]

@Apastwaitingtodie I don't feel Technique is speaking at me. I love Ali's music and Technique's music, don't weigh either over the other. I also believe firmly that Technique purposly focuses on a specific subject with the intent of swtiching it up occassionally. Regardless, it's all about personal preference. They both speak truth. I ain't turning this into a competition.

[timmychips]

@Apastwaitingtodie i dont see how tech is political

[GnarcoticDIGI]

@timmychips Please tell me you're being sarcastic... Immortal Technique is sooooo damn political. Probably one of the most political rappers out there.

[ProblyNotYurNmba1Fan]

thats damn right....nobody can touch ali,even slug, but slug is still sick

[asthenia166]

obviously the people listening to this are going to compare him to every other emcee and say Ali is the best. so if you try to back any other emcee up in a comment over a brother ali video, you will get thumbs downed and hated upon.

[fistofthefearless]

nigga is fire..

this is why i underground it

[ModeSilverMusic]

prolly one of the best tracks from him! tough shit.

[lordfridge2]

Ali is the best hands down

[Avazjan]

Hell yeah, nobody in hip hop touches what this man does, not even Immortal Technique.

[Gozz6]

Dude IT kills this shit!!! la coka nostra kills him too plenty of better artists.. hes good but not the 'best'

[Avazjan]

Put your helmet back on and insert the mouthpiece, nobody has shit on my man Ali. He's pure fucking soul and truth made flesh. Immortal Technique's good and carries a lot of truth with him but he aint' an Ali, Illbill and crew are good shit but NOWHERE near.

This song isn't one of the ones that hits you in the face with the truth so hard you can't believe he just said that on record, but it's intense as fuck. If you have any soul at all "Daylight," "Self Taught" or "Victory" will wreck you.

[Orlyrly]

immortal technique can make a dope beat though, dont hate on the IT ahah

[sasmosphere]

Prolly my absolute fav ALI song.

Gettin' a tat pertaining to a specific line in this some day.

"It Ain't about the tunnel, it's the light @ the end"

[squatinWorldwide]

Damn i like this song ; )

[moojahideeN]

this must be rare, i can't find it anywhere. it's probably the only ali track i haven't heard. but once again, he got me shouting BOOM BA YAY

[UnderGround50]

yeah its off the 'off the record' cd he put out

[balisong911]

HEAT!!!!!

[nickbembridge]

wicked

[uptownjesusRS]

sick
