This is the U.S.. It's not pretty, but it's the facts. instead of Arguing about whether you think it's true or not, how about we work to make This Country as perfect as we all want it to be?
anyone who likes good rap should like this song, but i have to say his view on america is absolute bullshit. i mean no country is perfect, but this is a complete hackjob
@AgnesSteinberg lol talk about a slave with no chains. But your right no country is perfect, but when a country takes 1/5 of your pay check to use it to fund wars in search of WOMD, while at the same time using that same money to produce their own.. Something is wrong. Open your eyes my friend, start seeing whats there and not what your told is there.
@StrongHandism everyone talks shit about the us and yet a lot of people in the world leave their homes and come to this country anyways i wonder why???

@StrongHandism listen buddy, im not the one getting lessons in governance and geopolitics from a rapper. the defense budget is a small fraction of what this country spends. the real money is in entitlements like social security and medicare. its a cute line but completely removed from reality. the basic point is this: everyone likes to shit on the country on top, but any rational person is sensible enough to realize that the US has had an overall positive effect on the world.
@AgnesSteinberg Positive overall effect you say? Please do enlighten me, what makes you jump to that conclusion?
Perhaps you should stop listening to FOX news and actually pay attention to what your country and goverment is doing around the world.
Since 1945 the United States have attempted to overthrow more than 50 foreign goverments, in the process the US has caused the end of life for several million people, and condemed many more to a life of agony and despair.
@AgnesSteinberg I do disagree with some of his statements of the U.S. but some of it is quite true. These asshole politicans get free vacations, free tickets on leer jets, while using OUR taxpaying money. Total bullshit.
Too bad America was a great nation. Was. Society changed it all. Greed, money, and social status. Turn on the T.V. and you will see what our society has become.
Lincoln, Jefferson, FDR, hell all the presidents would be rolling in their graves.
Someone must have missed the story about the Titanic, when the captain said,"Not even God Himself can sink this ship". Well, when you use God's name in vain like it's no big deal, you're setting yourself up for failure...

I'm 55 years young and even I can tell this cat spits sum real game. Eff the bling!! Brother Alli should be required reading and listening in all 50 states. Sorry I'm so late Brother Ali but intelligent hip hop is not what the corporate mindset is about to push. A little late to the show but I'm catching up quick. Keep preachin'.
@paralleldynasty. Word. I shouldn't have said anything. I few porters and stouts made me comment. I'm sure you both are highly intelligent individuals but talking about such unimportant things sometimes hits a nerve in me. For example someone calling someone out on their speilling and "gramer,," on a you tube post??? Basic typical human shit.
Wake up! You are the problem. I rock a 99 civic live in a shitty town house and don't have any fancy i phone or i pad or any thing else that is considered socially elite. But I do make what basic brainwashed humans would think is a lot of money. I donate and work for charities. I will retire at age 35 and after will work for the greater part of humanity. Stop the ego.
Thats not the point, this guy went out of his way to make a dispute over beer a financial squabble. Which is laughable considering who my parents are, ontop of what I make personally. Whether he believes it or not I don't mind shoving the fact that he's a loser down his throat if he wants to bring it up. My ego was called upon, I don't usually start every dispute I have with, " I'm independantly well-off who's an only child with rich parents. " Maybe I should though....
theres some really interesting insights from Brother Ali on how he writes his lyrics, he goes through his processes and methods in an interview he did for a book named, HOW .TO-RAP
also in that book they got hold of Aesop Rock, Pharcyde, Tribe, PE, Pharoahe Monch, Del, a lot of the really lyrical guys drop knowledge in that book....
I remember going to a Brother Ali show in Cincinatti during Scribble Jam 2000.
I was a nerdy white kid with about 30 cd's all stacked up in front of me.
He Sat down and just chatted for a few minutes (I was starstruck, I was like 13) and he was so down to Earth. Everyone was pretty damn cool, including Mikey RIP.
*I heard this dude just today because one of the comment of Immortal Technique a guy said watch " Jedi mind tricks, brother Ali " Now I'm like wow this fool known what he's taking about!!! Great song I will show this to my friends and pass it on...
Dont say fuck america. What you should be saying is fuck the way the government is changing the concept of what America really is... or was. Now its all about power and greed (and debt). Fuck that.
7 grade I got suspended for not standing for the pledge of allegiance ... They used to word ignorant to describe me almost a decade later it's comes back into play was I being ignorant or were they being an asshole?
the lyrics of this song apply even more today with all of these Wall Street frauds. This man Brother Ali is very conscious of what's going on. Keep spreading the word brother.
'Fist raised but I must be insane 'cause I can't think o' single goddamn way to change-it...' ... Me too brother. Me too. But I won't stop - keep making music - keep it real - and lemme know if you need an outkast drum junkie or a new website. This song has given me newfound faith in humanity - some people do understand. Still don't know what I'm doing though ... Fuck
The soul of a black man... I have conflicting views with that. I just think he has a soul. Period. Anyone, regardless of race, has the potential to speak from his soul. He just expresses himself through song. I give him big ups and his music is true to himself. Started listening to him last week, and already have heard the majority of his songs, literally my ipod is blowing up with Brother Ali. His beats are dope and he raps so clearly that it invites people to dispute him. Badass!
@Tripleclaw1 I hate how black folks always believe THEY THEMSELVES, as in these days, have been wronged by the slave trade. We're all fucking slaves now, you dumb fucking ignorant idiots, white/black/hispanic, they don't fucking care they'll lock you all up. Ever been to jail for 6 months for stealing a case of Coors? I have.
I know in life everyone will have a difference in opinion from time to time with another but Coors is way watered down tasting. When you drink a beer it should encompas a fullness and rich flavor along with a specific consistency, American beers usually fall short of that. I think I read you're under 21, so I wouldn't worry about it too much, I used to drink nothing but 40s as a kid. lol
@ParallelDynasty I'm 24 years old, and I love good beer. I live in Oregon, and I drink Black Butte Porter and Drop Top. Those are my beers. They're American. Try them before you diss on yet another thing America makes. People like you piss me off. America is NOT THAT FUCKING BAD!!!
Other than opressing the world and selling cheap bullshit at top shelf prices, I would be inclined to agree. I know there are SOME decent beers made here, but they're all almost from micro brewerys. Also I would cut off my dick if I could be made a Canadian national, America IS horrible.
@ParallelDynasty Move if you don't like it. Black Butte Porter is 12 bucks at [one of the] Plaid Pantries in Gresham, for a 12 rack of bottles. That's a fucking AWESOME price. Also, it's not as hard to get a job as all the unemplyed say. I have two of them. If you're too lazy to live The Dream, get the fuck out and let Canada deal with your ass!
Considering I'm 25 years old with a college degree, a nice car and am currently paying off my first house I would say you're the loser. I don't need to work two jobs because I made something of myself, you ignorant cunt. Unfortunatley for you-you're too stupid to follow a conversation and implement a valid point, so suck down the failures of your life with more cheap, shitty beer. You chump.
@ParallelDynasty xD You should see the two-story brick, three bedroom, 2 bath home I own, you ignorant fucktard. I don't NEED a college degree to have nice things. I have a bass boat, a 1990 Silverado c1500 (geared and cammed), and a 1970 Datsun PL521 pickup as a resto project. Go commit suicide and do the world a favor. Nobody cares about you, boy!
lol I don't work two jobs for my shit, you peasant. Also your vehicles arn't very nice, I wouldn't brag about them. A. it tells me you're lower middle class and B. it tells me you're a hilbilly, which is grounds to make fun of you on without knowing what a loser you are otherwise. Not to mention your house was probably fairly cheap and is located in a neighborhood with low property value. But I'll remember to be jealous of you at the end of the month when I go to the Bahamas.
@ParallelDynasty Okay, I'm in Clackamas County in Oregon, in a house that mortgaged at $545,000. For a first house, no college, straight out of a 800 dollar-a-month apartment, I'm doing pretty fucking good. Also, I didn't get any handouts from mommy and daddy or a trust fund from grandma. My folks are broke. Yeah I'm upper middle class, but that doesn't give you any right to come on here and be a little faggot punk bitch talking shit about things he only has in his wettest dreams. You lie.
Yea I'm sure your heavy ass 21 year old truck can out-run my $40,000 car... lol Anyways seeing as how you're a stupid redneck Ima go ahead and stop replying, otherwise this might be a never ending loop. Enjoy life in the fast lane with your racing Silverado, Mr. white trash. haha Maybe you can paint 3's on the side of it like the rest of you corn-fed losers.
@ParallelDynasty No, you're gonna go ahead and stop commenting because I told you to, son. And I'm a redneck, but I can still compose better grammar and spell better than you? Shut up, because money doesn't fix stupid.
Agreed. Even well-intended compliments can promote negative stereotypes, and all stereotypes are dangerous in the wrong hands. Best to just leave them alone.
fucking a.......thank you.....I agree completely...like anyone listening to this song wants to know any of your half-assed asinine opinions, just listen to the song...fuck
hahahha you fucking hypocrite....if you just want to listen to the song than shut the fuck up, dont read the comments and listen to the song. Take your own advice.
he espouses what you could call some libertarian views in this song, but there's nothing Republican about it. He doesn't like taxes because of what they are used for, not as a general economic principle.
"The cold continent latch key child ran away one day and started acting foul, king of where the wild things are, daddy's proud cause the Roman Empire done passed it down"
A white albino raised by black folk. Yeah, where would you fit in, where's your identity? Do you really need one to call it as it is?. Dude is a raw lyricist anyway... You don't feel this track you've been sleeping in the dirt the last 150 years.
wut i like about brother ali is that u nvr get sick of the song cuz u can listen to the message and pik something up evry time cuz there brilliant.....thats y the second time u listen to acdc u want to barf... cuz there to dam simple lyrics
the best raper out right now by far. hell, he's not even a rapper; he's a poet that decides to put his message over a beat. he appeals to the bottom and to the top. brother ali's doing his thing not for his bank account, or his record label. he's out there grinding for the all important; the fans.
funny how both sides seem to blame each other and see no fault in themselves. Republicans and democrats. Same team, different uniforms. The real teams are us, the people; and them, the government. There not the same thing anymore.
not much for rap but he is good. makes me hate mainstream even more. and the "Addiction to war" and the budget being negative each year would be the republicans. the democrats have a record for balancing the budget.
Your misguided. Democrats and Republicans today are ran under a bipatisanship meaning they are bought and bribed by interest groups. They are on the same team if you look up global warming, foreign policy, and new taxes. The real Repubs are conservatives and libertarians such Denise Kucinich, Ron Paul, Bob Barr (they are against war and all the above)..
And you know who runs one of those interest groups? Dick Cheney, making money off the government and his own company greedy bastard. His grand children will be able to live with out raising a finger, while were out in the real world working our asses off hoping that our children can have a better future.
We elected him, we elect them, most don't care about us they just want the money from the lobbyists. they make choices for themselves ,not the people they're supposed to represent.
Seems like the US has become a one-party state. The business party has two main factions (Reps and Dems) who sometimes disagree on some minor points, though.

@ParallelDynasty I'm 24 years old, and I love good beer. I live in Oregon, and I drink Black Butte Porter and Drop Top. Those are my beers. They're American. Try them before you diss on yet another thing America makes. People like you piss me off. America is NOT THAT FUCKING BAD!!!

Other than opressing the world and selling cheap bullshit at top shelf prices, I would be inclined to agree. I know there are SOME decent beers made here, but they're all almost from micro brewerys. Also I would cut off my dick if I could be made a Canadian national, America IS horrible.

@ParallelDynasty Move if you don't like it. Black Butte Porter is 12 bucks at [one of the] Plaid Pantries in Gresham, for a 12 rack of bottles. That's a fucking AWESOME price. Also, it's not as hard to get a job as all the unemplyed say. I have two of them. If you're too lazy to live The Dream, get the fuck out and let Canada deal with your ass!

Considering I'm 25 years old with a college degree, a nice car and am currently paying off my first house I would say you're the loser. I don't need to work two jobs because I made something of myself, you ignorant cunt. Unfortunatley for you-you're too stupid to follow a conversation and implement a valid point, so suck down the failures of your life with more cheap, shitty beer. You chump.

@ParallelDynasty xD You should see the two-story brick, three bedroom, 2 bath home I own, you ignorant fucktard. I don't NEED a college degree to have nice things. I have a bass boat, a 1990 Silverado c1500 (geared and cammed), and a 1970 Datsun PL521 pickup as a resto project. Go commit suicide and do the world a favor. Nobody cares about you, boy!

lol I don't work two jobs for my shit, you peasant. Also your vehicles arn't very nice, I wouldn't brag about them. A. it tells me you're lower middle class and B. it tells me you're a hilbilly, which is grounds to make fun of you on without knowing what a loser you are otherwise. Not to mention your house was probably fairly cheap and is located in a neighborhood with low property value. But I'll remember to be jealous of you at the end of the month when I go to the Bahamas.

@ParallelDynasty Okay, I'm in Clackamas County in Oregon, in a house that mortgaged at $545,000. For a first house, no college, straight out of a 800 dollar-a-month apartment, I'm doing pretty fucking good. Also, I didn't get any handouts from mommy and daddy or a trust fund from grandma. My folks are broke. Yeah I'm upper middle class, but that doesn't give you any right to come on here and be a little faggot punk bitch talking shit about things he only has in his wettest dreams. You lie.

Enjoy life in the fast lane with your racing Silverado, Mr. white trash. haha Maybe you can paint 3's on the side of it like the rest of you corn-fed losers.

Agreed. Even well-intended compliments can promote negative stereotypes, and all stereotypes are dangerous in the wrong hands. Best to just leave them alone.

If you had to say, hes kinda republican - atleast in certain areas. Nothin wrong with that. This track goes so hard, inspiring really.
DJGskull 2 years ago
he espouses what you could call some libertarian views in this song, but there's nothing Republican about it. He doesn't like taxes because of what they are used for, not as a general economic principle.

A white albino raised by black folk. Yeah, where would you fit in, where's your identity? Do you really need one to call it as it is?. Dude is a raw lyricist anyway... You don't feel this track you've been sleeping in the dirt the last 150 years.

the best raper out right now by far. hell, he's not even a rapper; he's a poet that decides to put his message over a beat. he appeals to the bottom and to the top. brother ali's doing his thing not for his bank account, or his record label. he's out there grinding for the all important; the fans.

funny how both sides seem to blame each other and see no fault in themselves. Republicans and democrats. Same team, different uniforms. The real teams are us, the people; and them, the government. There not the same thing anymore.

not much for rap but he is good. makes me hate mainstream even more. and the "Addiction to war" and the budget being negative each year would be the republicans. the democrats have a record for balancing the budget.
AtheistManifesto 3 years ago 7
Your misguided. Democrats and Republicans today are ran under a bipatisanship meaning they are bought and bribed by interest groups. They are on the same team if you look up global warming, foreign policy, and new taxes. The real Repubs are conservatives and libertarians such Denise Kucinich, Ron Paul, Bob Barr (they are against war and all the above)..
teo829 2 years ago
And you know who runs one of those interest groups? Dick Cheney, making money off the government and his own company greedy bastard. His grand children will be able to live with out raising a finger, while were out in the real world working our asses off hoping that our children can have a better future.
We elected him, we elect them, most don't care about us they just want the money from the lobbyists. they make choices for themselves ,not the people they're supposed to represent.
