It's an Honor and Privaledge to have such a successful and intelligent outspoken artist from my hometown Madison Wisconsin! I find so much meaning from his songs about how you should keep yourself real not only to yourself but others around you. Inspiration is found in many ways but for me, its known that no matter where your from you can make something of yourself. Mad props Ali and thanks for reppin' Wisconsin in a positive light!
hey yamchu, nice to know you swallow down that theologoy mommy and daddy force fed ya without any second thought. death cannot exist without hell? haha, and if there is a hell, you would be first in that line. wear your hatred with pride youngin'.....you'll learn the hard way
@yamchu100 You don't have to type in capitals - it doesn't make it any easier to see. Er, why do you dislike gay people so much? I'm not gay, by the way, I'm bisexual. Let's talk about it.
As far as I can remember, Elton John is an extremely rich, successful and admired man. So I think if you're going to make an example of a gay person to promote your idea that they're somehow bad people, he's not the best choice.
Regarding your last point: I don't believe in hell. So no problems?
@PsychoticNeurotic what bisexual most bisexual people are women they say it like you re proud you will go to hell you tell me - you love dicks and pussy - are you serious - you tell me you like it in the ass while shitting - you gay bitch GO WILL BURN IN HELL
@yamchu100 Ok, so I am a girl - so maybe that explains why I'm bisexual to you (that's not to say boys can't be bisexual too).
And as crude as you like to be, it's not about sex or lewd sexual acts. It's about love, and whom you are attracted to. Maybe it will surprise you, but no - I do not in fact 'like it in the ass while shitting'. I'm not sure where you got that idea from. I just find myself attracted to boys sometimes (which you would presumably feel fine with), and girls other times.
@yamchu100 Haha, dude I'm pretty sure I'm a girl! My profile picture is of my high school chemistry teacher as he's in one of my videos.
Of course I'm not proud of being bisexual. Nor should anyone be proud of being straight or otherwise. Sexuality is not something to be 'proud' of. It's just a neutral aspect of people's lives.
@PsychoticNeurotic SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU GAY LIAR YOU WILL GO TO HELL YOU ARE GAY AND A LIAR - YOU ARE NOT BISEXUAL YOU ARE A GUY - AND YOU LIKE IT IN THE ASS WHILE SHITTING YOU DIRTY BASTARD
@yamchu100 Look man, I don't know what else I can do to make you believe I'm female besides upload a picture of my own god damn vagina - but to be honest I don't care. If you are truly that desperate to fantasise that I'm a gay male that enjoys some kind of sexual-based play involving faeces, then I guess I can't do anything about that. You go and continue satisfying yourself to that notion. Whatever floats your boat....
@yamchu100 how come someone as intolerant and ignorant as you ended up spouting shit on a Brother Ali video on YouTube. How did you get here, by accident? Surely someone as hate-filled as you isn't a fan of his work. Its sad that you even think those thoughts, let alone voice them in public. @PsychoticNeurotic; don't feed the trolls
@yamchu100 Er, I believe in people dying because it is a scientific fact. I don't believe in hell because there's no evidence for it. I really don't think one is as obvious as the other...
Is all your homophobia based on religious grounds? Come on man - even Brother Ali is religious and clearly he doesn't feel the same, as evidence from this song. Take a leaf out of his book.
Second verse makes me so happy, actually. Makes me so happy that I never really had any problems, while being in pretty much the exact same situation.
I understand 2pac... and all respect due to him... I've studied his life, his pain, his trials and tribulations... but today... I can safely say that in my mind... although Pac will never be replaced... Brother Ali comes closest to filling the void that I so dearly miss. Respect my Brother Ali.
Brothers video always spark some deep youtube debates, quality music...SUPPORT UNDERGROUND MUSIC and check out my page, just starting out so I need love love or hate I dont care, just let it out. Sub if you want to hear more...Thanks and peace
If you listen to his older stuff its better, if you listen to his newer stuff its not as good, its not hating just cause it hurts your feelings kid grow up.
@AlexanderMahan haha well its obvious whos feeling got hurt. I didnt come here to debate, im jus saying anybody that say lolz got no room criticizing a lynguist...and your still extra gay :)
great song..its not too fantastic though..rhymesayers set the bar for good hip hop and then fell off....ants beats just dont have the same vibe..isnt that the same sample from Blackalicious - Deception (Don't Let Money Change Ya)? anyways i know all you kids are on rhymesayers jock but they suck now lolz
@TheRickywit If it's cuz they put their shit up online then you shouldn't worry, anybody that listens to them has the respect to buy their albums, it's just how Minneapolis rolls.
brother ali fuckin rips it every song. i cant wait for the day im drivin and he comes on the radio...til then ill keep pretendin that whats on the radio is music
who cares who doesnt know of him, we do, and he influenced us enough to take time out of our lives to speak highly of him, im sure thats what he set out to do when he chose talent over money
who cares who doesnt know of him, we do, and he influenced us enough to take time out of our lives to speak highly of him, im sure thats what he set out to do when he chose talent of money
I didn't understand this song for so long because I looked at it as one story, but it's actually three separate stories in three verses, all about regular but different people... troubled just like the rest of us... and beautiful.
@finess33418 Ali wouldn't like your post. We love Ali because he is all about accepting everyone and calling them fags and saying get laid is not what this music is all about. Let people say what they want and don't go down to their level.
To all the fags that only have negative shit to say....If you could get yourself laid you wouldnt be soo angry...But you cant....Stop hating Ali is the fckin Man. Black, white, he could be a parapalegic asian he would still be the nicest out...Soo suck it and go get yours...No one cares about your next words...But me and a few hundred thousand are waiting on what the Brother Ali has to say.

word. he makes a living off of his music... that is more then many can say... it is a blessing. Without a doubt, he has positively affected more lives through his music than any current pop star and this is just the beginning...
He is not well known, but he is also far from unknown. The people that want to know the bounty of his music do. And he may not reach the numbers on mainstream radio, but there is definitely a deeper connection.
This song is so fucking real. It came up on my Lady Gaga Radio on Pandora randomly... Not sure how he fits in with her, but I needed to hear it. (^_^)
There's a movement happening right now as we speak. A hippie movement, where anti-establishment, underground, social gatherings, and peace are the core. We have freedom in America but yet we dont live free....Know your rights, use and abuse them, just like our dictator and people in Washington do.
he's known now! he was at Glastonbury this year!! and my brother went, saw him said he was incredible and then get loads of hats and t-shirts signed and gave me one :O !! and said he was a really cool guy!!!!!!!!!
If I had a nickel for everytime I stopped and thought to myself "This badass motherfucker is one badass motherfucker and this badass motherfucking song is, you guessed it, one motherfucking badass song" well then I'd have like.....eight bucks
@LastWeekIDidThis Oh of course, you got him, Jedi Mind Tricks, Immortal Technique, Blue Scholars, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. I was just repping Rhymesayers lol (plus Heiruspecs)
lol when i first went to highschool only like 5 people knew this guy.... now 20 people know him and he is growing more on people and know we have a crew going to ROCK THE BELLS ! hell yeah .... fuck the radio bullshyt
ive been rockin Ali s shit for years he hit conan obrien like 3 or 4 years ago, the problem is mainsteam is trying to put out dumb asss shit yo dumb the generation down to slow down the revolution. Get the word out to the lames. - also check common market, blue scholars,jedi mind tricks
The lyrics here are so much more meaningful than mainstream hip-hip. I swear, yesterday I cleary heard a mainstream artist say '99.7' (the radio station) in the middle of a sentence! It's freaking unbelievable what kind of subconcious advertising that the mainstream music industry will commit!
The First time I heard this track I almost cried. Intense respect to Ali for the gay empathy. Its about time the mindless homophobia rampant in hip-hop be approached.
Lol everyone stop feeling sorry for the guy because you people think he's unknown. This comes with being an underground rapper. Instead feel sorry for the people stuck on main stream that don't have the balls to open pandoras box and dig deeper.
@xGilxMercx It is good that he stays underground, cause there are so many good artist that changed when they got the exposure!...Lupe is changing too! and he was a lyrical genius...hope he never get famous, in a good way!...money changes the human soul and remember the Illuminati is on the wings on the music industry , so u got tip toe on a tight rope!
@xGilxMercx you got it right on the money. Mainstream rappers can even compare to under ground rappers like ali. he knows that if hes gonna go underground hes gonna be relativly uknown....lets just be happy that were on of the ppl that doess know him!!!
@xGilxMercx I don't feel sorry Brother Ali. He is living his dream and paying his bills touring the world and making music, on one of the dopest labels, out there in "Rhymesayers", he's respected by his idols and true hip hop heads and he dosen't have to compromise his music to do so. He talks about how happy he is on " Fresh Air". But your point is well taken and well said.
yeah man. people choose their path. People choose their own record label and way to distribute and advertise their music.
You can decide to sign up and let other people control what you say, do, and write about, or you can decide to retain more control over what you create.
this guy is soooo good and noone knows about him sometimes its a terrible waste of time and amazing talent like this because it dosent reach to people. his music is so great
@Nuk3Fish at least its reaching the people with open minds. A large percent of the population is narrow minded. People still think you have to be black to listen to rap or rap.. I hate people who refuse to dsicover how true this shit issssssss

@chuckcharlee Yeah, I'm pretty sure Ant produced this album, too. He was the DJ at a live show I saw of this here on youtube.

The lyrics here are so much more meaningful than mainstream hip-hip. I swear, yesterday I cleary heard a mainstream artist say '99.7' (the radio station) in the middle of a sentence! It's freaking unbelievable what kind of subconcious advertising that the mainstream music industry will commit!

Suprisingly this is not the first gay friendly track i heard. If you like this song check out Common's "Between you me and Liberation"

The First time I heard this track I almost cried. Intense respect to Ali for the gay empathy. Its about time the mindless homophobia rampant in hip-hop be approached.
ThePowers1979 1 year ago 15
Lol everyone stop feeling sorry for the guy because you people think he's unknown. This comes with being an underground rapper. Instead feel sorry for the people stuck on main stream that don't have the balls to open pandoras box and dig deeper.

@xGilxMercx It is good that he stays underground, cause there are so many good artist that changed when they got the exposure!...Lupe is changing too! and he was a lyrical genius...hope he never get famous, in a good way!...money changes the human soul and remember the Illuminati is on the wings on the music industry , so u got tip toe on a tight rope!

@xGilxMercx you got it right on the money. Mainstream rappers can even compare to under ground rappers like ali. he knows that if hes gonna go underground hes gonna be relativly uknown....lets just be happy that were on of the ppl that doess know him!!!
Beauthekid 1 year ago
@xGilxMercx I don't feel sorry Brother Ali. He is living his dream and paying his bills touring the world and making music, on one of the dopest labels, out there in "Rhymesayers", he's respected by his idols and true hip hop heads and he dosen't have to compromise his music to do so. He talks about how happy he is on " Fresh Air". But your point is well taken and well said.

yeah man. people choose their path. People choose their own record label and way to distribute and advertise their music.
You can decide to sign up and let other people control what you say, do, and write about, or you can decide to retain more control over what you create.

@Nuk3Fish at least its reaching the people with open minds. A large percent of the population is narrow minded. People still think you have to be black to listen to rap or rap.. I hate people who refuse to dsicover how true this shit issssssss
