chi ali - Age Ain't Nothin' But a # (Number)

[chapeauetbarbe]

Nas must have been influenced by this shit man, Chi-Ali was what Nas is to us now.

[chapeauetbarbe]

Roy Ayers break, but what is that other break-the piano break-anyone know man. Not to cyber-dig, but, yeah, that shit is nice.

[armita22]

I heard he's not as handsome as he was when he was kid.

[XTRABIG]

I was in HS when this dropped. We were all like yo he's our age and doing it!! What happened to having hood chix dancing in the background in videos?

Beatnuts on prdctn...On point!!

[BLAKPEARL69]

i remember this. too bad he's in jail.

[blaqjem]

I am his #1 fan in the world, PERIOD! I was in love with this nigga when I was about 14, and I knew the whole cd by heart! Im probably the only person in Indiana who even copped this mug! Anybody rememer the group, Tha Fam-Lee? They had dreads and shit. Jam Master Jay found them, and I really want to see one of their videos.

[beedo1976]

alot of people think it was over 300 dollars and cd's but it wasnt. he has a baby with the brothers sisiter and they argued over the phone because the brother wouldnt give 20 dollars to the sisiter til chi ali could make it there and he(the brother) threatened him(chi) so chi seen him in the street and blasted him. he is eligible for parole feb 2013 so earliest he has is 5 more years to go.

[Wonkie6060]

This was my cut! I thought he was so cute back then but he had a mess up hand!

[MARIACLASS]

i would not go as far as his the best rapper his older brother from black sheep

[XTRABIG]

Man i luved this joint. I was in high school.

I think the beatnuts produced the track...its banging. WE were like oh sh*t this kid is like our age rhyming, doing videos and got a deal.

We were like you we can do this too.

Everyone who was in high school in the early 90's thought like that.

[ampj2]

I use to have this TAPE!!! Chi Ali was my guy! His brother was Dres from Black Sheep. I miss the 90's!!!

[bigdscott]

The cat introducing the video sounds like J. Michael Harrison, host of WRTI's (Philly-Temple U.) "The Bridge" on Friday nights.

[sotocapo]

too bad son in prison. he was going to be kinda nice in the game. this song is still better when he was young than any of these songs out now with these youngstas...wow. that is y this is a classic: stands the test of time.

[Clayvion]

Man, that situation he got himself into is sad.

[hoopersgone]

It is sad this guy is probably gonna be in jail for the rest of his life.

[armita22]

It's Muuuurrda!

[H0Hum]

Bigs Up to VJ Ralph McDaniels still trying to keep Video Music Going with The Bridge.

[exclusive1997]

video music box was so dope back then!

[jabron1973]

Rap City and Yo MTV Raps was playing real hip hop videos back in 1992 also. Now, cats like us have to depend on youtube to see real rap videos like these now. what a shame

[lnl1520]

hell ya video music box was da shit!

[jhabney]

You know it still comes on Friday night ......

[candiicaine]

[ajafogel]

He killed his ex-girlfriends brother.

[sab1175]

Yeah, I remember seeing him on "America's Most Wanted" back in the day.

[chapeauetbarbe]

Serious, he seems like he was so together man, and then he wilds out and kills, damn, what a let down.

[jarbon5]

One of the greatest Hip Hop songs of all time. Even at an young age, he's teaching women the lessons of maturity. Wise teacher Chi Ali. Wish he was still makin records cuz he'd be on the same level as Nas an'nem. One of the greatest.

[armita22]

he in jail for killing hs baby mamas brother haven't you been listening?

[H0Hum]

The Beatnuts were his ghost writers. He was just a child star. Incredible song though. G_d bless you Chi. See you when you get out.

[1fbblover]

Dont no y he's in jail. But he was on Americas Most Wanted

[82014B]

In 2001 for the death of Sean Raymond, the brother of his then girlfriend. Chi evaded police for a number of weeks before his capture. Reports at the time indicated that the incident stemmed from the loss of $300 and an unknown number of CDs. Chi Ali is currently serving a 14 year sentence at Elmira Correctional Facility, in Elmira, NY.

[beedo1976]

[beedo1976]

[BBLAZEBOY]

Damn the Arc was poppin back then..it

[BBLAZEBOY]

[Swiffysun]

Chi ali would prolly still be making noise right now. He's Dres from Black Sheep lil brother. Native tongue Fam.

[NJHarlem]

nah dres isnt his older brother. but they are close, but not blood

[armita22]

No he not.

[IAmCrack69]

noo he's not his brother... they aint even related

[paceone2]

[catgirltx]

oooo woooooow the good old days. I was a senior when this jam came out. Naughty by Nature was hot that year , Kris Kross,lol I remember rushing home from school to catch Rap City!!!!every day.Damn time passes. I'm 33 now.

[Koolv32]

He was on America's Most Wanted

[peachesncreamme]

Such a sad situation that he's locked up....imagine what would have become of him in this day and age....

[virgo2086]

i was 5. i also thought the song came out in 92...i didn't pay attention to rap videos at the time.

[srxmrniceguy]

why is he in jail imean i know why but why

[DirtybirdGA]

The girl with the walkamn looks like the lady in Ray who asks Jeff "where can I get that record".

[ADIDDY626]

so true still to this day bitches iz so crazy ya dig

[armita22]

Yo son wathcha mouth we ain't female dogs cuz that's what a bitch is according to webster and the American dictionary.

[Kdynamix]

Even the womens brains ain't ready these days

[Simplicity75]

You mean the woman you meet? LMAO

Step your game up!

[jasarzulu]

peace to chi ali and dres mr. long i did'nt forget you brothers!!!

[LemonAndYoghurt]

[Reaer25]

HIS DOING 12 TO 14 YEARS

[smittied72]

thats what i thought i got confuse i thought is shyheim who got time, but it's chi- ali

[TheUntouchables6]

See that's what I'm talking about. Guys today act like they can't tell the difference between a little girl and a woman just because they hit puberty. STOP TRYING TO HOLLA AT CHILDREN!!!

Chi Ali know what the deal is. Grown men be trying to holla at 15yr old girls. Their brain is not ready. I don't know.

[scorp1179]

His lyrics were sick.. dam.. I didn't know he was locked..

[Simplicity75]

I've read, that he shot his brother in law. They had an argument over $300 and a cd collection.

[Getlikemnow]

I remeber when dis song came out my friends and i use to sing it all the time.

[natigrlrskg1]

Damn shame you in jail!

[Funkdogg]
