Chi Ali - Funky Lemonade

[FUDGEFILTHYFRESH]

Did anyone notice how DEEEEP his voice got from the time he dropped "Age ain't nothin but a #" to this joint. PUBERTY like a mutha!!! He went from a Tenor to a Baritone within 6 months!!!

[lastboyscout79]

Still shocked that boy in jail for shooting someone over album collections!!!

[dj4monie]

Primo!

[armita22]

My man chi is chuuubbbbyyy. Yeah ni99a gained some weight in the pen. He still look good though. He jus short as hell. Ni99a like 5 5'.

[alstan631]

The Beatnuts hooked this up!

[callumbrowns]

This is hip hop. Nowdays it should be called hip pop. Chi was so smooth on da mic. This is talent and in music that is a big word.

[bxtoyotero]

oooo vj ralph mcdaniels... yall dont know about that...

[armita22]

I used to love Chi Ali back in the day...and I still do even though he's an inmate now.

[Raduuzek]

looks like a Video by CHI..

[armita22]

Damn, when Chi Ali comes outta jail, where is he gonna work at? He'll be 40 yo.

[modestmark]

Damn...this ish soooo hot!!! Beatnuts could do no wrong with this joint...Chi would have been one of the best if he wasn't in jail.

[modestmark]

This dude, "realhiphopsucks" is wack...this ish is so hot man--how can you diss this classic ish?

[Astroxtl]

man i hate when you buy the cd for the video mix and its not the same as the video

[armita22]

I though he was so cute when he first came out with his first single "Age ain't nothin' but a number".

[armita22]

He killed his baby mommas brother because he owned him money and stole some CD's from him. My brother is close friends with him and plus they spent time in jail together. My brother had nothing to do with the crime Chi commited though.

[jairock5]

LOL.."realhiphop" you were still dancing in your daddy's balls when this track came out!

[realhiphopsucks]

this shit is wack

[jairock5]

LOL..realhiphop, you were still dancing in your daddy's balls when this shit came out.

[uni213verse]

oh I get it.

reverse symbolism right?

[armita22]

no it's not...it's hot and he's fine as hell.

[LazarusDurden]

Just based on your account name I'll assume you're more then a little biased.

[jaymanhoss]

{lol} U suck! HAHAHAHAHAHA

[LazarusDurden]

I see you on all the old school Hip Hop I enjoy. I think sub-consciously you like Old School. It's okay. No one will judge you realhiphopsucks. You can like it. You don't have to listen to Soulja Boy anymore. It's okay. You're safe here.

[modestmark]

You're wack!!! Go listen to some stupid dumb, mind-numbing music like Soulja Boy. I don't usually reply to people's comments, but the comment you posted deserves a reply.

[CGJUGO80]

ur whack

[CGJUGO80]

ur whack

[modestmark]

You're wack. You obviously do not know anything about hip hop. Go listen to some stupid dumb shit like Souljaboy. I know everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I do not usually respond to people's comments, but how can you diss this joint? Again, you're really wack.

[mrcrews]

so do ur mama

[LPOSLA]

if this is whack then you must be satan's advisor that is just sitting & waiting for your time to burn in the flesh of hell with him just in order for you to continue to extort and spread the negativites within the world until we are all perished.And oh yeah just a few words of advice for your altered,scrambled,and diffused mentality,with a youtube name like "realhiphopsucks" your entire life must be catered to being closed up & staying stuck within the world's most harshest realities my friend!

[LPOSLA]

just like i thought you're 14 years of age.Well even though you may write something negative back at me all i ask is that you please give old school hip-hop a chance.Just seek some positive thoughts and advice on it from others and you'll be able to see that it's not bad after all.All music is good my friend.We need Old & New school music for our society.You're young so later you'll understand even though you may have never grew up on Chi-Ali.

[bigrich0926]

F*ck you,you must be a young kid,i get more props and stunts than bruce willis.

[modestmark]

you're wack!!!

[urssus101]

[armita22]

[mrcrews]

[jarbon5]

Man, this song is off the chain. He's one of the greatest rappers of our day. The skills showcased here are just phenomenal. Again, one of the greats.

[armita22]

[beedo1976]

[beedo1976]

he got into an argument with his girlfriends brother. he shot and killed him. everyone says it was over 300 dollars and cd's but it wasnt. he said he told the brother to give his sister 20 dollars till he get there and the brother said "suc% my d%^&" and he flipped and seen him in the street and shit him he is eligible for parole feb 2013 so he has 5 more yrs to go

[manofsteel33]

[coldrockdaspot]

I would doubt it as he is still in jail.

[flamez34]

Naw,kid. He's in jail serving a 25 year bid.

[8THT8]

[tdowling7]

Thank you for putting this back, this is one of my all time favorites.

[earlsuave]

I love Chi shame he's doin a 25 bid!

[Bluexhox]

Yo That Shit Was Crazy Wasn't It Son, He Was On "America's Most Wanted" Like 3 Times When They Were Looking For Him. He Definitely Had Potential But He Was Living That Street Life A Little Too Real.

[armita22]

[cybersalad]

Q-Tip post pubescent remix!!!!

[cronicjhonez]

[Y0UT0083]

[6333]

[grief78]

Ha Ha Yeah. I've been waitin for someone to put this up. Dope Shit.

[magicbeatbox]

[goldentrophy]

C'mon if he had shot your best friend i'm pretty sure belle2882 and Funkdogg won't be saying all that be real people I mean I like his music but he's going to hell I don't respect him as a person.

[goldentrophy]

C'mon if he had shot your best friend i'm pretty sure belle2882 and Funkdogg won't be saying all that be real people I mean I like his music but he's going to hell I don't respect him as a person.

[Kdynamix]

''I get more props den stunts den Bruce Willis'' keeps coming in my head hahaha

[LemonAndYoghurt]

he killed someone?

whos gonna kill 50 and free chi instead?

[nabilster]

Shout out to teh Fabulous Chi-Ali and the Black Sheep ! Hip hop is dead !

[flamez34]

Chi Ali was pretty dope for a lil teenager. Too Bad he didnt persue his career in Hip-Hop instead of going the thug route. Last track he was featured in was on Dres solo album which debuted in the late 90's.

[belle2882]

free chi ali its not like he lock up for manslaughter he is in for murder he not getting out

[goldentrophy]

LOL at the dumbass saying free Chi-Ali life in prison buddy that's what happens when you kill someone over cd's.

[buckfastercrew]

He'll be out in 2015, if not sooner.

[braverage6]

actually he is in for 14 years and it wasnt murder

[2FRsoul]

uhh...yea, it was. Killed his sister's bf.

BTW: what is the vocal sample used on this. Its so familiar.

[Bluexhox]

Guru From GangStarr "Dwyck" (1992)

[Funkdogg]

This shit still sounds hot today...I don't give a damn if he killed someone...people kill eachother all the time.always have,always will.we all make mistakes in our life...he ain't no crazy murderer...he was just stupid...but i think he deserves a comeback in hip-hop...So i say FREE CHI...

[dr23rdbuchanmd]

I thought Chi Ali just shot the guy, I don't think he killed him though. I may be wrong.

[cronicjhonez]

murder IS the case homie!!!

[deechillah]

Dis shit came around the time I PERSONALLY discovered Graff..

Remember Black Sheep? Well he was one of their little bros/cousins

[bugstrut]

Nah, he wasn't. A lot of people thought he was, because he featured on a Black Sheep song, he used to hang around with them, and because he actually looked a lot like one of them (Dres).

[bugstrut]

If there's any turntablism nerds watching this, notice how, in the very last couple of seconds of the song, the DJ sounds like he's doing a Flare scratch. Could this be the first time it was ever heard on a track? It's a shame he didn't do it more, on the track.

[ssaturn]

i love this song. nas did a shout out to him on the 90's remix to "where are they now."

[Jammedheat]

Free Chi Ali

[AlexInfa]

he killed a muthafuckin person ..how can u say free chi ali that easily

[StFson]

classic !!! real hh 4ever

[OlDurtyBiscuit]

Chi Ali was and is one of my favorite rappers back in the day. His first album before all the puberty remixes were off the hook. Roadrunner and Chi vs Vanilla shake was smokin back then.

I never heard this remix of funky lemonade before...I gotta say its pretty anus. Need more Chi Ali vids peeps!

[lexecution]

Chi was da bombest. But for real, shame he did what he did. Career cut short.

[ATS68]

cool

[plaarkin]

The 14 year lord on a skateboard!

[jahall12]

those were the days!the background,style of rap etc!why did it all change!!!
