Brother Ali - Fresh Air

[AfrojacX]

Minnesota music ftw

[deveno2]

keep it up brother! 612 respects

[costguard]

Song just knocked the Funk outta me.

[DovkeLT]

Thumbs up if you think that Brother Ali will be famous in 2012!!!

[tisilwm]

@DovkeLT . i cannot thumb you up. he already is the best no matter what stream he is in. main or underground.

[smugglermonkey]

They should have made a proper video for this!!

[masterj131]

this is extremely refreshing after chillin with people that are too ignorant to see the skills of brother ali

[twinsterritory34]

There is nothing like Minnesota rap

[mango8260]

Minnesota all day...........

[PsychoticNeurotic]

HAPPIEST SONG EVER.

[needmyrespect]

JAY Z TAKE SOME OF HIS FLOWS IF YOU REALLY LISTEN REAL CLOSE

[masterj131]

@needmyrespect i wouldnt doubt that for a second a ton of maintstream rappers steal underground hip hop techniques and most people don't notice. i can't stand it

[thatguyblazin420]

@masterj131 ...."They can't fiiiiind it!!" oh wait they did

[Nmwill135]

this is crazy legit

[fundamentalz424]

Ant is a GENIUS

[JonPessoa09]

solid shitt

[Fletchman18]

Minnesota baby! much love!

[TheSupremebass]

The idea that modern hip hop is no good is a lie. Brother Ali and all the Rhymesayers emcees are living proof that great hip hop is still out there, and will always be alive.

[MrMisfortune240]

@TheSupremebass or in the case of Eyedea, not living. R.I.P

[TheSupremebass]

@MrMisfortune240 alas, this is true :l R.I.P. Eyedea. I miss you, everyone misses you. At least we still got his music <3

[139Sector139]

How is Brother Ali legally blind? Is he colour blind or what, im really confused

[attenchon]

@139Sector139 legally blind doesn't literally mean blind

[yadrummer11]

@139Sector139 hes albino so his eyesight is really bad, but legally he is considered blind

[BlondiesFTW]

I heard this song when it first came out. I've spent two years trying to find it. It was worth it. ^_^

[DdrewMC]

[blueboy4rock]

Voice is awesome , beat is awesome , song is awesome ! DAMN IT i can't find sumthin' bad with this song ! xD i like it alot !

[cindyhiortalbertsen]

[TheSteekygbiatch]

this is literally the best beat in the world lol 

[Hamburgaler111]

Miley Cyrus is the first thing in the suggestions... you tube quit trying to sway my tastes in music to that of 12 year old girls and creepy old men...

[Skate4Life974]

@Hamburgaler111 suggestions are partly based on what you've previously watched... so that's your own fault

[Hamburgaler111]

@Skate4Life974 That would be understandable if it wasn't labeled as "Promoted Video".

[q123e5]

@Hamburgaler111 I don't see miley cyrus anywhere? the first thing in the suggestions is this same song with a music video

[PhillipShark]

best song ever! sooo tight!

[tisilwm]

aww yeah, no better way to spend my hours befor work.

[CrewChuff]

Brother Ali + Ground Up would be AMAZING

[RachEE2471]

[1985Aspa]

Seen Brother Ali last year in LA at Rock the Bells. Hands down the best performance ever. Better than Wiz's haha. #Rhymesayers4Life

[whySoGaY1000]

@1985Aspa i want to hit up rock the bells in new york this year. my bro went to london ontario and said the same thing brother ali kills the stage

[TheNotoriousAMP]

[DelusionalSyko]

Brother Ali along with Atmosphere are probably the best groups on Rhymesayers. So much inspiration and lyricism. they're amazing.

FeEl GoOd mUziC

[DeMONicBieberHD]

I don't get it why do people even thumbs down stuff,if you don't like it why watch it?

[katrastrophy]

@DeMONicBieberHD They are just trying to spread negativity like a fog to obscure the light....it's just fog np . You either feel it or you shrivel up and turn into a lemon-it too will pass,just smile.

[9524tee]

18 people don't like breathing fresh air.

[raoulhery]

Us is a good album but too aggressive compared to his previous! Undisputed thruth was more soulful

[wogington]

@afrorage123  and the sad thing is its probs only about 2000 ppl.

[Holland9451]

This song is such a breath of fresh air compared to mainstream assyness

Brother Ali for president!!

[alexmsb69]

"Now I'm crashing on the couch with conan."

Tried finding the video but I can't. I assume NBC removed all clips of conan from the internet? lol If you find it please reply to this where I can find it.

P.S. found a clip of justin timberlake beat boxing for brother ali when looking for it, pretty unique lol

[HeathaRoseInc]

[GhettoScene]

@WALL Sorry you can't understand reality.

[fartfacesens]

THUMBS UP IF BROTHER ALI IS A HUGE INSPIRATION TO YOU.

[readybeeill]

@fartfacesens not as a rapper or anything. He inspires to make me a better person.

Ali boom-by-ay

[alTreezy]

@fartfacesens

everyday...realest dude alive...

[KingstonThunder24]

" A young sky-learner once told me, rap is the buisness, and hip-hop is a culture ". - Helixe Armogeden. ( appologise for incorrect spelling of name.. never actully was able to find it spelt out.. Poetry in motion.

[JayLatn1]

Ok, hip hop is the movement but the correct term IS hip hop music. Hip hop music revolves around hip hop culture (EMCEEING, WHICH IS THE CORRECT TERM NOT RAPPING, DJING, BBOYING, NOT BREAKDANCING, GRAFFITI WRITING, AND BEATBOXING). Now rap "music" is lil wayne, the game, gucci mane, ludacris, paulwall etc. so dont say there isnt a difference, because there is a HUGE diff.

Rap Music - BULLSHIT

HIP HOP - BEAUTY AND TALENT

[sloshin87]

baby lets hurry up and leave before these damn people change they damn mind........lol this track is genius =0)

[bmixus]

Beautiful :)

[CubeALibre]

All things that ve been said: extremly mellow, soulful & passionate. Absolutly!

One of the great inspiring voices of Hip Hop!

[schnizzball201]

cuz the radio likes pop and stupid annoying music like lady gaga

[NaiJorJul]

how come real rap isnt what they play on the radio. really now people. this music is sooo real, pharaohe monch,kool g rap, brother ali,tali kwalib,mos def.

[stone1free1]

@NaiJorJul u can answer that question urself if u do a lil research on the industry. the industry's prime objective is to sell records, music and art is secondary. all the mainstream shit u hear is manipulated and shaped by people who go to college to find out how to market and sell things to people. and they do it well. thats whyl il wayne is so huge, and the true dudes like Ali are underground. cuz underground is about the music first. no sellout bull shit, u kno?

[NaiJorJul]

@stone1free1 ya thank you for clearing it up its such a damn shame though that mos def, talib kewli, atmosphere,brother ali and so many who have real things to say are underground. and they love music for making it not for the cash it may bring.

[ImXCraft]

Rap is something you do, hip-hop is something you live.

[TheSkrtel37]

This is probably the happiest, most positive hip-hop track I've heard in years.

[jonysevn]

I just saw Brother Ali at Glastonbury and O MY GOD could not have been better. I got album and he signed it, and that man is alright. And mate if you're watching YOU ARE ONE OF THE GOOD THINGS yeah. Danced my head off. Charged my batteries. Best American 2010. Cheers.

[gotjuice9]

brother ali dope. yeah there are elements to his voice and flow.. remind me of monch and em at times.. but he puts it all together in his own unique style with strong, intelligent, soulful, and heartfelt lyrics..

[boogandbang22]

[TeenageDream318]

@boogandbang22 i hope you know this is straight up Minnesota hip hop

[Hoomebasee]

best song to chill in the spring sun :D!

[Chinasoversizedclit]

everybody talking about biggie and tupac. i like big l and big pun better then the both of em. and nobody ever mentions pharaohe monch or kool g rap.

[Negrostable]

@Chinasoversizedclit its because pac and biggie were marketed more, true hip hop heads know of those you speak of. let alone rate them higher than pac and biggie.

[JLuvs0fficial]

@Negrostable

I am a hip hop head and 2pac is my favorite rapper, Big L being my second. But I listen to real hip hop, Brother Ali, Black Thought, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Wu Tang, Atmosphere, AOTP, Immortal Technique, Chino XL, K-Rino, Canibus, Del The Funkee Homosapien, Ras Kass, Bug Pun, Benefit, Rise, Cymarshal Law etc. 2pac wasn't as lyrical as them, but there is more than one way to be great and a lot of those artist I mentioned loved Pac as well

[LBG070]

@JLuvs0fficial hell yeah 2pac was just as lyrical as them maybe more he just got caught up in his thug ways and that reflected in his music but he had the pain and suffering of the black race in his heart and was able to be the voice of that in songs like changes
