Brother Ali interview with Barber Shop Hip Hop

[jeffreyniggs]

he is terrible and he is a huge retard nigga. fuck dis clown lol

[PitBullRa19h666]

@jeffreyniggs yea and Gucci Mane is a intellectually deep rapper with many styles.

[xperienceths]

yo is that Toki Wright as his hype man?

[Azicpok1]

lol brother ali sucks ass fake bitch

[Raider014]

if your talkin about how he's "white" well he isn't he black and he was born an albino white skin white hair and no eye color he is legally blind too be cause of his albino

[NameBrandClique]

@Raider014 no, he's white, but he is albino. He's said before in interviews that he felt separated from other whites, and people into hip hop were the ones who embraced him.  He's dope though!

[maxypooh15]

@Raider014 hes white, his parents were white.

[ManicSkates]

such a great performer

[Narmedor]

i though he was nazi..lol

[tomthebomb93]

nope

[blackfalconsungodzzz]

these jokers are hooked on black dope !

[thegoodz07]

Rhymesayers has been around for longer than Em has been established. Overcast! dropped in '98 and Infinite dropped in '96. Both Slug and Em have been rapping for about the same amount of time. Eminem sold out. Rhymesayers has been independent since day one. We all remember hearing shady's back... Fuck Em for that, it was shit. Infinite was ILLLLLL! But he got shitty, and I think he knows that. Ali owns Eminem in every single way.

[impatientp]

infinite was dope, and he did sell out maybe 2 songs on each album for promotion but you forget that everyone from pac to biggie did the same thing, and theres no shame in this climate to make a song or two for the radio and clubs for a bit of exposure

[jackedbeats]

sophmore curse? nah undisputed was just as strong if not stronger than shadows

[nug1111]

what beat is that? that starts at 4:03 for a couple seconds?

[jjohnson6988]

Stop asking him questions and let him eat his food!

[Jughand]

his eyelashes and eyebrows are fucking awesome.

[nearfall76]

he's such a douche bag

[godsfornication]

What does that mean? Sounds to me like you don't know head from ass...

Maybe you should be more descriptive in your criticism. Perhaps that would lend readers insight into your condition...

[G2N500]

Rhymesayers has been around more then Eminem.

[sem3ability]

nah man eminem dropped infinite in 96

rhymesayers formed i little later then that look that shit up man

[G2N500]

Well maybe not Rhymesayers i know Slug's been rapping since like 1992 or 1993

[sem3ability]

eminem is till a better rapper than slug

[Munge74]

nope, slug is way better when it comes to lyrics, but when it comes to beats ems better.

[sem3ability]

eminem has got much better flow and delivery. but yeah its down to personal taste, its a good thing people like different types of artist.

[clipcalhoon]

theyre both ok...for white guys :P jp they both good u cant deny that but you cant say who is better

[Davemo69]

i agree i think eminem can be better than everyone if hes on top of his game, i jus got out encore after pushin that to the back of the pile and that liek concept flows on that, but hopefully he brings us underground shit on new album

[Nekkidj]

not to mention he keeps releasing really shitty singles. Atmosphere keeps it real no matter what!!

[Davemo69]

yea eminem releases the total bolloks songs i guess kos the label wants it but he releases deep stuff to stan and the way i am, but brother ali is good i hear more n more of him

[ogjoepesci]

dre makes all of ems beats, or did on his first albums at least, thats why ems beats are better :)

[impatientp]

his first albums had 2 to 4 dre beats on max, mostly the bass brothers and F.B.T did his production.

eminem show onwards is where dre became the main producer

[sw69skate]

What the fuck has Eminem got to do with Brother Ali?Hes not related.He is fucking dope though,speaks/raps some truthfull real shit.Hes a cool fool.

[VanillaFresh76]

dude is so humble,but his words are fire!

[Immortalityillusions]

lol at mellowmMood...

Eminem single handedly created a new generation & new culture of hip hop fans.

Rhymesayers benefits greatly from the counter-culture of white hip hop fans boosted by Eminem.

eventually Eminem fans get tired of eminem and then look for other rappers that look like themselves

They then find Rhymesayers... eventually their taste for music changes and then they begin to hate eminem.

[dhun19]

was that supposed to be insightful?  because it isn't.

[wadum580]

its because you can stretch a condom over his head because you so lose (twinkletoes24)

[whitepeepleareDevils]

i neva new brother ali was albino thats hard n a brother .,.. the mother fuckaz tears shit up

[mpa05]

Whitily Ali

[TwinkletOes24]

does any one else find him .....a little attractive ??? not just physical....i cant explain its just something about him thats sexy.....anyone else know what i mean or am i just rambling at 100 am

[StOnEz617]

is he albino?/

[blueslifer]

Let me put it like this.....I am not really a hip hop faN BUT..I have heard both Emimen & Brother Ali,and all I can say is when I hear Ali doing his thing I get inspired.I don't understand it but thats the truth.

[sk84days]

The Real Deal

[MellowmMood]

Man....dont another MOTHERFUCKER bring up eminem!!!! He isnt even anywhere in the same league as My Man, BROTHER ALI!!!! The REAL Motherfuckers know.....FUCK EM-IN-EM!!!!!!!! Go back to eight mile MOTHERFUCKER!

[stakkadallen]

can all you people who thinks eminem is great go kill your self? eminem lives whit his father, and they try to keep that a secret... his dad has A LOT OF MONEY...

brother ali is real. most people dont know music, they just take everything they hear on the radio. someone else is telling you what to like...

[BAdoubleT]

Eminem and Brother Ali have different styles of rapping so comparing them is just retarded. And what difference would it make if Eminem were to live with his father, which he doesn't, and if his father was rich, which he isn't?

[gangstasmurf06]

Ugh, In this interview brother ali talks about how there is no "real" hip-hop and that there's just good music and bad music, yet you guys are all talking about whether eminem is real hip-hop or not. I swear these "real" arguments never accomplish shit. Listen to what you wanna listen to, don't hate on music you dislike just praise the music that you DO like. All of your favorite artists would be twice as popular if you spent your breath complimenting them instead of insulting others.

[Ducksexbody]

Real talk.

[Dmarce56]

Game, set, match.

Props.

[aca28833]

@gangstasmurf06 Amen to that!

[Rorix9]

@gangstasmurf06 well said

[marijuanapuff]

he needs to stfu about that midwest bullshit man theres fake ppl everywhere not just hollywood and ny and theres real ppl every where...plus brother ali fukn sucks ass man fuck that fat ass

[weavsta06]

i heard brother ali is a black ablino, is that true lyk?

[HanselTrancer]

No. White and 10 times better than eminemxD Fuck that commercial prick!

[slckho]

The fuck you talking about? I ain't saying Ali is bad but who the fuck are you saying Eminem sucks n is a commercial prick? He ain't a commercial prick if you knew any shit about him. He got dropped from alot of sponsors n shit BECUZ HE WASN'T AFRAID TO SAY THE TRUTH. Everyone knows Em has earned his spot in the list of greatest rappers, whoever talks shit are just haters

[ebrown]

hanseltrancer is mad cuz em wouldnt let that fag suck his dick

[themixer84]

thats fuckng racest who the fuck said that must not be a sotapop haha midwest fo life

[superjrman]

the black man holds the white man down: cause he'll never make it big, cause hes white. the industry wont recognize him without a fight this could never become exceptable by other hip hop artist in the mainstream genre - fuck you blacky. i love this guy and hip hop. thank you ali for giving me my self esteem back in this black world.

[rikidulous]

listen i know where you're coming from. and in a way you are right, but you need to evolve your thought. calling african-americans blacky is disrespectful, they birthed this culture. if you want respect from the fathers of a certain culture you're not going to get it by disrespecting them.

brother ali said it himself on "daylight"...

"they ask me if i'm black or white, i'm neither. race is a made up thing i dont believe in it."

evolve ur mind homie

[rotomofo]

your right ali is one of the greatest and he dont care about his status as a rhymer his view are amazing i live 4 what he speaks

[slimthebarber]

you are a confused individual.

[Glapo]

the industry doesn't recognize him because his fat, ugly, and albino, which is a shame because he's one of the best Emcees of our generation.

[mrescobar11]

it's cuz he's real hip hop and doesn't rap about money, bling and bitches... not cuz of his appearance (though that probably doesn't benefit him either)

[5thElementHipHop]

Your right that Brother Ali will never make it big, but its because he makes real music, not because he's white.

[superjrman]

WHITE HOP/ the antipisis of racisct sterotypes

[pinchememofeo]

Albino hip hop.

[roflmao345]

He's damn right! And I'm glad something new and fresh like RSE is out there!

[stird24]

pitwheeler is right, wether he is black or not he can fuckin kill it on the mic

[back2nrml]

thats is exactly what its about. YOu shouldent even have to state that. and i dont meen you persoanly i mean people need to have enough commensense or atleast respect for the Guys actualy seting the ground for this game. Ali, Slug, sage francis, dibbs, ant, all of living legends. exc. these guys are seting a good examle for rap, and even beyond taht. what they got to say is important and real as fuck.

[pitwheeler]

all yall some real ingorant muthafuckas...hip hop has NEVER been about race--although it was started by blacks and latinos in NYC...Yeah that's right, all this shit was started in NYC--it's about street culture straight up...

[Hippyhappening]

"I kill the devil weherever he resides, even if he's hiding in me he got to die"

This dude is ill.

[cakid912]

those it mader if he's albino or white all it maders that he have a talent and he's puting good hip hop and entertaining and normal like us and he's just a person like us so plz guys don't argu about this guy damn

[Redefeat]

haha, people are just pissed off because brother ali actually has a vocabulary and fresh rhymes and they can't comprehend anything beyond two sylabols.

[joeyhitchins]

Search liquidskills

[mizzstizzie]

fuck...i wonder if krs-one, nas or rakim were white or albino or whatever..if people would think of them less..are challange their credibility as an MC...grow the fuck up to tha haters..Brother Ali is a dope ass MC..and people need not to watch the colour of his skin. damn.

[mrhaze101]

so true so true

[powderedwaterpudding]

All these comments are some real ignorant youtube shit. He's dope, that's it, that's all, go get on someone else's dick on that racist shit.

[tacotime7788]

Here's the scoop. White Albino. Raised by black men. Islamic.

[Jeremy12323]

he is actually legally blind and a white albino raised by black parents

[NiggaDown23]

yah hes a blind albino raised by black parents

[barbershophiphop]

he's not blind. I don't know his ethnicity or upbringing. If I would have thought it was that important, I would have asked. honestly I didn't think about it.

[Juice8558]

ha, now we wonder how rumors get started...ignorance is deadly

[2wenty6ix]

actually, he is legally blind. check your sources.

[gunit97]

he has bad vision like most all albinos, he was born to white parents, however he says that the black community brought him up.

[mrhaze101]

raised by black parents

[Mahknz]

Hes legally blind.

[corporallukemia]

all albino people are. he can still see fine though

[FlaminFingaz]

he's legally blind.

[maxypooh15]

@barbershophiphop he is legally blind. He has poor vision but is not 100% blind. He can see.

[Rorix9]

@barbershophiphop he is "legally blind" according to one of his songs

[johnybob2232]

@barbershophiphop He's legally blind meaning he has to stand 20 feet away from something to see it with contact lenses

[maxypooh15]

@NiggaDown23 He is legally blind but he can see. He just has very bad vision and cannot legaly drive or operate machinery. He was raised by white parents, not black.

[aca28833]

@NiggaDown23 He's not raised by black parents, where the hell did u hear that??

[dirtberd]

@NiggaDown23 WRONG ANSWER,,,,

[95qazplm]

@NiggaDown23 hes not african american he just used to say he was he is albino tho

[OGDonJuan]

is it true that brother ali is blind?

[Daddell]

who gives a fuck, this guys dope!

[thewunmanarmy]

hes a white albino raised by black people

[aquamammal]

The issue isn't whether he's black or white, it's if he's a fucking theist.

Well, is he?

[yann22300]

on s'en fou qu'il soit noir, blanc, albino ou meme martien, il dechire !!! un point s'est tout ! truth is here,the truth is here....

[crimsonpixel]

He at least knows good beer. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. I like this guy already. ;)

[khwalo]

He is not black look at Paul Scholes the Manchester United Midfielder and you look at Brother Ali then you'll get your answer.

[chubbycheeks007]

Fuck up about your race issues. Do you understand how ignorant AND stupid you come across with your words??

[princeoftheghetto]

Does it matter wether he´s white or black he´s real man chest out stumuckín listen he´s cominín

i luv him he´s is one of the greatest rapper out in the game.

[droopy909]

actually wikipedia says he was born by white parents and raised by black parents, and don't believe everything wikipedia says

[dJrocketJAM]

ah shit youre right i guess i just heard the rumor before he cleared it up

[dJrocketJAM]

hes a black albino...albinism is more common among African DNA than white people...and black albinos look totally melanin-less so thats why yiou think he looks like a blonde white dude...but ive read he is black...but still it doesnt matter...just wanted to clear it up. Look at people like Krondon or Yellowman, they are black but they are albino and they look like him.

[scribbles8675309]

actually your wrong. if you go on wikipedia . org and search brother ali it tells you all info about him hes a white albino raised and born from white parents

[zm102905]

you're actually wrong. he's NOT black. Black albinos have distinctly black features and he definately does not.

[mootologist]

I think people are missing the point here.

[carma626]

"Never question what I am, G-O-D knows if you dont you will never understand..." Brother Ali is one of the greatest right now.

[Hasfjord]

Such an amazing guy.. BIG UP!

[Mitchelldances9]

I know for a fact that his parents were white

[beast207]

ik hes guud but breeegs guyy but eminem is not rubbish u british fagg eminem is 1 of best alltime

[lamemaster]

as Ali says.."People ask am I black or white, neither, Racism's a made up thing I don't believe in it".

[dsmooothh]

* race is a made up thing, i don't believe in it

[armen1992]

@dsmooothh race is a made thing ha?

[dsmooothh]

@armen1992 I'm quoting Brother Ali son

[slobls]

black white it dont matter brother ali is pure hiphop

[DrSanchez01]

The dudes white but albino, no way he's black.

He's fuckin awesome tho.

[leeperryismerry]

[Cheddar323]

maannnn WEST SIIIDEEE! BIIAATCH

[Chaostamer]

Ali's a great emcee, and his new album is straight fire.

[NATHANEIL01]

bro ali he's black but albino...but ask yourself does it matter...just listen to the man message... it's great hip hop that whats matters

[skawt]

it doesnt, and i dont even know why u gotta point it out

[NATHANEIL01]

it's true i don't even know know why i played into the whole discussion.Yo he is fire though

[skawt]

he is flames, very positive message and hes like no other, hope he keeps it up.

[breeeegs]

i like this guy...i'm not a fan of rap or hip-hop music by any means, but i can definitely see he's got talent. Well, all i can say is, i hope people start listening to his stuff, instead of that "Eminem" rubbish.

[Susanb45]

brother ali isn't black...

[ayyyoo15]

dude shud do a track with premier...thatd put him over the top.

[99vix99]

so is he a black albino? anybody know?

[Juice8558]

he said that his birth mother was white but he was raised by black folks his entire life. So techniqually he is white.

[DJSkratchalot]

this is to : norfillyson he looks wierd.....this what you call albino....meaning he lacks skin & hair tone etc...hes sensitive to light

[93civiccx]

DjSkratchalot it's called pigment. He has no pigment in his skin or hair.

[norfillyson]

he looks wierd

[breeeegs]

who cares, he's smart and musically talented!

[LLMelvinL]

I didnt know dude was born in wisconsin.

[JonesyGirl]

I really and truly love his man.

[Theloxs]

anybody dat dissed brother ali can go str8 to hell

[RoaR3000]

I agre with Blue up top...that line killed it...it stands for him,and sage,and buck 65,and aesop...and everyone "no one" knows...u know how it goes...lol,but yea...GREAT on them,they the ones who REALLY diserve props...B.T.W first song on his new album is SO fierce,i took extra notice...its like that booth went up in flames man!

[blacksmith84]

He is the next man comin up

[PresidentPalmer]

Lyrically he is a beast but its his passion that comes through his songs that put him over the top. "The Undisputed Truth" couldnt be any more fitting.

[bluecubphan]

"We benefit so much from the fact that music right now sucks". Troof
