@futebalmakedonia Brother Ali and other Rhymesayers dont' want to be "BIGGER". true underground hip hop wants to stay underground. it's a movement. Rhymesayers is one of if not THE biggest label in underground hip hop. Ali has a HUGE following in underground hip hop and has been around for a while.
After the cotton gin, slavery became something completely different. When money was flowing through people wanted to lock in the cheap labor. Prior though, after one finished their indentured servitude they were free. I'm definitely not slavery was a good thing or horrible things didn't happen at all. All I'm saying is the history normally taught glosses over some things and doesn't point out what really happened ie people saw huge profits with cheap labor and exploited the political system.
Slavery in the states started our as indentured servitude. Whites and blacks worked for 4 years at which point they got their own plot of land, house and farmland. If someone wanted out, they just had to convert to Christianity. In fact slavery/indentured servitude was going out of style until cotton became the cash crop of the south, at which point the government changed the laws. History is distorted to create hatred. Terms like black/white werent used, they're more modern then you think.
@merkabaradio hey smart guy the irish and other poor europeans where the indentured servants and it took 7 seven years to work off your debt africans became the preferred choice of the corporate pigs because they couldn't runaway and blend into society thats why the whole 3/5 a man idea was started so when whites saw blacks they would report it so no one would be harmed by the quote wild beast
@eattherich186 Corporate pigs back in 1700-1800's? They were used for mostly farm labor and domestic duties ie cooking/cleaning. It wasn't until the invention of the cotton gin where slavery was even revitalized prior to that it was on the decline.
You're right to say its harder for a black slave to blend in with normal society, but you're more then likely speaking to slavery post cotton gin where laws were changed which shifts the blame to politicians. Prior, all they had to do was convert.
brother ali speaks the truth! wish other so-called rappers had his talent... pfff it disgusts me how they can get rich with no real talent, just a good beat-line that talentless and mediocre people would rather listen to...
BAD ASS tune love it when peeps speak their minds,songs about hanging in clubs are pretty petty these guys seem to know what a crappy state our nation is it reminds me of the good old days when people actually had something to say in the music
@supplanter111 That doesn't make him a hipocrite. If he said "all christian countries are totalitarian, draconian, policestate shit-holes", he would be. I'm sorry to inform you that the state of a country is not directly connected with their religion.
@MrAlltidblaa what makes him a hypocrite is that he makes the money driven, western societies as wicked while glorifying the evil islamic lifestyle. Im sorry to inform you that you didnt inform me about anything. Im well aware that the state of many countries can be directly tied to secular ideologies as well but the state of every human on the planet is directly connected to his/her world view; and im sorry 2 inform you that your development is arrested beyond repair if this axiom eludes you.
@supplanter111 so you think you know shit because you can quote your history teacher? you can regurgatate shit all you want but are you ever gonna have your own opinion? and btw if you don't like the song don't listen. and yeah religion has nothing to do with countries. in fact some places are intolerant of religion. get your shit right.
@closer1418 i never went to school faggot and yet my intellect is infinitely superior to yours. get off brother ali's dick, clean his nut outta your ears(and mind) and learn to see things objectivley b4 u make some stupid, superficial comment that ironically sounds exactly like a regurgitation of mainstream history rhetoric as opposed to ur own opinion. The real joke is that youre a sensitized automaton, lemming, and i sincerely doubt,based on ur statement, that u have 1 original thought at all
@closer1418 and as for 'religion having nothing to do with countries', that comment is so fuckin ridiculous its not even worth refuting since the veracity of it is so axiomatically fallacious any fool can see, and it speaks volumes of your lack of basic perception.
white ppl are getting murdered on a massive scale daily too; but u dont ever hear that side of the story 'cause most of the bodies are ruled as natural deaths. more ppl of all races get murdered through the food, water, and air supplies than those who drop in all the hot wars combined from ww1 till now.
its seems like the world has forgotten the horrible things england did or spain my god! the dutch i can go on and on but the reality is if you could sail a ship you could murder without a thought it was wrong. i'm american and quite a shame we think we are civilized.
i'm american but no fan of our policies completely agree with brother ali but to the rest of the world dont think you dont have blood on your hands. lets not forget the 1st settlers in america were europians and they started the american slave trade. im not justifying our behavior just my point is not just america
Little known fact: black people in Africa started the slave trade. They would take people from different tribes and sell them. The first, other than Africans, to buy them were the ARABS. So guess the land of the thief and home of home of the slave is Africa.
in africa, when rival tribes fought in wars, the winning tribe would take some of the other tribe's soldiers as "slaves". They would work in the fields of the winning tribe for a certain amount of time, usually a couple years, then they would be set free. once the Europeans came the africans willingly helped the whites get slaves at first cause they thought white slavery was the same as their slavery. they didnt whip or lynch slaves in africa like they did in america.

Thier terrorist in ever country in the world thier are always ignorent extremeist that want to kill people for no reason like Nazi germany, The killing fields in camboda and the KKK in America. Ant now Al-Qada in the middle east. Not All Muslim are terrorist only a handfull. Never believe main stream media.
Someone said that this guy is better then me...It's all godd...The reality I have more talent as a rapper and light years more talent as a lyricist then Brother Ali...Keep up the good work bro..
@karyyym It's just war propaganda. We need to vilify the enemy in order to justify killing them, thus every Muslim is a terrorist and wants to dismantle Western society. If we ever get out of the Middle East (first we have to set up a couple of dictatorships to ensure stability!), this sentiment will probably turn around.
am just wonderin...do the ppl who like brother ali...think muslims r terrorists...because am a muslim...n i know most of u r christian americans..n brother ali is a muslim...so i'd just like 2 know what do u think of muslims...do u believe the media??!
Only fools believe the media. And most of the younger generation refuse to be Christians in this day & age because we've seen what these "good american Christian people" do. Their shit is all twisted up and we're smart enough to know it'd be foolish to join their ranks.
@karyyym I believe what the crazy ass Muslims tell me about themselves. However, not all Muslims are crazy. But come to Paltalk and you will meet many nutso Muslims.
@karyyym Well, it depends on which one. Some have told me they would cut my throat if they could. Others have said that I am a monkey and should die from cancer. And why did they say these types of things? Simply because I believe God is a fake.
hahahaha i hear yah... this was the first B A song I heard.. An it kinda mad me say, "who is this white guy speaking the truth about the REAL america"? lol then came Truth Is, Good Lord and now I'm giggling listenning to Forest Whitaker...
Why is it everytime I get on the FUCKING internet everyone is always bashing the United States....sure I could'nt agreed more that SOME Americans are arrogant and ignorant. if you think youre country is perfect(like some of you are saying) youre dead wrong. Just because the assholes seem to find thier way online and talk shit doesnt mean you can lable us all, and bring up events that have happened a hundred plus years ago and use it against. Things were different then.
@savageguy831 He is not blind, but he have very poor eyesight. Else he would not be able to say "he felt better being around black people, when he has growing up" Or "that he did not thought that many white people would show up at his shows"
"look how youre hustling backwards, at the end of the year add up what they subtracted" great line. I'm an american and i do love my country, but i just wish i could have been alive back when it was a great, just nation. It is true that alot of americans are ignorant, not only that they're sheap who cant think for themselves. What worries me is the european and asian people who are wanting to embrace western ways of life, if they're not careful they might not be too far behind us. just saying
Part Two: The world has always been a balancing act between good and evil, because of the founding fathers of this country good has been gaining ground... on evil. Learn history and see that yes our country is NOT perfect but it is the MOST perfect in an imperfect world!
@dmgstuff this is exactly the kind of attitude your country is criticized for: arrogant and paranoid. Yes, we all have blood in our history but the rest of your story is BS! an economic system that has brought people out of poverty? please! sure there are quite a bunch of rich people in the states but a lot more really poor people, unlike my own country so save me your crap and go take a shit somewhere else (if you even have shit in your o so perfect country)
@bernard6140 - Everyone comes to the USA when they need help! Example: how much money did the Netherlands send to Haiti? Answer: $5 Million that's it! The USA sent over $700 Million! Get over it. We are the only super power on the planet; we help countries in need we do not conquer them! When you get in trouble, your government will come knocking on our door for help and we WILL help, even though you show such lack of respect today!
stop being so arrogant and please stop talking BS... you obviously don't know anything about the netherlands... we donated 85 million euros (114,5 million dollars), while we have 16 million inhabitants! USA donated 700 million? very good but how many people live in your perfect country? over 300 million.... You do the math! (or go get a calculator, in your case)
@bernard6140 yo bernard....don't forget the US gives a lot more aid than any other country in the world, especially the netherlands. go grab your calculator and start adding it up
@bernard6140 although i agree with you greatly and not looking for a fight but, the "Land of the free" is not all right...hell over here walking streets in some parts is crazy as hell. There are people getting sexually abused at our own schools...this nation is not a perfect nation at all. My friend killed himself for two reasons, one is because he cared so much about the starving kids in the world and he new he couldnt do any thing, and two because he was short he got so much shit about it.
@bernard6140 well good for you, that's equal to each person in the Netherlands donating about 5 bucks....and Americans donating 3 dollars...we gave little..but still donated more. Beggars can't be choosers bitch.
@bernard6140 your the ignorant one you don;t know what we are born into ...I"m white I'm saying the whole social status chain.. and whats funny is that your guy's system is moral socialistic than anything have you ever heard of history repeating itself ....mmmmm go get you some of that "free government care" see we dont even know good government but what we do know is when assholes think that they are better than others on how much they donated ...FUCK MONEY
@nikitaceven23 history doesn't repeat itself, people do. majority of people fall into basic paterns which cause us to repeat ourselves. history is worthless. sure it teaches you what happened, but so what? hasn't helped much has it? no, it's the people. and you don't need to know shit about the past to know what's comming.
i aplogise for jumping into this, but i'm bored on youtube at 11:45 and i felt like my opinion was neccesary fully knowing it is not.
Part 1: Easy to criticize the USA ! Name another civilization that has freed more people than the USA, name another country that allows you the freedom of speech to make video like this?, Name an economic system that has brought people out of poverty than the USA. Easy to criticize the USA. Name another country that does NOT have blood in their history... the blood in our history were the lessons learned to get to where we are today...
@dmgstuff hey but ask him how many people have lost their rights and land for this freedom he speaks of.. its called native americans-Killed and Land stolen. Then ask him Which civilization that was as big as the US in 1800's enslaved people and saw them as unhuman but as objects. Then hes goign to say but we gave them freedom. yet they enslaved them first. IM JUST SAYIN? LOL
@dmgstuff Okay here we go, Name me another civilisation that has incarcerated more people than the US. Another country which allows freedom of speech like this? INSERT ANY EUROPEAN COUNTRY. the economic system in the US is way worse than any european, we actually have universal health care and we actually help our poor, instead of making them poorer. New zealand doesnt have blood in their history.
ok go ahead and insult the US, while you watch our tv, our movies, eat at our food chains, and listen to our music. sure you hate the US, but you use all of our stuff.
@Jdirtyy I never said i hate the us. I lived there for gods sake. But the thing I hate about Americans, is that they think america is the best country in the world. Americans are so fucking arrogant. They apparantly invented everything and water tastes like liquid gold and you poop cotton candy.. seriously.. And how could americans know better, they cant because nobody watches the news (which is biased as shit) and they never leave the country, except for mexico and canada...................
See when you say Universal health care youre acting like youre not paying for it.....YOU ARE, you pay way high taxes than the people in the United States....atleast thats what I have heard. tell me otherwise, if it isnt true. We do help our poor as well, they have housing centers and places for food, but most of our poor need a different kind of help, because most of the homeless in the United States are addicted to hard drugs...and cant get off.
Do you think we dont take care of things like that? Our healthcare system in Denmark is just alot more advanced than it will ever be in the states. Because you are afraid of becoming a "socialist country"
We pay alot to get alot. Not for ourself though, but thats kinda the point.
the united states isnt that great and there blood beccause this country looks for it involving itself in other peoples matters. its a good country but not a country for the people its a country based on profits and what is convinient and what will make this country prosper money wise
I'm not that much in to Hip-Hop and those styles, but one thing i like is when there are people that actually have something to say and do a thing of it.
Insted of all those nuthead showing off their bling, something tells me they forgot about the roots...
for you youngsters who werent alive when hiphop broke out to the masses, instead of just on the street corners... this takes it back to socially aware, poetically painted pictures of anger towards the people keeping the poor poor and the rich rich. and if youre hung up on the fact he's an albino, you need to grow up. whether you like it or not, bro ali is one of the dopest rhymers alive...
Why's anyone care what race he is? He says himself that it doesn't matter. Race is something we as humans created and only serves to divide us. He's way beyond that... An ignorant asshole is exactly that regardless of where he comes from. Same for all walks of life.
Would you rather have a politician lie to you about problems that he says he can fix, yet offers no solution, takes your tax money and donations, then funds his own evil pet projects and destroys the economy.
His purpose is to start a dialogue on these problems. No can solve these problems by themselves but at least you're thinking about it now, so that when a good solution presents itself you would be less likely too forget it.
Brother Ali and Lupe Fiasco. Two Artists that will make their mark in hiphop history if they stay consistant. I believe they have on an underground level.
Quite ironic that he belongs to one of the most conservative religions in the world. Although I do not know what Islamic sect he belongs to, they are conservative compared to western standards...well maybe excepting the Turks.
Man, who cares! White/Black/Albino/Muslim/Christian who gives a shit! Just listen to "The Truth" and stop being stereotypical/he's a wigga/Don Imus shit. Cause I tell ya what there aint anyone that's doin what he's doin right now! And that is "The Truth!" Rhymesayers and Doomtree 4 life!
Have any of you ever seen an albino "white" person? Or an albino "black" person? Do you know anything about albinism? Then, why do you insist he's "black"? I'm not sayin' I know for sure, but I have three of his albums and can't seem to find where he absolutely states that he is one or the other (and that is rather poignant), but from nothing more than phenotypical expression, I would say society would classify him as "white".
oh sorry brown people habit. too bad people in sudan aren't white, then maybe we would help them. its sad. too bad they don't have any oil we can exploit pffft
You don't know what you are talking about. Sudan does have oil...except that China is getting it. Also Russia and China sell weapons to the Janjaweed who are killing the people in Darfur....which is why the UN Security council will not declare genocide.
great video. words are incredible. i mean, we spend 19 billion a month in iraq right now. people love abusing other people, 1 billion dollar killing black people habit.
i hate to say, this track is simply amazing, and for those of you who do not understand, the way i interpret this song would be every race, hes not a Muslim hes just expressing the fact that we need to move passed religion, hate and race, which america has set in our minds that we have to set these people apart from us when we dont. were all humans and were all here, one world, one love.
this dude is a perfect example of why black or white doesnt matter. hes african-american, but his skin is super white. hes still speaking to the struggles of black americans, among other things. those who use the term "wigger" are living in the past which brother ali so eloquently debases. ur all making a blanket judgment if u start talking about him being a wigger. stop judging him and judge the music. it does NOT matter what ur skin color is; it matters what youre SAYING.
the second verse... wow.

Why is it everytime I get on the FUCKING internet everyone is always bashing the United States....sure I could'nt agreed more that SOME Americans are arrogant and ignorant. if you think youre country is perfect(like some of you are saying) youre dead wrong. Just because the assholes seem to find thier way online and talk shit doesnt mean you can lable us all, and bring up events that have happened a hundred plus years ago and use it against. Things were different then.

@savageguy831 He is not blind, but he have very poor eyesight. Else he would not be able to say "he felt better being around black people, when he has growing up" Or "that he did not thought that many white people would show up at his shows"

"look how youre hustling backwards, at the end of the year add up what they subtracted" great line. I'm an american and i do love my country, but i just wish i could have been alive back when it was a great, just nation. It is true that alot of americans are ignorant, not only that they're sheap who cant think for themselves. What worries me is the european and asian people who are wanting to embrace western ways of life, if they're not careful they might not be too far behind us. just saying

@dmgstuff this is exactly the kind of attitude your country is criticized for: arrogant and paranoid. Yes, we all have blood in our history but the rest of your story is BS! an economic system that has brought people out of poverty? please! sure there are quite a bunch of rich people in the states but a lot more really poor people, unlike my own country so save me your crap and go take a shit somewhere else (if you even have shit in your o so perfect country)

@bernard6140 - Everyone comes to the USA when they need help! Example: how much money did the Netherlands send to Haiti? Answer: $5 Million that's it! The USA sent over $700 Million! Get over it. We are the only super power on the planet; we help countries in need we do not conquer them! When you get in trouble, your government will come knocking on our door for help and we WILL help, even though you show such lack of respect today!

stop being so arrogant and please stop talking BS... you obviously don't know anything about the netherlands... we donated 85 million euros (114,5 million dollars), while we have 16 million inhabitants! USA donated 700 million? very good but how many people live in your perfect country? over 300 million.... You do the math! (or go get a calculator, in your case)

New zealand doesnt have blood in their history.

See when you say Universal health care youre acting like youre not paying for it.....YOU ARE, you pay way high taxes than the people in the United States....atleast thats what I have heard. tell me otherwise, if it isnt true. We do help our poor as well, they have housing centers and places for food, but most of our poor need a different kind of help, because most of the homeless in the United States are addicted to hard drugs...and cant get off.

Do you think we dont take care of things like that? Our healthcare system in Denmark is just alot more advanced than it will ever be in the states. Because you are afraid of becoming a "socialist country"

for you youngsters who werent alive when hiphop broke out to the masses, instead of just on the street corners... this takes it back to socially aware, poetically painted pictures of anger towards the people keeping the poor poor and the rich rich. and if youre hung up on the fact he's an albino, you need to grow up. whether you like it or not, bro ali is one of the dopest rhymers alive...

blackvaquero26 4 years ago
Have any of you ever seen an albino "white" person? Or an albino "black" person? Do you know anything about albinism? Then, why do you insist he's "black"? I'm not sayin' I know for sure, but I have three of his albums and can't seem to find where he absolutely states that he is one or the other (and that is rather poignant), but from nothing more than phenotypical expression, I would say society would classify him as "white".

i hate to say, this track is simply amazing, and for those of you who do not understand, the way i interpret this song would be every race, hes not a Muslim hes just expressing the fact that we need to move passed religion, hate and race, which america has set in our minds that we have to set these people apart from us when we dont. were all humans and were all here, one world, one love.
underthebrige55 4 years ago
this dude is a perfect example of why black or white doesnt matter. hes african-american, but his skin is super white. hes still speaking to the struggles of black americans, among other things. those who use the term "wigger" are living in the past which brother ali so eloquently debases. ur all making a blanket judgment if u start talking about him being a wigger. stop judging him and judge the music. it does NOT matter what ur skin color is; it matters what youre SAYING.
