"I love rappers with the big voices . They put the power in their lyrics so you live for it And spit it boisterous, the ignorant can't ignore it." Ali ur one of them bro.
Thank you brother ali. I can't put into words on here what you have done for not only me but for the world. I have some much respect and love for Rhymesayers. You have been in my life since middle school. Thank you for continuing to speak out on the hard stuff and I will be here with you until the end.Thank you and I always look forward to the next time I can vibe with you.
Ali is definitely an amazing MC and an amazing talent. I've been a fan since watching him on Scribble Jam battling Eyedea but I have to say the gospel has been way too heavy for me personally I don't really feel beliefs need to be preached in records. To each their own though, it's his art and his message, I'm just not a fan of it. NF is deep rooted christian and he manages to make really good music without the need to preach his beliefs on us.
I was just wondering about that line. What does he mean by that? See, I'm from sweden, so I'm thinking that my perspective of american hip hop might be far off from what's actually going on over there. Is Brother Ali really not considered highly ranked within hip hop media in the US?
@@magnusnordstrom3927 he is considered underground in the US, or a "backpack rapper" which is a term coined to marginalize rappers who actually rap about things. In the US, artistic talent and marketability are sort of on the same spectrum for some reason. The loyal fans of Brother Ali, Aesop Rock, and Sage Francis would probably argue they are among the best, but the mainstream culture says it's Eminem, Kendrick, and those kinda guys because they make the money. Things more focused on modern rap culture are interested in the new guys mumbling garbage about eating pills. Rap culture interested in actual lyracism and composition has been cornered into a tiny niche for like, music nerds. It's pretty sad.
Goddamn, that is sad. Guess there is a massive contrast between current hip hop narrative and my youtube feed. Probably won't change much when these mumble rap hyping kids grow up and become an even stronger commercial target group with more dispensable income, either.
@Fuck You Mostly because, after years of listening to him, I know I'm going to do it anyway. There are a very select few amount of artists/content creators I reserve this treatment for. Brother Ali happens to be one of them.
Thank you Brother Ali for yet another deeply honest look into your soul. I'll be real sad if I don't get to see another live performance if you do give up the live shows but also would understand it. Your music is truly a blessing and covers so many spectrums of human emotion. Many of your songs have touched me and my friends in the most personal ways as we've fought through our own struggles, and we'll be forever thankful of that.
Brother Ali is the man. My favorite part of his music is how he starts out his career so fiery and ready to throw hands and drop bars any minute. But as his career progresses and he grows in his life you see that tempered and you hear his growth in his lyrics. The man really writes a bout what he cares about and it’s so apparent.
So beautiful. I'm sure most of your fans understand that you're an artist Brother. You are about your art and staying true to your craft, and that's what we all love you for, it's at least what I love you for. I place you among the greatest, because of your respect for the music and every little detail i feel you give us. You helped so many of us out here. Keep doing what you do man, GOAT. Much love.
Brother Ali + that Laid back- head bobbin’- boom-bap + that laid back- ear-grabbin’-flow = a whole lot of, YES. 😌👌🏼 This song will definitely be a thermal for me, for the winter that’s approaching. I need that jacket though. 😏 A new album would be very much appreciated. 🙏🏼
I don't like the emojis but I dig the idea that we need that jacket for the winter. We got a lot of great content for the fall but I feel we kinda lackin' on the warmth factor to last 'til spring. If we don't get a December drop from at least a few good men we gonna be chillin' (ice cold) on some old shit haha.
I feel like I have been living under a rock! How in the world have I never heard of you and I am 36 years old, man! I am so inspired! So much love and respect all the way from Morocco, Brother!
We will never see another Brother Ali. Ever. This man is a walking legend. I promise you he will be appreciated so much more in our later years than now. Even though we need his message now, we're just not ready to listen.
Brother Ali....you inspire me so much. You don't know how much your music means to some of us.... And how your voice has helped us tackle life. Keep doing you, brother. We appreciate you. You are blessed. Your music is not for the ears..... It's for the soul.
The production on this is absolutely incredible. Great sample. And of course Ali always comes with one the most powerful hip hop voices of all time. Beautiful track.
Brother Ali, I would watch you in a sold out crowd at the square if it was performed in nothing but ASL. Thank you for a lifetime sir. Much love, big love, only love.
@@MorganGrimmett To be honest I don't know him yet as I basically just discovered Rhymsayers. Regarding other rappers, The Underachievers and Abstract also released new albums in 2018, I recommend checking them out!
BROTHER ALI IS LEGEND. YOU WILL ALWAYS STAY ALIVE WITH THE HUMAN RACE. BE BLESSED THE HUMANS. STRAIGHT NAPALM BOMB OF EXPLOSION OF ART. THEY'LL SPEAK OF YOU FOR YEARS TO COME.
Met Ali twice now, once touring for Mourning in America and it felt like he was struggling with the weight of performing about the death of his father, once more recently giving a small lecture on hiphop and islam and doing a show with a live band he didn't know in the local spot. During the lecture I could really feel him as inspiration.
There are people out there who genuinely value your talent and your message. been listening to the start and words can't describe how much I appreciate your music. keep shining forever my brother
This Brother is the realest! I'm glad he isnt in the mainstream. Aside from his Talent his independence is his greatest asset. The mainstream would try to water him down and dilute his potency.
I had to honor to catch the last half of a Brother Ali set. There was an aura about that show that I'll never forget. Ali was so positive and welcoming. If you ever have the chance to see his show, do it. It'll be on your mind for a while.
I remember watching a video of Ali perform Dorian live and he doesn't say the slur in the song. He's growing as a person. Great role model for anyone. Saw him in 2015, put on an amazing show with Bambu.
if you greaduate from the first grade, there is no point in ever going back and saying who the best first grader was. a whole bunch of guys in rhymesayers, strange famous, strange music.. etc are WAY beyond that first grade mention. you guys are all in college bout to grab the masters degree now where the rest of the industry stuck either in their toddler years mumbling, their pre teens bragging and going through puberty, and the edgy teens who think theyre unique.. being brought down to their level just so you could be compared aint exactly what you want brother ali. there's a lot of talent out there, alot undiscovered and a lot of that talent also means a fuck ton to people. when people speak about brother ali it's damn near always in reverence and respect. that's far greater than any comparison to some dude that has fame but damn near no respect behind his name.
I agree but you gotta know this is their career and it's like grinding in a company for 20 yrs getting paid minimum wage and then watching a young goof come in and becoming CEO. Money isn't the main goal but it'd probably be nice to see a portion of those stacks.
I feel you @AN G. I also feel what the OP was saying, and it ain't about the money. But if artists were paid or were making what they deserve based on their actual talent? I realize music is subjective and not everybody likes the same shit...but I also don't care about that lol. 99% of the shit on the radio is just that.. *SHIT* ! It's just a travesty how flipped the industry is, what is popular, and what is considered "good" these days. Most, if not all, of the artists on Rhymesayers, among many other "underground" artists and labels, ought to have multimillion dollar record deals and make enough where after a couple decades in the game they could retire and live comfortably for the rest of their lives. I think what's popular and what is on the radio is a reflection of the state of intelligence in America and the world overall nowadays. Very sad.
I doubt Brother Ali will ever see this not care but no matter how old an artist gets, no matter how much their music changes, I will always love them and be forever grateful for the memories they soundtracked. Glad to see you’re still doing your thing.
Humility is a trait learned only by one who has learned himself. Not easy making a career on being a man being real. While always being humble. We see ya brother
Brother Ali you helped the world before. We still need you. I am just he with the cat on his lap and his eyes closed to see if I can find my heart. Block the bad chakras you can groove anytime brother, anywhere. Like a legend should
Brother Ali is so real, hes almost to real. with all the mumble rappers that have all the media attention with their face tats. The true MC's of our generation never get the recognition they deserve
177 people blatant haters. This is just incredible. This s a reflector beaming you straight in the eye with time passing. Welcome to this short assed life.
50+ ppl don’t know what real hip hop is.. I guess everyone needs something they don’t understand to hate on. Love ya Brother Ali! Keep giving us that soul!
Gotta find em, but I have a stockpile of those old battles I need to upload. I was there for every scribble jam, just never got my win, lol. Keep Hip Hop Alive! -ProPain Rip eyedea.
Back for more food for my soul. Thanks for 18 years of peace and harmony Brother Ali. I bought shadows on the sun when it was released and man. I’ve grown right along with you. Much love to you. And to all your fans. We love you.
Growing up in the early 90's and discovering deep puddle dynamics, atmosphere, e&a, Aesop, brother Ali, illogic, living legends, mf doom, and soo many that I don't have time to list, I don't think I could of asked for a better generation to relate to. Hip hop has grown expenetially with the addition of these artists and I feel I've been gifted a 'once in a life time' experience to observe the growth and expansion of the music I see as LIFE!!!!!
such a beautiful song, thank you Hermano Ali, Brother Ali a cistern from ChiTown told me to consume your jewels, freshness homie emcee .. the sample of Badu and the guitar lovely, BlessUp!
Nah. That’s just part of the game. As an artist you have to study your own body of work, too, see what worked, what didn’t, what folks are saying, what you can improve on, etc. 🤷🏻
Brother Ali is dope hands down I grew up in Minneapolis and Saint Paul Minnesota walked the same streets and all ways jammed out to Brother Ali in my high's and low's these songs brighten my day much love to you Brother Ali keep bringing new tracks homie
Thank you Brother Ali and all involved in making this music video. It was so vulnerable and honest, it made me cry. You always evoke emotions when I listen to you. To me that is the sign of a true artist. Much love❣

sorry to bother but could you check out my music if you have some time? im really tryna make it as a rapper

Truly. Tears keep coming down as I'm replaying this.
Ali is a superhero in my mind
hands down the best label with the best hiphop artists
Yea and for the UK hip hop scene, check out High Focus records.
already saw The Four Owls live, the show was very dope
Idk Def Jux and EC had a pretty stacked roster back in the day.

Was A Great time Reacting to this Video! Felt Like the World Needed to know Real Hip Hop!!!
You give me life. Can't wait to see you next month in Austin
"Say that then" Hit the center of the song for a reason.
Brother Ali never lets us down

Brother Ali is so true to the art and his craft. Most "MCs" today suck so bad they could drink peanutbutter through a Capri Sun straw.

That beat is beautifully chilling. Like a hug from someone who don’t know how to love.
I like when an artist can be real without trying to be 'hard'. Ali and Slug do it great
Andrew Diaz same same
and when they write songs about bein hard, you get shit like Bad Motherfucker pt 2

being brought down to their level just so you could be compared aint exactly what you want brother ali. there's a lot of talent out there, alot undiscovered and a lot of that talent also means a fuck ton to people.
