***** Unfortunately I had a really bad experience with him in Long Island NY where he was trying to pick up some chicks HARCORE and wasn't having no fans. I was so disappointed. But honestly I know he is a great guy and have since forgiven him. Can't blame a dude for getting his game on lol
He's probably scared to do Slug, despite his shift in demeanor as of recent years. If you watch some videos of Slug during his young, emaciated emcee years he seems very mysterious / possessed.
SoloVerse True,Hes usually pretty relaxed but youre right it just takes one off color comment and hes done with that shit.If they vibed together it would be amazing though
Xaviert Jiménez Word, that was my intro to his music, and I fell in love with that album, man, but he’s still legit pretty underground, right? I’m dumb af when it comes to hip-hop knowledge (and picky af), so I may be wrong, but I thought it was under the mainstream radar, no? I know it was huge amongst most hip hop heads, at least all my friends who are big hip hop heads, but I don’t know if it was so big that people would be checking out this several year old vid. Seems like with these older vids, and a lot Nard’s vids, in general, that to get the BIG view/like numbers, you gotta be mainstream, or like legendary.. But hey, he got over 1k likes now, still I agree with the sentiment that he should have more, and more accolades, in general! ✌️❤️🏴♾
@@nikolademitri731 that album was my intro to his music as well. As far as I know he's still pretty underground. But I like it. You can see he does music just because he loves what he does so he puts all his effort to make good and enjoyable music not just because is his job now. I recommend you to listed MF doom, madlib or Freddie Gibbs. Just in case you have not give them a chance. Also I hope you are safe and healthy wherever you are right now. Peace ✌️
hey this is awesome! I love Brother Ali! He is about to release a new album and I am stoked! Where is Atmosphere's interview though? Slug and Ant need to have a Nardwuar interview!
I'm watching this video after taking the "Mourning in America and Dreaming in Color" record out of my storage, autographed with my named misspelled lmaooo, in tears. One of my favorite favorites, I've met him countless times and he's an Earth angel. I haven't listened to him in a long time, I missed him. wow
This is the first time I think I've ever seen//felt narduar or brother Ali rest in the company of a kindred spirit. Surprising! Weird and delightful. Somehow the plot thickens.
Brother Ali is the most legally blind person that can see all spectrums ! Ps, shadows on the sun is all time top 20 albums, plus rain water is top 15 hip hop tracks if you listen😮
too amazing you're the absolute best nardwuar Canadian journalism is some of the best in my opinion but you are the absolute tops thanks for being you and bringing the people interviews with amazing people like brother Ali and so so so much more truly inspiring homie
NARDWUAR you got Brother Ali,Sage Francis But not Atmosphere(Slug&Ant)+Grieves+P.O.S And More on Rhymesayers ENT & Not complaining I would just like to see some more(Independent Label Names that have been doing good Consistently,Just a thought not Complaining..Love from Delaware
I gave Brother Ali Dap for 10 mins straight while we talked about deep as shit back on the Immortal Technique & Ali Tour. Btw his Prince impersonation was perfect.lol
I’m a little bummed at the lack of props to Eyedea especially when he said everyone there cept him n sage couldn’t rap? Tf? How u gonna say that eyedea and slug are two of the greatest yo ever exist .brother Ali is awesome but that wasn’t rly cool bruh :(
what was the Break the Grip of Shame record for? one of my favorite conscious hip hop songs of all time. had the lyrics typed up and pinned to my bedroom wall in high school
Love Brother Ali, seen him in El Paso, TX... I've always thought (if I was famous enough to be interviewed by Nardwuar) that I would hold the pose as long as possible! 🙂
Yessss Brother Ali! A very nice and respectful man. Met him last year at a show. Great performer. Also Seen him at my first concert ( Paid Dues 2012 ❤️ )
8:24 what a great quote. "Terrorism is the war of the poor, and war is the terrorism of the rich."
This guy is do incredibly respectful to Nardwuar, it's amazing
hes respectful to everyone. i met him after a gig, humble guy.
***** Unfortunately I had a really bad experience with him in Long Island NY where he was trying to pick up some chicks HARCORE and wasn't having no fans. I was so disappointed. But honestly I know he is a great guy and have since forgiven him. Can't blame a dude for getting his game on lol
Minnesota Nice
Ofcourse he wasn't having fans when he was picking up girls lol
Dude, when he said "haha, got ya" after telling nard about a guy in his video. He's enjoying it so much
I will say Brother Ali is the most underrated lyrical genius in the game. Seriously just listen to freestyles and ANY song
Politically maybe, but lyrically nah, trumped by Billy Woods!
I am a big ali fan but ya... you right. Lyrically he good but its not genius or anything. But he a mean rapper for sure
I mean I would say both Brother Ali and Aesop Rock are
Brother Ali is one of my idols in hip hop.
too me cool so skills dope rap
I don't think he'd like being referred to as an idol. 😄
I feel you friend
Better than 99% of the people Nard interviews.
Man yall dont understand this dude is the man in Mpls he cool with everyone he fights for the city and its people so much. much love
MPLS MN STAND UP
I do understand. Brother Ali is a legend here. He is the kindest soul. So mo... chill he's a great man and a lot of us care.
Brother Ali dope lyricist and down to Earth dude.
Dope music awesome Cool good Listen wow powerful best lyricist ever real hip-hop raw
The fact that it ended before Ali broke pose makes me think that Nardwuar broke first. I wanna see it.
watch the end of the Lil b interview, HILARIOUS haha
Brother Ali actually made a song based on this interview. It's called "Nardwuar", check it out!
Nardwuar vs. Aesop Rock
Dude, fer real.... nardwuar, do that shit, pleez
I'd love that!
Aes never tours or plays festivals so i doubt it'll ever happen though that would be great.
Hnnngg
Can't, AR is a original dark blue death grips like type, which is respectable.
What a genuinely nice guy Brother Ali is!
nardwuar vs atmosphere
please this
He's probably scared to do Slug, despite his shift in demeanor as of recent years. If you watch some videos of Slug during his young, emaciated emcee years he seems very mysterious / possessed.
Drew- As a 10+ year Atmosphere fan, that's probably correct. I'd still like to see him, or Aesop...
Please, please, please
good Cool Awesome hip-hop music rap league please please
"My dear friend eyedea, god bless him" made my body get the chills
Nardwuar vs. Joe Budden would be awkward as fuck, it'd be perfect.
+SoloVerse YESSS.Joey would play along with the gimmicks better than most guests have.He works well with that shit
+brandon payne depends on his mood. He might start copping an attitude and just not have it with Nardwuar's hijinks. It would be fascinating though.
SoloVerse True,Hes usually pretty relaxed but youre right it just takes one off color comment and hes done with that shit.If they vibed together it would be amazing though
brandon payne
Very true, I just hope if they do meet they click well.
Nardwaur vs Immortal Technique
R.EYE.P.
Eyedeas never die
R. EYE. P
The last Brother Alli album it's fire one of the best albums of 2019. I'm shocked this video does not even have 1k of likes

Very few come close to Brother Ali's skill level on the mic
hey this is awesome! I love Brother Ali! He is about to release a new album and I am stoked! Where is Atmosphere's interview though? Slug and Ant need to have a Nardwuar interview!
binge watching your vids, they're great man.
I'm watching this video after taking the "Mourning in America and Dreaming in Color" record out of my storage, autographed with my named misspelled lmaooo, in tears. One of my favorite favorites, I've met him countless times and he's an Earth angel. I haven't listened to him in a long time, I missed him. wow
Eyedea is a legend.
I knew Ali was gonna show love, and that's why I love this guy.
Eyedea was 🐐
We need an Atmosphere interview too
This is the best interview. Br. Ai is naturally chill.....like it's in his dna
Brother Ali actually made a song with a record he too from Nardwuar and named the song Nardwuar Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn i love this man
This is the first time I think I've ever seen//felt narduar or brother Ali rest in the company of a kindred spirit. Surprising! Weird and delightful. Somehow the plot thickens.
FINALLY SOMEONE GOT THE FREEZE RIGHT
Classic interview. Team Nardwuar, interview this brother again... he has an INCREDIBLY dope new project out that is being slept on heavily imo.
This is one of the best Nardwuar endings!
real dude. Love me some Brother Ali. Big up Ali!
I love him. God literally speaks through him.
How he tried to out-wait him in the end, looool - I dunno if I've seen anyone else try to do that.
Man!!! 2014!!! late but im still happy to have witnessed this. Brother Ali is one of the most inspirational people i know (would like to know)lol
Brother Ali is the most legally blind person that can see all spectrums ! Ps, shadows on the sun is all time top 20 albums, plus rain water is top 15 hip hop tracks if you listen😮
3:48 "not playing doing a fight"
"Brother ali, have you bought your horse?"
Laugh *naayyy*
Brother Ali freezing at the end, really makes me happy for some reason
Brother ali made a song after this interview for Nardwuar.
Legend has it they're both still frozen to this day
4:45 the smoothest muthafuckin transfer you will see
Did not know that Narduar interviewed my favorite classical rappers. Super dope 🌞
Nardwuar V.S Atmosphere!
He will never do Atmosphere because it's impossible to know anything about Slug's past.
Good luck.
Drew Schaetz if anyone can do it....
Dope music good Listen wow poet history Good and brother Ali Dope poetry lyrical era both hip-hop real raw
Bullshit. Kathy Averill knows everything about Slug.
One of your best interviews by far! This is amazing.
too amazing you're the absolute best nardwuar Canadian journalism is some of the best in my opinion but you are the absolute tops thanks for being you and bringing the people interviews with amazing people like brother Ali and so so so much more truly inspiring homie
Nardwuar vs Royce da 5'9 or Nardwuar vs Illogic
Ali is such a cool and humble dude
best ending of all the nardwuar interviews
We need more interview with good rappers like Brothr Ali
Great interview from two great humans.
He's so awesome. Mpls ftw!
NARDWUAR you got Brother Ali,Sage Francis But not Atmosphere(Slug&Ant)+Grieves+P.O.S And More on Rhymesayers ENT & Not complaining I would just like to see some more(Independent Label Names that have been doing good Consistently,Just a thought not Complaining..Love from Delaware
When I got to the end I was cheering on that final pose! Haha so many people get weirded out, Brother Ali handled it like the champ he is🎉
The documentary he speaks of @1:50- Baadasssss! (2003)
"How to Get the Man's Foot Outta Your Ass" - saw that joint on TV a few years back.
now thats a real ending lol
always happy to see another video from you Nardwuar.
I love that Brother Ali is the one who freezes with him!!!
What he said about Doom 😊
There's a lil bit of Doom in all of us as long as the music is DOOM🎼🎵🎶
Brother Ali will give you more then an interview. Hit you with some knowledge
I gave Brother Ali Dap for 10 mins straight while we talked about deep as shit back on the Immortal Technique & Ali Tour. Btw his Prince impersonation was perfect.lol
Wow, during the pose at the end, Ali just seemed to turn into a photograph, kind of terrifying actually.
Nardwuar vs. Swans

Thanks Nard
Is the slug interview or atmosphere interview anywhere w nardwuar

Humble guy
Absolutely incredible that he can remember the lines he and Sage Francis spit back and forth at Scribble Jam
Nard's best interview
I'm back here for the Prince story
I am excited to vote for Dr. West!
One of the best rappers of all time. The guy is a poet.
Brother Ali, GOT Nardwuar @ 2:58

Brother Ali is one hell of a sweet dude.
WHERE THE FUCK IS THE CASHMERE CAT INTERVIEW!?
I’m a little bummed at the lack of props to Eyedea especially when he said everyone there cept him n sage couldn’t rap? Tf? How u gonna say that eyedea and slug are two of the greatest yo ever exist .brother Ali is awesome but that wasn’t rly cool bruh :(
what was the Break the Grip of Shame record for? one of my favorite conscious hip hop songs of all time. had the lyrics typed up and pinned to my bedroom wall in high school
that Sage Francis story is fucking awesome
Love Brother Ali, seen him in El Paso, TX... I've always thought (if I was famous enough to be interviewed by Nardwuar) that I would hold the pose as long as possible! 🙂
Legend says they are still standing at that spot in the same pose to this day.
Nardwaur "have you bought a horse yet?"
AB: laughs * neighs* like a horse
This a real one
I'm just smiling 😃 😊 🙂 😀 😄 😁 😃 😊
I need to know who backed down first at the end freeze frame!
Brother Ali is one of my favorite rappers

Brother Ali is faith in humanity
Every hero needs a theme song.

Rhymesayers!
Did Nard literally say the dudes name then immediately after in the same sentence ask him what his name was? -_-
Right on.
This one doesn't require too much crushing.
Nardwuar Vs. NOMEANSNO
Seanwuar is just so much better.
