+Keith Marshall holy fucking loll
+Keith Marshall Haha Thank you Marshall
That's hilarious
i saw this comment almost a year ago and whenever this song starts on a youtube playlist i still giggle because of it.
200 subtle lols
This is the change that music needs.
People with an actual passion that aren't just making music to please the masses.
My step dad, who is about 42 years old, loves this guy.
I have never been disappointed by the music this man makes.
More rappers need to follow his lead.
9 year old comment :D how are you dude
damn, brother ali is one of the most underrated artists of all time
Everything he writes is gold
Go listen to Masta Ace.
The way you carry yourself Ali, man You are fantastic. Your music and smiling face always puts me in a better place.
Ali imo one of the dopest to ever touch a pen or rip a mic
Weeb
Yes!!! The man has so much soul
10000%
Awesome shit
Zero lies detected, good sir. Brother Ali is a master of his craft.
😍 accidentally found his music on TH-cam. What a happy accident! Love it.
Same as me only i found him on SoundCloud 😀
100% it’s crazy how I just came across him as we and this music should be all over the radio!!
Now ya know! If you like this, check out other Mpls hip-hop, its scene was lethal back in the day.
This is crazy, I accidentally found this comment on a Brother Ali video. What a happy accident...
I love how Brother Ali enjoys his work and still does it well. Keep at it Brother
he's a poet in the days of the poe-thetic ( It was written incorrectly by intent).
Yes you did.. Trust me, his music changes the way you look at life. Authentic and straight from the heart.. no one delivers the message like Ali.. Realest there is.
Brother Ali IS the MAN!! " - I see greatness in the person in the mirror very clearly.. and that's why I take this seriously.. baby come near to me and truly, truly hear me. ." .. Brother Ali... YOU can SING to ME any day and Ill even come close and I DO listen to your wOrDs WHich is why I've been a HUGE fan well.. since I first heard you back in like early 2000's.. Good times chilling with you after shows Bro., It's been too long - When are you coming back to PHOENIX? Or Preferably Salt Lake to the smaller venue??
Over 80 people have different taste in music and I respect that
this is a song I listen too when I feel down
It will all turn fair, ed boi
Race has nothing to do with being a good Hip-Hop/rap artist. People just be hatin' on dis guy's skills.
this song makes feel a love for all fellow man.
i also really like the video... real humble and relatable.
😀 Be well friend.
This guys rose above all his troubles from being mostly blind and look at him now.
He's a Musical genious!
Mashallah, I looove his voice , gives me goose bumps all over! :-D Allah ma3ak Brother Ali!
underground rap with a soaring chorus...can happen, word!
how the fuck could you possibly dislike Brother Ali?
chelsea6671 one must be unable to discern good work from shit work.
somebody got the hate blinders on
Same way they can like lil yachty....
Sean Armao Mentioning Ali and Yachty in the same sentence is cold.... like Minnesota.
He preaches terrorism
ABSOLUTE HIP HOP CLASSIC HANDS DOWN NO QUESTION
I remember I first heard this song and didn't like it because I thought this wasn't hip hop. My Lil Wayne poisoned ignorance made me do it. After escaping the grasps of a dull societal plane, I found myself playing this song and bobbing my head gracefully.
You've seen the light (not just what reflects off his head) xD
BayAreaBean welcome to real hip hop
I'm so glad I was the opposite growing up. I never liked the fruity ass lil Wayne shit and I never was into the popular hip pop shit that sucked. I remember playing sports and ppl would listen to the fruitiest shit before games and I never understood it, I never got why they liked it I'm so glad I found real hip hop. My journey started when I started looking up eminem's influences and found Masta Ace. The rest was over.
@@FinalFlash2110lil Wayne is one of the best rappers of all time.. He raps.
Just say you like a different kind of hip hop that's more smooth with jazz beats. Don't discredit lil wayne when he can rap with anyone, Andre 3000, Eminem, Benny the butcher, Kendrick Lamar
Ha.
I hated Wayne back then and now I respect his greatness!
All Fam
Legally blind and driving a cab. I bet he missed a few spots mopping the floor too.
Nah I'm playing, Ali is a legend. Great track/video, as always. Respect.
I love this guy! His music puts me in a good ass mood every time I listen to it!
Music is a universal language if you ask me.
Imagine a rapper today portraying themselves as a cab driver or janitor. Don't think you'll ever see that, considering how cocky they all are.
nikesb930 big Krit Dreamin is one that comes to mind!
If you seek you find what you want...this is a general phrase that applies here
@@49dwalin55 Was about to say - 2 of the greats
He is a rapper today, just on an independent label
Dababy- Suge
Love everything you put out Brother Ali! No need to compete :when it can't compare!🥰😎
am I the only one who still wants to walk the streets rockin' a bigass boombox like that kid at the start of the video?
yeah that shit is annoying lol
Oh my gosh I still dream about it
+Ben Solis lmao
WeZzeh No man. I always rock the boombox. It's the only way to roll. Spread some soul too the people 😉😲😜
WeZzeh do it bro
brother ali is so inspirational.
just realised Ali played almost all the parts.
@AlecZisi I met Ali in 2010 at a show in Toronto. I shook his hand, told him he inspired me to be a better person in life, and moved on. One of my fav artists
Anyone realise when he goes to the mirror and "fixes his hair"? HE HAS NO HAIR! :D
Makin sure his shine is tiz'ight
Isn't he blind, why is he driving lol
MADelectriCITY Who told you he was blind?
ahmadhamad He did
ahmadhamad Someone's not paying enough attention to the music.
I gotta say Brother Ali was the first underground rapper I'd ever listened to 4 years ago, and he's still my favorite ARTIST to this day. He isn't the direct reason I started making music, but he damn sure inspires me WAY more then any other artist/poet/lyrical god on this earth. My biggest dream as a hip hop artist is to have a chance to meet Ali one day. Just thought I'd share that, peace!
One of the sickest Rappers alive, So glad I stumbled on this!
Respect from Manchester, UK, seen Union Jack, God bless America, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
Watching this years later didnt realize that was his son throwing the water balloon at the taxi.
how could could someone dislike this joint.....
0:24 that's a block from my house!
actually most of this video was filmed in my neighborhood! cool!
love Brother Ali, peace from Belgium
Hahaha bus boy Ali is the predecessor to lunch man Ali in She's Enough!!!(Atmosphere)
Holy snap😂😂😍
this song has more soul than everyone combined in these posts
Who would've thought one of the best rappers is an albino Muslim?
Brother-Ali put down some amazing quotes for a book hes featured in, he speaks on his methods of writing his songs, its dope, they got hold of the best guys for it, Q.Tip, Aesop Rock, Chuck D, Cypress Hill, G Rap, Masta Ace... the name of it is-
'' Hovv ::To ::Rap ''
God bless Brother Ali & Rhymesayers!
This fool makes me feel so much better
"Take Me Home"
[Chorus:]
And I promise if I take you home, I'll sing you a song
Never leave me alone
Said c'mon baby throw me a bone, I'll sing you a song
Never leave me alone, and I promise if you take me home, I'll sing you a song
Never leave me alone
Said c'mon baby throw me a bone, I'll sing you a song, never leave you alone
I'm a tell you something about me
That's my favourite subject, I don't know whether you picked up on that yet or not
[Verse 1:]
I never said I had a business mind
I just don't believe that quitting time exists, ain't no finish line to this
You got to give me mine, I really shine, my given time is this
Live and die by the grind driven by the fist
Where do you place my name if I never played your game
We don't race the same, I don't run inside no painted lane
Plus ya'll pace is strange, ya'll either stop or you sprint
Run if it's sunny and hide if it change to rain
I would be half the Ali that I am
If I slowed myself up and tried competing with these people fam
I'm every bit as unconcerned as they are unprepared
Market flooded needles to say I wasn't scared
Let's all drop they same day, I don't fuckin care
Put listening stations in the store and let the public hear
Better yet, let's have an instore performance
Make it oranges to oranges, me dwarfing your indurance
After that we'll shoot the shit with our supporters
And see how many more discs of yours the Indy stores order
Shit you already knew I out rap em'
On the low we out work, out think, and out class em'
[Chorus]
Nobody's doing this thing exactly like we do
They do it, they just ain't doing it like us, you know what I'm sayin'
Sucker ass mother fuckers
[Verse 2:]
My personal pedigree's so bonafide
Cause a man of my stature ain't born overnight
The undisputed king of where poor folks reside
Because everytime I speak it be hope vocalised
And you sit and bitch with your chickens about it isn't fair
The sound system ain't shit but I was crystal clear
We first name basis, sound men - we give em' beer
Plus I tipped em' 50 last semester when the click was here
Listen here, I ain't gonna give you all my secrets
Just these few examples help me illustrate my pretense
Our strength is unrelated to your weakness
Cause you'll never be a worthy pool of peers to be competed with
I see my shit with Son House and Syl Johnson
And always loose, I done lost face too but I'm sporting their shoes
So let me remind you, them little kicks you trying to fit, we out grew
Them shits in high school man
[Chorus]
I don't think I'm arrogant man, I think I just
You know, I do's what the fuck I does man if that's just...
Kiss my ass for all I care
[Verse 3:]
It's of foremost importance there is none like unto the brother
Out this mother fucker regardless
So stop all the nonsense, you seem me lounging - call the Rhymesayers office
I've officially lost it
They say my reputation precedes me
I don't know the meaning of off season, I ain't taking it easy
Ain't taking a day off, never had an off night
Never been laid off, I live on the job site
It all pays off though when I squint in the spotlight
And see your lips are moving to the true shit that I write
And we gon' be alright every night of my life
It's my night cause I view the future like it's hindsight
I ain't waiting, I'm patiently persevering
I see greatness in the person in the mirror very clearly
And that's why I take this seriously
Baby come near to me and truly, truly hear me
[Chorus]

For the people!.
Still here in 2022 🙌🏽
one of the best artists ever
Music may be the last craft blind to race, religion, and nationality. All that is left is skill and passion.
Keep the art moving Ali!
I love brother Ali.
this is a good song.
I saw Brother Ali last night at The Observatory in Orange County for the Back 2 Basics Concert!!!!! Brother Ali is the shit!!!
This song is timeless
👍This dude is dope.
Weeb
I don't understand how anyone can dislike Ali
my old next door neighbor looks exactly like brother ali.
The man just rhymed oranges with endurance...and made it sound good.
Who gives a shit about his skin tone...
Feel the lyrics, don't just hear 'em.
And some how this is not mainstream and Panda Panda is.
Farid habibzada trust me, I'm pissed as well, the better rappers often times go un noticed.
Most people are to overwhelmed to scratch the surface
loved tha fact that in the beginning the taxi car had a Minnesota license plate on it, so you know this video is home grown
who said hip-hop isn't for the white? ^^
He's actually albino.
Smelk92 doesn't get whiter than that.
+Silk Albino isn't an ethnicity, it's a problem with the production of melanin in the body. He's white with albinism.
black music
So much soul in this man's voice.
Some amazing underground stuff.
My feel-good song...
Be well friend 😀
Just saw this guy live.
This is REAL music.
Best flow ever
Thumbs up if you appreciate what Hip-Hop should be ... Brother Ali's tooo dope
i wake n bake to this song lol
This song makes me so happy
Such Soul...
i really like how creative rhymesayers gets with their music videos. As far as video goes I think this is one of the best
Nardwuar!!
brother ali=beauty
#SODOPE
Giving life deeper meaning every meeting
is he white or albino? Hes got Soul that's for sure.
he is a caucasian male with albinism, although he stated that he felt better received by the african american culture
He's proof that skin color doesn't mean shit when it comes to having soul or growing up rough. Just amazing.
white chocolate
black
I love you Brother 💚💙💜
I am salivating at the mouth; working towards my opportunity to create something I have such passion for; It's in my mind and soul.... SOON I will show it to the world and let them see it, until then I will continue to obtain the knowledge I need to break free of this metaphoric state.
Kyle Cameron that comment makes me think you don't understand what the word "metaphoric " means.
+Kyle Cameron You need to break through the stagnant state and transcend to your new self via metamorphosis.
+Doug Rockford it is possible I used the wrong word, I meant it in the sense of living in a fake/unreal cage. as in the cage it a metaphor learned helplessness (for lack of a better term) and obtaining knowledge is the key to ones escape.
+Kyle Cameron Yeah man, I feel your spirit! Keeping going! Any day now..
same
best brother Ali song!
Oh boy I've known those two a long time and only getting acquainted with the rest of the 'sayers now..... Thanks for the tips, I'm gonna have to check'em out.... Go conscious rap, go Rhymesayers!
Brother Ali and Dinosaurs are 2 examples of how the most dominant creatures stay underground
God Bless you Brother Ali!
Just discovered Rhymesayers and Brother Ali, good stuff. Feelin it. Glad to hear hip hop going back to bein about real lyrics and good rhymes rather then the pop garbage most of it has become.
Amazing!!!!! So great!

Brother Ali always cheers me up
I listen to Doing It Stealthy when I'm experiencing existential dread. It makes it worse but... I just can't stop.
Damn. this is just so good.

One of my top five favorite albinos. For reals.
