THANKYOU

Hey that kid that almost got hit by the cab is Jake sicko from ds9!

Masterpiece

Dang I have that boombox in the beginning of the video

Dear: Hip Hop
We need your voice we need your strength we need your creativity to start talking about what's going on in this country right now.
Please we need you. We all need to take a deep look at what our American President is doing right now to all of us as a people. There's not enough weed or money that can protect us from American President that has sided with American Hate Groups that are now just American Terrorists.
I know they say political Hip Hop does not sell but that is so not true, because Hip-Hop has proven to to be the one art form that can shake the world when it stands for something. We have an American POLICE force that has decided that shooting people of color is as easy as shooting plastic ducks at a carnival, now on top we have an American President that has decided that a racist political strategy is the only way to win and we are all being eliminated one by one by one.
WE need all artists all DJs producers MCS to say we're not going to do this anymore we are not going backwards,  we need the power of Hip-Hop to come back and protect the community and call out hate for what it is.
   E V I L
We need the American Hip-Hop voice to start saying something about what they see from artists who never thought about saying something about what they see around them. I don't feel like going to the club I don't feel like expensive sneakers right now,
I feel like we should take a stand against an American president that's going to get us all killed and it's going to be too late for all of us.
Hip Hop we need you we are dying out here.
One song one video just to say ..... This is our Country as well and we won't let Donald Trump direct us in the path of an American Civil War created by Him for power wealth and greed.
      Hip Hop We need you. ❇
  Music is the most powerful force in this world Hip Hop we need you to be the Superheroes of the people again.

Hell this rhyme is impressive

"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]

😍 accidentally found his music on YouTube. What a happy accident! Love it.

Same as me only i found him on SoundCloud 😀

Giving life deeper meaning every meeting

It's funny how a white rapper has some of the best blues and soul-based beats I can think of...

He's albino

Can we just appreciate the fact the there are mc's like this that are still kickin doin their thing with all this mumble syrup what have you influenced shit being popularized. But then again underground has always been better

Devin Webb yes it has been better. Not weighed down and do your own thing

Quite an experience! 😀

Is he albino?

Deserea Goodwin I'm pretty sure he is

Yes. listen to his song Forest Whitaker

hip-hop real raw lyrical era rap

just what I needed

la cancion del albino subio mi animo :)

Is that hopsin he almost hit with the cab ?

Great song

Hard to believe this album was 10 years ago, I remember pre-ordering it, it dropped the same day as El-p's 'I'll sleep when you're dead', they both had that 'I might've been born yesterday but I stayed up all night' purely coincidental!

11 years, shit.

jajaj albino hijo de puta xdd

💕💕

You got skills dmel...no disrespect...melonated got to keep you strait😎

What was he checking in the mirror? He has no hair.

Chris K only way to check yourself. I only tell the truth when I'm naked in my bedroom in front of the mirror. understand?

The way you carry yourself Ali, man You are fantastic. Your music and smiling face always puts me in a better place.

The same here man.. His music and spirit are just amazing!

One of the sickest Rappers alive, So glad I stumbled on this!

Eminem and Brother Ali are the only two rappers i have heard that have rhymed with orange.

Fosjdjdjjrdk Jodhshsh161 finally, a valid comparison between Eminem and a white rapper based one what both did that’s unique 😂

classic

NICE ALBINO JAJAJAJAJAJAJA

Albino pro

Minneapolis baby

The logo looks more like "Rhymescryers"

love to you brother! = )

Dejen el trabajo a Los profesionales hijos

people be mad cuz I'm bumping this maybe cuz it's actually speaking real music

raw to the core.

yo tambien puedo cantar como el alvino pero tengo la voz mierda en este momento

re pro este tema

When did Ed sheeran start rapping

mis respetos al albino ali

esta cancion es muy buena

Beautiful Minneapolis.

saw this legend perform in brisbane last week ...amazing Ali ..👍👏👏👏🙏...PS haters. go and love your self 😄

I believe Brother Ali can bring us all together

This song always puts me in a bomb ass mood!! i fuck with brother Ali on some real shit :'))

edited? That's shitty.

So glad to see hip hop is still alive somewhere

418 Dislikes..??
WTF

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

@Kenny Juto Was about to say - 2 of the greats

55 seconds in is that hop

Was that hopsin?

Dec 2016 and still love this record

My name is also Ali..Respect!

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

my old next door neighbor looks exactly like brother ali.

Ali what is your blind ass doing in the driver's seat

is he blind?

Basically, he's got albinism. His sight is very limited

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

just realised Ali played almost all the parts.

how the fuck could you possibly dislike Brother Ali?

Sean Armao Mentioning Ali and Yachty in the same sentence is cold.... like Minnesota.

He preaches terrorism

RedSkull HAX who does????

Brother ali

The music doesn't click with me...
there is no reason to shit on it though

Ali imo one of the dopest to ever touch a pen or rip a mic

get at me brother

I'm pretty sure he can't legally drive a car.

you're into some shit hentai (bu,dum,tiss)

Brother aliiiiii, we Need more songs, save hip hop, it wet really wrong with bullshit rapper talking about Money and sex. i like your songs and lycrics amazing,

#SODOPE

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?

+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

Summer Britton in the early 2000’s when I was in high school me an my friends legit walked around with a boom box like that and we even had the rolled up linoleum to b boy on ! Yep them were the days

Fuck censorship Fuck rhyme Sayers for censoring this song thumbs down

+derek williams just because you censor it doesn't mean you're not cussing

+derek williams not to mention censorship is for cowards.

I didn't say anything about whether it was censorship or not, or my opinion on it.....I'm merely telling you it was the artist himself that choose to self censor it for personal reasons, not ryhmesayers.

no disrespect intended, just my opinion.

Fuck rhymesayers? the most legendary underground hip hop label

bro are you finnish

Rocking the motherfucking ADIDAS!

👍This dude is dope.

This is the only song by him i can stand listening to without getting sick that such a talented guy believes such absolute ridiculous bullshit about America. A very few key points he makes are true to an EXTent. This song is amazing however.

SUPER DOPE

Haha what a baghead 😂😂

Dylan Jackson and what are you doing ? Sitting at home judging people . Who is a baghead ?

This should be placed on the first place when we type 'Take Me Home'. Just dope.

jajajajaj xd

this is a song I listen too when I feel down

It will all turn fair, ed boi

Watching this years later didnt realize that was his son throwing the water balloon at the taxi.

LOL 0:19 "yup, still bald."

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 comment is just part of the song - forever. <3

This is seriously my favorite comment on YouTube.

just making sure there's no lint lol

I saw Brother Ali last night at The Observatory in Orange County for the Back 2 Basics Concert!!!!! Brother Ali is the shit!!!

brother ali if your reading this please contact jurrasic 5 for a collab

Filmed on the streets of Minneapolis.

I love it

This guy reminds me of Horrorshow without the Australian accent

RESPECT from Mongolia !

God bless Brother Ali & Rhymesayers!

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 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..

don't tell us about it just do it.the mind tricks the saying for doing.

Soul brotha

I have this album and his first release signed by him in person after one of many shows I've seen. Love this guy like a Brother. All the ex girlfriends I've had probably hate me for introducing him to them, cause I'm also bald and pump his shit 24/7. xD

this song makes feel a love for all fellow man.

i also really like the video... real humble and relatable.

those tiles though

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).
