Peace to Brother Ali! This is beautiful and triumphant! To anyone struggling, never give up! keep fighting hard to better your situation and help others when you can. Love & Blessings.
"Who decided you don't got enough to teach children? Stay spending billions, on stadiums and prisons" True shit, a sick beat, and a great video to top it all off!
Ali is a blessing to hip hop, he has been lyrically killing these Elites, this society was built on profit and sustainability.1% of the world population owns 45%+ of the worlds wealth. and its not going to change unless we as listeners and fans start promoting the music that inspires change and critical thinking. Now is more important than ever..
b- dubz yeah dude, it’s getting worse faster and faster. Hopefully the covid situation will wake up the working class to the fact they deserve financial security just as much as the people making real money of their work.
Good Lord. He dropped so many gems of Truth on this track .. You could literally expand his rhymes in to 10 books of wisdom. So much substance behind the words. More truth in those 4 mins than our news system has broadcasted in 40 years .. Real Music for Real Life
What can I say this man is the SHIT! I don’t know how I got here but it’s been a hour and can’t stop listening to him . I feel like we are in some sad and lonely times god is taking to us .please brothers and my sister let him in your heart ❤️ I am trying my best to do that love you 😘 all stay healthy and let god love 💕 you
Ali is actually a major community activist. He's out there helping the needy and protecting the innocent more than just about every rapper. Know your shit before you talk. In this song he is just telling the stories of the underprivileged and their environment. He's not making excuses or saying they are entitled to anything.
This video won back a mpls fan from high school -back in the day when no one knew who he was and when he had trouble getting shows and the venues sucked and the crowds were small but faithful...I had stopped paying attention to him, but hey, he's got my attention now. I'm still here. Plus, whoever directed this video did us justice. Real honest depictions of the people who live here and the collective reality that we face.
Man enough to say I cried to this song, so damn real... Brother youve touched me man, your an inspiration to me an my family. Mad love from Duluth Minnesota, cant wait to meet you at SOUNDSET 2013. Your doing things for people man, ONE LOVE!
Brother Ali, Aesop Rock, Atmosphere, Eyedea (RIP) and Abilities, the best! And Rhymesayers a great label! Love from Argentina! (sorry by my bad english)
Ali is a genius...i once spoke to him at a show in the UK for around 30 minutes and hes just how i hoped he would be wise, insightful and cool he had time for everyone!
Why does this only have half a million views? This is amazing business right here. This is what I'm talking about old-school real hip-hop on point. Put this dude on the list with some of the greats!
Ali is in the media, which influence billions... this video has 134,000 hits , for this one song, Brother can touch more lives thru media than he ever could giving his money.....
tight work! real tight! i love it! If songs likes this were played on radio stations, i would listen to the radio! this generation dont have a clue about what musical art really is! keep it tight brother ali!
So happy to get this album, I'm from England and they got this album in the big music shops(Even though they put him in the dance section by mistake). If you haven't yet, go buy this album, you will not be disappointed!
Beautiful ish right here mane. The rest of the story is that only the soul can set you free. Sprituality is the answer. These conditions do not define you. I didnt say religion. I said sprituality. Your own awareness of the GOD that you are. Only this is THE truth and only this will allow you to see that you've been free the entire time. Just unaware of it! One love Brotha Ali. This shit if fire!!!!!!! But the other side of the pain is just as necessary to say!! Light and Love!!
You are so right. Today is the first time I have ever heard of him. I just clicked on the video to preview it. Now I'm four songs in and totally love the passion this dude possess in his words.
first heard ali on an Immortal Tech track and it was one of the few times Tech's verse wasn't the best. Tech and this brother are both incredible, i think they are going on tour together.
Brother Ali is my inspiration! I wish I could be as peaceful and loving as this guy, I'm happy I live in Minneapolis, This guy is giving MN a good rep. Keep on Ali.
I like the beat so much...., And the lyrics are just awesome, straight facts n shit! I am really thankfull for this song, it gives me energy n shit. Every morning i listnen to this song. Sorry for my english... Shouts out to ali, Peace out!
I think Brother Ali is Prophet and he speaks to us with his lyrics. Not like some rappers that just talk about fuking bitches or smoking out every day. Na Brother Ali is the pure truth. That's why hes not major people can't take the truth. Brother Ali all the way
well yea, he's not white in the biological sense but he come from a white cultural background, that is to say, his parents were white and he came from a white family. But he grew up among black people who gave him his love for Hip Hop and revolutionary badasserry.
Hard to top victory but my man does it again
Peace to Brother Ali! This is beautiful and triumphant! To anyone struggling, never give up! keep fighting hard to better your situation and help others when you can. Love & Blessings.
