***** 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
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!
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 ✌️
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
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’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 :(
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
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! 🙂
8:24 what a great quote. "Terrorism is the war of the poor, and war is the terrorism of the rich."
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
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
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 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
Brother Ali dope lyricist and down to Earth dude.
Dope music awesome Cool good Listen wow powerful best lyricist ever real hip-hop raw
Better than 99% of the people Nard interviews.
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!
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!
R.EYE.P.
Eyedeas never die
R. EYE. P
"My dear friend eyedea, god bless him" made my body get the chills
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

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
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.
Very few come close to Brother Ali's skill level on the mic
binge watching your vids, they're great man.
We need an Atmosphere interview too
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 🐐
Nardwaur vs Immortal Technique
I love him. God literally speaks through him.
3:48 "not playing doing a fight"
This is the best interview. Br. Ai is naturally chill.....like it's in his dna
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.
real dude. Love me some Brother Ali. Big up Ali!
Classic interview. Team Nardwuar, interview this brother again... he has an INCREDIBLY dope new project out that is being slept on heavily imo.
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😮
Brother Ali actually made a song with a record he too from Nardwuar and named the song Nardwuar Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn i love this man
How he tried to out-wait him in the end, looool - I dunno if I've seen anyone else try to do that.
One of your best interviews by far! This is amazing.
Nardwuar vs Royce da 5'9 or Nardwuar vs Illogic
best ending of all the nardwuar interviews
We need more interview with good rappers like Brothr Ali
4:45 the smoothest muthafuckin transfer you will see
"Brother ali, have you bought your horse?"
Laugh *naayyy*
Ali is such a cool and humble dude
He's so awesome. Mpls ftw!
Did not know that Narduar interviewed my favorite classical rappers. Super dope 🌞
Brother Ali freezing at the end, really makes me happy for some reason
Nardwuar V.S Atmosphere!
Great interview from two great humans.
Legend has it they're both still frozen to this day
Brother ali made a song after this interview for Nardwuar.
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
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.
Humble guy
FINALLY SOMEONE GOT THE FREEZE RIGHT
now thats a real ending lol
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
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 :(
I am excited to vote for Dr. West!
I'm back here for the Prince story
always happy to see another video from you Nardwuar.
What he said about Doom 😊
There's a lil bit of Doom in all of us as long as the music is DOOM🎼🎵🎶
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.
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🎉
Nard's best interview

Brother Ali will give you more then an interview. Hit you with some knowledge
Absolutely incredible that he can remember the lines he and Sage Francis spit back and forth at Scribble Jam
I love that Brother Ali is the one who freezes with him!!!
that Sage Francis story is fucking awesome
One of the best rappers of all time. The guy is a poet.
Brother Ali is one of my favorite rappers
This is one of the best Nardwuar endings!
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
Brother Ali, GOT Nardwuar @ 2:58
I GATCHA!!!
Rhymesayers!
This a real one
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
Wow, during the pose at the end, Ali just seemed to turn into a photograph, kind of terrifying actually.
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! 🙂
Brother Ali is one hell of a sweet dude.
Every hero needs a theme song.
