​@@thewirah1 I think it's nice if you view it more as a path to virtue than believing there's a man in the sky peeking at you when you shower. The man on the afternoon TV wants us to think all muslims are bad, but anyone who has been to the middle east knows they're some of the most amazing people the world has to offer. Despite being as far away from monotheism as you get it, I can understand why people are drawn to it for more than just the common image of a "God".

@@tylerhughlett5659 FACT! I'd never forget Slug and Ant, I'd also never forget God rest his soul Eyedea, who may have been the freestyle rapper to ever walk the face of the planet Earth. Till now when I have a bad day Eyedea's song "Smile" always snaps me back to the mental state where I need to be! You've got radio rap but the real talent is underground! I'll challenge anyone who says different because imo it's not even up for contention. Hell radio rappers don't even right their own lyrics, if they're lucky they get to pick their own beats, but none of them these days create them, they simply record label yes men who signed off the power to creatively make their own music, if they ever had that talent in the first place!

Ali was born with albinism, a disorder characterized by the complete or partial absence of pigment in the skin, hair and eyes. Though Brother Ali is white, he has often described a childhood marked by cruelty and exclusion by his white classmates as a result of his physical abnormality. He has often explained that, from an early age, he felt "most at home amongst African Americans".

This has and will always be the truth of hip hop, to elevate others. This man is a king.

This is best 5 Fingers of Death to date, they threw five COMPLETELY different beats, much more difficult than all the others episodes and Brother Ali adapted to them in a crazy way. As if it that wasn’t enough he actually had some great bars and not some stupid fillers like those rappers that say “nigga” every 3 words when they go off the top. This is crazy, Ali is so slept on.

Someone stupid would probably try to cancel him for appropriation! Lol. They'dbe all on Twitter talking about he can't use a black power fist as a white dude they be talking all kinds of s*** about him dropping names about famous black people in the storical black people that he ain't got no business speaking on yeah it'd be something like that it be ridiculous the man empowered an entire people that he didn't even belong to that he just wanted to you know promote and uplift and yet I guarantee you today in 2020 they would try to cancel brother Ali for cultural appropriation. Sad.

That was dope. Brother Ali killed it. They should bring back this format of The Five Fingers. Tempo changes and varying genres definitely test an artists versatility to adapt way more than 5 beats at practically the same BPM, as it's down now. Doing so would probly reduce the amount of challengers, but those that do will come prepared and truly earn the mantle if they succeed.

Yeah I was about to say I've seen him live a few times with Atmosphere. I remember when i first listened to Shadows on The Sun start to finish back then and was like whaaat who is this cat? Super consistent. Champion is a dope album too. Plus he was a super nice guy to talk to. He is albino he has no pigment to his skin. He isn't white.
