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".

Brother Ali got me back into hip hop.
@ZXTrucker7 жыл бұрын
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.

Terry Turner then they threw him a Nirvana beat, they tried to stump him for sure but failed. He's got a flow for everything, every beat literally sounded like a different rapper each time. Big bad brother Ali!!! Props

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.
@Daryl90ify7 жыл бұрын
That true talent when you can flip a DJ, I'm a DJ and to have some beat your beat it's impressive to see. The fact he did it with no ice on tells a lot about a artist. I dig it

+Black D He's a white albino. If you listen to his music he actually talks about the death of his former self "Jason". His given name is Jason Newman. I've known him since the 5th grade. Great guy and definitely a discriminated outcast from day 1. He's had skill and flow ever since the day he and I were exposed to KRSOne back in the day.
