I was about 15 and had never heard of him until then but I've been a fan since. 9 years later I followed his advice and got a degree in musical engineering. Thank you Ali.

Keep in mind, the Americans here are mostly WW2 immigrants. We were the generation responsible for allowing Iraq to happen… because we were blinded as our parents were by nationalism. But we were not responsible for the slave trade nor the Native American brutality. Second generation Norwegian. Dutch-Germany. They fled the persecution of the Nazi party of Germany.

[@chicklets4ever51]

@@BurdenofTheMighty The song is about far more than the slave trade and the genocide of the indigenous population. It points to the fact that that very legacy is what informs the present-day imperialism. I am a very first generation American, and I left the country over twenty years ago for similar reasons that your grandparents fled the Nazis. I was vehemently against the Iraq war, the principal reason I left, along with my sense of the growing crypto-fascism of American governance after the Bush-Cheney coup of 2000, the substructure of which has remained in power to this day, regardless of which clown occupies the White House. Indeed the disease has spread to Europe, where I now live.

Brother Ali was interviewed for the book series, *HOW TO RAP* and *HOW TO RAP2*, and shared his rapping techniques. Here he talks about writing political songs. "Even my political songs and stuff, they’re all personal-I’m not doing them to raise awareness. If that does happen, then that’s cool, that’s great, but I’m not making these songs with the idea that I’m gonna change the world with these songs- I’m gonna express myself with these songs."

Brother Ali is the man. Listen to Picket Fence. Then check out Bambu, I saw him open for Ali a few years back.

@@FrogToadBug Yoooooo, good morning! K, I checked those out! Brother Ali, in my opinion is a Guru; you can feel it in his words alone. Then I saw a newer video and Holy Crap, is is LITERALLY a Guru! I am finally where he is in life now, and I wouldn't go back to my old life for the world 😊 Now, Bambu. I didn't know which song to select, but I clicked on Welcome To The Party. Oh My Gosh! I honestly have no words. WooooW. K maybe one word! LoL Thank You Sir 😊😊😊

UnitedStatians do not realize, do not know that the USA, Inc. is a veritable Police State---most funded policing Statehood---as there is absolutely no nation/no Statehood as this here low-consciousness planet that has SO SO many levels or layers of policing [which requires TAX money; being one of the salient we are taxed so much with MINIMAL social-net services in RETURN]. THERE IS NO OTHER nation on this planet that has/that can AFFORD: a village police, then a city police then a county/parish police [our beloved sheriffs (of Nottingham)], then State police, then State militia, then US Marshals, then the FBI [.......& Domestic depts. of the truly Machiavellian agencies-- CIA, NSA, etc.], and then the US MILITARY. ["Governance is nothing more than legalized MAFIA. When will you peasants realize? In your vote your civil serpent becomes your master. In this hypocrisy of a democracy, when was the last time you were asked to give input on the cameras and rules that Control you? When was the last time you were asked to give input on the cameras and rules that Enslave you? When was the last time you were asked to give input on the cameras and rules that Tax you?"]

@@anilprasad4185 please get this part right next time. USA inc. is incorrect. U.S.A.(The usa... The United States of America) is a country. UNITED STATES is a corporation that governs the willing. If one claims to be UNITED STATES citizen on any LEGAL document , then one has essentially contracted consent to be governed by Maritime Admiralty Law which is the set of laws that govern commerce, or UNITED STATES
