Brother Ali - Shine On feat. Nikki Jean (Official Video)

[@MsSteph187]

i'm from Switzerland and I think Nikki Jean should be more famous...she's amazing

[@NeverEndingHeavensM]

Can’t believe this dropped 10 years ago and it’s still bangin like it just came hot off the press 👌🏽

[@Kevinbrown6969]

before this video came out i used to listen to this song and the words would paint this exact video in my head, when i first saw it it was like i had seen it before. thats how you know the storytelling is on point

[@RickeyTaylorBeats]

+Kevin Brown hell yea, storytellin is the best rap

[@beatflyy]

That happened to me with Hunger games. I read the book and then when I saw the movie it was almost just like I pictured it.

[@jeffw9465]

true

[@QueenCraftsChannel]

This STILL hard af in 2020!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Whose here with me?

[@NajeeAdderley]

I just remembered I love dis from a long time ago

[@SkyKlinic]

Haven't heard Storytelling as smooth as this in Hip Hop since Mos Def Official did Ms Fat. Booty!!

[@victoriaappiagei1482]

Dope music awesome Cool good Listen wow poet

[@TheColdHeartedSoul]

True story bro.

[@MART0Ss]

Ms fat booty one of my fav storytells

[@randyd.3429]

Don’t forget about Chi town owns “Common” formerly known as "Common Sense", please don’t sleep on him, he been doing the same thing as “Brother Ali” since the early 90’s..💯

[@rhondasilver3582]

CLASSIC..

[@BeyondtheObjective]

Rhymesayers have the strongest label right now! Brother Ali, Atmosphere, Grieves, The late Eyedea, MF Doom, P.O.S and so much solid artists!

[@_Jake.From.Statefarm_]

uhh... Aesop Rock. LOL

[@ProjectHard]

This is most likely the most chilling, touching and lovely rap song ever. And we all love our Brother. Big ups from Denmark, love this music :)

[@jojacksondelacruz4017]

"Damn it feels good to see people up on it" much love to Nikki Jean & that lovely beautiful voice of hers...Brother Ali sure as hell is much obliged for that as well

[@makeyourownbiscuits]

10 years later and this is still just as dope as it was when it first dropped. I wish this had millions of views. I hate the short life span on music there needs to be a way to bring records like this back to life.

[@SlaeJay]

Lol they always come back

[@FerdiaMooney]

How can anyone be consistently this good?! Unbelievable

[@ceascarr9851]

As a hip hop artist I am in awe at the depth of brother Ali and his material thank you for bringing class back to our craft we SALUTE you.....PEACE And LIGHT To YOU AND YOURS.....

[@jblunt554]

Criminally underrated views. This is brilliant. Brother Ali is a top tier mc

[@GoodxJ]

Thank you Ali for making all this beautiful music. Brother Ali is the greatest rapper of all time. TRUTH.

[@sikelturko]

Brothe Ali = one of the most underrated mc's from the USA. Good rap with no need of naked girls, gold rings or pimped cars... JUST WORDS

[@Daluris]

Yes! A masterful command of language, with a yarn spun by one of the realest storytellers alive. What a beautiful notion on seizing beautiful opportunities, living in the moment whilst staying true to oneself, and savoring life!

[@learntwostruggle]

I am Muslim and a member of the black community and I agree with you. That is point of his message: No one race, religious or ethnic group has a monopoly on joy, pain, self-consciousness, idiocy, or genius. We believe we come from the same Creator and therefore are related.

[@jinz132497]

I'm gonna start calling Brother Ali Midas because everything he touches turns to gold

[@127chefster]

Brother Ali never ceases to amaze me. The man has got more talent in his little finger than most of the artists putting out that bullshit main stream rap together. I hope to continue to see work coming from Brother Ali and from Rhymesayers as a whole.

[@TheJaspa85]

The way Ali ended the music video was smooth. All he wanted was to make her day!!!.

[@jdog5002]

who else just cant stop listening to this track? just so nice on the eardrums! cant tell a story much better than this

[@SkyHigh5280]

Brother Ali is a great example of why I love rap.

[@SpAsianRawr]

Not only is Brother Ali a gifted lyricist, but he's also a great actor. Is Rhymesayers lucky to have Brother Ali or is Brother Ali lucky to have Rhymesayers?? Pftt, It goes both ways. But most importantly, WE the people are BLESSED to have y'all.

[@Rimdoggg74]

One Of The Greatest Ever!!! You Go Brother Ali!!! Midwest White Folks said this

[@RealSaneTV]

Brother Ali puts it down like all ways.. He just wanted to prove he could get her without needing to go further with great visuals in his lyrics.

[@foreverstanding1]

I read a interview about this song. He said that the reason at the end he says, " Thats All I Really Wanted ..... Im Through" what he means is that sometimes we just need appreciate things without having to get anything out of it. Just Observe, acknowledge and appreciate. Pretty Complex Lyrics Tho.

[@FIREFLY071]

My friend just turned me on to Brother Ali and I was like, "Where in the hell have I been?!". Obviously, talent and poetic skills for days. Love the classy, grown-folks touch. Definitely will fill my car with these sounds rollin' across the bridges to Spanish Harlem and Brooklyn. Crazy NY days, Brother Ali- rhymes the stresses away. LIKE!

[@conebrzycki7230]

Brooo ali bad ass. Study the law of We The People, my strength "brother" Ali

[@JamesTMx]

Just discovered Brother Ali today, but I have to say he might be one of the top Hip Hop artists I listen to from now on.

[@Fiiiyuh]

This was SUCH a cute story. Def memorable 🥰

[@MrKing8050]

there is no doubt about it this guy is one of the best story tellers in hiphop

[@MrJohnson911]

This should a lot more views then it actually has... not just for the song but for video! This is the type of hip-hop that should be played on radio.

[@joelvarela7335]

So underrated.

[@MrBobtherapper]

he's such a humble man, i mean he makes me want to write about better things. he is amazing and since they dont want to talk about that i went ahead and directed my comments right at you cuz. rhymesayers in general is the shit atmosphere, pos ect them cats are dope as shit....

[@dhh72386]

Man! Brother Ali is possibly one of the best story tellers in hiphop. Also one of my favorites haha! Hip hop ain't your home, and if it is you f*ckin up the crib son! Oh and hiphop ain't dead, it's buried in the undergroud.

[@madddogg612]

Every time I listen to Brother Ali I get closer to God.

[@drcphd]

Brother Ali ... Still dope after 8 years of listening.

[@threepennyg]

The flow here..."But when I saw you I sort of knew I had to talk to you // And nothing in my arsenal seemed possible //So I called an audible, Serve you? I'm honored to// I didn't mean to bother you, // I just want to watch a few Moments of your life much like a fly on a wall would do" Hot diggidy Jam - Ali is just too much.

[@bigarj2]

Brother Ali is an emcee! Nuff said. Respect.

[@rsgthelarge1]

Brother Ali is a genius...every album, every song, every concept, every bar is outstanding. Amazingly deep artist!

[@Godfadr]

Brother Ali having writer's block? Releasing this EP in February and a full album in March like a boss...

[@sexysniper232]

Ant, Jake and Ali reeeally know how to whip up a dope jam without missing a thang, flawless production imo...

[@D4C0WG035M00]

Greatest Rapper Alive... Brother Ali... Legend

[@Bighhead]

[@ANG1940]

I cant stop listening to this! Been on repeat all week! Brother Ali and the whole Rhymesayers crew are the best! Underground > Mainstream

[@violaguy2]

Essence of hiphop; art of storytelling, rhyme scheme, word play, flow, lyrics...etc. I hear a voice out of the masses...I learned something. Thanks for posting this

[@MCM_Savage]

Respect! 💯🔥🔥👊🎭

[@mileyvx2100]

Rhymesayers forever... what a jam.

[@SpAsianRawr]

The first time i heard this i honestly kept it on replay for like 20 times in a row. The beat is smooth and Ali is so damn clever, therefore a hip hop baby was instantly created, and people will forever talk about this baby :)

[@liannasantos9324]

[@DWeezy906]

Brother Ali , Give this guy respect. Great song , I enjoyed it.

[@wa666r]

God Damn, this man is amazign! he accepts himself for his self, i mean his an albino with a lazy eye that could be really tough, but this guy is just so secure and happy with himself and loves himself just the way he is. All this self confidence made me really respect this guy, and getting my respect is not that easy i've been told.

[@gravityjunkie47]

Brother Ali knocks another one out of the park! Great song and vid. Peace!

[@taniahelenanzucule3485]

[@Trippp1994]

Scince ive found Rhymesayers a few years ago i havent found many songs i listen to multiple times in a row, due to the fact theirs so many other great songs and artist, but this is a true piece of art, above the rest, great work.

[@belencorrea9962]

For the people that are ready to recognize and appreciate beauty and love ♥️

[@mongezimasuku317]

[@BigTerri9128]

[@joeycrow]

[@BongDylan]

What a poet. Can't wait for his new drop.

[@BeatzByHeart]

Brother Ali never disappoints. Been a fan for years. This couldn't have come at a better time. So refreshing. Track is smooth as butter.

[@brolmez]

Dam, free art that hits, and all some fools do is hate. Brother Ali keep smoking these clowns, your music rips. Appreciate those that are real.

[@idealreelz]

I've listened to this track like a 100 time already soooo dope. I've been waking up with this track in my thoughts. I love the evolution of the style. This song gives me a wonderful content feeling. The entire disc is just brilliant. And it's free wow!!! Can't wait for PAID DUES this year!!!

[@FLoWThAGreAt]

[@rhymesayers]

[@mattchibi]

Respect to Brother Ali and the rest of Rhymesayers, appreciate the movement!

[@brollan1234]

Brother Ali is such a ridiculously beautiful character. I sometimes laugh in envy of his fundamentally beautiful nature. Big up, brother!

[@fookausername]

i am soo glad i found this guy cause i had completely given up on hip hop! this is 1 of many examples of what true hip-hop talent is!

[@ShinbrigTV]

Rhymesayers, u have all the good rappers

[@dannycapone24]

[@boto8309]

This type of story telling reminds me of Murs and atmosphere. Love it.
