Soundset 2016: Brother Ali Challenges Hip Hop Critics + the Importance of Actionable Love

- A member of the Rhymesayers and helping hand in creating a great environment for hip hop fans on the Soundset stage, Brother Ali joined Tracy G for a few minutes.
Given the climate of hip hop following the fatal Troy Ave incident and the response from the NYPD commissioner trying to put a negative spin on things, he stands on the positive stories they conveniently skip over being told currently by Kendrick and Chance the Rapper. When you have the media impressing ideas of hip hop = bad, of course that is what the masses will believe. In a very similar fashion, blacks were only portrayed as slaves or inferior for a very long time due to the stories being told and who was telling them. That is one of the best things about festivals like Soundset, the artist has a chance to directly connect with fans and give them those stories firsthand.
As the 2016 election draws near, we had to get his input on Donald Trump and he summed him up pretty well “he’s a mouthpiece for the worst of what America is”. His stance on the opposite sides representatives in Hilary and Bernie were much more mild but with each comes their own set of issues.
No way Brother Ali could end with anything negative as he shouts out Sway and the platform provided to continuously push the culture forward in a positive manner, making sure the right stories get told and ensures we always put the best foot forward. That’s hip hop.

why aren't these radiostations talking about the afrikaa bambaata situation?
7:05 I heard that "The People" beat. Kanye outdid himself on that. Brother Ali is very well spoken and notably can realize multiple perspectives to stories. Brilliant interview.
We are already saved through Jesus Christ!

Well fucking said
Hip Hop needs to lead the way in the fight to stop Prejudiced,stop all this fighting amongst our own people,its Whites Blacks,Latinos all skin tones,those are our people,were the many,were the strong,were the Military,the brave. We need to stop letting the media fool us into thinking were enimies,we are not,were all Americans and the ONLY way we'll get change is if we come together.
Reading these comments, I'm shocked that people don't know what an albino is. Anyways, great interview.
Brother Ali, with all respect, one of the reasons women are treated with disrespect is Islam brother. For real.
That's ambiguos. Am I lying? I'm definitely not saying Brother Ali is lying.
I was thinking about honour killings, or maybe it's ok to beat your wife "lightly", or draping them in a bag, or not allowing them to ride a bicycle, or drive a car. Are woman allowed in Mosques? Maybe in some places. Please don't pretend Abrahamic religion is not Patriarchal. I got mad respect for Brother Ali, and I'm hoping he could address that inborn religious disrespect for the sisters more.
Really? Honor killings are religiously based? You're asking "Are women allowed in Mosques"? It's obvious you haven't done the slightest bit of research. If you feel so passionate about these things so much that you took the time to make a comment about it, you should take the time to do some research.
Perfect looking woman.
im
What about Jill Stein for President?
I here Brother Ali say plurals like "we" "them" "Us" and "they", No one seems to say anything, I remember in a interview he said he considers himself apart of the black culture.
He's Albino.
+probhgolf. He's still Caucasian...
+Tyre Clarke no he's not. His children would be black if they do not receive the dominant albino gene
+davoiceguy the fuck are you taking about, His parents are white, Google that shit!
+Tyre Clarke He's also stated that when growing up white people made fun of him because he was albino and he felt more comfortable around black people, so let him identify as he wishes. He's a great mc nonetheless.
is he albino?
George R.R Martin?
Get the fuck out of here.
It's true though.
What's the name for a reverse Uncle Tom?
You
