Two of the most influential people in music (for me anyway) and this might be the first time I've heard them talk properly. Love the time we live in ❤
Another great conversation like only you can have with your guests. Loving each one. Keep ‘‘em coming Ali. ❤
Much appreciated
I’m 17 years old. I’ve been going through a lot lately in this world. I’m confused and Ik my priorities aren’t right. I’m leaning on to god like I have b4. But this time. I feel heartbroken. I’ve never wanted to live like he’s right next to me. I’ve never read a book by myself. I love to write though. Im starting a new journey. And brother Ali thank you for you’re words of encouragement to clear my mind of what I should do with the loved ones that I’ve hurt. Even my mom. Thank you Ali!
Sending you love my friend. 17 was a super pivotal year for me too. Its still with me in a lot of ways.
@@BrotherAli_Travelers I’m trying to reconnect with my family. I’ve been pushing them away and I can’t do it no more. I immediately ordered heavy by keyse laymon.
Yo Ali I just came across the travelers podcast and I’m from Philly so of course started with Paz but to have RA, Technique, and all the others I haven’t listened to yet, it’s amazing. Especially for peeps such as myself that got to grow up in the 90’s during the best time in underground hip hop imo. I’ve really enjoyed listening to these conversations with some of the most talented artists in hip hop including yourself. Keep on keeping on. 🎧🎤🎶
Really means a lot man. Enjoy and feel free to share.
So glad i found this. To intelligent individuals i look up to.
I am so touched to know that despite you doing the most important work, caring for your family especially when they're under the weather, you find the time to join the podcast and reflect on things it must be hard to concentrate on. Bless, hope everyone is well by now!
I really appreciate that. I grateful that my life is so full of meaningful affairs. May we honor each one as it should be.
Dope dope dope ass interview! RA is a close friend of mine, but I never get tired of hearing him speak on how he got to where he is now. Thank you Brother Ali for this!
Yo what’s up Ali, congrats on another dope episode. Like all of your previous guests, R.A. definitely deserves all props given, he’s a HipHop legend. On another note, if there’s any way you can combine two of my favorite podcasts, yours & Super Duty Tough Work with Blueprint & Illogic, that would be insanely dope. I imagine that conversation would have us all laughing & learning the entire time. Peace
Hay, Brother Ali, Had no idea to let you know because no shit... But years ago my parents saw you at a show, the Grouch stole Christmas... They got an autograph from you and told you that they're kid (me) was sad they didn't get to go because it was not an all ages venue. As they tell it, you laughed as you gave your autograph and told them to tell me you were going to be doing live shows for years to come, and that I need not worry. Well, I've seen you live twice now, most recently when you came to my home town of Bellingham. I know it's dumb, but I wanted to say thank you for all the years and dedication you've put in. I know you probably love it, but that doesn't mean it's not work. So thank you
So much respect to the both of you. I hope to learn to be as truthful and open in my lyrics and life as you two someday. Happy New Year, Brother Ali 🙏
Made my morning with this one brother, yet another great guest to have on. Your quickly building an incredible catalogue of conversation for everyone to enjoy and learn from. Just wanted to tell you that every episode is hugely appreciated 💪🏽 For me personally, You, RA, vinnie and Tech are my 4 biggest inspirations in and out of the realm of music and the fact that I get to hear you all converse gives me something to look to in my time of need. Thank you Ali ❤️
It really means a lot to me man. Thank you so much.
There's a short snippet within the music video for 'The Dangerous Three' which is quite candid compared to the rest of the video - you can tell that you had fun during its recording. As always, great conversation.
Yeah, we really had a lot of fun doing that. Thanks for listening!
@@BrotherAli_Travelerslmao I always loved the fact that you're just holding a cinder block in the video😂😂
Such a dope podcast. Thank you!
Thanks for rockin with us
Yo this podcast is dope. I cant believe I didn't know about it until I saw RA share it on fb. I used to bump a bunch of your tracks.
This was a great listen. Thanks for doing this
It’s a labor of love. Feel free to share.
Great interview is there video to your pod? I def don’t mind audio for the car but when I’m chillin in the cut on CZcams video the way to go salute 🫡 Ali this the first ep I peeped of your show def gonsn listen to more
Great interview........ how about Brother Ali vs The Wu.....
Pretty interesting to hear r.a. name dropping savas, samy and sido even sxtn in an interview with brother Ali. Great podcast, really enjoyed listening to it
Glad you enjoyed it.
I would just like to thank you Brother for your beautiful spirit and content. So pleased you got RA on and the Chuck D recently was fantastic. I can tell how much respect you have for peers. You are truly blessed as are we to have you.
I’m sorry but I have to disagree with you at 1:42.00. You are so acknowledged and respected in Europe.....
Thanks for your kind words and for rockin with us!
Just watched the RA the rugged man episode on Tim Pool’s Timcast. Would love you see you go on Tim’s show and debate him!
There's a death metal band that I like whose singer cites R.A. and Tech N9ne as his influences. Funny place to see his name pop up.
Make sense to me!
@@BrotherAli_Travelers Wow, didn't expect a reaction from the brother himself on this 8 month old video.
Anyway, if R.A. is ever looking for some more grit on any of his songs he could try to get in touch with Archspire, their singer/rapper is amazing.
I think R.A. would love their videos as well, lots of practical gore effects in them.
Yo what beats did el p do for artifacts ? I never knew that
@58:02 Did he say "Rex Ingram"?
👑👑
Its wack we cant see anything
Hey RA I just wanted to say the you really truly “are that guy”.
That guy who made bitch ass fascist Tim Pool shit his pants. Legendary
@@SupermanChampionOfTheOppressed Tim literally didn’t bat an eye everyone was cool until ra the rugged emo baby threw a tantrum now he will never get on any big podcast lol
@@ETAisNOW Cool story bro. I watched it a few times. Tim Pool was shook, I rewound it multiple times and we were laughing at the look in his eyes. He's so slow he didnt even catch on to the slang RA was using with "that guy" even tho it was contextually obvious what he meant. Anyways You're late for your ceremonial fellatio performance on Ronald Reagan's corpse and the chief of police at The Apollo, and if there's time i heard you're gonna do Mussolini and Hitler's corpses. Then later you can go home and rage in Tim Pool's comments when he vaguely questions Kanye's nazi propaganda.
@@SupermanChampionOfTheOppressed tldr idc
@@SupermanChampionOfTheOppressed are gonna cryyyyyy like ra?
Shame there's no video of RA smacking another microphone. 🤣
"I'M NOT THAT GUY "
I remember going to an RA show when he slapped my friend in the front of the stage show for no reason or perhaps because RA was intoxicated. Thus we tried to snatch him off stage to stomp him. He realized this was happening and never came more than 5 feet from the front of the stage.
I'm glad you kinda grew up RA. Quit slapping 15 year old kids.
You, a 15 y/o tried to "snatch him off stage and stomp him".
lol
@@iWillProbablyDieOnTwoWheels If you're out numbered a group of kids can still fuck you up, but yeah no more violence XD
"For no reason" Doubt.
This is fake as shit I'm on intro butt it doesn't mention why he was blacklisted
clarification required
They talked about it in depth. wtf you talking about.
@@SupermanChampionOfTheOppressed haven’t finished this one yet & just glanced over that comment outta context nvm
