    i don’t think people understand how incredible it is to tell essentially one continuous story over 4 different specials. Domino Effect 1-4 will go down (in my opinion) as the greatest series of specials of all time. Ali’s the GOAT!!!!!

    This is not a comedy special. This is civil discourse beyond the TedX variety. This is community storytelling in the Griot tradition. This is life lessons and the history of a community through the life of a man.

      Bcuz Dave Chappell put his specials on Netflix but he did a deal where he still get residuals from anytime someone views it no matter what platform they seen it on

Ali thank you for being our tour guide but more importantly, thank you for reminding ME that when you treat people with respect it has the tendency to work out for you.

      I appreciate the sentiment of people "getting at Netflix" about missing out on #AliSiddiq. However, if Katt Williams has taught us nothing else about these "modern day" streaming platforms, especially as it relates to (black) comedians, it is the mathematics of how Netflix works. Also, if I recall correctly... "Netflix don't call nobody." 🤭 I for one don't want Brotha Siddiq to go back on anybody's plantation, that includes the likes of said streaming service, in my opinion. The world has to catch up to greatness and it will with Ali Siddiq. 😉

    DE 1 gave me a reason to smile after the loss of my mother.
    DE 2 encouraged me to be strong in the face of grief.
    DE3 was the highlight of my Mother’s Day !!!

    A 2-hour special. Ain't nobody else doin this! Ain't no filler, ain't no fluff, all the real Ali Siddiq we know and love! MAN I loved this! And it was 95% new content. Only thing I remembered from before was the bodybuilding contest with Brown and Wynn. You really are a breath of fresh air in an industry of people doin the same shit. You have a unique story that these other comedians couldn't tell if they paid someone to write for them. Your authenticity puts you WAY above the rest. There are other great comedians for sure, but your style ain't like no others.

    Mr Ali Siddiq when I found your comedy on RUclips I was in the midst of deep grief having just lost my mama. then it's been a tough two years back-to-back losses as a matter of fact less than 1 year. you are an uproariously funny man telling about your life and the people that have impacted your life.
    Today I find myself in a tough place and I want to be having to listen to you as well as my gospel music as well as my sermons by my favorite preachers.
    You seriously deserve a Mark Twain award I met you backstage at the United theater I had to tell you you was wrong for that last time how you did Quincy I thank God for you man you are an inspiration for many many people these days for whatever reason they got caught up in the jail prison industrial complex and there are people in The Villa of color and they need help. You have helped people out of dark places of depression.
    Thank you sir.

Them other people who live in fear of losing power and perceived superiority can only keep power by making us see each other as enemies. I love Mexican people, all of them. I recently moved from California to Arkansas and I'm sad that y'all barely live here, but I understand. This is a hatefilled red state. I don't belong but I can't move again in this life.

    As crazy as it may seem, your past experiences was God grooming you for greatness. Those experiences were for you to share, teach, inform, and inspire others. This was already predestined for you. Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery, Today is a gift, that's why they call it The Present. Thank you Ali for sharing your gift with us.

    I've watched the series back to back, and I can honestly say that as a body of work, this can be expanded to live on a different platform... your storytelling is beyond exceptional I believe with a good writing team and a great director you can create something like the EDDIE MURPHY MOVIE named "LIFE", but unlike the movie yours could be a series that explores the choices of a black man and the potential outcome you have to face being a black man in the system....
    You have all the elements already locked in. The lessons have all the emotional aspects keyed in
    ... you can even just call it DOMINIOS (like the game black males love playing, which always ends up in a fight)

    Netflix slept on Ali because this is comedy greatness! The way this man tells stories and jokes, no question Ali is now one of the GOATS! Give this man his flowers and put the check on top! 😎

      Ali said he didn't go the Netflix route because he wants to own his own material...a legacy for his children. Very wise. It's not that they slept on him, he just wasn't interested in courting them. Ali is my favorite comedian. Blessed to have seen him live once in Dania Beach, FL and have a pic to cherish. 😊

    I stumbled upon Ali Saddiq in 2018/19 when his special on Comedy Central, "Bigger Than These Bars", and I was immediately swept away by his level of storytelling, also because I had a similar experience as a young man growing up on the West Side of Chicago in the '80s & '90s. I was somewhat disappointed when Katt Williams tried to play Ali as if he were a lesser man. If Katt Williams didn't know Ali, he should pay attention to this master class! Ali Siddiq's comedy blends long-form compelling narratives, sharp observations, and meaningful commentary. His delivery is authentically witty. His ability to connect with his audience through personal stories and social insights makes his comedy entertaining and thought-provoking.

    I can't tell you how many times I've watched or listened to this since it aired, but I just want to comment since I haven't seen anyone else talk about it; the changing backdrop as you progress through your story is very powerful even if you aren't paying attention to it. Thank you for this wonderful work of art and your ability to transform your life story into something so profound.
