    Thanks Don for having Ali Siddiq on your show. Ali is the only Comedian other than Richard Pryor whose gifted story telling is so extraordinary that I see movie scenes play out during your Comedy routines. Would love to see your play.

      He didn't say that he made a mistake or anything like that. This is your mistake. He has made the best out of whatever situation he was put in by God. Even before he was in prison and decided to become a comedian. He was a child in the ghetto and broke. He was a very ambitious person who looked after normal people. He walked In to footlocker at the age of 17 told the staff to shut the store with everyone inside and then offered to buy everyone whatever they want and did. He spent around 40,000 dollars that particular time

      @@shaidkhan5557I don’t agree with you. He starts out his first mistake was not going back to his mom once he was with his father. He never shies away from the turns that he made durning his life that lead him to where he is now. Though it is true that he was being raised in poverty and it affected him but he was realistic. Just as his last drop was going to be his last drop because he was still grieving his sister’s death and knew there was a better life. He knows there were wrongs and knows that not everyone path was clean… but he doesn’t make excuses. I have seen these man in person twice and he’s very honest.

      @gcchair7634 👦 🕴guy . You have an opinion that you have no idea about . How do you know that his mum wanted to bring up a boy in the ghetto on her own? If you have watched 👀 his performances, you will know what type of ghetto he was from and what sort of family he was from. His uncles were known men who had reputations selling drugs was the norm . Carrying a gun without a licence was normal 👌 😏 💯 at his dad's house. His mum was a typical Muslim black lady .who lived a squeaky, clean life for the world to 👀 see. Really, she knew exactly what they done to make money and just took the money and kept herself and the kids in good nik. She gave Ali to his dad so he could get trained up for life . She knew her son was a hustler but didn't expect him to be a superstar comedian.

    Hello Don. Ali Siddiq has won a new fan from the Dick Gregory generation. Ali makes sense. One to point out, we live in a world where we rather hear salacious facts than actual facts. (not an exact quote, but representative of what he said.) How true is that? People just won’t listen at what they don’t want to hear. Keep on telling your stories young man. You get your point across.

    Preach, Ali🙌🏼. That orderly & neat game has always been my ideal. Convincingly other was relatively easy. When it wasn’t, I worked hard to move to a community where pride of place did matter. Shout out those speaking to youth Before they’re considered at-risk kids. The streets won’t raise ur kids in a useful way-that’s hands-on parent stuff. Stop having them if u don’t have time to put the work in.
