***** Unfortunately I had a really bad experience with him in Long Island NY where he was trying to pick up some chicks HARCORE and wasn't having no fans. I was so disappointed. But honestly I know he is a great guy and have since forgiven him. Can't blame a dude for getting his game on lol
SoloVerse True,Hes usually pretty relaxed but youre right it just takes one off color comment and hes done with that shit.If they vibed together it would be amazing though
He's probably scared to do Slug, despite his shift in demeanor as of recent years. If you watch some videos of Slug during his young, emaciated emcee years he seems very mysterious / possessed.
hey this is awesome! I love Brother Ali! He is about to release a new album and I am stoked! Where is Atmosphere's interview though? Slug and Ant need to have a Nardwuar interview!
Xaviert Jiménez Word, that was my intro to his music, and I fell in love with that album, man, but he’s still legit pretty underground, right? I’m dumb af when it comes to hip-hop knowledge (and picky af), so I may be wrong, but I thought it was under the mainstream radar, no? I know it was huge amongst most hip hop heads, at least all my friends who are big hip hop heads, but I don’t know if it was so big that people would be checking out this several year old vid. Seems like with these older vids, and a lot Nard’s vids, in general, that to get the BIG view/like numbers, you gotta be mainstream, or like legendary.. But hey, he got over 1k likes now, still I agree with the sentiment that he should have more, and more accolades, in general! ✌️❤️🏴♾
@@nikolademitri731 that album was my intro to his music as well. As far as I know he's still pretty underground. But I like it. You can see he does music just because he loves what he does so he puts all his effort to make good and enjoyable music not just because is his job now. I recommend you to listed MF doom, madlib or Freddie Gibbs. Just in case you have not give them a chance. Also I hope you are safe and healthy wherever you are right now. Peace ✌️
I'm watching this video after taking the "Mourning in America and Dreaming in Color" record out of my storage, autographed with my named misspelled lmaooo, in tears. One of my favorite favorites, I've met him countless times and he's an Earth angel. I haven't listened to him in a long time, I missed him. wow
This is the first time I think I've ever seen//felt narduar or brother Ali rest in the company of a kindred spirit. Surprising! Weird and delightful. Somehow the plot thickens.
too amazing you're the absolute best nardwuar Canadian journalism is some of the best in my opinion but you are the absolute tops thanks for being you and bringing the people interviews with amazing people like brother Ali and so so so much more truly inspiring homie
NARDWUAR you got Brother Ali,Sage Francis But not Atmosphere(Slug&Ant)+Grieves+P.O.S And More on Rhymesayers ENT & Not complaining I would just like to see some more(Independent Label Names that have been doing good Consistently,Just a thought not Complaining..Love from Delaware
I gave Brother Ali Dap for 10 mins straight while we talked about deep as shit back on the Immortal Technique & Ali Tour. Btw his Prince impersonation was perfect.lol
I’m a little bummed at the lack of props to Eyedea especially when he said everyone there cept him n sage couldn’t rap? Tf? How u gonna say that eyedea and slug are two of the greatest yo ever exist .brother Ali is awesome but that wasn’t rly cool bruh :(
Love Brother Ali, seen him in El Paso, TX... I've always thought (if I was famous enough to be interviewed by Nardwuar) that I would hold the pose as long as possible! 🙂
what was the Break the Grip of Shame record for? one of my favorite conscious hip hop songs of all time. had the lyrics typed up and pinned to my bedroom wall in high school
Yessss Brother Ali! A very nice and respectful man. Met him last year at a show. Great performer. Also Seen him at my first concert ( Paid Dues 2012 ❤️ )
With narduar knowing all this music history applying to each individual he interviews I wonder how much of the music he actually likes? Or is he just doing research to stump the interviewee. Does narduar listen to mf doom and mos def and brother Ali? And all these artists he interviews and the ones that inspired them?
8:24 what a great quote. "Terrorism is the war of the poor, and war is the terrorism of the rich."
This guy is do incredibly respectful to Nardwuar, it's amazing
hes respectful to everyone. i met him after a gig, humble guy.
***** Unfortunately I had a really bad experience with him in Long Island NY where he was trying to pick up some chicks HARCORE and wasn't having no fans. I was so disappointed. But honestly I know he is a great guy and have since forgiven him. Can't blame a dude for getting his game on lol
Minnesota Nice
Ofcourse he wasn't having fans when he was picking up girls lol
Dude, when he said "haha, got ya" after telling nard about a guy in his video. He's enjoying it so much
I will say Brother Ali is the most underrated lyrical genius in the game. Seriously just listen to freestyles and ANY song
Politically maybe, but lyrically nah, trumped by Billy Woods!
I am a big ali fan but ya... you right. Lyrically he good but its not genius or anything. But he a mean rapper for sure
I mean I would say both Brother Ali and Aesop Rock are
Man yall dont understand this dude is the man in Mpls he cool with everyone he fights for the city and its people so much. much love
MPLS MN STAND UP
I do understand. Brother Ali is a legend here. He is the kindest soul. So mo... chill he's a great man and a lot of us care.
The fact that it ended before Ali broke pose makes me think that Nardwuar broke first. I wanna see it.
watch the end of the Lil b interview, HILARIOUS haha
Brother Ali dope lyricist and down to Earth dude.
Dope music awesome Cool good Listen wow powerful best lyricist ever real hip-hop raw
Brother Ali is one of my idols in hip hop.
too me cool so skills dope rap
I don't think he'd like being referred to as an idol. 😄
I feel you friend
Brother Ali actually made a song based on this interview. It's called "Nardwuar", check it out!
Nardwuar vs. Aesop Rock
Dude, fer real.... nardwuar, do that shit, pleez
I'd love that!
Aes never tours or plays festivals so i doubt it'll ever happen though that would be great.
Hnnngg
Can't, AR is a original dark blue death grips like type, which is respectable.
Nardwuar vs. Joe Budden would be awkward as fuck, it'd be perfect.
+SoloVerse YESSS.Joey would play along with the gimmicks better than most guests have.He works well with that shit
+brandon payne depends on his mood. He might start copping an attitude and just not have it with Nardwuar's hijinks. It would be fascinating though.
SoloVerse True,Hes usually pretty relaxed but youre right it just takes one off color comment and hes done with that shit.If they vibed together it would be amazing though
brandon payne
Very true, I just hope if they do meet they click well.
What a genuinely nice guy Brother Ali is!
nardwuar vs atmosphere
please this
He's probably scared to do Slug, despite his shift in demeanor as of recent years. If you watch some videos of Slug during his young, emaciated emcee years he seems very mysterious / possessed.
Drew- As a 10+ year Atmosphere fan, that's probably correct. I'd still like to see him, or Aesop...
Please, please, please
good Cool Awesome hip-hop music rap league please please
"My dear friend eyedea, god bless him" made my body get the chills
We need an Atmosphere interview too
R.EYE.P.
Eyedeas never die
R. EYE. P
hey this is awesome! I love Brother Ali! He is about to release a new album and I am stoked! Where is Atmosphere's interview though? Slug and Ant need to have a Nardwuar interview!
The last Brother Alli album it's fire one of the best albums of 2019. I'm shocked this video does not even have 1k of likes

binge watching your vids, they're great man.
Nardwaur vs Immortal Technique
Very few come close to Brother Ali's skill level on the mic
Eyedea is a legend.
I knew Ali was gonna show love, and that's why I love this guy.
Eyedea was 🐐

This is the best interview. Br. Ai is naturally chill.....like it's in his dna
Brother Ali actually made a song with a record he too from Nardwuar and named the song Nardwuar Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn i love this man
Classic interview. Team Nardwuar, interview this brother again... he has an INCREDIBLY dope new project out that is being slept on heavily imo.
real dude. Love me some Brother Ali. Big up Ali!
One of your best interviews by far! This is amazing.
3:48 "not playing doing a fight"
I love him. God literally speaks through him.
Nardwuar V.S Atmosphere!
Great interview from two great humans.
He will never do Atmosphere because it's impossible to know anything about Slug's past.
Good luck.
Drew Schaetz if anyone can do it....
Dope music good Listen wow poet history Good and brother Ali Dope poetry lyrical era both hip-hop real raw
Bullshit. Kathy Averill knows everything about Slug.
too amazing you're the absolute best nardwuar Canadian journalism is some of the best in my opinion but you are the absolute tops thanks for being you and bringing the people interviews with amazing people like brother Ali and so so so much more truly inspiring homie
best ending of all the nardwuar interviews
"Brother ali, have you bought your horse?"
Laugh *naayyy*
This is one of the best Nardwuar endings!
How he tried to out-wait him in the end, looool - I dunno if I've seen anyone else try to do that.
NARDWUAR you got Brother Ali,Sage Francis But not Atmosphere(Slug&Ant)+Grieves+P.O.S And More on Rhymesayers ENT & Not complaining I would just like to see some more(Independent Label Names that have been doing good Consistently,Just a thought not Complaining..Love from Delaware

Legend has it they're both still frozen to this day

I gave Brother Ali Dap for 10 mins straight while we talked about deep as shit back on the Immortal Technique & Ali Tour. Btw his Prince impersonation was perfect.lol
FINALLY SOMEONE GOT THE FREEZE RIGHT
I am excited to vote for Dr. West!
Brother Ali will give you more then an interview. Hit you with some knowledge
Nardwuar vs. Swans

When I got to the end I was cheering on that final pose! Haha so many people get weirded out, Brother Ali handled it like the champ he is🎉
Humble guy
I love that Brother Ali is the one who freezes with him!!!
I'm back here for the Prince story
Man!!! 2014!!! late but im still happy to have witnessed this. Brother Ali is one of the most inspirational people i know (would like to know)lol
I'm just smiling 😃 😊 🙂 😀 😄 😁 😃 😊
Absolutely incredible that he can remember the lines he and Sage Francis spit back and forth at Scribble Jam
I’m a little bummed at the lack of props to Eyedea especially when he said everyone there cept him n sage couldn’t rap? Tf? How u gonna say that eyedea and slug are two of the greatest yo ever exist .brother Ali is awesome but that wasn’t rly cool bruh :(
Love this
that Sage Francis story is fucking awesome
Nard's best interview
Brother Ali went to my high school.
Radacach oh shit Central represent
What he said about Doom 😊
There's a lil bit of Doom in all of us as long as the music is DOOM🎼🎵🎶
Nardwaur "have you bought a horse yet?"
AB: laughs * neighs* like a horse
Brother Ali is one of my favorite rappers
This a real one
WHERE THE FUCK IS THE CASHMERE CAT INTERVIEW!?
Brother Ali, GOT Nardwuar @ 2:58
I GATCHA!!!
I LOVE ALI HES MY HERO
Lmao the prince thing was spot on lmaoooo
Legend says they are still standing at that spot in the same pose to this day.
Love Brother Ali, seen him in El Paso, TX... I've always thought (if I was famous enough to be interviewed by Nardwuar) that I would hold the pose as long as possible! 🙂
I need to know who backed down first at the end freeze frame!
This one doesn't require too much crushing.
Every hero needs a theme song.
Right on.
what was the Break the Grip of Shame record for? one of my favorite conscious hip hop songs of all time. had the lyrics typed up and pinned to my bedroom wall in high school
I love brother ali
Brother Ali is faith in humanity
Seanwuar is just so much better.
Nardwuar Vs. NOMEANSNO
BROTHER ALI!!!
lol at the end... Brother Ali is a great guy.
NardAli!
good Cool Awesome skills hip-hop real raw man Good deep vibes fow
Did Nard literally say the dudes name then immediately after in the same sentence ask him what his name was? -_-
Ali Under Fuckin rated!!!
Brother ali is the man
Nardwuar vs. Pharaohe Monch
this shit hes giving them must be worth some good money lol
Nardwuar vs run the jewels or langhorn slim
Truskater28 hes done killer mike and el-p separately
Nardwuar vs. Slug and Ant (Atmosphere) Please!!!!
Yessss Brother Ali! A very nice and respectful man. Met him last year at a show. Great performer. Also Seen him at my first concert ( Paid Dues 2012 ❤️ )
Hey nardwuar you ever come talk to DJ aerodynamics better bring a f****** Nirvana CD record matter of fact you inspired me to start rapping
Brother Ali are you African American
The documentary he speaks of @1:50- Baadasssss! (2003)
"How to Get the Man's Foot Outta Your Ass" - saw that joint on TV a few years back.
If Sage Francis was the best rapper there then the bar was set low, in my opinion, I prefer Ali myself.
With narduar knowing all this music history applying to each individual he interviews I wonder how much of the music he actually likes? Or is he just doing research to stump the interviewee. Does narduar listen to mf doom and mos def and brother Ali? And all these artists he interviews and the ones that inspired them?
I thought he was blind lol
legally blind, he can still see a bit
I'm legally blind I'm writing to you. Some can see but blurred or hazy. Mine is blurred as fuck. His is probably the same
