Brother Ali is a great artist. Makes a positive contribution to Hip Hop.
Is Brother Ali one of the game's biggest cultural appropriators flying under the radar?

Disclaimer: Homie is a well, well above average spitter... knowledgeable guy... and Shadows on the Sun is arguably a classic that is a personal favorite.
If you haven't listened to at least the Shadows album, then do yourself favor and do so...
However....
*Homie put Brother in his name
*Raps about the "ancestors"
*talks about the raising of the black fist
*references many historical black phrases, people, places and things
*uses intonations in his delivery that sound "stereotypically black"
...all while being a white albino.
Has he gotten a pass and/or does he continue to get a pass based on his views he's articulated on and off the mic? ...has he earned an honorary pass like teena marie, michael macdonald and them?
Just for fun....
...his producer Ant is a beast , too... should be getting more mainstream placements.
Speak on it Coli....
He gets a pass because nobody gives a fukk about his music.
Alot of clowns on thecoli get passes for being faggits because no one gives a fukk about them.

I wondered how much of a role that played in to things...
@Dark Gable
I know he's vocal about injustices in public forums... he's also giving back to the community too?
Who knows. Hes broke so how much can he give back to pay for a pass from people that dont even know he exists
Brother Ali is a great MC
It is strange tho I never knew if he was white or black albino
He's in a strange spot that way, who cares I always supposed, he makes great music

I was thinking Ali was a Blackman to the core. He definitely had me fooled with that one. Not sure if this will change my appreciation for his music. Im definitely a fan
