During the Columbus stop of the Fresh Air Tour, HigherPlaneTV caught up with Brother Ali to talk about Islamic principles and fullfilling one’s destiny in life. Then after the jump Ali speaks on handling adversity, self-improvement, relationships as partnerships and discovering what works in life and introspection in hip hop.

Fuck Islam, they done killed more black icons than the white man
to each his own, but I notice alot of rappers turn to islam. why is that?
@ Yessir, and you’re talking out the side of your mouth based on what facts? Would you say Christianity or any other Western religion has done any better regarding Black Icons? Get The Freak Outta Here with your cheap hot gas. Try talk some sense sometimes.
just because christianity or any other western religion hasnt done any better doesnt mean islam didnt do what he said..
not that what he said is true, i don tknow. but youre reasoning doesnt make it untrue
Probably because you pay attention to a lot of rappers, and especially to the ones that turn to Islam.
What we see depends mainly on what we look for.
Fuck Islam, they done killed more black icons than the white man
im not a muslim but youre still an idiot for that one.
islam hasnt killed anyone, people have killed others for pronouncing their faith.
ignorance has killed several black icons, islam has killed zero
Actually to the contrary ISLAM HAS KILLED. People who think their religion teaches them to kill and act on it is considered a murder based upon a belief, that belief is conjured from conceptions of versus or teachings from Mohammed and the Quaron which is from Islam.
So yes Islam has killed alot of people as many religions, however, contrary to most religions as of recent Islam has been the most violent, evil. and malicious. There are good muslims but unfrotunately the religion has and always has been tainted stemming from a prophet who lived the blasphemous life of adultery.
y’all are ignorant as fuck go do sum research and then talk….go check out all the muslim rappers and see what they talk about and what type of shit they’re into..its all positive, theres no hatred thats being supported…..@ unxpekted, there cant be good musims if the religion itself isnt good, thats a dumbass fuckin comment…so FUCK y’all ignorant bitches hatin on religions that you aren’t knowledgeable about
oh.
no disrespect to NOLAI$504(uptown) hahaha for real tho
watch your mouth homie
islam killed malcolm x
@Unxpekted
Really now? Man, people need to start doing the research. A lot of the crap you hear about doesn’t come from Islam. Islam is the excuse. It’s even written there’s no such thing as an infidel.
“Now if a Muslim woman strapped with a bomb on a bus, with the seconds running give you the jitters?
Just imagine an American-based Christian organization planning to poison water supplies to bring the second-coming quicker.”
@ really now, fuck yeah man. Busted out the LUPE quote!!!
Good interview.
lmao @ these arguments over religion.
that shit is pretty old now.
religion does nothing but divide, pretty evident.
For someone to say that religion causes people to die is pretty stupid, especially when the true reason is someone interpretation of what their holy book says. Those “Evil” acts that you believe come from Islam are actually the Extremists who take on some role they believe they have. Some of ya should watch what you say, honestly.
Islam does not not kill people. The extreme Muslims kill people in the name of Islam after they manipulate what the Qu’ran is actually saying. Islam is a religion of peace. Islam just gets a bad rep because of the extremists.
We need to be open to peoples backgrounds ad upbringing. If we stop looking at how we differ instead of how we r similar we may b able to progress
Ali’s been self-improving since he admitted to lying about being black.
Co-Sign @allah
really doe…
The presentation of my comment was ignorant I can admit, but the truth that lies beneath it is none other than that..truth. The nation of islam (the black muslims) in America are responsible for the deaths of many icons, not because of their religion but because the heads most likely came together and orchestrated these murders. It could all be here-say but I doubt it…..Malcolm X, Tupac, Biggie (shooter described to be wearing a bow-tie and was dressed like someone from the nation of Islam)…another interesting fact (although nothing to do with islam….maybe) is that MLK street in Atlanta starts in the Confederate Graveyard (check Bobby Hemmitt on youtube for more info on that one)
@ yessir…again, do sum research before u talk, nation of islam is different from islam, look up the differences
nation of islam is not true islam, anyone who knows anything about islam can tell u that. in fact, the reason n.o.i. killed malcom x is because he embraced true islam and rejected the noi’s racist ideology
& to everybody downing islam saying we’re a “religion of violence” think before you speak. historically, christianity has been the most violent religion, just look at the inquisition, the crusades, & the wars between the protestants and catholics in ireland. hitler & vlad the impaler were both christians.
