Not sure if any of those links still work and I'm too tired to check them now, but I'll re-up in the morning if need be. I'm bumping the thread because he's put out a bunch of great shit lately.

His Obama track

Mr. President You're The Man

was probably the best I've heard of them all because of the way it acknowledged that it was great but we all still had to be on our shit.

He put that song

The Truth

out with Freeway where he was great with a nice verse from Freeway on an awesome beat.

Also:

Begin Here:

Begin Here

Good Lord Made Me:

Good Lord Made Me

He also recently appeared on a mixtape on a song with Wale and spit a great verse. The mixtape can be streamed or downloaded here.

My favorite of them all is probably Good Lord Made Me or that verse from the song with Wale. I heard him spit part of it a couple times back from the last time I saw him and have been waiting impatiently to hear it again. Verse is below because I feel it bears repeating.

Quote:

Rappers can’t clap me
Jackers can’t gat me
Original meaning of jazzy fat nasty
I don’t bite rapper’s lines, I bite the captain’s arm off
I don’t throw shots in the air, I throw that molatov
Cocktail, reservoir dog my collar off
Ya’ll scared to get that revolution popping off
You really got the guns you claiming the track
Then my question to you is who you aiming ‘em at
You complain that the rap police caught you with a gat under the seat
Misdemeanored that twenty bag of weed
But little old me with the few facts that I speak
The homeland security gaveled me over seas
Froze my bank account and seized my guarantee
And ya’ll are soundscanning like a hundred more than me
They kicking you off tour for freaking a chick or two
Verizon dissed me too cuz I was too political
Ya’ll are all safe and shit, ya’ll are not saying shit
You just snap your fingers and dance and make your label rich
Gotta pay back that advance, so they aint gave you shit
This is your chance to say something and you’re wasting it
People are starving, you talking bout balling
Can’t think of nothing more important than that jargon
Hundred different ways to describe diamonds sparkling
Eighty percent of kids are listening to ya’ll shit
I heard that statistic I almost cried
Never wanted so bad for 2pac to be alive
What the fuck happened to rap when
The gangsters are scared of upsetting they industry masters
It aint my place to say and I hear all that
But fuck that, I live in the hood and we need ya’ll cats
So as soon as I hear ya’ll on some real pro black
Then I will gladly go back to my emo rap
They say the truth don’t belong to nobody, if you see it just speak it
It would be a sin to keep it a secret
So if I need to breathe then believe that I mean it
Quit trying to be somebody’s boss and be a leader
If it wasn’t bad enough your labels are hoeing you
You can’t even scan, your fans are downloading you
There’s no connection, so they’re not supporting you
You aint never shed light on nothing that they’re going through
We aint buying cds, we striving to live
And these artists don’t need me they already rich
I aint hating on you, rock them shines
Just remember us from time to time when you drop them lines
Rappers can’t clap me
Jackers can’t gat me
Original meaning of jazzy fat nasty
Busy raising babies and living on tour
Signing off Brother Ali, sincerely yours
