The real Houston comedy legend Ali Siddiq in the trap! Catch the squad in New York next live : Syracuse Sept 1: www.ticketmast... Brooklyn Sept Sept 4 : www.ticketmast... #85southshow #alisiddiq
@M Simmons Hmm, its widely know that its not accepted within majority of black circles to be vulnerable for various reasons -maybe you live in a shitty neighborhood and you cant be a swimming with sharks if you look like a fish -idk nor is mental health a priority or taken seriously within the black community for the most part so i just disagree and think that if you or I were saying the same thing and were emotional about it, we would become the butt of a joke.... but yeah honestly coonmics like DC young fly get on my nerves, hes very much so a modern day minstrel... peace
I needed this episode.. point blank🙏🏽 To anybody reading this, keep chipping away, stay prayed up, and stay genuine! 🤞🏽💛 it’s gone happen for you! #itsGambinOway
🤯🤯🤯🤯 I just want to say I appreciated this conversation! Black men speaking powerfully unto each other and just pure FACTS‼️ these conversations must continue to be had!
Everything Ali spoke about hit home. That “money vs the love of people” was IT. Y’all had a world famous rapper on the show , he was there for a short time & left without saying a word. He wasn’t supposed to be there because God didn’t want that energy around y’all . But you get a MAN like Ali and his massage had all of us silent . Listening. Standing STILL. God works in mysterious ways . Y’all keep feeding us with this gold . May we meet in life soon, Lo.
Gotta give y'all yo flowers, This is hands down one of the most important shows/platforms/etc... to come out of the black community in a longtime. I really appreciate what y'all do salute
"The number one thing against us is not racism it's the propoganda." Whaaaaat?? Boy that was the bar of the year, that line alone can spark an hour conversation.
Man this is probably one of the best episodes ever…! You can laugh, cry, go into deep thought, etc… This is what real conversation looks like in a healthy friendship. Everyone be safe and spread love.
MAN.... Ali shedding tears in regards to the status of materialism when it comes to so-called activists was gut wrenching. 85 is my favorite show. It's always real, raw and uncut.
Ali Saddiq is a real one, and he spits nothing but that real ish. If you clicked on this looking for goofy laughs this ain’t the episode for you. He will talk that TALK and still make you laugh. I appreciate how the other guys were quiet and just let him speak
Ali brought it out of DC in this episode. The growth of DC is amazing. Ali is a GREAT 1!! He's so great that Los kept his mouth shut for the most part. 🤣🤣🤣
The thing about DC young fly is he’s SO young minded! I can’t relate to most of what he’s saying but it’s that different generation. For his generation he’s a success but it was different mindset for him getting there. I’m of the opinion that “fake it till you make it” causes the issues of people putting too much into the faking it part. If you focused on making it you should not care about how you look to others. Why? Either one or two things: you should be so busy that folks don’t see you and 2 when they do, you should look like what you are: busy! If you gotta do that fake it till you make it, then you better be UNDER 21 years of age!
I can listen to Ali Siddiq for hours. His story is a very real but very funny and inspiring one. This episode was the perfect blend of knowledge comedy and storytelling. I love when these guys open and tell parts of their lives so we as an audience can understand that as that we're all on our path. It took some time to get where are and we're not all the way there yet but we damn sure ain't where we started
This episode is so amazing! Such a breath of fresh air! Ali Siddiq is a top tier comedian… but more importantly perfect example of a man!Y’all really put on for our people! Keep going 💪🏾🥳
This podcast is for people who need that motivation to do things for themselves. I love this thing about the 85south, they do what they wanna do. Make songs, talk about real stuff, be funny, be inspirational. They really are amazing!
Wow I did not expect such a powerful message from Ali. He’s always deep and thoughtful so I’m not surprised but man this one hit deep. I got 3 kids now and when they get sick, flus, Covid or allergies I’m all tense while they struggle to breathe at night, meanwhile this man watched his one year old struggle just to exist. That’s how you know he about that life and just don’t be talking just to be heard. Powerful message
COME ON KINGS!!! This vulnerability and honesty was beautiful. and calling out into the crowd. We progress when we hold each other and ourselves accountable.
That segment of Ali speaking was the longest time I've ever seen any of these guys not interrupt someone. I was listening while I was cleaning and I forgot those guys were even in here I thought it was just an Ali podcast
Ali just DROPPED SOME HEAVY KNOWLEDGE. He know wtf going on and the silence from EVERYONE IN THE ROOM SHOWS that they know IMPORTANT SHIT IS BEING SAID! RESPECT 🤙🏽
This pod is for the ppl who tried to stay on the phone as long as they could bk in the day to intercept that call from the school that said "your child has missed one or more classes today" 😂
"We have to love each other as hard as they made us hate each other". WOW. So powerful. Everything you said was a fact. You even changed my perspective on things. Siddiq thank you for sharing your wisdom and thoughts with the world. We need this! Thank you so much brother. Love to all my brothers out there!
They always listen. They give people the space to explain their perspectives, even if they don't agree with it and every time a guest gets to dropping jewels; they stop and give them their space. As a young man trying to learn the art of conversation, this is SUPER important to watch. 3 men with enough wisdom to contribute to the conversation, just stopped and allowed that black man the opportunity to speak his heart. Thank ya'll for showing us how it's done.
Honestly that was one helluva special Ali put on RU-vid the storyline was incredibly well done and closed by tying it all up into a nice neat bow. Very impressive. Game changer
There is always moves being made in the background that equal smart business! By putting the special out on RU-vid he can now show how many people are in his core audience from views and take advantage of monetization from the watch hours and engagement of the viewers. He can use the analytics to leverage his future deals since he now has factual DATA to show how many are tuning in to support Ali Siddiq as a brand since there were no openers or additional names to boost to attract an audience. It would be great get him under the 85 South media umbrella and keep adding to his brand! He is in a great position!!!!
“You’re knowledge is where your wealth is”.. This episode definitely hit deep, especially when Siddiq got in his bag.. And like real men, they sat back and listened💪🏿✊🏿💪🏿.. True 85%ers GET THE APP!! 85/yr man you can’t go wrong, don’t have to worry about paying for a whole 12 months.. I came on RU-vid just to give these Kings they flowers on here too..
The tears Ali cried were tears from the Soul. Not many have the Heart & Soul to be that true, that real, and that raw with the conversation/message. 🎓🎓🎓
Mane this junt hit home 🔥🔥 them setbacks and the hidden hiccups don’t get accounted for! Dc came clutch tho wit his spill 💪🏾💪🏾 discipline faith keep going
Oh, he going to say something even if it's a whole bunch of nothing. Sometimes it's okay to just listen instead of trying to prove what you think you know.
This is the episode I’ve been waitin on since before Fabo and all them.. if y’all only knew.. thank y’all for lifting up my spirits when I really need it.. y’all probably have saved millions of lives and don’t even know it.. 🤝🏿
I really needed this today. I follow 85 South from Italy. I'm from NC. I just wanted to say thank you to the crew and cast for this episode. Inspirational! Thank you for being vessels to speak into me... even one year later. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💜 Blessings, prosperity and protection.
Ali Saddiq is speaking truth I am from South Africa and in our community we have the same problems. I can relate so much too what Ali is saying. Big fan of your work and 85 South.
omg... I've never seen 85 so tuned in to what a guest is saying. Lous will argue with ANYBODY & DC gon make sure he's heard - don't matter who he gotta cut off. But everybody was tapped in to some real sht being spoken. That's respect. I LOVE THIS SHOW!! 🥰🥰
The amount of gems dropped in this one REQUIRES multiple viewings. One of the best podcast episodes. We value the comedy but the knowledge dropped around the jokes is valuable beyond measure. Salute brothers.
Ayo, Ali was talking that realness on this one! I know he woke a few people up fr, we need more convos like this about how we can band together and uplift our communities.
Another great ep! Ali is a gem. I love when y’all give the OGS their flowers. Only constructive criticism is to be mindful of over talking your guests, especially Karlous lol.
The amount of knowledge that was given was priceless. The quietness amongst the room exemplifies the depth of the conversation and respect that they have for Ali. I will forever carry these gems 💎 in my tool box of life. # Gratitude 🙏🏾 🤲🏾🤞🏾❤️🤞🏾
I know I've been asking for a long time for you guys to bring Devin the Dude on the show. So can you guys please make that happen? 🙏🏾🙏🏾 I don't know if he has to be promoting something for him to want to come on, but I would just love to hear his story. I love Devin the Dude, and I love the style in which he raps. I would most definitely enjoy, and be very grateful if you guys in particular would interview him. 💙💙 That's all 🤷🏾♀️ Much love to all of you!! 🤞🏾💯🤞🏾 Ooh and what I would love most if you guys could bring on Devin the Dude, Big Boi, Sleepy Brown, and Three Stacks (if that's possible)!! That would be the dopest interview ever. I mean epic super epic!!
I love the comedy of these kings but the knowledge of the conversation...my God the power!! Walking into my new journey had to revisit this conversation❤❤❤❤❤❤
First off Ali is one of my favorite comics the min The Domino Effect drop I was right there waiting, instant classic and hands down one of THE BEST comedy specials of the year and 85 South is one of my favorite podcast!! So when I saw the title I flipped and my god as Lous said ALI WAS IN HIS BAG this episode THAT MOMENT froze the entire trap, like DC, mannnn I had to hold back tears. Ali's passion for his message rings out not only in that moment but throughout his entire body of work which I highly suggest you listen too. Shootout the entire crew on the transition from that moment back into conversation absolutely seamlessly as well, shows the years of work but into the craft. Absolutely one of my favorite episodes I really hope this one wins and award for The Christmas Trap Awards Show 🔥🔥
I love how it got super real and deep and they were still able to jump back into some goofy shit and relieved some of the weight of the conversation another great episode fasho
Ali is one of the best to come around. I’m going see him in Philly and can not wait. I have watched everything he has done n been on since my husband introduced me to him. One of The best things besides our kids he could have done 😂 😂😂. I’m excited to see him live and in person.
This is an amazing episode! What makes it so crazy is, I just watched Ali Siddiq's first episode a week ago and I've been watching his content since. He's not only funny, he really cares about people.
BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST PODCAST 85 South EPISODE ‼️ I’m glad you guys didn’t interrupt him when he was really speaking facts and started to cry. Drink champs would of been interjected
