If you like Aesop Rock or Sage Francis, you should check this guy out. Forest Whitaker, Self Taught, and Ali Boombaye are all really tight tracks. Check It!

are you saying that every single black person out there looks the same? is that what you are trying to use as an argument here?
brother ali is not white. i don't think he is fully black, he's mixed. but i don't think there is much white in him. he keeps his race vague for a reason, because he can.

first of all, i'm not saying that every single black person has the same characteristics, im just saying that the general population have similar characteristics, i do, however, realize that there are exceptions to this, depending on where you originated from, you can have slightly different features. For example, ethiopians had a narrower nose bridge that looks quite similar to the stereotipical european nose.
Second of all, brother ali is white, AND caucasian. I don't know if you listen to his lyrics very carefully,

"I'm like fuck that, y'all don't gettin me on the linoleum
So three white boys can start stompin only one"

another example of this is that he never uses the word "n*****" in any of his raps, now im not saying that all black rappers use that word, but personally i have never heard a rapper where it didn't slip out at least once on their cd, and believe me, i listen to a lot of underground hip hop. He is most deffinately caucasion.

i'm sorry, after reading the one of the articles that you posted, i feel i might be at fault. he says that most of the people on rhymeslayers are a mix of stuff and he also said that he would bet $150 million that we couldn't guess his race. i just decided that he looks somewhat samoan, let me know what you think.

i went to a brother ali show not long ago here in madison, it was so fucking dope, that guy has so much energy when he raps, it's really good. he'd be doin a track for a while then break off on like a 2 minutes acapella, fucking crazy... anyways he signed my hat and i'm wearing it right now
