The Exclusive Ali Vegas Interview - July 30, 2008 By : Jonathan Hay



Ali! Ali! Ali! The crowd chants as if back in the 70’s during an intense Muhammad Ali title fight. But, in this setting, the crowd is chanting for a ferocious rhyme-slayer by the name of Ali Vegas.

Unlike the city of sin, you will find Ali Vegas to be a humble contestant who has fought hard to keep his integrity, spirituality, and positive outlook in this game -- a rarity that is refreshing to find in a world of self-centered, materialistic hip-hop.


On the verge of releasing Generation Gap 2: The Prequel, a concept album merging old school artists and new school artists in the form of teachers and students, Ali Vegas speaks with Dubcnn about his original idea to introduce the past to the future, and vice vegas.

“If yesterday could understand tomorrow or tomorrow could understand the troubles of yesterday, then today would be a better day,” says Ali, adding, “[I wanted to] put the students and the teachers in one classroom.” And with marquee appearances from Rakim, Styles P and AZ, and production from the heavy-hitters such as DJ Premier, L.E.S., Scott Storch, Cool and Dre, this emcee’s future is looking very bright.

Ali! Ali! Ali! Students please find your desks; class is about to begin...it’s the exclusive Ali Vegas Interview, right here on Dubcnn.
