Brother Ali & Alexander O’Neal: MPLS LUV the Old/New School Way…

No doubt about it, I am an admirer and supporter of Minneapolis’ home grown talent, Brother Ali. That’s why I’m tickled beige to find his new video, “Take Me Home” over at the DC based (soon to be world wide) SOULBOUNCE.COM.
It’s a great video if you ask me. Once again, Ali makes it clear that he is ‘everyday people’ and far removed from the ballerific stereotypes you find on the radio and in alot of other videos. I also dig the vid because I recognize everyone in the backdrop (shouts to the cast!) as well as the various locations it was filmed — one of them being a Minneapple classic, the Band Box Diner.
A little bit of 612 Trivia: The Box Band Diner was also featured in way back in the diz-ay on Alexander O’Neal and Cherrelles 80’s hit video, “Innocent”. 20 years later, it’s still a ‘cut’ in my book. Good music done the Midwestern way. Gimme some MORE!
