Talk:Rucka Rucka Ali

Straight Outta West B
Anyone else think we should add a page for the first album? Refresh100 (talk) 16:11, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
 * No because that album isn't noteable while his second one is.  STATic  message me!  18:42, 5 March 2011 (UTC)


 * What do you mean by Straight Outta West B isn't notable? They probably just can't find enough sources for a page, it doesn't mean it's not notable.  Tom  USA   21:05, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

I'm working on a Straight Outta West B page right now. -- --MsHolden (talk) 14:16, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

What
Woah woah woah, so when I ask to create a good article on Rucka, the admins say NO. Now someone else made one that is minuscule to what I had planned? Please explain to me why Wikipedia is bs'ing me. Arilegolego (talk) 00:29, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
 * You could have created it in your userspace and asked to move it when it was good but you didn't.  STATic  message me!  00:44, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Should we make pages for the songs?
Or at least include note of what they are and what they are parodies of? Daviddwd (talk) 16:47, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Not unless they are formally released. Mtking (talk) 00:45, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure 'Ching Chang Chong', 'Ima Korean' and 'Don't be a Playa Haiti' were Daviddwd (talk) 03:28, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * pretty sure does not hack it, everything added needs to be verifiable. Mtking (talk) 03:47, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

WP:BLP
Please remember that WP:BLP applies here, any accusations have to be supported, the BBC ref given does not even name this person. Mtking (talk) 00:45, 25 June 2011 (UTC)

Name
There has to be a way to find out what his real name is. I was editing the page and it said something about his name being Chad Bell Longaberger. What is this, and is it his real name?  TomUSA   My talk page   23:47, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

- Apparently, it's Ali Rucka, someone posted a long time ago about his uncle and his surname was Rucka, however unverifiable, unfortunately. --KaraokeMac (talk) 09:16, 25 March 2018 (UTC)

His real name is Tully Laz. Ppw0 (talk) 01:49, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

Indian-American?
What? How do we know this? He looks white. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.235.184.134 (talk) 11:17, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

I removed it since it was unsourced, I guess he could be Anglo-Indian though. According to Rucka's World "Ali has been rumored to be many different races and ethnicities, including White, Chinese, Mexican, Jewish-Israeli, Arab-Muslim, Black, and Russian." but it doesn't give any specifics. I've seen him referred to as Israeli/Palestinian by a few sites here and there, but it's all just speculation until he comes out and says it himself.--P.4.P.

Biography

Depending on how politically correct you are, Rucka Rucka Ali is either a riot, a sharp and talented rap satirist, or he's a bigot that exemplifies the worst impulses of the Internet era. His viral hits include "Ching Chang Chong" (a parody of Black Eyed Peas' "Boom Boom Pow" replete with Asian stereotypes) and "Justin's Beaver" (where he parodies B.o.B.'s "Magic" while calling Justin Bieber a "f*gg*t"). Rucka Rucka Ali has claimed that his songs merely fall in line with other no-holds-barred comedians like Dave Chappelle and Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane. In 2009, he launched his own label, Pinegrove Records. © 2011 Rhapsody International

Racist as an Occupation?
"Occupations 	Rapper, satirist, parodist, singer-songwriter, musician, comedian, racist" Is racist really a valid occupation? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.61.199.130 (talk) 19:31, 21 July 2012 (UTC)

Zayn Did 9/11
Should the article mention the controversies around the song Zayn Did 9/11? 149.254.58.97 (talk) 21:51, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Rucka's Birthdate?
I see no reliable sources stating that Rucka was born on January 20, 1987, but according to last.fm he was born on January 27, 1987. Obviously that's just a minor change that needs to be made but the more accurate the better right?--MsHolden (talk) 14:20, 15 October 2013 (UTC)

Um
If you type in Bing 'Rucka Rucka Ali' and if you go down a bit you can see that his parents are Eminem which is Not True. 68.50.116.194 (talk) 15:59, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
