Rucka Rucka Ali is a recording artist and humorist from Detroit, Michigan, United States.

He is affiliated with Serchlite Records, a hip-hop recording label created by former 3rd Bass member MC Serch.

His deadpan parodies of hip-hop and R&B hit singles, consistently using a lyrical vocabulary common to the artists he sends up, easily transcend all three genres to manifest true satire.

His most important work is an uncompromising simultaneous attack on the ignorance still inherent to subcultures which he lampoons, and the failings of American political culture as a whole.

He has been compared most frequently to "Weird Al" Yankovich, but is actually closer in artistic spirit to Randy Newman.

Predictably, people not aware of the ironic elements in his songs have become offended by his merciless employment of racial and cultural sterotypes, but the overwhelmingly positive response to these slurs and jibes shows a healthy growth of the American mass sense of humor.
