Chi Ali is Jeff from De La Soul?
I just read this. Did everyone else know this? I also read he isn't really Dres from Blacksheep's brother. All these years I thought he was. Is that true?
Re: Chi Ali is Jeff from De La Soul?
Dude, they don't sound even remotely alike
Re: Chi Ali is Jeff from De La Soul?

Re: Chi Ali is Jeff from De La Soul?
i saw it in some random article. Then I checked wiki (not the best) and saw it just now in the comments on youtube.Jaz wrote:? it has been known for a long time that Just Jeff from "Mack Daddy On The Left" etc is Chi Ali...unless this was sarcasm aleph?aleph wrote:Dude, they don't sound even remotely alike

I can't find any info on if it's absolutely true. That's crazy if it is. I had no clue.
Is he really Dres brother or no?

No, Jeff and Chi-Ali are not the same person. I assume you are a fan of De La, so if you watch their Buddy video, you will actually see Jeff & Chi-Ali standing beside each other dancing in the same shot. They are easy to spot because they are the only little boys in the video. Chi-Ali is the taller one.

I don't know 100% but it has always sounded just like Chi to me and would make perfect sense.bbatson1 wrote:i saw it in some random article.

Re: Chi Ali is Jeff from De La Soul?
What can I say? No sarcasm here, this is one of those internet misinformation things that refuses to die, imo. I think the proof is in the voices but until Chi or De La or the real Jeff come out and debunk, I'm up against the cybermajority.
I correct myself tho: they do sound REMOTELY alike. They sound like pre-adolescents.

Re: Chi Ali is Jeff from De La Soul?
Idk if Chi is Jeff or not but he most certainly is NOT related to Dres from Black Sheep... However they do strike a resemblance to each other, in the same way Redman and K Solo do... Both Chi and Dres have said in interviews that they are not blood relatives... True though, kinda funny how 2 decades later people are still having the same conversation about those 2...
Re: Chi Ali is Jeff from De La Soul?
lol. okay I guess it's 0 for 2 for Chi. He's not Jeff and He's not Dres brother.
Someone needs to fix some wiki's.

Chi-Ali is not Jeff.
As someone pointed out about, Jeff is the kid in the Buddy video standing beside Chi.
Jeff is on the AOI: Bionix album
Yes, that's him.
Waited for some proof before posting

There you have it.
But yeah, those wiki's and discogs need to be updated.

Here's a crazy dope Dres interview posted a while back: http://www.philaflava.com/forum/viewtop ... 2&t=127854Slick Vicious wrote:Idk if Chi is Jeff or not but he most certainly is NOT related to Dres from Black Sheep...

Re: Chi Ali is Jeff from De La Soul?
he is, he just made a real dope track with Maffew Ragazino and Livin' Proof... skip the first 15 secods because the intro is absolute trash, but once the track kicks in at least i think it's a banger:MC Homeless wrote:Chi Ali is out of prison. Why isn't he rapping?
