Controversial parody artist Rucka Rucka Ali released a new song today titled “I Love Minorities” a parody of Katy Perry’s “California Gurls”. The song deals with racial stereotypes, current events and Ali’s ongoing trouble with YouTube. The video was launched on Ali’s new YouTube channel, http://www.youtube.com/IAmRucka . Ali also released a video announcing the new channel on an older account. For those of you who don’t know, Rucka Rucka Ali is one of the most successful artists to get a start on YouTube, with iTunes Comedy Chart domination in multiple countries. What makes Ali truly unique is the fact that he has been banned from YouTube multiple times, only to come back with more music, gaining more and more fans each time. Recently, Rucka Rucka Ali exploded onto the iTunes Comedy charts, at the time of writing he has 6 out of the top 10 songs in the US, including the top 4, and has similar success in countries around the world. Amazingly, this has all been accomplished without any mainstream promotion, aside from announcements that Ali himself puts out through YouTube, RuckasWorld.com, Facebook and Twitter. All this success has spawned a group of rabid fans that call themselves the “Rucka’s Nuckas”, who are very active on RuckasWorld and other social networking sites. As Ali’s videos get deleted by YouTube regularly, the Nuckas have taken it upon themselves to re-upload his videos, generally within hours of the official release. A search for Rucka Rucka Ali on YouTube generally turns up hundreds of copies of his videos. While this process makes real statistics hard to gather, it is estimated that Rucka Rucka Ali has gotten over 100 million views on YouTube alone. When commenting on what he thought of his success he responded, “It's remarkable how much success I've had without spending a penny on marketing. Also remarkable is the media's refusal to comment (even negatively) on my success. But my fans, the Rucka's Nuckas, have recognized my work as both unique and worthy of their support, which could be why I'm currently selling more singles on iTunes than Weird Al Yankovic, The Lonely Island, and every single comedian on YouTube”. What’s next for Rucka Rucka Ali? His sophomore album , “I’m Black, You’re White, & These are Clearly Parodies”, is due to be released later this year. In the meantime, the Rucka’s Nuckas can expect more of the same hilarity they have come to know and love. Despite what YouTube says, it is apparent that Rucka Rucka Ali has no intention of stopping anytime soon. added by: DJ_Pussyfarts
