Rucka Rucka Ali (Music)

"Black people are great at stealing stereos
They've got Jewish lawyers in court
Muslims are the best at flying into stuff
(Not all Muslims, just most, and all it takes is most)
Africans like lynching homosexuals
Cubans turn dildoes into boats
Germans kidnap girls and make them prostitutes
Everyone's special in their own gay little way"

Rucka Rucka Ali (born January 27, 1987, real name unknown) is an Israeli-American singer-songwriter & radio personality (in)famous for his dark, offensive parodies of famous pop songs in which he pokes fun at ethnic, racial and religious stereotypes.

Rucka's music has led to recurring controversy, as well as YouTube taking several of his songs down on the alleged grounds of hate speech (such as "Ching Chang Chong", his parody of "Boom Boom Pow"), to which they're often re-uploaded by Rucka's fans (known as "Nuckas").

Although his official site can easily be found here, he seems to have no single consistent YouTube page, since the video removal has gotten to account suspension levels, which has also made searching the site for his name a much easier way to find any of his songs/videos.

Compare Jon Lajoie, arguably his Canadian equivalent, and "Weird Al" Yankovic who pre-dates Ali and also makes parodies of pop music. Not to be confused with RackaRacka.

Discography:


Rucka Rucka Ali provides examples of:

"Herro I come from China and then I heard Justin's song and so I'm going back to China!"
  • Self-Deprecation: Some of his songs tend to make fun of Jews. In real life, Rucka Rucka Ali was born into an Orthodox Jewish family from Israel.
  • Stealth Insult: At the end of "Al Quaedirection" (Die Young), Zayn says that he is now in paradise with Uncle Osama and 72 Directioners. He just used "Directioners" in place of the word "virgins".
  • Stock Footage: Rucka's music videos consists of stock images taken from the internet along with other stock footage from documentaries, movies and amateur videos.
  • Stop Being Stereotypical: The main premise of "What Does The Black Say (What Does The Fox Say).
  • Straw Feminist "Fat Violent Dykes"
    "There's some crazy lesbians!"
    "Full of AIDs and PMS!"
    "Bigger than hot air balloons!"
    "Trying to tell me what to do!"
  • Stylistic Suck: Most of the videos for his songs are slideshows of images that have to do with the lyrics. That's not even getting into the lyrics themselves...]
  • Take That!: Oh, so many. Examples include Fuck Kanye [Run This Town] (against Kanye West), Justin's Beaver, its sequel [Magic], and Justin's Beaver The Movie [S&M] (Justin Bieber), and Pligganease [Umbrella] (Chris Brown), Al Qaedirection [Die Young] and Zayn Did 9/11 [Come & Get It] (One Direction, specifically Zayn Malik), All About That Rape (Popsicles) [All About That Bass] (Bill Cosby and his sex scandals) but the list keeps going...
    • Michael Jackson has Celebs Kill Yourself [Beautiful Nightmare] dedicated to himself, but is worth noting separately because Rucka routinely insults him in other songs, even if the insult usually amounts to a single line.
    • Baby Baby Baby Oil [Baby] deserves special mention, due to P. Diddy's allegations in 2024, such as his domestic abuse against Cassie (albeit mostly shown in the Stylistic Suck version during the FBI scene, especially the "is on the way." part), his drugging of other people, the death of Biggie Smalls, large stash of baby oil, 17 year old "white party victims", and pedophile behavior, especially towards Justin Bieber, the last of which was even shown in the animated version where Diddy puts his hand over Justin's butt during the lyric "I've done some rapey things.".
  • Teeny Weenie: "I Have a Little Cock" is a cheerfully upbeat song about having a comically undersized penis. It's actually quite catchy.
    I have a little cock
    a cock, a cock
    I have a little cock
    Have a little cock, little cock
    It's just a real small
    Micro wee, little cock
    a cock, a cock
    My itty bitty little cock
    Is just the right girth
    To pick a double bolted lock
    My itty bitty little cock
    Is just the right length
    To stick in a new baby sock
  • Toilet Humor: "Crapping" is an upbeat sounding song about...well, it should be obvious from the title.
  • Token Black Friend: Rucka has mentioned that "he knows him a black guy", and that "[YouTube] just mad 'cause [he has] more black friends". "I Know a Black Guy" ("Miss Independent") is all about this.
  • Unusual Euphemism: He will occasionally use "ninja" in the place of "nigga" on account of the fact that he's white. In some songs, mostly but not exclusively from DJ Not Nice, he intentionally uses this for puns about actual ninjas.
  • Villain Song: Numerous songs sung by such figures as Adolf Hitler, Osama Bin Laden and Kim Jong Un count.
  • Women Drivers: Briefly used in "Fat Violent Dykes."
    "Why do bitches think they smart?"
    "They can't even drive a car!"
    "Ever seen one try to park?"
