They stopped fukking with him because of his drinking, not making it to meetings with the label, events, etc teamed up with getting locked up. This was after they pulled strings and put up that feature money for Dr Dre + Mack 10 + that big budget video with all the cameos.


fine but if you have no plans for him just release him. Don't keep him stuck on the label unable to release music and prevent other projects he's tryna work on from coming out when he got a family to feed.

Ras Kass killed his own career by dropping a sophomore weedplate with jiggy leanings coming off a debut album that for some reason didn't connect like it was supposed to. I personally thought Soul On Ice was fire, beats and all, right out the gate but his superfans from his 12" days used to throw shade at it.

Rassasination was just borderline awful save a few joints. If memory serves the DWI happened after that and then those two next weedplates that never got properly released (because they're garbage save the Preemo heat and the ALC joint that Jada completely renegaded him on) just compounded the clusterfukk that was his career at that point.

But he seems to be in a decent space creatively now. The Apollo album was his best work in years and this new album has promising names attached.


but I still can't shake "Hiiiiii Gaaaaammmme" from my memory. His hairdo was so wild and those El Salvadoreans eating bullets shirtless buried me.

No I totally agree, I was just saying from their side that is what happened.

It's also a bit of someone being biter, fearing if they release him and someone picks him up then he blows, they have egg on their face.

Soul On Ice 2 is slated for release in December 2016. Partly consisting of previously unreleased vintage 1995 recordings and audio, rare remixes, some remixes from legendary hip hop producers, and brand new tracks inspired by SOI; already completed tracks include features & production from artists such as Diamond D, Immortal Technique, V. Bozeman, K-Rino, Apollo Brown, Alchemist, Vinnie Paz, Styles P, MOP, Faith Evans, and more. We are fundraising with the goal of adding other stellar artists such as: DJ Premier,The Rza, Anderson Paak, Justice League, Mos Def, L’Orange, and Thundercat.

You can donate to the project here...




What? RZA on Soul of Ice 2? He should be on Rassassination 2 not Soul of Ice 2. No disrespect to these features & producers but when you see a sequel you almost want the original blueprint of the same creators. BTW, there was only one feature on the original album "Coolio" It's Ras's decision in the end, but he is crowd funding for a sequel, I'd be a little skeptical as a fan, I dont have a problem with anyone listed. This has demos/rare remixes and brand new tracks? How many brand new tracks? RZA is likely going to give you a phoned in verse, he doesn't have time/focus to commit to a project like this,imo.

This is easy how you do this, you get the original producers on the album:

1. "On Earth As It Is..." Lamont "Bird" Holdby and Ras Kass 4:43
2. "Anything Goes" Lamont "Bird" Holdby and Ras Kass 5:49
3. "Marinatin'" Battlecat 4:05
4. "Reelishymn" Lamont "Bird" Holdby and Ras Kass 4:27
5. "Nature of the Threat" Vooodu 7:43
6. "Etc." Lamont "Bird" Holdby and Ras Kass 3:12
7. "Sonset" Michael "Flip" Barber, Michael Schlesinger, Ras Kass and Reno Delajuan 6:00
8. "Drama" (featuring Coolio) Lamont "Bird" Holdby and Ras Kass 3:46
9. "The Evil That Man Do" Vooodu 6:10
10. "If/Then" Michael "Flip" Barber and Ras Kass 4:50
11. "Miami Life" Michael "Flip" Barber and Ras Kass 4:06
12. "Soul On Ice" Lamont "Bird" Holdby 3:42
13. "Ordo Abchao (Order Out of Chaos)" Vooodu
