... I'm going to get it out of the way first.

Yes after being blackballed by Priority around 2002. Having 2 decent albums (Van Gogh and Goldyn Chyld) of material shelved... :why: Catching a DUI , his masters going "missing" , and then getting incarcerated...

Coming out .. getting sonned by Game and the embarrassing "Hi Game" video .. :snoop:

Rassy's career has been a washed up joke.


However before this . Ras Kass was a contender to be one of the best in the West...

Soul On Ice of course had one of hip hops greatest history lessons :


December 25th, the birth of Saturn
A homosexual god, now check the historical pattern
December 25, now thought the birth of Christ
Was Saturnalia, when men got drunk,
fukked each other then beat their wife
:ohhh:

as well as straight spitting :


Revert to revolution Ras reverse, reverberates
Revolvin with written retalliation, rate repetitious
Reflex flex, regret nikkaz regress to less than recoup
When recording, I wreck, records
:leon:

Rasassination had heat as well , although largely more commercial :
(always preferred this over the Show me what ya got Jay Z flip of that sample)


"Walk holdin my nuts , I don't give a fukk , spit some shyt so nasty it'll make Lil Kim blush" :jawalrus:


Even his unreleased songs from Goldyn Chyld were pretty vicious , the way he kicks this song off : :ohlawd:



:ufdup: "I struck the game like ve-nom , then I'm a pheno-me-non"

"Who comes to mind about who's really the nicest? That's when I bust a nut eat a big lunch and catch the itis" :russ:



It's a shame how the mighty have fallen...

What are your thoughts on Ras Kass ?

man ras used to be too nice.

dude was one of the few mc's back in the day that i was excited to hear him drop shyt and everytime he did a guest verse I knew he was gonna kill it. he used to have me like :blessed: hearing him spit but now listening to him is sadly like :shaq2: .

on the real though, rassie's demise started long before that infamous "Hi, Gayme" vid. the last straw was when he started fighting Priority over "Van Gogh" being shelved and instead of just dropping some quick half-assed shyt to get outta his label deal he decided to pull some slick shyt and run with the masters of "Goldyn Chyld" after they told to drop the Dre produced cut, "The Whoop" as the 1st single or else his lp ain't dropping, he deferred to Dre (which was fukkin stupid, since he ain't never gonna work with Dre ever again) who didn't want his joint used as the lead single and then he decided to pull that "Catch Me If U Can" shyt, caught that DWI and the rest is history.

Rassie nowdays can spit some sick shyt every once in awhile but overall he's :flabbynsick: . at this point i'm more interested in hearing a properly mastered version of the "Soul On Ice" demo tape or that "Catch Me If U Can" mixtape with new and unreleased shyt that Hiphopsite.com was selling pre-orders for back when he was on the run (Priority shut that shyt down tho) than any new shyt from him cause even in his prime he never had a good ear for beats and it's gotten worse over the years with him working with seemingly anyone that offers.

i always felt that he shoulda just been like fukk trying to rep the west so hard, let me just link up with some east coast boom-bap producers and drop an album with them handling the beats cause he's always sounded more at home on their shyt rather than him trying to rip wannabe g-funk tracks that he had no business being on.

Last dope track I heard from him was that Corleone shyt. Someone post it. Ras was beyond dope but it all comes to an end when you forget why u started rhyming in the first place.

He killed this feature :

Put my rhymes in mixed fortune cookies to leave Confucious confused
