I think I played this song more than any other song in existence back in 98
[ame=http://youtu.be/OYKbBkb8BSQ]Xzibit feat. Ras Kass and Saafir - 3 Card Molly - YouTube[/ame]


I got three-oh-fo's in three-one-oh
on section eight, with multiple one-eighty-sevens
Sport a Marilyn Manson t-shirt when I die and go to heaven
Smoke a beady, scrape my lungs, smoke the resin
Remember the name Ras Kass-ciano
Get to clownin y'all punk bytches, cause I'm a Mac, like Ronald


:salute:

Nas has never been able to duplicate the complexity in his lyricism shown on illmatic (IWW honorable mention) and the same as ras

Soul on ice
Illmatic

That's all I need

black love, unity, and music
Rass Kass is a supremely talented MC, or at least was. His rhyme schemes were far to advanced for the average hiphop listener, therefore he was virtually ignored. But that Soul on Ice Album is probably in my top 5 hiphop albums of all time!

"Menace II Society, seen that :ufdup:
Kobe and Shaq :shaq2: - Lakers bout to bring the championship ring back
From Ladera Heights to Venice Beach
Dime pieces with BMW leases and Cartier timepieces
I was born to raise West coast til my casket drop
Throw up a dub, spittin at the camera like 'Pac,
:pacspit:



Anyone else remember this one , from the Three Strikes soundtrack?

shyt sounds like he should be rapping on a pirate ship ...

I had it on a mix I made back in the day... pretty sure Dogg Pound "What would you Do?" followed it .. :lawd:

other then ras kass cube and pac are the only lyricist from the wast that was rhyming multisyllabic

example

The waterproof MC, you ain't wettin' me
You need to stop rappin' and start robbin' banks like Steady B
Cause see, no matter how much green you make
You never taste the avocado, just another broke Versace model
Tiger Woods ain't even up to par in the game of survival
That's why I'm pissin' in y'all Cristal bottles
Drink Listerine, brush my teeth with amphetamine
So I can sound fresh and say dope things in between
Three strikes to five mics (forever snortin'), I want a woman
With the body of a whore and a personality like Lauryn
Can't even say I didn't know 'cause while we wanna be
NWA they create the NWO
How many years, fo' mo' so fukk them fake John Gotties
Ain't got no Mazzeraties I be at the party sippin' on Todies
My nikkas pumpin' areas, out Audies in Saudi
I'm thuggish ruggish to the bone, and I'm gonna dis everybody

I preferred this over the album version because of the Hip Hop Drunkies instrumental.
