I was young and unknowable about a few things... but was a hiphop head. So
I'll always appreciate all the rappers who dropped madd knowledge , having you go research facts.

To me... Ras kass died when he became a fakkit. He was ill before that.

Only time Rass was "off" was the time of the Game incident...took him a couple years, but he got back to what made him one of the best spitters in the game.

First of all he wasn't black balled by Priority. You are talking about an LA label that pretty much put out records for anyone who was half way decent at rapping on the westcoast. His drinking problem and DUI arrest fukked a lot of things up. They released him. Which leads to the major problem with him which he let everything else other than just staying in the studio get him going. He's easily top 5 lyricist to ever come from California but he just let it slide because he fades in and out. I'd like to say it is just bad luck but it happens from the golden state project to 4 hoursemen to even now. It's not that hard to put out a mixtape in 2015.

Classic mixtape kickoff.



This should have been a single for Rassassination. Ghetto Fabulous was the only single from that album, which is weird. Before it came out it seemed like he was gonna get a decent push, had an interview riding in a helicopter with Big Lez on RapCity and freestyling and everything. Then all of a sudden the machine behind him seemed to just shut down.

minus his setbacks and embarrassing videos...

we actin like rassy still cant spit????

come on now....he aint on his Soul on Ice shyt anymore....but dude is still a great MC

btw I found Soul on Ice lyrically excellent...but the majority of the record was boring

proving once again that lyricism on its own doesn't mean shyt. If you don't make rap records that people can get behind, you're ignored.

Ras Kass has only rhymed on two dope beats in his life: Goldyn Child and Soul on Ice (DIamond D remix).

That's it. Pathetic as fukk.

By the way, why in the fukk has the entire Soul On Ice never been remixed with better beats? If there's ONE album in hip hop history that needs remixing, it's that one.

How many of you have heard his newest CD, Blasphemy? It's like Soul on Ice part 2 to me. It's dope.
