No, it doesn't.
Blasphemy is fire and Apollo provided the perfect canvas for Ras to light shyt up.

That shyt was probably pillow music. I heard a couple of joints. Apollo Brown is nothing to write home about.
Nope, shyt was not pillow music. But then you haven't heard the album so it's pointless discussion. Give it a listen...
You didn't like trophies? Brown tape? Words Paint Pictures?
It's not pointless. If dude produced the entire album (1), and I've heard the 3 most popular joints off that album, and they were trash (2), why would I waste my time going through the whole thing?
I'm willing to switch my opinion on this (3). I'm just saying that every Apollo Brown beat I've ever heard was weak (4), with the exception of the semi-weak "Center of Attraction" off the Brown Tape. Ras Kass, an elite rapper (or formerly elite), needs to pair himself with an elite or near-elite producer. Not some dull Premo imitator.
3 -Would that not be wasting your time?
Just because I think someone is trash doesn't mean I'm against recommendations. I might have heard all the wrong tracks.
Unlike most hip hop fans, I'm flexible. I might think someone is trash, but if they make something impressive, I'll give em props for it.
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.
Ras' has one of Hip Hop's saddest stories.
But he made a lot of dumb moves too though. This cat was probably one of the illest lyricists in this shyt in the mid' 90's. I remember readin' The Source heavily back in like '96, and they would have tons of his verses in there like every other issue.
He's made some foolish choices, like choosin' to stay with Priority for more money, instead of singing with Dre. Then his drinkin' problem really sidelined his career, durin' a time when his buzz was finally starting to pick up, he ended up locked up. Hip Hop is all about timing. And he just wasted too many opportunities.
But I'm still fukkin' with Soul on Ice like it dropped yesterday.
