Remember when the Wake Up Show dropped this??

Dope man, I look forward to seeing all that shyt, props.[/QUOT
E]

It started with the last two tracks in the op home sweet home was gonna be a big single for Ras but Alchemist had sold the same beat to Jada which gave us this classic.





Ras was pissed so he made Kiss U with Scipio who ended up turning on Ras signing to BWS and in the bushes. I thought he came hard on Kiss U,

"and I'm sick with the gauge I'll stalk your mams and have that bytch scared to visit ya grave"


There is actually 2 versions I'll try find the other one too.

I guess as a favor for Alchemist or maybe he was asked Nas threw this on God's Son

Soul on ice, death threats given by clowns
I guess livin' is prison when you live around clowns

Ras responded twice but Nas never came back to my knowledge.

"These nikkas rowdy-rowdy never rains in Southern Cali
Only clowdy, howey hit the valley in black Denali's
Like I am Johnny Gotti street on me they rock Armani's
Sorry somebodies baby mama got fukked liked Oochie Wally Wally
Probably I will be ariving early at my platinum party
Poppin wheelies on a Decardi
Bacardi got me arrogant, grouchy and cocky like jocky
I be to complicated to copy can't stop me
Cock lockly my block is craving for brocolli
My nuts to big homey they got me walking notly
I pop three collars at a time that's mine my dimes in every rhyme oh oh"

Then this

Can't find the lyrics but the whole song is a diss.

"It was written but nikkas is ignorant and don't read books
Take a picture trick and look
Life's a bytch so I'ma fukk her till she cum and nikkas is shook
Don't forget me in the top 5 of all time rappers make a nikka get up out his seat like a car jacker"

High school bruh, tryna stay awake after playin football games n shyt, fingers sprang, strugglin to push play n record tryna tape them shyts straight off the radio

I caught the Nas disses but never caught that Soul On Ice shyt and played the Hell out of God's Son

That would've been a classic beef. Or if Jada had stepped in,I think Ras woulda bodied Jada(I love Jada too and you never know) but Nas would be close.

 

[The_Hillsta]

First time I heard Ras was when the video for Miami Life started playing on Rap City. shyt blew me away. I copped SOI the day it dropped.

My potna back in the day....His EXACT words: "I gotta go get that one nikka's tape I heard that said I put my foot so far up yo ass the water in my knee will quench yo thirst"

True stories

 

[Capo Dei Capi]

I'm repping everybody I didn't expect this many replies.

I'm looking for a decent quality version of the Soul On Ice demo will post if I find

...I still got a gang ofhip hop shows like Wake Up show on tapes. I used get my homies frustrated when I used to bring my portable radio/cassette player with us when we went out so I could tape the shows. I wasn't about to miss sh!T

That must've been a great time to comeup in LA music wise. to LA (and the bay) for blessing us with so many classics throughout the 90's.

Sure was...The Hip Hop shows in the mid 90s in L.A. were off the chain. 92.3 The Beat had the shows for commercial station...until Kathy and Albert Hughes came thru and crushed the building.

Anyway to listen to them old shows?

What happened with Kathy and Albert Hughes?

I'm live evil, I know live people
Anxious to bang ya wit heavy metal like Magneto
Now who really on some gangsta shyt?
Not every nikka with a stomach tattoo, bandana and a click homey
You ain't dope just cuz ya sniff it, or lace ya blunt with it
That just makes ya a wack rapper and a drug addict, get it
These nikkas rhyme like they AK spray shyt
Sell a ki of yay shyt, gotta ride, homicide, every single gay shyt
Get smacked in the streets by some real nikka who don't play shyt
Hit the pavement screaming it's just entertainment
And that ain't it, life sucks like fumigation
My obligation, expose all ya funny bunnies
Rappers actin slash fudge packin for the money
Cuz next week if the new fad was hip hop fags
You'll find a lot of these thug nikkas in drag, believe that

How prophetic

DJ Clark Kent said Ras Kass is the best west coast MC of all time

Best to probably google ras kass and wake up show, you make get lucky. One day I might try to transfer my old tapes to mp3 and put online. Wake Up Show should have a quite a few of their old shows online.

Kathy Hughes and her son bought 92.3 The Beat took it out the community and turn the station into a run of the mill R&B/Rap station with no Hip Hop Shows. Oprah called out many black men after the Imus incident with her special show but didn't have Kathy Hughes on the show. Kathy and her son own a gang a radio stations that play the same horsesh!t across the country.

Some old Ras Kass radio freestyles from 1994-1995. This nikka said "I break down MCs like Enzyms and Tevin Campbell" lmao
