Ras Kass Appreciation Thread

[The Ruler 09]

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.

Yeah, in a battle Ras would arguably take both.

I'm tellin you bruh, This was how he was spittin on everything you would hear him on....."And when my voice hits the mic, I electrocute spit like beat street" line always had me ......Still do.

...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

After the wake up intro they would play this instrumental in the background and would throw it on a freestyle every chance they got Had Rock of Heltah Sketlah rippin it one of them times. Wish I still had that shyt

Does anyone know where I can get soul on ice and Van Gough?

 

[the rhyme king]

You ain't got enough calcium to have a bone to pick wit' me
Like a gracie I choke a nikka out wit' his own gi
On me, fukk they whole batallion
I'll chop ya head off and wear ya skull like sophmore medallions, papi
I'm the one wit da million dolla' smile and three dollars to my name
Puttin black eyes in the game like mascara
Diabetic MC's must think shyt is sweet
These venomous techniques, I leave heat
A nikka gots to have it in these streets
Bubble eyed G-S on they teams wit beats
Screamin, "I'll make ya famous,"
Write my rhymes in alien and battle nikkas in sign language
Cowards make a little cheese then enlarge
Artificially, like Pamela Anderson Lee's double D's, please
I'm bangin from Belize to Tel Aviv on the Red Sea
Racin' Saddam Hussein on Kawasaki jet ski's

[the rhyme king]

Stay p*ssy as a pantha, puffin' a hav-a-tampa
Askin rappers, "What do you call a million rabbits
Walkin' backwards?" (backround) A recedin' hairline
You shouldn't be nervous though, cuz if I blow
I'mma buy ya record contrac, neva shoot a video
But realy though, is ya nice without rent-a-cars and hype? (nope)
While me and my 12 homies, sip wine like Jesus Christ
Wit' super models bitin' on my ears like Mike Tyson on
Fight night (Sho' ya right)
The dumb and dumber, my cats pack thunder
And I got mo' (w)raps than Mumm-Ra, mean green
Like that super hero with the lantern and ring
Then watch bootleg cable on a sixty-inch screen
Champagne, greens, in 3d, while b*stards out catchin' V.D.'s
See me easily givin' fools the finger like E.T
We be rougher than callous (y'all fakkits)
Sing a love ballad, then toss each other's salad
