Ras Kass – “Bardom” feat. KRS-ONE

Ras Kass and KRS-ONE. They got one with this one. Hip-Hop heads, lean forward and prepare to nod. Even the title though… you certainly don’t think boredom with either of these emcees. You think BARS! Rhymes at the highest level… setting the bar for rap time and again. On the block. In the booth. Moving the Hip-Hop nation. Bar domination. All that – “Bardom!” Damn a Grammy! Heralding the release of Ras’ “Intellectual Property: SOI2,” this is “Bardom.” An incredible follow-up to “PayPal The Feature” (also on the LP, posted here.)

Ras Kass – “Kanye Moments” (Prod. By C-Dash) [Video]

Verrry interesting. And dope! Prince of Parody, Sultan of Spoof, and all-around funny dude Affion Crockett brought his talents to bear for Ras Kass’ cause… of poking fun at Kanye West… while turning out good, music on “Kanye Moments” to which we can all relate. Ras is just speaking on the frustrations he/we have (with the industry or what have you) when trying to do what he/we do but still cannot really break through despite our best efforts.

We all have those moments where we spazz out, go on a tirade, and speak our #facts. Ras uses a trap beat to vent about the current issues in Rap while parodying some (in)famous Kanye West incidents. produced by C-Dash, hook by Atlanta’s Chiccen. Videography by @BZfilmz (Numskull of the Luniz starring as Kanye, and more…).

Warning (imagine sarcastic air quotes around that): This vid contains actual “Kanye Moments” (haaa, you don’t got the answers)!

Ras Kass – “PayPal The Feature” feat. Steele (Of Smif-N-Wessun) x Sean Price (Video)

EXTINCTION LEVEL DOPENESS!!! RIP to the P! in real raPSean Price! And with video like this, he can rest in peace or power or whatever… just rest well. And well thought of. This “PayPal The Feature” is everything that is right with real raw Hip-Hop. Feel how ill that beat will make you! Let the bar-after-bar attack for Ras, Steele and Sean BARbarian hit you upside the head (that’s when your head is REALLY nodding)!

(And if you recognize the Sean Price stock footage used, or at least wondered why the XXL logo was on it, points for you! We posted P! Show ‘N Off here a good while ago… back when XXL was actually picking dope emcees to step to the mic. YEAH, I SAID IT!)

Ras Kass – “Promised Land” (Prod. By Statik Selektah)

Jesus didn’t even own a camel. Creflo Dollar wants 65 million for a new jet.
I just want 75 G’s for the new vette; blue Stingray. Make it a pair like Hugh Hef.

WHAT??! That’s how Ras STARTED his rhymes on this “Promised Land” jawn! You should have been stretching your neck to protect it from head-nod injury as soon as you read that that Statik Selektah laid down a beat for yet another Ras Kassination. Take time to do that now. Then hit the play button and get so much more from the work put down by the vets.

Always a socially conscious rapper, Ras addresses Police shooting unarmed black men, the Black Lives Matter movement and other relevant political topics underlined by a Statik Selektah piano riff track accompanied with Martin Luther King “I Have A Dream” speech inspired scratches provided by he and inDJnous, helped out with soulful vocals by Washeyi Choir. Chucch indeed!

Ras Kass On Female Emcees, Black Lives Matter, Sean Price And More (Video)

Great series of interview clips featuring frank commentary from Ras Kass the west coaster. Above, he talks above repping his hometown of Carson; being the first to really do so (even though Brandy & Ray J are also from there). That’s just the first clip. Check out the rest after the jump; in which he gives props to up-and-coming rappers (male and especially female) doing good mic work, feelings of futility regarding police brutality and ‘Black Lives Matter’ and working with other artists like Can-I-Bus and Sean Price (RIP)… among other things.

So … um … not coming up with any on “the list” who’d risk taking that L. But enjoy the Ras flow tactics intro’d and produced by a long time fav on this site: Apollo Brown.
