Interesting

"There's great hip-hop being made."

"I don't think there's a lyricist making an impact, or impacting the culture as much as like Rakim did when he dropped."

"But I think there's a lot of lyrical dudes, that's doing a lot of lyrical shit that's very impressive."

"There's always going to be good music from every era."

"It's just right now commercially, all the biggest commercial artists, cause there's so much marketing money put into it, most of the commercial artists aren't the better artists."

"I don't think Kendrick is a top 5 lyricist. I don't think he is. I think he is a top 5 lyricist in the commercial market. I think Kendrick is a very good lyricist, but I believe that the reason he's so respected is because he has the Interscope machine behind him, and when you're actually marketing real lyricists, it's refreshing to hear a real lyricist, then they put you on the top. In my opinion I think there's a lot of rappers that can slice up Kendrick. I don't think Kendrick is the best."

"There's refreshing records in the mainstream."

"I'm not saying mainstream commercial artists aren't good either. I'm not one of them dudes either."

"I think lyrically, commercialized radio will try to dumb down the culture."

What's wrong with what he said?
 
He didn't say nothing wrong but I would like to know who are the top 5 commercial artists he feels are more lyrical than Kendrick.

Slice and dice Kendrick lol. Why didn't they step up when Big Sean dropped control? He's tripping.

My bad, I misread it.
 
RA the Rugged Man is a rapper that was signed to Jive records back in the early 90's. He used to rap under the name Crustified Dibbs. He has some nasty lyrics but the dude flows his ass off. He got blackballed in the early 90s and didnt get to put out an album until 2001.

This is prolly his most famous verse. About his dad, a vietnam vet.


This is a song he did with Biggie back in the early 90's. Songs like this and his behavior towards the label are what got him blackballed.


He kinda goes into his history in this song
 
Yo I seriously don't care about white people's opinion pertaining to hip hop

I only came in the thread to say Fuck him and anybody that love him
 
I'm not a fan of this guy but Niggas seriously asking who R.A is? Call this a hip hop forum but you niggas barely know artist thats currently not on the radio

Floyd got ethered again on the same station (Shade 45) by the host Rude Jude.

50cent has a small stake in the station and the host said Floyd called 50 complaining and tried to have him fired.
 
Hes right, he gave K Dot props if anything... He said hes top5 commercial lyricists...

No one gave a fck about Kendrick when he was K Dot and before the Dre co-sign...

RA is a legend, anyone who has not heard his music is listening out, dude is a monster...

He said Kendrick was a top5 commercial lyricists... Just not top5 lyricist overall, including underground etc...
 
I hate that Vlad always ties to get whoever hes interviewing to diss or whatever, like he asked RA who he thought was wack or spitting dumb schitt... No doubt with the hopes off seeing AHH or a site with a headline 'RA disses Pitball' or whatever...
 
I don't disagree at all. KENDRICK is a storyteller more than he is a lyricist. Face, Pac,etc are the same way.

Jay Electronica still had the best lyrics on Control to me. Minus the shock value of calling other rappers out.
