[luky05loser]

i wish ras kass got paid what he deserves for writing a song like this, and "Nature of the threat"!

[gggggggster]

i used to bump this in the 90's forgot how crazy this song was listened to it everday till i lost the tape, bought the tape twice sgain and lost again, pre internet days tape cassete and batt was the sht.

[RealismOfLife]

"Cause none of these cults want none of us up

I'm 27, and I've been showing this album love since 2000. And it came out in 1996!!! Much Love Rass Kass....where ever you are........

[m9hifidelitytv]

one of greatest songs ever written

[forwardpdx]

ras is not underated, its just not a lot of people are willing to relate to this, they are way to ashamed of their own feelings ras is talking bout. ras kas is the best rapper of all time for real hiphop

[CapTainBuckAHOE]

fuck game

[PAmedio94]

damn ras is underrated as fuck

[graffer420]

Best on the album perhaps

[JecksLok]

@DJDuncan100 keep it that way homie. I started bumpin all that when i was 14.. and everyone around me killed it... no lie.. now theres lames everywhere thinkin their cool bumpin the shit i showed them!

[CiyaDe]

One of the sickest hip hop album of all time.

[DJDuncan100]

@andyeminem23 yeah I understand. When I show good emcees to my friends they get scared about what they sayn & say they dont got swag or sumthin lame like dat. People listen to music with they eyes now a days

[penallcode]

this is hip hop from back then today, the revolution

[XiuTheFeared]

Does Ras Kass hate white people? A few of his songs have anti white lyrics in em. I was just wondering,. I'm a white guy but I still love Ras.

[Creeper094]

@XiuTheFeared

He doesn't hate white people i think he just has alot of disrespect and anger for the small minority of the world that are trying to brainwash evreyone and control the world and this small minority happen to be white.

PEACE

[nastynas373]

this album sure as hell isn't at Best Buy...so i just bought this album for the cheapest i could find it anywhere online, $30 off amazon and i don't care. support real hip hop and save the Ras Kass

[a1rjord4n]

@nastynas373 hes in another group, sum cud call it legendary, the 4 horsemen, consisting of Ras kass, canibus,killah preist and kurupt, hiphop aint dead its jus on life support, so support these niggaz

[nastynas373]

@a1rjord4n I got the HRSMN Project album off ebay, looked like a fake copy though. only like 500 copies made or something like that. their lyrically nasty but the beats are a bit disappointing

[gregor4ik96]

just great...

[iwillknifeya]

This sounds like it uses a drum beat sample from "Growing' Up in Tha Hood" by Compton's Most Wanted. I like this.

[KyIzSoHii]

@iwillknifeya it is from CMW

[iwillknifeya]

@KyIzSoHii Cheers amte :)

[iwillknifeya]

@KyIzSoHii I meant "Cheers mate"

[nem700]

albums like these set the underground apart, and made it was it was. its dead now.

[SirDickStarbuck]

I used to let this CD bang from beginning to end while I played Zelda blowed on my homeboys N64. Classic album.

[DJDuncan100]

@nastyteeth22 yeah I know but ignorat ppl like 2 listen 2 stupid music. Instead of music were u can take the beat away and the rapper would still kill it. Unlike most mainstream rappers like gucci mane & everybdy else

[DJDuncan100]

Im 16 and im the only nigga at my skool who listens 2 ras kass, immortal technique, and other niggas lyk them. Its very sad

[gatbos]

Big Respect for Intelligent rap, Ras Kass and peace to Eldridge Cleaver and his book Soul on Ice that this album was named after

[wordsliketurds]

Classic album. You keep hearing that the beats ain't all that on "Soul on Ice", but how the fuck is this not dope?!

[oneindachamber]

@wordsliketurds You know these wack niggas cant understand the the underground is fuckin dope

[opydopy]

"Since I never used jims I left a seed in the Earth

[jbball50]

Fav track from this album

[AlexB1503]

timeless

[theAMAZlNGama]

almost made me cry.

[101laio]

bad ass song

[twentynothing]

yup this is a true west coast album

reference to cya and restitution fees.... haha

[fuckinfrankwhite]

i didnt bring aztec and mayans into this, thats like what the 13th century? europeans didn't even touch canada till atleast the 16th century. native americans were ridiculous. they didn't have a cultural concept that land belonged to anyone, which made it easy as hell for the europeans to get them to write there land off to them. Plus they lost their land due to technological inferiority. no one has any excuses for africa's inability to support themselves.

[1Soahc]

@fuckinfrankwhite

Actually their is. Your dumb ass needs to look up "the scramble for africa"

This is when europe all went to africa with a scalpel and cut it into all these different countries. Africa Has ruled the earth longer then ANY race. Math and sciences came from africa and this is a proven documented fact. Most africans were inviting and let the white people in and then we had the same thing that happened in america. There would be none of this without africans and its a fact.

[fuckinfrankwhite]

@1Soahc you think i don't know about the influence europeans on africa? you were easy to take advantage of, and in a dog eat dog world you have to always be on your toes. yeah i am white, but i don't like who are ignorant enough to blame white people for the poverty in africa. math and science came from africa? the greeks made some of the biggest contributions to mathematics, along with the chinese, i also know that the arabs and islamic people were big on math. your not talking to an idiot.

[iSawPsyren]

@fuckinfrankwhite Dog eat dog is the very attitude that is destroying humanity. This idea that since someone out there possesses malice, you must strike them first, is the great lie. It justifies all manner of hell on this planet. Only through individuals setting aside ALL grievances with the entirety of mankind can the strength be found to cut short all cycles of hatred and violence that seek to pass through their life. Ceasing to hate and to war is the only solution to hatred and war.

[fuckinfrankwhite]

@iSawPsyren dog eat dog isn't destroying humanity. competition is what makes are economy thrive. if your a lazy fuck chances are the next guy is gonna get your job. are you a communist? truth is, wars are always going to happen because people are greedy out there, some people become greedy while others are born greedy. people always want what they can't have, but if what they want is possible to attain through war, then there gonna go through measures to get what they want.

[iSawPsyren]

@fuckinfrankwhite That's the insane thinking of the ego at its worst right there. "Kill a man for food. Fuck over the community for a little bit more cash. Tear apart a soul for orgasm. Just a little bit more, they'll get over it, and if they don't, fuck 'em." Present economic systems are unnecessary to life and exists as a tool of ego to pretend we have power. How does that not hurt us as a whole species? The GDP? Fuck it. How many raped in a year? How many murdered? Robbed? Abused? Perceive.

[fuckinfrankwhite]

@iSawPsyren your the insane one thinking that this is crazy talk, it's the truth. im from vancouver our economy is definitely not at its highest point, considering im from the coast and alot of work comes from fisheries and forestry those two economys are fucked, our government is selling our mills to american companys and they just close them down and send the machines south, i jus got back from fishing in the ocean and half the fish we can't keep because we have to save them for americans.

[fuckinfrankwhite]

@iSawPsyren if you have time to go out and rape and abuse people then obviously your not an active member of society, the only people i know who have jobs right now are people who work there fuckin asses off to make a living, sure its not right but its definitely not some false view on life, its the truth and im not a pussy pretending that we have a eutopian society. not everythings perfect and if you treat life like it's not something you hafta work for then your taking it for granted.

[iSawPsyren]

@fuckinfrankwhite That's quite what I mean. Your whole community is suffering right now because some folks don't think a mansion and five cars is good enough; they need multiple vacation homes too. Snatch up some depressed businesses to increase your net worth and solvency and take your loans. That's just one facet of ego's involvement though. Let's not overlook the delusions of business owners who sell out their friends and families to protect themselves from imaginary ruin, as if cash is life.

[fuckinfrankwhite]

@iSawPsyren people who buy all that crap make huge contributions to society. sure there buying 5 houses and own a bunch of cars, but they pay insurance for those cars and have mass taxes to pay on those homes. im not rich and no where near it, i get just as sick to see people rolling around in cash, although the cash could be spent on better things, it's their money, not everyone feels comfortable in investing on crumbling companys.

[1Soahc]

@fuckinfrankwhite

white people would still be in caves if it was not for africans and THATS a fact to. White people try to find justice in everything they do and its a damn shame. Whites steal, steal, steal. And why are you even here? i am guessing your another white boy who likes rap and you just happened to come across some truth that offended you. Get outa here with yo bullshit.

[fuckinfrankwhite]

@1Soahc so why don't you keep your mouth shut and get out of here with your bullshit. yeah i like hiphop but thats totally irrelavant to why you even commented to me. why don't you get off my dick, i don't know how your do things from where your from. but i'll mentally run circles around you and would physically destroy you if i ever seen you in real life. you honestly have to be half retarded to say that there would be no science without africa. every civilization contributed to science.

[fuckinfrankwhite]

@1Soahc im still not done with you, why the hell would white people still be in caves without africa? your such an ignorant idiot. like what do you mean white people, has every white person from every continent really affected you that bad. my bets are you live in america or canada and have literally no reason to hate white people other than the fact your ignorant. like what do you mean all white people try to do is justify their actions? we don't have to justify anything whats done is done.

[1Soahc]

@fuckinfrankwhite

Lets get it then.

First off i am willing to bet only one of us have a pro record and i am pretty sure its not you. That means i will take you on any day. Secondly You could not mentally run circles around anyone aside a retard if your grammar is any relation to your IQ. White people would steal be in caves because that is where the africans FOUND them at, It was the africans who pulled them out of the caves and taught them. Whats done is not done and whites are learning that

[fuckinfrankwhite]

@1Soahc haha i don't know where the hell your getting this from. africans never pulled white people out of cage thats insane talk, show me a link to any information containing that. to say any race taught another is fucking crazy. your pro black attempts to shut me down are pathetic. sorry to inform you but every race made there own contributions to science, math and other areas of study. give me a link supporting anything that you just said. you don't have a big iq, your racist and ignorant.

[thesickness101]

@1Soahc

Best part of this is you made a grammar reference and then used "steal" instead of still. Nice try, bro. You made yourself look dumb and then topped it off with a bunch of info that sounded like tinfoil conspiracy bullshit. Cages? lol.

[fuckinfrankwhite]

enough of all this dark and light skinned crap, every ras kas video i go to i hafta read this crap, im white and our people hafta put up with bullshit too, i shouldn't get judged because my people ran through natives and took slaves from africa. in a fucked up way your people were just easy to take advantage of at the time, 50% of people woulda did the same. you realize we had huge citys and were travellin to different continents while natives and africans were still in huts, not being racist.

[ThaFlyestMoor72]

@fuckinfrankwhite Yo Timbuktu was a University in B.C. Plus the Nile Valley had Porches at there homes and walking steps and pyramids. Also read Iroquois Constitution this is the basis for the US Constitution. From the Natives It was originally entitled The Great Law Of Peace. Plus My People the Moors(Africans) Conquered and ruled most of Europe for 700 years. We had Mounds and Pyramids here in America so what are you talking about partner?

[CiScOxKiDx311]

@fuckinfrankwhite Fool your hella trippin!.. look i havent done much research on African Civilization yet, but saying natives werent civilized is jst strait up stupid!!.. Natives were building huge pyramids as big as the egyptian ones.. they had huge civilized cities tht even the Spaniards claimed were the cleanest cities they had ever seen. The Aztec people were way more civilized than the Europeans at the time in many ways!.. They had bigger, cleaner, cities..

[CiScOxKiDx311]

@fuckinfrankwhite They bathed daily when Europeans didnt even bathe, only the high social class bathed, and that was only once a month!. The Aztecs and Maya had mandatory education for everybody, not just the rich but also the poor, something Europe didnt have. While Europe was throwing their shit out the window, natives had aqueducts already. So before you start talkn shit frontin that natives and africans were uncivilized do your research first, then talk..

[KrizZtyLe1]

Love this song so much!

sub meeh please

[rawmaster514]

Damn ras...man thats deep.2 bad we aint know each other, we coulda been coo

[lopytube]

@rawmaster514 Damn so the mutha...got prison time for getting hit by another car which made him hit somebody else and killed them.Damn thats deeply sad

[TheKingbluez]

top choon

[mase148]

2nd best rap song in world.

[bosman1988]

every time i hear ras spit that "baby powder" line in the first verse, i get chills down my spine. what a horrible feeling to have, to be made to feel ashamed of being who you are. fuck racism. props to conscious hip hop.

[lopytube]

@bosman1988 Damn so the mutha...got prison time for getting hit by another car which made him hit somebody else and killed them.Damn thats deeply sad.Plus eventhough Im light skin after being more conscious about life and history bout the gov.I realise oneday that I found myself trying to keep myself light skinned(sound familiar to a big celeb we lost)yeah but its a damn shamed

[rawmaster514]

@lopytube yea bro i'm light skinned 2. it's hardest when some of our darkskinnned brothers and sisters or evenimmediate family, treat us differently because of it. Steryotypes and misconseptions, yea, damn shame just about sums it up.

In ras's case, he was driving drunk; therefore, he was almost immediately at fault.

[sedcdf1000]

@bosman1988 Yeah, that's real talk there! Screw racism.

[Blakkset]

Lyrically, This Is One Of The Best Albums Ever.  The Production Was This Album's Achilles Heel.

Ras' Honesty Paired With Intelligent Lyricism Is What I Will Always Love. I Honesty Can Cry Listening To The Confessions Because I Can Relate.

Soul On Ice

[suaved]

@Blakkset

Honestly, I never thought the production was that bad on this album. His rhymes were so dope and profound that I overlooked the beats.

Don't get me wrong; I love beats too, but I can honestly listen to this album from start to finish without skipping. Some of the samples were pretty nice.

[justfarr1030]

I'm from NY and I can easily admit this is one of the GREATEST ALBUMS OF ALL TIME....EASILY.

[nemesis700]

im lookin at myself and seein every other nigga that i knew.....its the evil that men do

[Johnny8109]

Shit Ras was straight Fire throughout this entire album.. I had the CD for some years but for some stupid reason I sold or lost it, dont remember which ..now it goes for minimum 30-40 bucks on amazon.. might pick it up again..I could read listen to and analyze the lyrics on this more than any other hiphop album.. ras still sick wid it though, he kinda rap about other things now though..

[poccnrpride]

shit is amazing... comes from tha time wen hip hop wasnt only bout bitches an jewlery

[jhjhgfnji7]

nice!

[nimo734]

I hate my black skin its just sin to be a nigga!!! kinda hard to hold it together when you really think about that one

[marcusinHD]

but every nigga on my block, can't stop, and they wont stop, and they dont stop

[slug4rmlynwood]

SANTA FE NUT 110TH 4 LIFE TILL 1233

[slug4rmlynwood]

my fav razzy song period111111111111111111111111­111111111111SANTA FE ZTAND UP

[monolif]

Absolute favorite song from my absolute favorite album of all time...

Within the first 2 seconds, the the very end of the song, it sends shivers throughout my entire body. no matter how many times I listen to it.

This song almost made me cry the first time I heard it. I love it so much.

Ras Kass is the most underrated rapper of all time. Along with Masta Ace. I wish he still rapped like this.

[ogmobdaddy]

I feel you.This song reminds of shit i went through growing up.

[wukillah92]

completely agree

he poured some real heart and soul into this shit. People can relate to REAL music and feel it

[slug4rmlynwood]

wow i also think its the best hip-hop album ever? do you have it on vinyl i doooooo

[sconnors11]

last verse is sickk ,deep, but fucked up

[sconnors11]

sickkk mothafuckin song 5*

[eddielox1]

cuz im a mutha fukin gay fish

[Benjahmmin]

haha fishsticklover

[Lakers1star]

never can enuf...im young but i very deep into goverment and illuminati

[Creeper094]

JHEEZE!

this song is sick

[egyptianpiffin]

if he sampled redman saying the evil that men do i woulda cried

[Kabman89]

nice track!!!!

[slug4rmlynwood]

my fav razzy track I remember i was a freshman in lynwood when da album came out everyone was bumping dat shit . I didnt have money to buy it so i stole it from blockbuster music on tweedy blvd in south gate..

[KAZERLOKS]

damm i know where that blockbuster is at!..stole some cds from there to..!

[Thschris]

This song is really emotional, how come Ras Kass isn't more famous then he is right now? I mean 5,445 views? This shit pisses me off, this is one of the best rappers alive and if you break it down properly he could possibly be the best one. I'm really a Nas, Pharoahe Monch, AZ, Crooked I, Joell Ortiz, etc. fan. So, I love lyrical content and Ras is up there

[IbnTuraic]

because the elite illuminati dont plan on letting an concious revolutionary mc spread it from tha mic. they want us to think about bitches and money. and thats what hip hop is today

[Benjahmmin]

LOL illuminati :D........their name is The Bilderberger Club;). they are the real illuminati

[SPHINXMENREECE]

the bilderberg group isn't the illuminati, one powerful faction of thw illuminati network.

[Benjahmmin]

hmmm interesting way to see i!

[strongnoob]

lol the fuck. Its not just one group. Its a bunch of them, and even then some don't agree with eachother. And there is more then just the Bavarian Illuminati.

[Benjahmmin]

lmao, "bavarian" illuminati .....haha......do u mean the freimaurer or what?

[chaseroneeightseven]

awas haha freimaurer jay-z isn freimaurer! freimauerer = freemason

[Benjahmmin]

komsch grad nicht mit,is glaub ich aber auch nicht weiter schlimm :D....

[twitchm249]

because lyrical content dont sell

this aint the 80's or early-mid 90's

i need a time machine ha ha

[R00TZSP]

Yeah man this shit can't get out to the public.

Its to informative, there would be too many people questioning there laws.

The realest are underground.

[maceo69]

wow ras reveals his soul in that track

[ljradojci]

5* best from Soul on ice

[slug4rmlynwood]

YUPPPP

[Rap0nlyCompton]

1 OF MY FAVZ!

[xonexcoolxgirlx]

[Trashyman345]

@JayRcMaster

I agree, i love songs like this....where you can just close your eyes and see the story of their life....and even see images of your own life....truely deep.
