[badexperiment]

[MFProfit]

dont get me wrong the mutha fucka is ill-im just talkin shit! lol

[MFProfit]

Listen to RA is like buying a car and adding 10,000 worth of cosmetics when in reality you could have just bought a better car. Basically im saying ID RATHER LISTEN TO G RAP!

[IndivisiblePrinciple]

I dont know man, Rugged man kills it on that 3 kings shit more than G Rap, and dont get me wrong i THink G Rap is the best of all time. But the fact is Rugged man Kills that shit.

[urfucked69l]

everytime i think i found the illest rapper, i come across some1 iller. and that some1 is R.A The Rugged Man!

[cyph91]

what about; Masta ace, WU-TAANG?, the weathermen, Cage, Tame-1, Yak ballz, Dead prez, Wise Intelligent? Ever heard of those haha, im just trying to show you the illest ;)

[TheCleaningAgents]

naaaaw KOOL KEITH IS THE GREATEST rugged man is 2nd, and BIG motha fuckin L is 3rd

[urfucked69l]

to cyph91

what about; lil dap, guru, canibus, atmosphere, benifit, k-otix, Large Professor, Chino xl, Jedi Mind Tricks, Camp Lo, Jeru da damaja, cannibal ox, Tech N9ne, D-nice? Ever heard of those haha, im just tryin to show tha illest bitch

[cyph91]

omfg lol WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, JMT is cool, tech n9ne too - but chino xl, canibus? they can't even be compared to wu-tang, rugged or the weathermen. They aren't even in the same league

[urfucked69l]

i never said they were better but your over here tryin to tell me who's ill llike i don't kno rap. This was tha first song i heard from r.a the rugged man so that's y i put that comment about him bein so good there and plus sayin wu tang is a cheap shot cus that's about 50 different rappers.

[cyph91]

true, but well there's 9 MCs, and you probably know who they are. K-otix is really nice, ty for mentioning never heard about em.

[urfucked69l]

yur welcome

[urfucked69l]

r.a. the rugged man is good and all but canibus is lyrically better and u obviously can't compare chino xl or canibus with method man, rza, odb ,ghostface killah, masta killa, inspectah deck, reakwon the chef, u god, gza, la the darkman, hell razah, killa sin, killah priest, prodigal sunn, cappadonna, bronze nazareth, cilvarings, streetlife, timbo king, shyheim,60 second assassin, and more put together cus that's basically what you just said.

[cyph91]

By the way, professor is nice too and Camp Lo's made some nice raps, cannibal ox is just some some crazy old guy, let him sleep.

- D-nice made some good music a long time ago, but ive never liked em. The rest that i haven't mentioned i never liked and i don't know anyone who does :) - Even tohugh they are cool some of them, these guys will never flow like rugged, write lyrics as cage, being ill like biggie (and rugged)

[urfucked69l]

k-otix is good

[dhtjlghks]

cannibal ox is part of weathermen, dummy... dont even know the group you support as "the illest", and is a duo... proves that you didnt listen...

cage is an emo faggot...

el-p is nice

copywrite is meh

canibus once had a rap battle wit wutang, beat every one except when he gave up against (i cant remember, iirc, it was killah priest)... and dont forget 2nd round KO, the best diss track of all time

you're stating your opinion as fact when its not, i did too, but not as much as you

[cyph91]

@dhtjlghks - Cage has become an emo kid, dummy.

Only Vast from CanOX has confirmed that he left weathermen, dummy.

You read my comments as facts, you apparantly got mad.

They didn't slay the wu-tang members, thats not just me saying that ;)

Copy is nice, dont listen if you dont like, dummy.

[dhtjlghks]

i dont listen to copy, i knew that cage was emo, and you didnt even know that canox was two people two months ago...

i did get mad, not because i read ur comment as factual, but because some of it was wrong.

i didnt say he "slayed" them as in beat them badly, but i said he beat them.

[cyph91]

@dhtjlghks - not really diggin canOx, so no, i didnt know

You like cage, since your so mad he is now an emo, well he's grown, live with it, be open minded

You expressed yourself like canOx dissed the shit out of wu, they didnt

[dhtjlghks]

i like cage? where did you get that idea? lol, you are pathetic...

i never said CanOX battled Wu, i said CanIBUS... you dont even know a lot of rappers, and you're talking about who's the illest..

[cyph91]

@dhtjlghks - why are you getting so mad? I dont know your favorite rapper coz i dont like him (canibus)/them reffering to canOx.

Well, we can make a competion, who knows the most rappers, haha, i just listen to the music dude, im not in love with the rappers like you

[dhtjlghks]

? when did i say anyone's my favorite rapper? dude, stop guessing at everything you do... it's getting you nowehre... and i'm not gettting mad, either... you're pretty amusing how you try to psychoanalyze me and guess what i'm thinking... i never said im in love with rappers. i corrected you for not knowing anything. canox is 2 people. canibus>most of wutang. you dont know anything about me. i dont listen to cage. i know he's emo. im not mad at your comments. so stop talking shit outta ur ass

[cyph91]

@dhtjlghks - you seem mad.

you saying canibus > most of wu - well off course, how many rappers are there in wu, i stopped counting a long time ago.

Sure he is an emo, ppl change, you should too.

Im just writing down stuff i get from your comments, you seem in love with some rappers, im a listener im not searching on google for every rapper i listen too, sorry to dissapoint you but im not a crazy ass fan like you :(

[dhtjlghks]

i told you a long time ago, im not mad.

i told you to stop guessing stuff about me, your no good at it. i dont go googling rappers, im not in love with any one rapper's music.

and why should i change? are you saying i SHOULD get mad at you? are you saying i should expose you for the poser you are? oh wait...

and by the way, youre part of a minority if you dont know rappers' names.... but you were lying when you said that, your old comments were praising certain rappers.. two faced poser...

[cyph91]

@dhtjlghks - Hahahaha, mate, keep on expressing your feelings through questions, call me a poser, whatever that means, i can see your a sad little guy behind the screen just by reading your comments, you are really pissed at me :)

[dhtjlghks]

@cyph91 its really pitiful how u have such an image of yourself, that everyone else is wrong. well, at least you admit how irritating you are. thank god for internet, i wouldnt want to know you in real life.

if you dont know a word, look it up, idiot.

have a nice life :P

[cyph91]

@dhtjlghks - :D

[MorbidMorals]

franzzzle kill yourself. if u actually listen to those "senseless lyrics" he IS using metaphors and telling a short tale about how people misunderstand what he is trying to do. fucking retard. look up the lyrics if you have to.

[terrapin1station06]

how the fuck are you still on youtube?

[DSQrn]

lol

[DSQrn]

Stop spamming. Its disrespectful and it makes the crappy artist who your trying to support look even worse.

[420swed420]

RA IS SO DOPE!!!

[eklipzer]

I've heard like 3 othe rversions of this song...this is tite...this guy has a dope ass flow

[NickV801]

He goes off, I agree - real dope flow.

[04prep]

just listen to R.A. today nobody can touch him that is rappin today... nobody

[DavidUno23]

Listen to Abdominal...if you are talking about untouchable rappin'....

[420swed420]

meh... to each his own, in my opinion

rugged man >> tonedeff >> abdominal

[DavidUno23]

I'm talking about his flow and pace, I think he untouchable in those 2 things. He's raps fast but I still can understand everything (My first language is Dutch)

[420swed420]

abdominal definitely has a dope flow, one of the best.., but listen to some tonedeff, i think tonedeff has the best flow ever, but its just my opinion,

[highmeDCI]

I like RA, lots, but he's not even the best emcee on this track.

[420swed420]

yea but thats your opinion, in my opinion i only listen to this track for RA then turn it off

[mcpresso]

yeh i'll drink too that...

[franzzzle]

thats stupid j lives verse is way better, pakced with metaphors, ra the rugged man just uses borderline senseless lyrics to flow with like mad

[DjMontana42X]

Thats why hes good.

[kellyoc73]

Give rugged man his props

[KrToTmK]

Can someone put lyrics ????? Tnx.

[derap34]

My bro and I can sing that whole first part starting from:

Ayo give it up rush you up...

[TheAbyssinia]

R.A. The Rugged Man > 99% of all rappers

[TheAbyssinia]

he can't touch Chuck D, Big Daddy Kane, Big L, GZA... but I guess he fucks everyone if he gets a track with them. Except big, Big killed him on cunt Renaissance

RA All Time Top 10 Rapper.

[Gainrrom]

"he can't touch Chuck D, Big Daddy Kane, Big L, GZA"

Oh sure he can. Just cuz they're old and/or dead doesn't mean they're untouchable.

"Except big, Big killed him on cunt Renaissance"

Except that was then, and this is now. Also, see previous answer.

[ezwelchman]

to be honest....ra's dope in this song.....although he reminds me of cory gunz in the sense that a lot of the shit he says doesnt reallly make sense and he just says it cause it rhymes....and dont tell me he is going over my head because .... "hostility, humility, hillbilly, gorilly, he mentally illy, silly as he actually really kill me billy" DOES NOT MAKE SENSE......maybe i cant hear him properly or something...but thats my 2 cents

[Gainrrom]

"hostility, humility, hillbilly, gorilly, he mentally illy, silly as he actually really kill me billy"

I always saw it as "artist trying to make ya feel something", as in, he's using these words to conjure up images in your mind... not to mention the whole "theme" of this song is, for RA, rumors. And this whole part you typed up describes, albeit in a very erratic fashion, rumors about him.

Oh, and the last word isn't "billy", it's "really", as in "has he actually really killed me REALLY?!"

[ezwelchman]

really really good point.....i hadn't thought it that way...

and thanks for clearing up the lyrics...

but most importantly...thank you for responding seriously to my comment and not starting some stupid internet fight like half of these little kids on youtube tend to do...

[Cod3ine]

Yea, true. But nowadays rap makes even less sense. Take wayne for example, or 80 pct of the crap coming from the soulth. Yea good beats but thats all its got. True lyricest are getting more and more rare, everyone just wants a fucking paycheck now.

[DJScallywag]

one of the best joints r.a. has been in fuckin amazing does anyone have smithhaven mall? fuckin went there yesterday lol LONG LIVE RA AND LONG ISLAND =P

[donwhone000]

RA is what hip hop was supposed to be about....he grabs the english language back hands it rapes it and turns it out like a ho on the vegas strip....but he does it so well that I guarantee you most artist and labels are scared to let him drop major because then all the $ and marketing they put behind eminem gets wasted when its realized he is the reason em was "slim shady" and dre knew who ra was so it made sense...and im a huge em fan but ra is the trut(interscope runs most labels btw)

[Ragzz1234]

J-LIVE AND RUGGED <333

[Bloodfeasta]

rugged man has great lyrics, flow and everything, just bad advertising

[Corallis]

hearing RA rhyme only gives me an inferiority complex, lol

[LateXmoutHswe]

Rugged is so freaki'n ill, he owns every track his on, J-live was better than expected tho, sick tune..

[dsfhdugan]

[RuggedObscure]

RA is one of my favorite rappers

[bucknuts1124]

[CACKFUCKINGCACK]

Word, and that song Super - he's sick throughout.

[pabskool]

Ill beat + RA = Gooood sick song

[kvivian89]

Dready Kruger Presents: Think Differently Music Wu-Tang Meets the Indie Culture

[krawc0]
