Hey, anybody think this is a sampling from Rammstein's- Sonne? At the end.

[skasere1]

this verse was recognized as one of the best Rap verses of all times....so we should all respect R.A not only for this but as a unique rapper cause he is..

[WarrenKoolidge]

DOPE!!

[truesoldier11231]

thumbs up for 1 of the greatest verses.

[BlueFlamingoFilms]

lol when i first R.A i thought he was black.

[CodyaW56]

Raw

[zzkateboard]

WHERE IS THE PART OF MOTHERFUCKIN VINNIE PAZ

[TheRapResurrection]

@zzkateboard Who cares RA shits on Paz.

[13PHXnash13]

@zzkateboard The only reason he made this video was to honor his dad, paz's verse didn't have shit to do with him

[hawkmob]

Rugged Man how do you rap without breathing?!?!?!

[ArabJihadi]

When I first heard this song about 6 months ago it rocked me to the core, and the reaction is the same this time around. Moving to the extreme.

[patrikgeorg7]

DUCK, AND COVER!

[kain161718]

weres vinnies verse ?

[RandomToughGuy]

this is my antidote to the POS souljaboy 

[face237]

who said hip hop died in the 90s its still poppin in the 2000's... it just went underground

[xHD31x]

R.A. the rugged man is TRUTH <3...rip sgt thorburn

[thestevester94]

Greatest verse in History. Lyrically talent is phenomenal. Multisyllabic Rhyming, flow is on point, and best of all emotionally deep AND a true stroy

[FlabbyDwarf]

Illegitimate Killas U.S Military Guerillas.

[morgankay334]

phenomenal...enough said.

[jskyl14]

Still after like 3-4 years one of the greatest verses i ever heard.......vinnie paz is ok too but i hate his whole fake gangster religious killer gimmick he always does...his solo album was real good tho i was surprised

[drgreenthumb18]

Best flow you will ever hear!!

[TheWarkid187]

they should use this as soundtrack for the next upcoming warmovie

or soundtrack for COD 7

[whatdahek4120]

This is off the hook!! holy snap, I am glad I found this joint is just crazy.

[quote55]

Hes so weird, he has the best flow ive ever head though

[markoilich8]

What is agent orange?

[stevadelija]

@markoilich8 entlaubungs chemikalien !!!!! pflanzenvernichtungs mittel !!!!

[markoilich8]

@stevadelija Razumem Srpski...

[FWmusicvids]

@markoilich8 its a chemical weapon the US used during Vietnam to deteriorate the foliage on trees to expose enemy positions. The jungle was so thick the air support couldnt see through it

[whatdahek4120]

@markoilich8 just read about it on Wikipedia and you will see that it was a poison used in Vietnam War.

[RapRockHockey]

Incredible.

[reiman1308]

This is better then any mainstream song out there. I can appreciate a good lyrics when I hear it. And I appreciate this.

[del345]

Damn this verse is really ill and so freakin' deep. This is definitely one of the greatest verses in hip-hop history.

[TheGrimKilla]

Its his dad... Such a personal song

[RealRapMusic101]

this verse show - cases all R.A. skills

Speed, Flow, Lyrically, Deep, and most of all this is true!

absoloutly amazing verse

[KraftTV]

So dope.

[1980kalil]

my father died as well from side effects of agent orange...i know the pain

[2scrimble9]

Best hip hop verse ive heard. Thats just beautiful..

[xdxdxdlloll]

nice song bad vid

[nicoskaterRS]

he doesn't fucking breath!!! :0

[roidrage11]

i love this song (the full version), but this video is fucking horrible, it looks really amateur.

[SKuRvyRunt]

@roidrage11 From what I heard this video had zero budget. Considering the fact - its pretty impressive

[amexnamedluis]

zero budget would mean unlimited no? But ya, i get what you mean.

[grantpichla]

@amexnamedluis zero budget means it was produced with no funding, basically out of his own pocket...

[MrRawmah]

These needs to be on MTV, VH1,BET, FOX, ABC, CNN, ESPN, NBC, SHOWTIME, HBO, CINEMAS, SCHOOL TVS, universities all over the globe, even on a doctors office to lets peoples know the true face of war.....damn! one of the greatest verses of all time! big up THE ENEMY OF MANKIND JMT fan since day uno!

[ERUSTON9]

Introduced to R.A. by his production for the movie "Bad Biology". Really unlikely combination of the Frank Hennenlotter (director of Frankenhooker and Basketcase series) and this hardcore rapper the Rugged Man. I have like zero interest in rap but I am really liking Rugged Man's shit a lot.

[ecgakagospel]

I listened to this song while walking home from work the other day. I just zoned out and listened to the lyrics. It made me appreciate so much more what the army is going through in war. I also nearly shed a tear, a grown man nearly shedding a tear...that's what Ra can do to ya!

[SoCalDude805]

RIP to Rugged Man's dad.

[etetepete]

With music like that on a regular basis our world would look different.

The purpose of propaganda is to distract us from reality, things we as modern democracies would never agree to.

[HavanaMV]

That is some heavy fucking lyrics!

[nicoskaterRS]

skilling, killing, illing!

[ArmyOfThePharaohz]

ILLest RAP SONG AND VERSE Ever Made. RA and His Family will always be Legends RIP To John A Thorburn and his children.

[amexnamedluis]

Most underrated MC man.

[Jndfreaks]

The greatest rapper alive today

[dennismear]

DJ, STOUPE THE ENEMY OF MAN KIND one of the greatest.

[ThaLostVerse]

He is sick in this track, but its still better with JMT for some reason

[TheJuggalotus918]

much respect to ra and his father a true war hero. These lyrics bring me tears everytime i hear them. please everybody don't forget all of the m.i.a.'s still there and all of the vets they are all war heros.

[amerikan805]

This is from JMT ??????

[zalanicht]

@amerikan805

Uncommon Valor with Vinnie Paz off Servants in Heaven; Kings in Hell Album

[MichaelsRandomness]

SICK SONG!!!

[jponry1]

wack ass yes men..... he's a nice rapper. get it "Rapper" he's not a tool.

why the fuck would you talk about Vinnie paz on a track that is strongly based on his family. wtf is wrong with you? This is a sick track and it's not about raw lyrics and shock value it's a fucking serious story. N00b :DDDDD Jponry OUT!

[ItsSwad]

What a fuckin' verse. Best flow av heard in a LOOOOOONG time. & it's flowin' some deep ass shit, none of ur random multi syllable bullshite.

[lunatic061589]

rap legend

[bigrockstar41]

Great song, would be better if vinnie was in it.

[twistt]

" R.A.'s unforgettable collaboration with Jedi Mind Tricks"

love that description.

[JediMindTricks183]

this song doesnt sound the same without Vinnie Paz's first verse.

[jbkrule]

"Look out for a new studio album coming later this year." Can't wait! You're killing me with suspense.

[nfsfilms]

I'm seeing this guy live in August, he's spitting this song, going to be the greatest moment in my life.

[cucma]

LEGEND!

[TafTabTah]

In my opinion this is the best verse ever spit from anybodys lips ever!

To tell a story about his own father in Vietnam and on top of that it's a true story! If anyone has ever even tried to flow you've gotta imagine how hard that would be to write! This song blows my mind every time I listen to it

[GoodLaxatives]

Best verse, possibly of all time. Think about it, the lyrics are crazy, you can hear his passion for this verse, he is crazy with the multi-syllables, the story is amazing yet sad, and he explains it all so perfectly. The way he makes the war sound terrible, but at the same time you feel like your being a hero and accomplishing something so you don't really want to leave. Government, War, and Mind Games.

[chubbywater]

R.I.P. to John Andrew Thorburn - Aug 26 1946 - Jan 7 2010 - Respect to your father R.A.

[TheZeromix]

@chubbywater OK I don't get something R.A said in the song that the guys kids where born handicap and R.A is not handicap so how can the guy he made the song for be his father????.

[FallToRise]

@TheZeromix His brother died from it dude.

[ArabJihadi]

R.A. had the fortune of not being handicapped. 3 of his siblings were born handicapped.

[cadu1995]

This shows you how much this country sucks-The usa denied AgentOrange had any BAD effect for decades-pure scum.They sent you to war ONLIES-there never was any attack in the Gulf Of Tonkin.And then the scumbags refuse to treat you for sickness that THEY GAVE YOU. Lying Scum.And then McCain & Kerry made sure that the POW's from NAM never came home.The N.Viets wanted 2 or 4 Billion to release the prisoners & the usa refused to give them the $ & they all died-THOUSANDS of POW's.MayUallBurninHell

[krabyaw]

"Skilling,killing,illing i'm able and willing" RESPECT...

[Trigga3ali]

@krabyaw " Skill in Killing, illing, im able and willig "

[Bredemann100]

i love rapping with this song on 1.5 speed in wmp greatest verse ever

[ONSELSONADOR]

i love this fucken song....ra the rugged man is the shit....legendary......

[Obeace]

only reason vinny wasnt in it was they couldnt find a fox hole his fat ass could fit in. You see that guido fuckin a ballon

[NoxNoctics]

@Obeace mate thats the funniest thing i've read in ages

[JakeDaigo]

R.I.P. to John Andrew Thorburn. I didn't realise Rugged's Dad had passed away, I saw him giving commentary on the Rugged Man videos and read a few interviews with him after this track came out and he seemed like a decent bloke, family man and very proud of his kids, and quite cool about the fact that his big son was this crazy rapper.

[SHADOWARRIOR65]

fukin raw shit yall

[SeyeQuest]

This is the best story-telling lyrics since like Slick-Rick Childrens Story. Know this track since it like came out, but never saw the vid, must admit it's ok but it's better to listen to the lyrics and this sublime produced track before you see this vid!! Big Thumbs Up !!

[sfisk0]

dam this is sad ( the lyrics that is) that his dad died and 2 of his siblings, its probably why the songs so good THE MANS GOT HEART!

[alienresistant]

one of the best tracks in hip hop!

[goldentrophy]

Deepest track I ever heard from R.A and the fact he added top notch elite lyricism and a complex flow on a track with a deep concept not only takes a crazy amount of skills but is extremely difficult as well. Most lyricist can only be lyrical when the track is about nothing but when they have a deep song there lyricism is weak but not with R.A

[CwalkThugLife]

One of the best lyricist alive , not to mention what a fuckin sick flow he has.

[Matthew1e]

Is this fan made?

[Abonald]

@Matthew1e nahh real shit

cuz that john thornburn dude is real

he died

and then they made this

[theInfamous3]

@Abonald john thornburn is his dad..

[Abonald]

@theInfamous3 SEROUSLY?!?!

[theInfamous3]

@Abonald calm down yo, thought you didn't know.

[PAVETHAEARTHRECORDS]

very DEVASTATING verse friend

[4888953]

the songs good but the vid looks so unserious ... :S

[slipperypete619]

@4888953 ...what did you think the lyrics were about? Disneyland?

[kolisionn]

shit man, thats fucking sad how at the end pictures come up of all r.as family and it says that vincent john andrew only lived for 5 months

[TristanMODZ]

R.A. The Rugged Man = Greatest Flowing Hip-Hop, A Fuckin' Legend.

[CKnight94]

Im lovn rugged man

[darkbuster1]

This song is a lyricalistic masterpiece

[gen0xide]

R.A. BARRACUS

[ToYoLTHOR]

All Hail R.A The Rugged Man !

[abemkesa]

nothin to say... just tears...

[msnikish1]

my uncle was in the war and that agent orange made my cousin come out slow and now he is sick with all types of problems

[Pyram1dH3ad]

One of the greatest verses in hip-hop ever. Almost 2 minutes of solid lyricism and delivery... Not to mention a true story. I have to say though that it's a deeper experience listening to the track without the video. Nothing wrong with it necessarily, but the lyrics paint a perfect picture on their own. Great fucking track. People need to turn off that mainstream radio shit and treat their ears to some real hip-hop.

[Bo6us]

@Pyram1dH3ad Yeah imagination is better than someone painting the picture for you.

[Pejorativez]

@Pyram1dH3ad

"True story...

Call me Thorburn, John H. Staff Sergeant, Marksman

Skilling, killing, illing

I'm able and willing

Kill a village elephant, rapin' and pillage your village

Illegitimate killers, US Military guerillas"

Man, the way he opens this song is sick.

Also, notice how RA's godlike abilities break through at 0:54->"

[adzzi1]

@Pyram1dH3ad fuck yeh man 100% agree with ya 1 of the all time greatest hip hop tracks ever written, Ruggered Man is a fuckin legend!

[HotAsCurry]

6 people " accidentally " clicked the dislike button

[bartjuhh12]

where has vinnie paz gone?

[msnikish1]

@bartjuhh12 did you see the movie "Bad Biology" with vinnie paz , remedy , RA, j zone????? its funny i just saw it on neflix

[RCJPistolPete89]

Thats an insane case of PTSD

[WodanBlog]

I always wondered why music artists don't make music videos for old tracks...

RA flips the game, I'd like to have so many videos from 90's that don't exist.

[WhizzleRockFM]

this guy BEEN a fuckin monster...

[rickrude757]

Look man Imma Ol' school fan raised up on biggie, big L and nas. I know RA been doing his thing for a while, but I gotta give the boy mad props. First of for telling Mayweather what real boxing fans what they wanted to tell him for years. Secondly carring on tradition of all the great hip hop dudes. I hope he gets the respect that eminem gets eventually cause hes just as nice n' been doing it longer. Im not white but mad props go out to you dog keep doing your thang.

[konvictmuzik34]

R.A The Rugged Man is the shit! You can't Fuck with him he is amazing ! Sad song R.A been tru too much god bless him! His lyric murder anyone he had the best inthis song! The reason why they don't blow up is because they don't want to be big that what a true rapper is!

[cinavenom1]

Is this the best video ever?

[KraftTV]

I remember the first time I heard this track, it really opened my eyes. This video just blew my mind.

[SteveZ1988]

[3stealthcow]

[libanesebeirut]

[robertito836]

i was a fan of r.a.12 years ago and still.but this video is disappointing.this could have easily been the best video ever,do to the crazy true lyrics.if you dont have the funds dont bother, to mess up something that had the potiental of being the best video ever

[Creap0fluigi]

@robertito836 what r u talking about, this video is raw

[mrtony80]

I've heard several white rappers from NYC that are better than Eminem...I'm surprised no white rapper from New York has ever blown up.

[718Mo]

[azmusic2004]

Dope TraCk, Sick Lyrics, Crazy Video!!!

[mrtony80]
