R.A. the Rugged Man remembers Notorious B.I.G.

[redcomic619]

My left ear enjoyed this.

[TetrapakProdzekt]

i would love to hear rugged, biggie, big punisher and big l - on the same track ! because they are lyrically and technically the best ever

[Samuelmark357]

HELL NAH!!! THE CUNT REN. SONG WAS WHAT TURNED ME ON TO RA AND I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BEST SHIT SINCE SLICE BREAD WHEN I HERD IT SO, NOW THAT I KNOW THE STORY BEHIND IT IT MAKES IT 10 TIMES BETTER!!! FUCKING RIGHT RA THAT LABEL TRYING TO TURN YOU OUT JUST CAUSE YOU WAS GONNA MAKE A TRACK WITH BIG.... FUCK THAT CUNT !!!

[MrJyero27]

R.A iis a legend def one of my favourite rappers! and to all u other people out there we have plenty of mc's here in Australia that are fuckin dope- Damo, he has done work with canibus. if u look him up on youtube you have to type in "Damo hip hop". other mc's include Mantra, Brad Strut, Trem one, Maundz, Vents. checkout Rappertag the concept really went well here

[millwalllion5]

r.a is a fucking legend it's just nice to see a mc that's so down to earth and real for once and in my opinion the g.o.a.t if he aint in anyones top 5 at least ur fucking retarded

[TrueSomename]

@millwalllion5 i agree pure talent underrated like canibus.

[TheRealR2D2ott]

My right ear is lonely af

[Mystikal22693]

yea he started rapping off the top in '96 when he saw that jay-z did it and had his verse done for Brooklyn's Finest. Biggie was like hell no and he started writing in his mind after that

[Shoeburysfinest87]

RA is fuckin real !

[CassusBeli]

Amazing, I have the tune from back when but to hear how it came about is brilliant.

I'm sick of all the dogshit that passes for Hip Hop these days.

R.A. is a trooper, good health to him.

[yosh9376]

LMAO

@Doughboy1871 - Cunt renaissance

[Doughboy1871]

What the song at the beginning?

[brainsick213]

wat a story

[morsea30]

big up.......to the RA

[SCPF]

I rip your cunt down with a spoon! ahah R.A is definitly the illest mc ever!

[ReverendGreen27]

@xxgrant54xx Hopsin isn't on Rugged Mans level

[jskyl14]

@ReverendGreen27 nah deadass ra stated hes going to collab with hopsin lol

[xxgrant54xx]

R.A HOPSIN COLLAB

[chumbucket206]

@xxgrant54xx It would be dope but RA would shit on hopsin.

[Qonvex]

@xxgrant54xx ROFL are you joking me ?? Those guys are leagues apart from each other, the rawness that RA has can't be touched. Having some guy who has corny rhymes spit alongside RA would just be stupid.

[xxgrant54xx]

@Qonvex They ARE collabing.. they both said it. Hopsin doesnt have corny rhymes either.

[Blaze264]

Listening to these Rugged man interviews.. im just respectin him more and more.

[MrCommenterguy]

@Peter258 words of wisdom

[Flickpeak]

Can i borrow a Dvd?

[drdrefan4ever]

@Flickpeak just buy the album and u'll get it ;) its great.. songs are sick as fuck and on the dvd are music videos, movie trailer for r.a.'s horror-comedy film and interviews.. BUY

[Flickpeak]

@drdrefan4ever Good call, the albums sick!

[mcDerk12]

I have respect for RA but hes stupid big would listen to a beat leave smoke, come back with the verse in his head, if he wrote his shit how do u explain his nasty free to the song victory

[jekenstam2]

Haha I always said big n jay didn't spit solely off The head like they say

[4High2Times0]

dude looks baked

[bostonkalloway]

"What? Biggie wasnt that good whem you met him? Nigga he was better than you at 17 years old.... HE DID NOT WRITE HIS RHYMES ON PAPER, STOP HATING DAWG. THATS WHY BIGGIE BLEW UP, HE DIDNT" GOAT BIGGIE SMALLS

[onn1320]

@bostonkalloway

But he's not hating.

[katez160]

@bostonkalloway he said that he thot he was better at the time because he had an ego

[Peter258]

@bostonkalloway damn man... u got a lot to learn.. there aint no GOAT rapper.. there are great and legends but noone is a GOAT... just cause someone blew up dont mean shit. ur saying drake is a better rapper then big l? and u have no fucking legit evidence of him not writing rhymes... u sit here taking shit protecting biggie who does not give 1 fucking shit about u and u somehow say he was better at 17... nigga u a ignorant piece of shit

[tonyteb]

PIC OF JACK JHONSON

[onn1320]

Who is ocanelly? - I heard their name mentioned on ATCQ song, but never knew who that was.

[Madlyrics]

@onn1320 it's akinyele

[onn1320]

@Madlyrics

Thanks.

[blazecyberman]

damn i never thought id like another white boy but eminem but R.A you illin on some mainstream niggas keep going but is sayin every record label sucks dick gunna help your carreer?

[onn1320]

@blazecyberman

Record Labels blackballed him before he could get his career off the ground. - He's not the first to diss record labels. - The GZA has a song dissing record labels, I even heard ATCQ dissing a few. I don't think doing the reverse and sucking a record labels dick is going to help RA and he knows this so he's content - Not because of this, but he's happy being in the position he's in.

[ZFresh504]

@blazecyberman plenty of other white Mc's that tear shit up man. I wish everyone would get off Eminem's dick.

[FBFS072]

@ZFresh504 Trust there's plenty white Mcs over here in the UK that would rip eminem's cunt out with a spoon.

[TrueSomename]

@ZFresh504 i wish people would stop dissing him so much.

[MrDeStRoYeD55]

lol "big rip the twat all the way down to the asshole" and

"il rip u cunts out with a spoon" (dont know if thats right but similar)

classic joint

[xTheUn4gIVen]

4 people got their cunts ripped out with a spoon

[AliCee0000]

R.A and Em should make a song... but only Ems oldschool shit, his new stuff is terrible.

[vvaannddaallll]

@AliCee0000

lol

[myn021]

@AliCee0000 Check out the new BME i think you will like it, alot better then that Recovery bullshit.

[ZFresh504]

@AliCee0000 yea if he spit Infinite type shit. it would be pretty gnarly but that will never happen. Plus R.A. would just destroy the whole song himself and no one would care about Slims verse. haha.

[toast213]

Big is ONE of the greatest (R.I.P) Pac is ONE of the greatest (R.I.P) notice i never say THE GREATEST, because there is alway room for improvment. I LOVE big n pac but sorry to say they are gone, they cant push the culture any farther then they already did, and i used to think mainstreem was pretty dope back when it was T.I and ludacris still rockin the air waves (when they first jumped off) but not any more, now i only really fucks with underground cuz thats the purest hiphop out there period.

[XXGDUBSXX]

Who cares If biggie said this or that for or not for money I can personally say R.A. is ill and thats all that truly matters is your own perception.

[brvlrdtv]

WUT DA FUCK IS WRONG WIT HIS SHAPE-UP?!?!?!

[GodsWingz]

@intent100 The R.A. paid him money quote is a fake interview which is a non published farce. No magazine published it because it doesnt exist and its not real. it is internet nonsense that only circulated online way after Biggie was dead because a dead man cant deny what he never said but idiots like yourself take lies you read on the internet as fact.

[intent100]

@GodsWingz idiots like myself hmm the interview was 100% real U FUCKING DUMBASS LOL

[chipz100]

Biggie exact quote when referring to R.A. "I thought I was the illest" .. End of story.

He never said he worked with R.A. for money. He respected R.A. and knew that he was the best.

[intent100]

@chipz100 in a interview with fans he was asked about his feelings on other rappers and what he rated them out of 10 he said r.a was a 3 maybe a 4 they paid him alot of money 2 do a song with him big said and he said the beat was banging u can thump me down all u want but its the truth

[bosman1988]

@chipz100 I think the reason why the actual quote has been so misunderstood is that the second "I" is never italicized. In all these interviews, R.A. puts emphasis on the "I" to suggest that Biggie thought he was iller.

[djkrueger6]

lmao..."It would've just been one of those forgotten ass biggie joints"...

I dont think he realized what he said...

If anything "Cunt Renessiance" is abit harder to find than the joint with Da Brat..

I remember Big sayin, he only fucked with R.A. because the label R.A. was on paid Biggie alotta money. If they hadn't of paid him that much, he wouldn't of messed with em, period..rofl

[CoolGuy95ya]

Underground's where its at now

[gangstamind187]

I wonder if RA has heard of Prince Ea.. Prince Ea is hands the down the best young rapper that not too many ppl know about right now..check his music out

[187on50]

I went to NY to see Jedi Mind Tricks and R.A

He played a song that said " Fuck all the radio stations" I think it was an old underground hit but I'm not sure what song it was and by who

anyone have any ideas?

thanks

[illriginalized]

@187on50 Fuck all record labels. lol

[mest982]

R.A...king of rap

[Phazeey]

@lyndon19 LOL, kid cudi in the top five. your funny.

[FranchiseII]

@Phazeey Kid Cudi isn't bad, is just shouldn't be put in that category.

[VESSEL1991]

why do you have so many fuckin dvd's lol

[ackapollo]

@VESSEL1991 dawg all 90s cats like teens in the 90s bvoiught shitload of dvds if thier were into hip hop no internet dawg until late 90s homie

[VESSEL1991]

@ackapollo yea but didnt dvd's come out in the early 2000's ??

[ackapollo]

@VESSEL1991 yah homie my bad DVDs came out late 90s and early 2000's, but basically up until 05 most niggas still call it the 90s, becuz music wise shit still sounded like 90s like Dre realesing 2001, the rise of Eminem and 50 Cent and sshit

[VESSEL1991]

@ackapollo yea u got a point there....the early 2000's was the last good moment in hip hop

[OfficialTribalKid]

damm i thought i had a big DVD collection , R.I.P Big and keep at it Rugged Man

[Brandonian3030]

jack johnson picture to the left...word

[Ostrasize]

@Brandonian3030 yeee

[313Odog]

the Notorious B.I.G. was quoted as saying "I thought I was the illest" when referring to R.A.

[Cieva12]

@313Odog

wow you found wikipedia

[313Odog]

@Cieva12 Man fuck you!!

[0escape0the0fate0]

@Cieva12 those where words from RA himself

[TheZeromix]

I love biggie and R.A as rappers but biggie said himself that R.A was better then him

[HeartBreakKid1996]

@TheZeromix he didn't, he said "damn, i thought i was ill" at the time of collaboration but he improved later on, i truly think he was best rapper to walk the earth

[BiggieSmalls11111]

@TheZeromix nice twisting of the words

[d0zi7]

If Biggie, Dilla, Big L, Pac, Guru, Pun all of em.. were still alive.. there would be no such thing as Wayne I bet or any of these whack DJ's.. I bet we'd be hearin' R.A. and many other underground rappers on the radio.. its kinda depressing.

[bigsteve0999]

@d0zi7 its depressing but at least these guys dont get hyped up like wayne, i lose respect when rappers get their asses kissed too much

[RohamK96]

@d0zi7 you never hear underground rappers on the radio. dats why its called underground...

[dubtaperecords79]

when I go back and listen to Biggie I'm like yeah he was kinda dope at times ... thats about it ...

[giantpandadude]

Can u send me some songs by R.A, I listened to uncommon valors, and I like the style. I also listen to nosebleed by R.A but that girl ruined the song

[jimmy6700]

Rugged man is waaaaay iller than biggie...

[BiggieSmalls11111]

@jimmy6700 in your opinion

[Projekt07]

RA needs to remaster and re-release night of the bloody apes! crustified dibbs like what!

[Gamebreaker2887]

Mad props to R.A., one of the most underrated emcees ever.

[5StarsForYouu]

"The white boy??!! The one that I did the jam with??? That's who you talkin' about? Two...might be a three, I did the song, they paid me a lot of money, that's why I did it. The beat was knockin'. " - this is biggie on rugged man.

[strindler234]

@5StarsForYouu nope

[HeartBreakKid1996]

@5StarsForYouu "I thought I was the illest,"- THIS is biggie on Rugged Man

[minhasc]

4:00 = favourite part, because you can tell he's reminiscing about the good old "Golden Age" of 90s hip hop...

[ThaWiseJester]

@minhasc True good point because Biggie has some forgotten songs that were underground like this one,but to see the song he did with Biggie 15 years later has to be a thrill for him awesome story,

[silentuch]

Ha ha.... when I 1st heard it, I sat back to with myself like, "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT! Now I have clarity...I don't know why I like this song...but I played it for my girl and laughed my ass off watching her face contort...LOL!!!! 

"...like kirk when the sperm spurts, I'm out bitch! You know what I'm about bitch, hit'em, quit'em, forget'em, fist fuck'em, dump'em in the truck an, find another (bit?) that licks dick to the tip, down to the asshole, lips red like Tabasco..." LOL

[ORSOLOKSGRAFF187]

It's that cat that made put in your mouth...

[moneymakerson22]

Idc if it's a dumb question, but who's ackaeli

[upinposting]

@moneymakerson22 he did a song called "put it in your mouth" that was big on the radio but he was also real big around the time Nas was first getting on in the early 90's. I believe hes on Live at the BBQ which is the song that is deemed the first coming of Nas.

[Shadow911m]

i dont like big dont know why but i just dont like him

[mimzi1]

Pac got the lyrics B I G got the floww....

[WrdSmt]

@mimzi1 And that are the onyl 2 rappers u know probally

[Zachrydaman]

Dis guy is nasty but i think nas is way better IMO but he is nasty i been jammin to alot of his shit lately but Nas is a living legend.

[DonutMilk5]

@Zachrydaman i feel the exact same way but R.A. is ill but nas is the best MCof all time

[MrVaughny21]

Legends

[BiggiEvsTupaC]

R.A The Greatest ALIVE!

B.I.G. The Greatest EVER!

[playboy91280]

@BiggiEvsTupaC B.I.G was a fucking legend but i personally like pac better. He has better lyrics.

[BiggiEvsTupaC]

@playboy91280 your opinion

[screwopenborders]

@BiggiEvsTupaC how is big the best ever? sounds like your parroting.

[BiggieSmalls11111]

@screwopenborders sounds like your hating

[screwopenborders]

@BiggieSmalls11111 hows that hating? Its just a friendly conversation on whos the best and its not big e smalls. if you have evidence to the fact that he is the best I would like to see it.

[BiggieSmalls11111]

@screwopenborders PLAYA.....HATA

[screwopenborders]

@BiggieSmalls11111 yep you nailed it.../facepalm

[BiggieSmalls11111]

@screwopenborders haha

[tkOznook]

@BiggiEvsTupaC WORD!

[RealKoolKid1]

@BiggiEvsTupaC no.

[lavabone]

@BiggiEvsTupaC R.A is better

[BiggiEvsTupaC]

@lavabone Yea my op has changed a bit since i wrote this comment

[jastgermain]

r.a. would have been great on break a bitch neck

[Bananarepublicboy]

At that time... 93/94 Wu Tang & Dre&Snoop ruled the game.

I'd like to hear R.A. with Ras Kass that'd be nice.

[cybersalad]

I used to have a really great remix of this song I got off Napster in like 99 or so. It was way better than the original--it had like a sampled singer saying "yeaaah" or something and almost a more jiggy type feel to it...but it made the some that much more ridiculous. I wish I could find that mix.

[WKaliberr]

Notorious F.A.T.

[WillDigges]

Dude Cunt renasaince was the first song I heard you spit on RA. It's still one of my favorite song, and now I know where ODB got his flow from, hahahha your ill bro

[Mesquissto]

yo am i the only one who cant hear this?

[devilryuNZ1]

I like this story on the dvd.

But my favorite part of the dvd, would probably be the story about his song "Smithhaven Mall". It is very interesting to hear what he was going through when he wrote that song.

[donbelow2]

what dvd? i started to listen to smithhavens mall lately and whould like to hear the story...

[devilryuNZ1]

There is a dvd that comes with the "Legendary Classics Collection". Basically, it has a bunch of music videos that R.A is in, an interview with his dad, and also a big interview, where he talks about all of the stories behind the songs on "Legendary Classics".

[donbelow2]

where can i get this dvd?

[OfficialFrizzo]

Very cool, RIP BIG.

[jesterman0488]

i would have loved to c big pun and R A on a track!!!! :D massive lyrical fire there!
