[Thirdsonmusic]

The greatest rapper of all time. R.A The Rugged Man.

[fonkymaster]

Affects?

You mean EFFECTS?

[PachucoDesigns]

@fonkymaster Yup. He must.

[TwiztidED]

guys plz read the story behind this awesome video

[TwiztidED]

best shit ever.

god take god give

[IrishPalestinianDude]

I feel bad for him all his family members died :/

[ShaneTVtime]

sickest rap ever

[yronklaw]

DAMN!

[lutionary3i]

God Take, God Give

[mizz2dope]

Fresh !



[MrJob24]

nice rap



[gogfool54]

dam RA IS A BEAST HIS RHYMS ARE ILL AS FUCK you have to be a real gangster to spit 3 minute long verse

[dutchmasterchief2]

@gogfool54 a gangster? lol no an underground rapper yes

[holsterboy166]

Vietnam War was no fucking joke.Agent Orange fucked up a lot of people's[Vietnamese and Americans]lives.RA even admitted that he's mentally unstable because of his father's contact with Agent Orange.

[S0ulR3bl]

Gawwwwd....Daammnn!



[RkoSerbia]

he is without a doubt most underrated rapper ever, and this verse is one of the rap verses ever

too bad he couldn't get Vinnie Paz to do his part of the song on this video

[generalwise]

the video really does not do the song justice. but yesah I agree this is pretty much the best rap verse ever. It was pretty much his fathers story of fighting in vietnam. fucking epic use of rap.

[jpribbleNY1]

SAMPLE?!

[Ex3cution3rX]

i think this is easily the best written rap verse ever

[WraithTheSlayer]

This is real shit not 2 pac , biggie and other overrated '' rappers '' . so... ''Rap ain't about bustin caps and fuckin bitches / It's about fluency with rhymin ingenuity ''

[AlexLoeher]

@WraithTheSlayer well i appreciate the Del reference, saying that 2pac and biggie "arent real and are overrated" is simply absurd. its like saying something for pure shock value. both are actually very good rappers, not to take anythng from Del or RA. if you want to call out a rapper then say Lil B or Soulja Boy or something like that. dont call out legends.

[blibbityblahtrick]

@AlexLoeher You say Biggie and Tupac are legends. Why, if I may ask? Because everybody else thinks they are? Because everybody else said they are?

Biggie had some great wordplay, and Tupac had the voice to go with the flow, but Honestly HONESTLY. I dont see them as legends. They started off in the game and got shot. How many other rappers does that qualify? RIP to Both of them, but you cant make new music Dead. Theyve stopped bringing hits, which takes them out of the game completely

[AlexLoeher]

@blibbityblahtrick they might have been more famous after being shot, but they both were highly acclaimed rappers before then. because they were good, not for any ignorant reason you might try to come up with. Tupac made meaningful songs to connect with people, not unlike this song. Biggie was just an overall good rapper. to say an artist isnt good because they no longer are making music is idiotic, theyre dead lol. Tupac still puts out music and shits on your arguement

[AlexLoeher]

@blibbityblahtrick everyone's entitled to their own opinion and i could see if you just said you didnt like either of them. unfortunately, you gave the worst possible reason to discredit an artist so your opinion sucks. people need to stop being thinking that you cant listen to the mainstream if you listen to underground. its a superficial way of listening to hip hop

[blibbityblahtrick]

@AlexLoeher There are people in the game this very day, that are far beyond Tupac or Biggie in the rap game and every aspect about it. Its just my opinion. But Biggie and Tupac might be the two most OVERRATED rappers of all time. yes they are good, Im not denying this. But when is the last time you've heard someone talking about Biggie or Tupac, that they dont make it sound like their radio spit out a million dollars in 50s when they put in the CD

[SlimRikkosz]

@blibbityblahtrick i can agree with you,, RA the Rugged Man is in my opinion way better then tupac

[WraithTheSlayer]

@AlexLoeher Sorry white only.

[Silent1spector4]

.....BAPPT!!!

[Silent1spector4]

Wow that is the best rap lyric ever..! And if you don't think so click click.. :)

[arjahnm]

Name one on that above list of just 12 that RA the Rugged Man is better than,

[Ramirxz]

Jesus christ I get a Lil wayne advertisement when I'm tryna listen to R.A., even when I wanna listen to the good shit i gotta go thru wayne

[squarecracker]

He reminds of the brother from Bullet

[TheAdoboKing]

R.A. live Thurs March 8th at BOWERY POETRY CLUB NYC!!!!!

[BrothersAnonymous]

everything about this song is amazing.. but this video is just stupid. id rather look at a black screen

[StopostoMC]

@BrothersAnonymous I think you have a wrong perception about this video, it wants to represent how stupid it is to go to war and to shoot at other human being because someone told you to do that.. it also reflects the pure emotions of this true story..

[magneighto]

Sweet flow, but I can't take him serious because of his face.

[ComboNational]

Holy multis....

[SlimRikkosz]

togetter with dance with the devil by immortal technique, best song i've ever heard

[verbalswordsman]

@SlimRikkosz Immortal Technique, Eyes in the sky. Youtube that, and that's an order soldier.

[SlimRikkosz]

[verbalswordsman]

@SlimRikkosz If you check your channel I posted that you should forget about my comment. I realized that when I saw the track posted.

[TrueSomename]

@smdMAnigguhs little known fact, RAs big inspiration was big L believe it or not.

[dhev183]

did this man actually go to war?

[Deschmarquezproducti]

@dhev183 No, John Thorburn is his father. R.A. is one of his healthy children.

[Jakesthename1000]

@dhev183 its about his dad

[McNiceGuyDevice]

"the enemy's the northvietnamese - bitch please" ruins everything for me..

[motiondemons]

TRUTH TRACK, DOPE :)

[Rudedogg0]

So real.

[alaan991]

best song by RA, the story is so deep and well lyrically writ.

[beepbeepbeepBWAAAAHH]

[Strai9htTok3dg3]

By far one of the illest and realest songs i have ever heard in my life...gives me chills everytime

[gibememoni]

When biggie says you can spit......you can fucking spit

[ElScorpio101]

R.A. is just sick...this verse is so crazy that it even manages to stand out on a perfect JMT album

[ericrich05]

WTF WERES VINNIE?

[Vatlol]

@jemslayer3 not in this song

[gibememoni]

This track has got to be in the top 5 best of all time

[OgamiItto502]

When people start running their mouths about "best rapper ever", they always forget about this man, and its a goddamn shame.

[thagrammarnazi]

@OgamiItto502 It's usually Eminem -_-

[Eziokilla9595]

@OgamiItto502 He's a great lyricist, but he's far from the best ever. DRMD was above average, but not particularly great. Same with his other releases. His feature verses are great, but he can't hold down an album by himself. He's far from the greatest.

[suppawill]

@OgamiItto502 no its cuz they dont listen to this man

[Madskillz4201]

@OgamiItto502 your correct.. And he been out and around making tracks since before Biggy, BigL, Before Tupac was a dancer for Digital Underground, etc ,etc.. I think around 1986 he started doing his thing? Never got high, dranked ( a litttle I think, smoked cigs, etc.. That come out his own fathers mouth! I got no reason to believe he was lying!

[Vatlol]

Lets spell R.A. The Rugged Man

[GoldenSunz22]

why would u dislike this?fucking fags

[hellboytellydr]

[shootznskore]

[RawrInYawrHeart]

[gcorrigan5]

Under rated much?

[Swehlik]

'cause in life god take god give

[fuckthetories]

man, when I found out this was about his dad, i got really sad. it was already a mad depressing song

[StarCraftRaver]

You see this shit...this is what you call real fucking Hip Hop.

Immortal Tech, Lowkey Rugged Man.

Hip Hop still lives.

[KitchenerBombSquad]

do not google agent orange... most disgusting thing ive ever seen, whoever created the chemical will burn in hell for eternity

[FlippyTripSkateTeam]

@KitchenerBombSquad the us government developed agent orange i did a paper on it i agree with you 100%

[theonewhofailed]

R.A. Thorburn. That's his real name. Go figure whose father he's rapping about

[R4NZ1D]

possibly one of the best verses ever written...R.A. is one of the most lyrical emcee's of all time

[wear0ner]

@R4NZ1D just pun and him !

[R4NZ1D]

@wear0ner they took kool g raps style and flipped it man

[wear0ner]

@R4NZ1D are you sure ? ...

[R4NZ1D]

@wear0ner listen to lesson R.A himself gives props to kool g rap... he has stated in interviews KGR is the best

[muz554]

@R4NZ1D  i agree yo he is most lyrical dude ive heard thats underground muchhh loveee to RA BROOKLYN ALL DAY!!!!

[ibrowzbmx4life]

funny thing is, r.a is talkin about his father.

[SilkySkillsUnited]

I love this song. Vinnie's heavy voice really sets the mood and makes it heavy. Then RA's verse just fucks up your head.

[MrThejake14]

This guy is pretty good. Just doesnt have as much flow. This is better than many songs. People don't want to hear about this stuff though. The song isnt as catchy as eminems. Sorry.

[mckdylan69]

@MrThejake14 eminem i so weak now tho

[IronMindedGods]

@MrThejake14 What are you talking about? RA is renowned for his UZI-esque flow.

[ThePsychoToaster]

@MrThejake14 What does Eminem have to do with this?

[SCRUBNINJA91]

@MrThejake14 Real hip hop heads wanna hear this... When you say people you must mean Lil Wayne fans....

[OrlandoARitroso]

PedroRed Spaccaaaaaaa!!!!!!

[jozix1111]

[koopaking45]

]`= Fuck Wars

[mrsrachealbaker]

This song hit my dad hard. my dad was a sergant in Vietnam and he saw two of his best friend's heads get blown off right in front of him. This video sent chills to him.

[Sh1pWrecker]

Why isn't this guy signed to Rhymesayers?



[DeathKnightsCow]

@Sh1pWrecker he wants to have freedom not sell his soul for a few bucks listen to his interviews

[PatrickJCallaghan]

watch youtube.com/watch?v=qzRoZahzTR­k

[CallMeMrMiyagi]

@wgregorios Agreed. What's your name? Who's yo daddy? haha. For sure man! I like bits and pieces and the pieces may not agree with my sensibilities but the production makes me pick and listen again and again. Take it easy man.

[ninjadocktor1]

xD WTF

[Bmer9301027]

now if that aint real rap i dont know what the fuck is

[AFIAyanna78]

ILLLLLLLLLLLL!

[Justatoxicmemory]

So this is just the verse from uncommon valor on the JMT album? Or Did this come out first?

[TrollMead]

@Justatoxicmemory : This is just Rugged Man's part of the whole song that was originally released on the JMT album "Servants in Heaven, Kings in Hell". Go search for "Uncommon Valor: A Vietnam Story" in Wikipedia for more information. (YouTube won't let me attach links)

[stinogrimsby]

@TrollMead youtube.com/watch?v=7r0KpWMNxn­M

[TrollMead]

@stinogrimsby : Doesn't work.

[RickGibbonsOfficial]

Crazy verse here, and he's actually talking about something other than how big his dick is or how he robs people or some cliched shit like that.

[TheBacilica]

props to R.A.

[3emang]

best song

[MrTrapanzano]

big up



[DJLyniv]

I show this to everybody who says Rap sucks. They only say that because of Lil Waynes, Soulja Boys and wiz khalifas(<-new) Music.

[avvid007]

@DJLyniv wiz aint that bad whit snoop

[taipohh]

@DJLyniv

the names you named they aint rappers, they are some sort of sick unknown pointless talentless media hyped Peafowls....

[tehpeasant]

@DJLyniv Ye... I'm actually more into Metal (or maybe I'm not anymore(?)) and I fucking hate all this trash-talking about rap. But I wouldn't even call Lil Wayne a rapper...

[HerrStekarn]

@DJLyniv Personally i don't think you should put Wiz Khalifa in the same group of rappers as Lil Wayne and Soulja boy :p Wiz have good songs.

Maybe not as deep as this, but still alot of good songs ^_^

[bskdopeboy]

@DJLyniv No fuckin doubt! And I often do the same haha :)

[mando18]

@DJLyniv i show this to people when they say lil wayne and drake are lyrical. mainstream sucks man. stay up

[Childman64]

1:12 lol. The rugged man made this song amazing. Without him it'd be decent but he makes it amazing

[dutchmasterchief2]

@wgregorios this songs better... plus its bases on a real story rambo and necro are fake

[NCtelli113]

ill have to say i dont like rugged mans style or most the songs he does but this shit was pure fire he killed it

[pjSouthPark]

r a REAL AMERICAN

[TheUKog]

if this was any better my mind would explode... WOW is the only word to describe it

[aktolman]

This is too good...

[splitskillsthatkills]

What happened to the first verse of the other rapper?

[potfarmer420]

@splitskillsthatkills - Thats JMT so they cut it for just R.A verse.....

[grburch]

1: R.A. is like the rap version of that Micro Machines guy from the 1980's. 2: The 67 dislikers couldn't escape Agent Orange.

[IsRockThe]

I dont like Rap, but this is deep

[fearlessftw]

@IsRockThe This is real rap, the corporations tried to destroy music and hip hop by buying up all the major labels and letting only artists promoting their agenda (materialism, sexuality) while blocking anyone trying to put their voice out. Check out Vinnie Paz, Immortal Technique, Akala, Lowkey. All good rappers yet to be allowed anywhere in the mainstream.

[IsRockThe]

@fearlessftw yeah thats true Vinnie Paz And Immortal are sick!

[fearlessftw]

@IsRockThe Check even those British rappers (Lowkey and Akala) they are sick as well and so underrated

[reekodo]

@IsRockThe Agreed. You don't have to be obsessed with hip-hop to be moved by this.

[Robootification]

This song sends shivers.

[Eziokilla9595]

What is R.A.'s best album?

[41354N4]

How the fuck can someone dislike this? Man, this is the deepest song ever written and spoken.

[alejandroayala96]

This song went too deep

[E10comedy]
