The Evil That Men Do - Ras Kass

[arayagerardo]

Last night while baked at around 2am I heard one of the most intense shootouts like 5 min away from my house that lasted for about 2 minutes then all of a sudden this chorus kept repeating itself in my head >But every nigga on my block, can't stop, and he won't stop, and he don't stop

[arayagerardo]

@arayagerardo that PR for you

This is a classic example of a haunting hardcore rap song, love it.

[SparadicMathematic]

my favorite solo LP EVER.

I don't think it is the best, but you can argue it to be one of the top 5 solo LPs ever.

FUCK PRIORITY RECORDS !! lol

[Escobar197]

damn i need to know the sample of this track, i know the drums are from the kool is back drum break, but if someone know the other sample please tell me

[Badfellah]

This is in my eyes the best biography ever in rap history - and maybe music history. It is written without filter. He explains how he went through life, what he remembers and truly knows still how he was as a person. There is no moral preaching what so ever! It is facts, how he experienced it as he lived it and only "drops a moral bomb" in the very end. I think "I covered my ass with baby powder..." is maybe the strongest line I have ever heard in rap. And his fathership explanation is raw.

[oneindachamber]

I dont know but I have a feeling Ras Kass also had a family member in the black panther. Yep I think he is Hip Hops Eldridge Cleaver.

[feringard]

life is a bitch.. fuck it.. so true

[Badfellah]

@feringard - I don't think you understood. He was going through the story as he saw it. Much of it isn't pretty. But like he says in the end - "I look at myself and see every other nigga I knew" - sums it all up. The "Life is a bitch, so fuck it", was what he thought at the time. And though it partly is true, Ras Kass is not meaning to send this message out. He tells it how it was, without filter. That makes it so real, but most people should note that this is no life to lead.

[XXAK57XX]

This song really hits home .The chorus alone speakes volumes on what its like growin up in the hood looking at your peers in the process.

[gdeep783]

every track on Soul On Ice is classic...such a slept on album...unfortunately Lil Wayne albums go 2-3 x platinum while a lot of people still don't know about this album

[pimpninja1985]

No rapper today can compare to this lyrical beast. A work of art......

[pimpninja1985]

You can just feel his pain

[IanGranda]

never respected women just had to keep my dick wet

[NightmareKingz]

Though Ras Kass lyrics were always outstanding, he never blew up because his flow was weak.

[nemesis700]

haha thats wild son. his flow was crazy. you aint heard etc?

[luky05loser]

my highschool years.. taught me how to rap, along with Atliens, It was written,Soul on Ice!!!!!!

[illmanner818]

this album is one of the illest! real shit! one of my top 10 mc's!

[iMReCKLeSS22]

This May Be The Best Ever Song In Hip-Hop, Along With The Saddest

[01thrilla]

This is such a good track eiiish i never fully listened to Ras Kass heard his name brought up but this guy is seriouslyyy DOPE cant belive what im hearing 

[Pillage7]

I feel you on this Ras.

Word up, the track has everything from struggle to social issues.

[poltronafrau]

ras kass personifies the downfall of hiphop. smart, creative, streetwise at first, and degraded to some gunslinging, game-dissing, west coast 'ryder'

[jnorth]

@poltronafrau: Never looked at him that way. Very true.

[CiyaDe]

Soul On Ice, the most underrated album ever

[bosman1988]

This cat has always been flying under the radar. Some cats just don't get the credit when it's due... Sucks.

[Nigger115]

@CiyaDe nah but it's up there in the top 5 with doe or die,it was written,the realness,and jeanius

[iwillknifeya]

@CiyaDe Just look at the ratings according to wikipedia, like 5/5's, 10/10's. Just did not get into the mainstream I guess. Great song and album though. Brutal.

[MrGMagnum]

this nigga i can label him unofficially but really he is incomparable ,he uses tough beats ,as also big l did ,this is rap ,depend on one way of beats ,& having an own tongue .

[Driftdojo]

1:24 is the deepest line in rap history imo.

soul on ice is so dope and deep and underrated. everyone should listen to it. the whole thing is a mindfuck for many people including me.

[whut5000]

Hell yeah, This album is amazing

[nemesis700]

'im lookin at myself and seeing every other nigga that i knew'

[StreetRocaFella]

alot of what he says in this song, i experienced, cept my mom left when I was 6 and went crazy, my uncles and aunts die, alot of my family on my moms side is in the pen or on the streets, my dad was abusive for a couple of years then i left too.. fuck even though ras talks about the white man bad in certain songs, he still reaches my soul.

[captaincookiemonster]

I graduated from Carson High School..Ras Kass is in my humble opinion the only true hip-hop artist from Los Angeles......

[ZeroHourComes]

this song is so deep. theres so many loose phrases in here that mean something totally different to me.

[Kabman89]

this song always puts my mind in deep thought.

[GISamurai]

This is one of the illest albums of all time. No question!!

[bchilian]

This album is a classic. Love 90s hip hop.

[robinlue2008]

hes like a cross breed of ice cube and KRSONE

[TRIPLESIXSICCNESS]

krs nor cube can hang with RAS KASS,

[ThaFlyestMoor72]

Come on man Don't do that they're all dope and Kris is one of the best period. And Ice Cube is wicked

[TRIPLESIXSICCNESS]

oh they are both nice, kris is a great pioneer of hip-hop, but Ras Kass is on a lige of his own.

[Stupeaz]

This was an album that I could listen to from Begining to end .

[luciferghost]

ras kass joined g-unit

wtf u talking about

[sfknns]

wtf who said that

[faill]

the only thing that has stopped me listening to rass kass is the fact he joined g-unit. he was one of the best lyrical mc's that existed, nature of the threat, order out of choas. just lost all respect for him now but still soul on ice is his best material!!!

[rhighland]

he never joined liar- plus the unit is one of the last labels thats safe to release gangsta shit. Look what mobb, mop and spider did. they put out the music they feelin, on a label that knows how to push product

[sfknns]

he never joined g-unit man get your fatcs staight

[happyendy]

hahaha wtf r u talking about....

[milton520]

this song is deep...its really inspiring

[choseneliteigu]

this album is sooooooooo dope..i forgot who did his beats. he need to get with same dude for future projects

[elidagod]

Another ill track from Ras Kass soul on ice is in my top 5 albums nice man thanks once more.

[370ben370]

I love this track cus ras really goes personal. Something we dont see too much from him

[TheAbyssinia]

Soul on Ice, Liquid Swords and The Diary, deepest and greatest Albums ever.

[poodymac63]

Damn... thats a dope ass list. I fucks with it to the fullest

[lvskshyne]

nice albums real nice

[Shadow155]

Yeah, every winter I put on my hoodie and take a walk listening to LS and Soul On Ice on my iPod. Good albums to listen to and just think about the world, especially this song. I turn off the lights at night and look out the window at the moon and everything Ras says in this song I picture; the part where he wrecks the car, covering himself in baby powder, god is white, etc.

[Hueyfreeman871]
