PURE FUCKIN GENIUS.. I remember this shit in 95 when I used to live in Miami... I thought he was from NY... Ras is sicker than a nigga with STDs and the Swine Flu
@trademark1989est This track was produced by Vooodu, who did most of his older songs, they were in the same group called Western HemisFEAR, this song was also co-produced by Ras Kass.
this is probably one of the best tracks dude has ever done but that fucking mandingo lyric has always bothered me. he rejects kriss kringle on the basis of his cultural mandingo-ness then in the very next fucking line condemns him by calling him, uh, satan. has ras kass ever made sense for an entire song
can someone give me to the link for this becuz i tryed download it off the info on this video but it said that it couldnt be found can someone help plz
This beat alone screams "I'm from New York!!!". I assumed he was from the East Coast when I first heard him. When I heard he was from the WC i was like "the fuck?"
@PlatinumBD a lot of LA beat heads were deep into NYC shit back in the 90s.. everyone from Dr Dre to the World Famous Beat Junkies, Cut Chemist.. all did mixtapes with NY shit being a huge influence
on the flip side a lot of NYC dudes felt the WC style.. like Beat Nuts
@eyesea whoah the west coast has their own style that is equally as great as NYC. It goes both ways both coasts were influenced by each other. Lets not get biased.
My favorite track offa the soul on ice demo, found this disc back in like 99 when i was 12..been knockin it eva since, ras kass in my top 10 lyricists easy.
Ras Kass uses his vocabulary like a weapon. One of the most well-worded emcees to do it. I can't tell you how many times I have ran to the dictionary, after listening to one of his songs.
@BillStrasser hahah got a question for you, BillStrasser- or anyone else who can answer it for that matter. What the hell does guaduct mean? He says it at 1:53, I never have to look up words but even google won't tell me that one
Nah! It's from A Christmas song by Bing Crosby. Nat King Cole could have also done it along with alot of other crooners! But I beleive Bing did it first! Peace!
i use to have the promo cassete this was on back in high shcool. the b side had a song called won't catch me running with this sade sample in the hook. classic dopeness
dude ras kass is above like 90% rappers levels cuz hes like a genious but usually he raps about stuff thats personal and doesnt make sense to other people like canibus.. i personally think apathy from jedi mind tricks, canibus and ras kass have similar styles
Soul On Ice is a classic... Ras Kass is a lyrical beast... BUT, does anyone agree that he has SEVERELY fallen off since he came out of jail... his style, delivery, flow and lyrics have all gone WAY down hill... Damn Shame! I'm still waitin for the Golden State Warriors Project! Why did that never happen when Xzibit and Ras were in their prime... Saafir is ill too, sounds like Roc from Heltah Skeltah...
ras kass top 5 of all time lyrically. soul on ice was a top 5 classic filled with knowledge, metaphors, and lyrical complexities beyond the average man understanding.
One of the illest tracks of all time... But hey, where can I find that picture? I was going to upload an old Kass song which would fit perfect with it, but I can't seem to find it
One of my favorite Ras Kass songs. This was also released as a 12'' with Anything Goes remix on the B side. The quality is obviously better than the one from the sampler tape.
ras kass, please take your lyrical compexities back about a decade, with a new year's twist. whoever can get in contact with him, please tell him immediately to turn it up a notch. I should've never heard his early works!
