To this day, even with Busdriver and tons of others, I feel like this is the best live capture of LA hip hop circa mid-2010s. When he gestures for the camera to go back, perfection.
What I love about this is that his performance is its so relaxed. He has definition and a intensity in his voice but his face and body language is so calm lol
The first time I heard this guy was when he battlerapped with Nocando back in 09. Never knew he made music. I just happened to relive the past looking back and saw this on the recommendations.
Since I first heard this I've listened to it like 15 times and showed it to everyone I know. How is everyone else that's Seen this not doing that?! This Shit it's amazing 5k views is a joke
The Busdriver song he's referring to is Somethingness off of his older album "Temporary Forever" if anybody was wondering. Radioinactive is also featured on it. Pretty solid album
Nice! Yeah, seems like Kamal is doing his camera man thing pretty seriously so I don't know if we'll see another iteration of a radio inactive album for a bit.
Killed it once again... every song I've heard blows my mind. Please share this around. As the comments below say - why the hell is Wayne on the radio with this floating around. I'm upset it took me a month to find this, on my fourth time listening... in a row. Never quit Rhet.
Been watching Rheteric since the wrc07 days to the grindtime days and to watch him from them to now, dude is a strait up beast now. Shouts out rhet hes that dude.
hey lee! i love these podcasts! im hooked and im just letting you know people listen! i listen, thanks for these. love hearing about you and your life and getting to know other people that i would have never known about. thanks again! and thanks ben for making the shit sound butterryyy

I bump this shit loud every morning an hour before my apartment's approved noise time (I work overnight so 7 am is a perfectly fine time to be start being loud)
do some research on Project Blowed, The Good Life, and Freestyle Fellowship. MC's have been styling and chopping deliveries/cadences in California way before Tech 9 hit the scene. Rheteric is keeping that tradition of abstract styles alive.
the voice control + multiple cadences + sick lyrics = mind blown
Everything he does is good!! La is for motherfuckers and animal planet with Isaiah Toothtaker are really good.
totally agree.
for realsx)
Well said Fred
7 years since I found this guy on TH-cam and is easily STILL one of my favorites...
That voice tho!
Mmmeeooooww! :)
To this day, even with Busdriver and tons of others, I feel like this is the best live capture of LA hip hop circa mid-2010s. When he gestures for the camera to go back, perfection.
I fucking like his music.
I can't stop laughing when im watching him, because he looks exactly like my dad.
MrWebon What if it turned out he actually is?
MrWebon Bruh he looks like every single latinos dad LOL
rainman1344 top kek
he also looks like my dad
+MrWebon maybe he is your dad?
What I love about this is that his performance is its so relaxed. He has definition and a intensity in his voice but his face and body language is so calm lol
Thank you, Kinda Neat, whoever you are, for turning me on to like 10 fucking dope rappers today.
haha yeah everything on here is dope in its own way.
its Intuition
Whoever did this series needs some serious recognition
+Jason G What Bad Music said, peep the podcast too
+malamute hamscone should get SHLUM on here
Why isn't this on Spotify how am I supposed to obsess over this?!
I'm liking all your comments so you will visit this video again.
Back at ya, bud!
Yo I been tuned in for so many years i dont remember but I still come back. Just too good!
I can't get enough of this song. Shit goes hard
The first time I heard this guy was when he battlerapped with Nocando back in 09. Never knew he made music. I just happened to relive the past looking back and saw this on the recommendations.
Still bump this song daily. Thank you Kinda Neat for all the amazing artists you’ve introduced me to throughout an important part of my life.
Rheteric Ramirez 2024
One of the most impressive Kinda Neat performances imo
My go to when life gets rough. Clears up any doubts if I’m on the right path.
Everyday for the last 8 months. Love this so much!
It's not the fastest flow that I've ever heard.
But it's perfect. I think that it's the best that I've ever heard. No joke.
who gives a shit about flowing fast? some idiot who doesn't care what the rapper says.
I didn't say that I cared. You seem to though.
rabidfish02 I think the "but" confused him, confused me a little too-- but yeah the other guy needs to burn one and chill out lol
rabidfish02 his flow is good his diction could be better, cuts some words short at the end of some lines and get breathy
Andre 3000 to me has the best and the most creative flow of all time
put this guy on a run the jewels track 🔥
That an incredible suggestion!
RTJ5
I concur
Since I first heard this I've listened to it like 15 times and showed it to everyone I know. How is everyone else that's Seen this not doing that?! This Shit it's amazing 5k views is a joke
Jesus, can’t believe this is the same Rheteric from the WRCs lol. Dope as shit
The Busdriver song he's referring to is Somethingness off of his older album "Temporary Forever" if anybody was wondering. Radioinactive is also featured on it. Pretty solid album
Nice! Yeah, seems like Kamal is doing his camera man thing pretty seriously so I don't know if we'll see another iteration of a radio inactive album for a bit.
he took it to a new level.
you definitely have break the bank g with this track two thumbs up
"This is my house, you're subletting!"
Am I hearing this right? Because if so dope.
I can't get enough of this song !!!
One of the few battle rappers who actually put out decent music. Wonder what he's doing nowadays
His twitter and TH-cam are gone sadly. I’ve been trying to find him on any socials but can’t find anything. I love his music tho
Blood-born calligraphy from the inkwell of my guillotine.
well he didn't pronounce it correctly haha
Austin Greene still a sick ass song
my new fave song.
Killed it once again... every song I've heard blows my mind. Please share this around. As the comments below say - why the hell is Wayne on the radio with this floating around. I'm upset it took me a month to find this, on my fourth time listening... in a row. Never quit Rhet.
Pure Talent

RHET 's a madman, I love his style. :)
(Verse1)
You ever wonder why the game is so tired ?/All these majors are minor ?/
And even these co-signers require a co-signer/
An they wish I didn’t exist since I did that verse for Busdriver/
Why the fuck you never seen me on a Project Blowed flyer/
Don’t front on an O.G homie please/
Yall shit is two years behind you don’t act your age and you still look older than me/
It’s the R to the H to the T to the E to the R to the I to motherfuckin C/
From the 818 to the 661 or the 626 to the 213/
Sleep walk a tight rope between asshole and psycho I go through the front doe you leave through the back doe/
Black folks like my White jokes White folks get uncomfortable at my Black jokes/
People think I’m Puerto Rican, Armenian, Creol, or even Mixed/
But in L.A nobody knows either way I’m one hundred percent pimp/
It is what it is I kick game to diss lames till the day they disengage/
Eitherway I been a king ain't a thing changed step in the ring ding ding/
My name rings bells like King James/
I’mma bad thing to happen to the bitch made/
And I add weight to the big names/
I’m between Ving Rames, a Ring Wraith, and Rick James/
Killin anything within range/
And this is gonna be uuupsetting/
The beginning of the blood-shedding. Going dumber than owing a Dominican money while the mothafuckah be holdin a ma--chete/
This is my house your subletting/
I’m laughin at you cuz your actin a foo/
Been rapping before you thought it was safe to leave yo bedroom/
Blood born calligraphy in the inkwell of my guillotine/
I’m exactly who I’m supposed to be but not always what you may think of me/
I’m from the city where the Fellowshipsays we will never fall the fuck off but don’t jinx it/
Finish the 40 before you pour it out nobodys dead sobering isn’t it?/
(Yes it is)
You ever woke your car in a taco truck parking lot with your alarm going off thinkin your talking to God
There you are in front of God and the only question that comes to mind is “God is there a heaven for someone with five thousand twitter friends”? /
And the security guard says “Get the fuck outta here puto” Amen/
(Bridge)
They say it's 10% skill and 90% hustle
Its not what you know its who you know Yeah mothafucker/
Say 10% skill and 90% hustle
Fuck who you know it's what I do Now what mothafucker/
(Hook)
See on the low
Yall are on some bitch shit
So no no more politikin
I needed no love since the beginnin
So I solo hustled
Hustled like its my mission
(Chorus)
No No No No
No No No No
(Verse2)
I ain't trippin like I know I should/
But theres a reason why it ain't all good/
Like fools from the ghetto that are really just sheltered
And suburban defectors from gentrified hoods
Is livin in L.A like sex on the beach to you just what it should be?/
Or is it like sex on the beach with a girl if sand got in her pussy?/
I wrote this dedicated to the fuckstains of the status quo/
Cuz their ain't no condom in my size my personality ain't broke/
I'm included but not limited to it Put myself through it/
I was clueless as too what I was doin but the truth is/
That I'm feelin like I need an innocence transfusion/
Feelin like I need an innocence transfusion/
Brandy and Coke see a happy hour sign and walk into my brain on a Friday night/
And I was so close the meaning of life like knife to the throat in the middle of the night/
Feeling a little bit tarred and feathered/
Like fire hoses and German Shepards/
But I'm not afraid I"m a problem solver/
Like "What if beer backed the fiate dollar?"/
What a bright Idea your fuckin genius/
I know I am in this world do you believe it/
Standin in the Crown City on the suicide bridge/
Lookin at the bad moon rise thinkin life is a glitch and how I get a kick of the inconvenient truth/
Like i'm being told my future on April fools
Like I'm being told my future on April fools/
(Bridge)
They say it's 10% skill and 90% hustle
Its not what you know its who you know Yeah mothafucker/
Say 10% skill and 90% hustle
Fuck who you know it's what I do Now what mothafucker/
(Hook)
See on the low
Yall are on some bitch shit
So no no more politikin
I needed no love since the beginnin
So I solo hustled
Hustled like its my mission
(Chorus) Final
No No No No
No No No No
