Rass Kass a cool cat. He was in my car in NYC wit Tragedy Khadafi and Royal Flush cruising thru Manhattan after a night in the studio at Goblin Studio. He was extra concerned about my driving but he had me laughing so hard i couldn't see the road. Great interview
Was blessed to meet Ras Kass twice. Opened for Jamo Gang once. Both times, he was super approachable and humble. That alone made me a fan for life. Not often you see that with your favorite MCs.
THANK YOU for interviewing this man. I've been a HUGE fan of his since the late 90s, and I think the original Van Gogh album was an absolute masterpiece, and in my top 5 albums of all time.
From the first day I heard Soul On Ice in the 90s it stayed with me. My first 12" was Anything Goes. An album for all seasons and that Revisited X with MK Asante on the narrative and other stories is everything. I run through that whole project multiple times throughout the years. 5 mics. 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤
This undoubtedly is my favorite interview on this podcast to date. Ras is the illest. He is the ideal emcee. Ras is in my top three, and always has been.
Ras Kass is the reason I copped the hardcover of The 48 Laws of Power when that jawn first dropped in 1998 He listed the book as one of his favorites to read in an interview - this was before that jawn got popular It’s funny how him and O.C. have similar voices They wound up collaborating on the Lyricist Lounge jawn I couldn’t tell them apart on the track…LOL…smh On another note, Ras is a certified legend on the strength of Soul on Ice It’s crazy that he wrote Nature of the Threat without the assistance of Google What’s even crazier is that Ordo Abchao (Order Out of Chaos) is relevant TODAY based on the pandemic and the current social climate Some highlights from that jawn: “It's almost methodical, education is false assimilation, Building prisons is economical, so young n*ggas in gang modules, Be giving more head than hair follicles, And n*ggas like myself know the ledge and still jump like Geronimo, Huh, Supreme Mathematics and bad habits, Cause chasing cabbage keeps a n*gga savage…” “The planet revolves, supposedly man evolves, But no problem is solved, cause man is the cause, For the sake of eugenics, biochemists create ethno-specific epidemics, Injecting the public in clinics, Then when the truth comes out, ‘You Black people are so paranoid’ But WHO murdered Africa? The W.orld H.ealth O.rganization…” “Black men is blinded, while Black women look for real men but can't find it…” “Now sh*t gets no realer, reality dictates fate, Global Policy 2000, by then the planet depopulates, By about 1 billion -- men, women, and children, By whatever means necessary, Wars, disease, starvation, plagues et cetera…” #Classic
Which jawn of philly you from? Im writing you from Paris France and when I read u using the word jawn I immediately knew where you from!!! Lol. Philly is the place regardless to the negative stigma it carries out. RIP YNG Cheese
Salute Ras Kass, much love. ❤ God Bless young your love ones. My expert Opinion. Thank you all very much. Love & Blessings to you and all the staff behind and in front of the cameras. Sincerely, Joe.L
Kicked it with Babu Art Bazel Miami a few years ago. She was mad cool down to Earth. Super creative soul. Paused for a picture then took off in black SUV. Was an definitely an experience. 😎
I always hate hearing that story cause AL is in my top 3 producers all time. Shady as hell especially to never own up and apologize even when rass showed em love. Shout out rass for keeping it cool
Man, he went way back, brought back memories, he was hitting flips off walls and dancing back in High School with Bird on some next level. Bob was the homie too and Wino is the big bro from the Turf. The Boyz used live across the street from the homie lil Penguin.
That was a DOPE episode Math & Fam, SALUTE!!! peeped out Coast Contra and them kids are NICE. Keep goin the Marathon Continues Love from the West Coast.
Few stories about Alchemist doin shit like that to other artists. R.A The Rigged Man said on Lessons"Alchemist you still my little buddy, even though you stole that Royce Da 5'9 the king beat from me"
When I first heard Ras Kass's "Nature Of The Threat", it forever changed the course of my life. Here was a song, that put into musical form what I was experiancing and learning while growing up as a Black Man in America. Your favourite MC's favorite MC, ask Celph Titled and Royce Da 5'9". After Rassassination dropped, he became one of my Top 5 MC's DOA. Hope he comes back once a week! 💯✊🏿 #WestUp

One of the dopest MC’s to ever grace the microphone
Straight facts one of my personal favorite of all time.💫✨🦉💯🗣️🎙️🤔
💯
@user-SubvurzIV facts
@@waligibson240 yup
1000 percent fam! London locked in!!! One my personal favourite MCs/artists
One of my top 5 emcees. Thank you for getting an interview with Ras Kass.
Math you are killing it! This is one of my favorite MC’s! Another jewel in your crown my brother!

Truly one of the best in the HipHop culture
As a 54 year old from the West Coast cloth Rass is Nasty. Salute young brother, best to your family.

Just was bangin Anything Goes last week 🔥 🔥 🔥
@Coat Contra is the best group out now. Love these bruthas. Peace to Ras, Tedra and 2¢✊🏿. The culture lives through them.😎
Thanks for finally having my top 3 MC on here. Ras Kass influenced and inspired me the most as an young MC.
This interview is the reason for me subscribing to this channel.
Ras Kass that rapper as bars . That song ghetto fabulous money make the world go round , reporting live from Los Angeles🔥🔥🔥
This undoubtedly is my favorite interview on this podcast to date. Ras is the illest. He is the ideal emcee. Ras is in my top three, and always has been.
This was such a great conversation Math. Thank you for continuing to shine through all the hate people give ❤❤❤❤
Ras Kass was one of my favorite MC's growing up!
Ras Kass is the reason I copped the hardcover of The 48 Laws of Power when that jawn first dropped in 1998
He listed the book as one of his favorites to read in an interview - this was before that jawn got popular
It’s funny how him and O.C. have similar voices
They wound up collaborating on the Lyricist Lounge jawn
I couldn’t tell them apart on the track…LOL…smh
On another note, Ras is a certified legend on the strength of Soul on Ice
It’s crazy that he wrote Nature of the Threat without the assistance of Google
What’s even crazier is that Ordo Abchao (Order Out of Chaos) is relevant TODAY based on the pandemic and the current social climate
Some highlights from that jawn:
“It's almost methodical, education is false assimilation,
Building prisons is economical, so young n*ggas in gang modules,
Be giving more head than hair follicles,
And n*ggas like myself know the ledge and still jump like Geronimo,
Huh, Supreme Mathematics and bad habits,
Cause chasing cabbage keeps a n*gga savage…”
“The planet revolves, supposedly man evolves,
But no problem is solved, cause man is the cause,
For the sake of eugenics, biochemists create ethno-specific epidemics,
Injecting the public in clinics,
Then when the truth comes out, ‘You Black people are so paranoid’
But WHO murdered Africa? The W.orld H.ealth O.rganization…”
“Black men is blinded, while Black women look for real men but can't find it…”
“Now sh*t gets no realer, reality dictates fate,
Global Policy 2000, by then the planet depopulates,
By about 1 billion -- men, women, and children,
By whatever means necessary,
Wars, disease, starvation, plagues et cetera…”

Real talk Rass’s on my top 5🤴🏾 thanks Math!!!!
The talk is real don’t take the Dolphins from its world wide emotion ether is in Gemini air peace 🤔🤫👆
Hip-hop owes Ras Kass for letting that song go to Jada, historic
People love that Kiss record. I believe him and Al worked together since too
Ras only getting 28k in 3 days?
I fear for this generation.....
Most niggas be more concerned about gossip surrounding 50, Jay Z or 2pac

No Bigga?? A little unfair perhaps.

Funniest gangster rapper I’ve every heard nice interview y’all
One of the best to do it, got on with the best from bith sides, and passed on his gift to his boys with momss! This is greatness

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!!!!
Shout out to Math and crew for putting Ras on your platform, tied with Nas for best lyricist of all time
West Coast in the buildin !!! 🏢 for this.
Ras is an intellectual. Ras is a shriner. Dope .
Incredible ep!
Excellent interview
Few stories about Alchemist doin shit like that to other artists. R.A The Rigged Man said on Lessons"Alchemist you still my little buddy, even though you stole that Royce Da 5'9 the king beat from me"
He did. RA put out a track for Rawkus called Ride Wit Us, before Royce came out
Im glad someone gave him a platform. Hes one of the best ever on the mic and I feel like hes forgotten by most of the "commercial" rap lanes.
Time the fucc out. Did he just say the coast Kontra twins are his sons??? 😮
Yessir. Them cats got it honest as a muh'phugga, lol...
Ras Kass One Of The Illest To Ever Do It. Dubs Up.!

PE, Public Enemy, and NWA may be a close 2a and 2b to the Wutang Clan in forms of influence and branding
Badu on here would be 🔥 Hoffa
Math is a dangerous emcee, crazy bars.

The Wake Up Show Intro (1994)
Ras Kass freestyle verse
Yo it's the Wake Up Show my genetic make up
Take up 139 lb. of beef
For lyrics shake up like January 17
Crossovers extinct MCs is fossils
Protect your neck and wear a bullet proof vest on your tonsils
Amateurs bandage your corneas
Cause you don't wanna see California
A C arsonist spittin arsenic
With Sway Tech and Joe Quix on the mix
Spinal meningitis ain't as stiff as the riff of Ras Kass
Slash like racist Crackers with whips
Come equipped you're losin' your paraphernalia
I'm Hip Hop apostle singin' the gospel like Mahalia Jackson each Saturday
9 to the break of dawn put cocaine on my tongue
You got crack now rock on
CLASSIC 🧨💣🧨🧨💣💣🧨💣🧨💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
