yo this guys been around since the golden age of hip hop and 30 years later he's still getting better, a real legend and a true inspiration, you're the man RA, one of the greatest and most underrated of all time!
HomiJuanObi probably big enough City. I drove down to Oakland California. It was my understanding he doesn't get out to the West Coast often. He didn't open, but was the first of 8 known name acts. He fucking bodied everyone after him. Nobody had the crowd after that. It was borderline embarrassing for names you know well. Legend.
@@coast.4035 Some artists can’t get through customs because of stuff on their record. Idk where you are in Ontario because it’s huge. Just keep an eye on when he tours and see if he has any stops in Ottawa, Toronto, or worst case take a trip to New York State(Buffalo, Syracuse) or maybe Detroit Michigan?
I just bought tickets for a jam with several german MCs and in the middle of the lineup you got RA. travel to the other end of Germany for that, so he better be good xD
I've drove 3 hours to one of his shows in Hamilton ontario and seen him 2 more times after that...been bumping 50,000 heads longer than I can remember. Most dopest underrated MC I've ever met, and that is a list of Masta Ace, EMC, Apathy, Celph Titled, Vinnie Paz, Slaine, Mad Child, Reef the lost Cauz and CL Smooth. He is so humble its admirable. You haven't lived until you have experienced his energy at his show. Top 5 GOAT no discussion required
@@andysmallz407 3 separate times he came to Hamilton but the exact days or years I can't recall lol I'd say within the last 6 years at least. Now that you ask, I'm going to see if there is videos uploaded on YT, I had a couple but fucced if I know where I put them.
@Joseph Martinage? You're silly. First, the thing I said be wasn't part of wasn't the Hip Hop Culture, it was the music industry. Those are two totally different things. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_industry en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hip_hop You should try to sound less like a dumbass.
Rodman's releases suck unfortunately. Been spitting the same verse for 15 years. The video for slap the shit outcha was good but the song alone is meh meh
Locksmith, loved Ali 😁 also really love house of games. I wish yall would make a full album together. You're the only dude to give ra a run for his money

I love this so much. Without going into too much, let's just say that I know the real RA, the wonderful father and son. He is so brilliant, even in his grandiose moments, he can still not take himself too seriously. He can turn the crazy, provocative, and offensive into the uplifting, illuminating, and profound. My dream day would be to just follow him around and see how he does it all. In his words and music, it's obvious he has seen the ugly side of this world. How he copes is to make it his happy existence. We should all learn from him. RA, I am so glad to know you.
RA is the only musician i ever went to a concert to and it was in some shitty small bar in germany, nevertheless RA made the crowd go nuts and destory that fucking place. The owners face made my day, you could see he had no fucking clue who he hired to sing in his bar xD

Rugged man was one of the most underrated lyricists in rap back before Eminem even got into the battle scene. He was one of the first white rappers that got record deal and almost broke the black only mindset in the industry at the time but he legit partied so hard they let him go and decided not to promote him. He also had been ripped by some large producers more then once. He deserved this win

RA --- I love how chill this is. You have grown so much and for the better. I can't wait for the full album. Saw you in Baltimore like 18 years ago and how time flies. Been one of my top musicians for over 20 years man. It's super nice to see you still doing you with 5d chess style IQ instead of 40z IQ but perhaps I just aged with you like fine wine.
@@theaddictofgaming9174 the most tragic the situation he presents, the funnier it can be to some people. Tragedy is usually like a cruel joke. For example, I always found it funny how almost every character in Hamlet dies and the play makes fun of it many times.
Love the death/rebirth metaphor RA. The young wild crazy RA reborn into the more mature, refined father (maybe still a little crazy) and how that metaphor parallels your own career. That is the oppression of the corporate music industry putting you down early on but now back on top as a more mature RA while never compromising your art for $$$. That is some deep heavy stuff.
I love that these some of these dudes from the old school are still doin it! More than a few gems like this been dropping recently. I’m excited to see what’s up next
Discovered you last night, RA. So impressed by your flow, your vibe, everything. Fantastic storytelling. I'm so excited to dive deep into your catalogue.
Couldn't believe this guy dropped a new album. I remember listening to him on the Soundbombing albums of the late 90s. Last time i heard of him was when 50.000 heads came out, after that lost track of him. This album is an absolute masterpiece!
RA thank you for murkin every beat ...I have a slipped disk in my neck from bobbin my head to your lyrical LEGENDARY hits. Nothing but respect. One - from NY

@@crazytrain7721 lol yea it’s 95% effort and 5% luck. If you’re talking to people at shows, you’re going to run into talent scouts at least you’re doing something you loved. Also not everyone wants to be super famous, my doctor plays bass in a jazz band and they’re perfectly happy doing small shows at bars. I played in a punk band and we had a lot of connections to people in Fat Wreck Chords. Had the lead singer not gotten addicted to heroin and caused the band to break up, we would have eventually gotten signed to them or another punk label. It’s about what you find creatively fulfilling, not the money.
@@Bryanswrld that’s a sad outlook. Also you don’t know what people consider “success.” Some people just want to make music because they love it, not just for money.
Met him in amityville with his whole family his neice was at the show he literally stole every girls phone and rapped into it then got on the bar and rapped on it
I literally heard your verse on Uncommon Valor for the first time a week ago and just started listening to your albums, what a perfect time to become a fan incredibly hyped for the new project.
@@spencerlenahan2879 Another one to check out is dangerous three ft Brother Ali and Masta ace. If you havent heard ace i recommend him too. Ace is an OG og from the juice crew.

For real yo. Not from New York. But as a student of hip-hop to see what's coming out of NY today saddens and scared me. I mean that Mo Bamba track. Wtf!? Now that I hear this I regain hope in hip- hop
@@randyh.7782 Me either most dudes ain't. And the ones thar can rhyme dumb down their lyrics to sell records. I. E. ASAP Mob. Every dude in ASAP can legit spit. You can hear in their rhyming schemes. There's no mistaking it. Whether you like it or not. But they still choose to sound stupid to play to the dumb club crowds. Back in the day a dope album would have your 1-2 club singles. Still hot but not an MCs best stuff. Then 1-2 love singles. Then a maybe 1-2 of their hottest shit that was deemed radio worthy. Then the rest of the album was fire. Them being them and going hard. Now they don't even try. Why should they? If people are stupid enough to listen to a sound cloud rapper then why would young rappers even try to be real lyricists anymore. Its really indicative of where we're at as a society. But fuck it I say this shit I get called the old man screaming get off my lawn. So.....
Idk that’s really subjective in this case. He’s definitely very skilled at what he does, but that early 2000s cartoony rap didn’t age well. D12, Obie Trice and others singles don’t get play anymore. Only ones that do really are some of Eminem’s with his Slim Shady persona, and maybe Redman once in a while... Lol I do see there’s over a million views here now though so people must be on a nostalgia trip I guess... I still feel like this song is missing the best part of what made most of those songs good - a hook. The chorus here is weird it’s not really catchy with him just starting and stopping the words in a weird timing and order...
Nice to see RA finally getting the attention he deserves. So many times hanging out with him at the CopShop he seemed depressed. He's a great example of what someone can achieve if you keep trying, regardless what obstacles life throws your way. I'll also always have a story to tell when he got pissed at me for starting his myspace page and asking out his niece.

He lied, you can't
@@Bryanswrld lol. That is funny. But you can. Some is chance, but the more effort the better chance
@@crazytrain7721 lol yea it’s 95% effort and 5% luck. If you’re talking to people at shows, you’re going to run into talent scouts at least you’re doing something you loved. Also not everyone wants to be super famous, my doctor plays bass in a jazz band and they’re perfectly happy doing small shows at bars. I played in a punk band and we had a lot of connections to people in Fat Wreck Chords. Had the lead singer not gotten addicted to heroin and caused the band to break up, we would have eventually gotten signed to them or another punk label. It’s about what you find creatively fulfilling, not the money.
@@Bryanswrld that’s a sad outlook. Also you don’t know what people consider “success.” Some people just want to make music because they love it, not just for money.
@@Bryanswrld LMFAO I died. well done sir.
Excited for this! RA never disappoints!
One of the best rappers ever. This man can go from simple to hard in a instant.
i love the subtlety of the two "if a loser like me can do it then so can you", one a negative, one a positive
Best song of 2020 yet,both in hip hop and in music.
I love how this man dissed so many people in this video and still made me feel motivated as hell. RA is a bonafide legend lol
Yo this guy a legend bro
All those rhyme scheme!
Your 1.8 million dollar deal may have fell through but your still pulling 1.8m views- LEGEND
I actually met RA...he's a mad cool guy...glad to see him still doing his thing...
Met him in amityville with his whole family his neice was at the show he literally stole every girls phone and rapped into it then got on the bar and rapped on it
@@GODHATESADOPTION haha hes a fucking savage
Tommy Dolan Sounds like some wack shit he'd do.
I literally heard your verse on Uncommon Valor for the first time a week ago and just started listening to your albums, what a perfect time to become a fan incredibly hyped for the new project.
peoples champ is a very good song. my personal fav of his
Welcome
The Volcanic Masochist I heard that one I agree it’s a very good song!
@@spencerlenahan2879 Another one to check out is dangerous three ft Brother Ali and Masta ace. If you havent heard ace i recommend him too. Ace is an OG og from the juice crew.
I wasn't expecting this.. brilliant as always.
Rich Nixdorf RA is such a lyrical inspiration to my writing style. I love his schemes so much. Lol I just dropped a track the other day! I have the second verse on "New Shoes" if you are interested in new music you should check me out 🤙🏼
How is it possible that with all the insane rhymes he says my favorite part of the song is the "HAHA" he does lol.
Dissing Tekashi 69, Stitches and Post Malone at the same time with the makeup, nice
there's a little knowledge he dropped to the youth
I think it's mainly 69.
Savage too
Stitches,69,lil pump,21 savage,📫 Malone
im a youth im 13 and ra the rugged man is one of my favorites i hate modern day rappers there are only a few treasures
That part from 1:48 till the gunshot, OMG !!
This is fuckin inspirational, twisted, dope, and hilarious at the same time! Love it. People severely underestimate the genius of RA.
Greets from a loser from zurich! Come back soon 😍
What?All the comments disappeard?Had to reset the reminder?...Oh I see,I reckon RA fixed the desciption.Again RA it was great to see you/meet you in Glasgow a wee bit back.The Psalm One girls rocked!!The Scottish rapper Mika(I believe) was good to.The wife had a great time!RA I told you at the show"You saved Hip Hop"I meant it.AYE!!CHEERS!!DredHed.
dredhed420 a wiz there tae man. Gig wiz superb. The support act was milla, he's got videos n shit on TH-cam.
Ya!BIG UP'S to Milla!
Psalm One is an emcee in her own right, the other supporting female was Angel Davenport! Fucking legendary gig.
The new album is pure gold
Classy and highly precise with the themes and lyrics.
You can see why mainstream don't want him. This guy is a genius. You're the real deal
R.A. the Rugged Man...a fellow NYC native. Keeping that NYC lyrical hip-hop alive. You make me proud homie! 🗽🇺🇸
100 man he gives me hope aswell to produce that new york vibe music
For real yo. Not from New York. But as a student of hip-hop to see what's coming out of NY today saddens and scared me. I mean that Mo Bamba track. Wtf!? Now that I hear this I regain hope in hip- hop
@@Shinobi33 I don't want to accept that Sheck Wes is a NYC rapper. 😑
@@randyh.7782 Me either most dudes ain't. And the ones thar can rhyme dumb down their lyrics to sell records. I. E. ASAP Mob. Every dude in ASAP can legit spit. You can hear in their rhyming schemes. There's no mistaking it. Whether you like it or not. But they still choose to sound stupid to play to the dumb club crowds. Back in the day a dope album would have your 1-2 club singles. Still hot but not an MCs best stuff. Then 1-2 love singles. Then a maybe 1-2 of their hottest shit that was deemed radio worthy. Then the rest of the album was fire. Them being them and going hard. Now they don't even try. Why should they? If people are stupid enough to listen to a sound cloud rapper then why would young rappers even try to be real lyricists anymore. Its really indicative of where we're at as a society. But fuck it I say this shit I get called the old man screaming get off my lawn. So.....
@@Shinobi33 I agree! To an extent Joey Badass even changed up his style, but he's still dope. I just hope he won't go too left field with his music.
This album is crazy, waiting for AFRO next...
Finally, some new Rap worth listening to. This is a throwback to back when shit was actually good.
Idk that’s really subjective in this case. He’s definitely very skilled at what he does, but that early 2000s cartoony rap didn’t age well. D12, Obie Trice and others singles don’t get play anymore. Only ones that do really are some of Eminem’s with his Slim Shady persona, and maybe Redman once in a while...
Lol I do see there’s over a million views here now though so people must be on a nostalgia trip I guess... I still feel like this song is missing the best part of what made most of those songs good - a hook. The chorus here is weird it’s not really catchy with him just starting and stopping the words in a weird timing and order...
Nice to see RA finally getting the attention he deserves. So many times hanging out with him at the CopShop he seemed depressed. He's a great example of what someone can achieve if you keep trying, regardless what obstacles life throws your way. I'll also always have a story to tell when he got pissed at me for starting his myspace page and asking out his niece.
2:20 that was perfectly *executed*
@@MarcelReuling why tf do you exist?
Seems like 2020's gonna be a great year for hip hop 😎
Bruh.... this is fire on a "weird al" vibe!
Your spitting bars that actually have meaning and sound straight!
Love the comedy, That spreads life!
Wack.
Yeh man dont get comedy bars now more i think humour always elevates lyrics whad you think?
I just discovered RA when his interview on VladTV came across my feed. I like it. It feels old school.
Haven’t heard it yet but I already liked and shared
Wanted Dead Or Alive RA is such a lyrical inspiration to my writing style. I love his schemes so much. Lol I just dropped a track the other day! I have the second verse on "New Shoes" if you are interested in new music you should check me out 🤙🏼
My absolute best album of the year
R.A. Yeah!!!!
Woooooooooooo!!!!! That beat is still Rugged, Strong Island's Finest 💪💪
"Hip hops Frank Zappa" haha on point yo...
