[@The_Word_Is_The_Way]

Ras Kass has been one if my favorite lyricists since Soul On Ice. Big up for this one. Can't wait for the full one releases.

[@KillahManjaro]

The best emcees are nerds, and the biggest one is KRS-ONE. Props for finally getting Ras Kassa Mercha on the podcast.

[@JamesCH08]

There's plenty of intelligent cool ass hood nerds out here, smart ass f*ck will beat ya ass, look and talk gangsta and will tell you some intelligent fly sh*t. It's a damn shame the music biz doesn't promote these type of artists anymore.

@@PremoMeztisohe still does

@@PremoMeztiso many underground emcees still have other jobs to pay the bills.

Ras Kass is a WestCoast legend! Big ups for this interview💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@mightymovesmountains]

This show never misses. Thank you. Living my dream

[@demetriusbryson1706]

One Of The Greatest Emcees Ever Ras Kass was named after Ethiopian Emperor Yohannes IV whose name was Ras Kassa Mircha before he was crowned as an emperor, Please listen to everything from “Soul On ICE” to Ras Kass & Apollo Brown

[@chrisvigo4880]

Wish they asked him about the 4 HRSMN group he is in with Canibus, Killah priest and Kurupt

[@jumahbrady670]

Facts 💯

[@IKARIking67]

As a purchaser of that limited edition HRSMN album I always wonder how many people know about that group.

It's wild i swear everyone has a Prince story, dude was everywhere lol Prince was actually a very good rapper too. Gett off, NOW, Sexy MF, Days of wild. Great hip hop songs man.

[@kingjojo15]

[@n.e.srecords2966]

I first heard him on street fighter soundtrack. The song was come wit it. Him and Ahmad and saffir 🔥

[@fraziert]

Yo, Joy in Repetition is an amazing song! Crazy that Rass flipped it for his demo.

[@sunnygween279]

cant wait for the full interview! Rassie Kassie lol

[@p-jaywade1333]

😂😂 I knew there was a reason I fucked with Rass music. Joy and Repetition I listen to regularly and the archaeologist I debated with doing in '07. Matter of that, that Nature of a Threat shit encouraged me to read more, and everything he was saying in that song was covered in my online World Civilizations II class for college. Rass is alright 👍👍👍

[@RogzielTheAntistar]

LEGEND. i'm impresseed you booked ras kass math.

[@CarlosPerez-tv7rz]

Rass Kass was ahead of his time. He gave you food for thought. Learned more from him than I did in High school

[@clarissaturcios2346]

People may not know that Prince was a fan of Tha Alkaholiks......he mailed an invitation to his house to E Swift the producer of Tha Alkaholiks

[@uriamudeltoro5075]

Wooooowwww....

“Hey kid ya do anything else?!?!”😂 Ras Kass a clowner my type of people.

[@kvnbnntt534]

One of my most love songs bye Prince still listen to it today.

[@eflores-galan3415]

One of the dopest interviews ... Salute ras kass. Peace

[@louisgjr1]

I remember back in like 95-96 , I was walking by blue note records in Miami off 15th ave and 163rd. Ras passed by in a van throwing out tapes, might of been CDs lols. But those were the days. Seen a lot of rappers in that era in NMB. O.G.C. The Roots.

[@TinkertownRon]

These stories don’t compare to the full story. Ras Kass always been a God Emcee

[@Dub4Lyfe]

Kass first CD was 🔥

[@SonofSamhein]

Shout-outs, to King Rass Kass: "Interview With A Vampire", is one of THE MOST IMPORTANT Hip-Hop songs, of all-Time, lyrically-speaking (if, you don't know...??? You SHOULD know). Respect, brother...Respect to you in-kind, Math Hoffa: Salute for the interview, with one of The Most Unknown WELL-KNOWNS...

[@mdeloac5]

It was the music video Cream by Prince that he was on😅 that was him

[@shotteebwoi1O2]

I just saw it too, bucket hat in all! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@khalilarashid]

These 2 words... a little behind the beat... I mean just enough to turn you on... I absolutely love this Prince song... I knew exactly what Ras was talking about as soon as he said it. Great Story!

[@linestolife10]

WESSSSSSST!!!

[@mizzy4real24]

I love and respect Ras forever bc Nature of the threat was the one as a hs guy doing a lot of reading and listening bro.

[@18ajlucas]

Ras kass hella funny

[@jdioramasjdioramas2814]

My two favorite artists rass kass,math future song fellas

[@SCMESD]

I can relate to Ras Kass. This is dope.

[@nightbreed01sun]

Whoever did the beat for Nature of the threat,deserves an oscar.Maybe Ras career would've been different and more successful with that producer.

[@nupe077]

dude puttin his mitts in the ice bucket smh😐

[@HiPHOPx87]

Prince stories are fire

[@TheSstretch68]

The best lyricist out the west.

[@twinplaya]

I feel like Ras would be best friends with T Pain after watching this clip, super random 🤣

[@IKARIking67]

Would LOVE to see Ras on Nappy Boy podcast. Not only would they make for a good episode, his song of the week would be hilarious lol

[@yorubagold5921]

Rass is like a 5%r civilized but dont get it twisted, real brother right there.

[@damiancastronyc]

Ras Kas is Hip-Hop: MC, B-Boy, graffiti artist, and he has knowledge of self. Doesn't get more Hip-Hop than that.

[@albertdaley9093]

I believe him 😂😂😂 my older brother use climb on the ceiling like he was spider man and he aint fall or nothin he really called himself ninja mon 😂😂😂

[@kbtitan2464]

The video he talking about is Cream Prince, he in the yellow bucket head in the beginning

[@nickoleaneymurrell291]

If Prince tried to sign him first, how did someone after that discover him ??

[@kendricjonrs8581]

3:33 HOW IRONIC It Got Too Real for a lot of y'all!!

[@KurtusCFlush]

Prince - Cream 👀

[@sluggzmcgee6272]

Is that the video he was in??

[@KurtusCFlush]

I would say yes. He gave enough clues about the time period, what he was wearing and other people in the video that it was pretty easy for me to figure out. He doesn't have a speaking role in the final video, and it's hard to see his face in the shots, but it's most likely him. Yellow bucket hat, flipped up in the back, hanging with other dancing young dudes in a couple shots.

[@michaelfreeman124]

Yep. Look 45 seconds in on the right with the tan hat.

[@ToniWellons]

I was thinking that

[@topshelfbeezyformerlykb5108]

Can’t be digging in the ice bucket bare handed in this COVID era what’s wrong wit em

[@louisgjr1]

In the back of my mind I remember Ras in that video lmao

[@andyventure]

I wanna hazard a guess. Is the track “Gett Off” ?

[@ilikeRUNE]

kids are afraid to be themselves now a days. especially with social media. thats why EVERYONE talk the same. act the same. shit is gay. diff regions used to have diff lingo and style. now everyone is the same.

[@NatHenrickClarke]

That is bound to happen once ppl have access to each other

[@nibbles187]

Its spelled RAS KASS, Put some Respect on this legends name if your gonna interview him! He literally spells his name at the beginning of the classic Golden Chyld

[@uriamudeltoro5075]

Then wreck a n**@$ bubble S-class....what's next...

At around :44. He has the yellow/mustard bucket hat on in the background, right side. He's with the other dudes trying to talk to the models. He's in the background of another shot later on too, where the dudes are dancing outside.

We didn't call poppin and breaking housing. Housing came way later. Wtf!

[@eugenefreedman201]

I think it must be the extended Cream video, which was one of the few videos Prince did in the early 90s filmed in LA. There are some dancers in "hip-hop" clothing in the beginning of hte video before the song begins. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKPFd4R7mNV9aaM

[@UCUSmusic]

Prince struggled because he is a jehova witness and they don't believe in celebrating or praising humans or their birthdays... he prolly didn't wanna curse em out because he was young

[@ToniWellons]

He wasn’t a Jehovah Witness then. He didn’t become one until 2001.

[@KurtusCFlush]

This was wayyyyyy before Prince was a Jehovah's Witness. It's more likely he just didn't like the way the sample was used, and how it was being used by a "kid". Prince was VERY picky about sample clearances (and people covering his songs) in general.

[@UCUSmusic]

@@KurtusCFlush prince was raised in that religion...

[@KurtusCFlush]

@@UCUSmusic no, Prince's family were Seventh Day Adventist.

[@UCUSmusic]

@@KurtusCFlush you're right. I was mistaken. Screenshot that... you won't see anyone admit they're wrong on the internet
