R.A. the Rugged Man feat. Locksmith - Contra Dictionary [Official Lyric Video]

[@MomMom4Cubs]

I truly believe their is no one in the current landscape of hip hop that can bar for bar best the Rugged one !!!!!

[@toetaggerh4253]

Im 35 but "the ones who talk to most do the least" is the truest statement I've hear in 3 and half decades.

[@MomMom4Cubs]

This senior millennial argrees whole heartedly! RA the voice of truth in an over commercialized and delusional world of rap !

[@michaelreynolds97025]

R. A. always wins the gold medal for lyrical gymnastics

Damm loving this joint RA!

[@jasonwilliams5945]

RA is the most underrated man in music. Dude is a lyrical genious.

Edutainment at its finest

[@KingJachai]

Locksmith goes way back. Battle Rap back in the late 2000s. Plus he’s from the Bay so I automatically represent. Straight up.

[@MrWicked61671]

This album is a masterpiece and so slept on.

[@deepreach7821]

Thank you R.A.

[@RebornThaRebizzle]

This is 🔥🔥🔥👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿 right here. Straight facts.

[@bazglsgw1208]

Come back to Glasgow! What a show he put on in September 🎤

[@fourseven_general_]

I saw Locksmith, I saw R.A. The Rugged Man, I clicked. K.A.A.N. dropped on the same day as well. It's a good day.

[@Yoshi92]

One of the best rap tracks I've ever listened to. An instant all-time classic. R.A. is op! 🏆💯

[@jujuondabeatbroski]

hip hop in one of it purest forms

[@17valley]

It’s always about division. RA always calls it like it is. Hiphop legend.

[@Lincoln_Bio]

This goes hard and cuts deep, fire

[@cantoncanton1013]

The fact Harlow has 2.5 million views on his new video and this hasn’t even cracked 30K is what’s wrong with the world. Forget being the best white rapper since Eminem. RA has always been the goat white boy, long before and long after Marshall

[@Dubb1000]

I can not wait for R.A to get his flowers for being one of the most lyrical, thought-provoking and one of the best S Rank M.C to ever grab the mic.

[@AndreiBerezin]

One day he might die, and all of a sudden everybody will finally recognize his skill and craft. Heroes like him never get the flowers alive.

[@Dubb1000]

@@AndreiBerezin Jeeze, it's so sad it's got to be that way, but I concur.

[@Syckwun]

Lol relax. He’s not even top 100. He’s nice. But let’s be honest.

[@OGT4204]

There’s a lot of rappers who never get their due, it’s unfortunate but most people at least know of RA the rugged man

Locksmith might be my favorite MC right now, he deserved way more than the hook and I can't wait to see more collabs between you two!

[@fourseven_general_]

R.A. was scared that Locksmith was gonna carry his casket again like in House Of Games.😂

[@DrChainsawHandz]

Facts!!! Why even collab if locksmith aint going to kill it

[@quartzcrystallus]

Gotta be DOPE-- R A -is One of the illest, overlooked, understated, greatest, line slayest, rhyme purveyors of this time and the next - Push it UP!!!

Yo your past 2 albums have been beyond amazing. Legends never die, and all my heroes are dead I've played so many times i honestly couldn't count. The fact Immortal Technique came up with the name for All my heros are dead album made it a million times doper. I just wanted to give you your flowers to a legendary underground figure in the hip hop scene. You deserve all the recognition that kindrick, drake, and etc have. I hope you keep only going up from here so you can give your kids everything. For real I place you as the top tier in the underground scene. With the likes of Immortal Technique, Jedi Mind Tricks, Demigodz, and the others. Your music has helped me through a lot of stuff my father also died from Agent Orange later on after the Vietnam war. He was also a war hero even got the purple heart after getting shot. Lol maybe our dads even knew of each other. He died when i was young just starting man hood at 15 with no positive Role Models I made a lot of bad choice. However thanks to you for being that positive Role Model, I was able to keep pushing through it stopping myself from going all the way. Thanks for everything its possible i wouldn't even be here today if it wasn't for your music. Your verse in the uncommon valor a Vietnam story by Jedi mind tricks holds a very special place in my heart towards my father I hold it in high regards, same as I do with Alice in Chains Roosters. The song you did about your father on legends never die Daddy's Halo I hold in high regards as well. Thanks for everything for real.

[@DownLow_SanDiego]

Die rugged man die can not be slept on !!

Educative, informative and smooth rhythm.

[@prgorilla718]

That last 45 seconds got me just as much as the vocals did. Rap just doesn’t have that sound or vibe anymore. Ya gotta fuckin find vibes in a speakeasy or Spotify, but just don’t expect mainstream. Mainstream is fucked now. And yes old folk tend to say shit like this but DAMN is it prevalent as hell right now! lol it’s the end of times and I hope we keep this culture and sound and vibe alive til the end. 🔥🫡🎼🎵🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤

[@usrine]

Perfection. It's like we wished we could sound in the 90's. Dilla is slumping this in his grave. Real nice.

[@keith3946]

It genuinely breaks my heart that this type of rap is never celebrated. Never promoted. Never part of the machine. And it's for very obvious reasons of course. We can't be having people in hiphop turn away from being stupid, drug addict gang bangers and instead turn to education. Then they'll actually be dangerous...

[@thedarksideoftheforce6658]

"Rap Fans treat rap legends like bygones". Didn't you hear his verse. You know why. This current generation helped kill hip-hop along with the labels and radio. They support garbage rap today.

[@justinmartin1269]

“Rap fans treat rap legends like bygones rock fans treat rock legends like icons” being from both sides of that fence a metal head before I got into hip hop that’s something about the culture I’ve never understood.
