Rugged Man Reveals Which White Rappers He Respects

www.vladtv.com - R.A. the Rugged Man believes the media is promoting the wackest hip-hop of all time right now, and says that writers aren't trying to find the best undiscovered talent, but rather are putting on people because of their KZbin views. He adds to his claims by saying that the coverage on "fake rap" is "desecrating the culture for a paycheck."
Rugged Man is then asked about his top five white rappers, but he reveals that he doesn't like ranking just white rappers. However, he does elaborate on which rappers he's worked with that he really respects, along with new talent like Mac Miller and Yelawolf that he's also into.

Need a sequel to the album about rumplestiltskin selling his boogers to an ant colony... i forget what its title is

[@musaka2022]

@@ptrcrispy Its deep, its actually a metaphor for the colonization of space and the ideologies that will supersede post-modernism. Most likely Marxism of an inter-stellar variety. Think of the ants as the proletariat, and Rumplestilskin as the Tiberius like emperor throwing spears (or in this case boogers) at a tickled Neptune.

[@musaka2022]

@@ptrcrispy You're asking for my purely subjective interpretation of Aesops thinking?

[@musaka2022]

@@ptrcrispy Personally, I think Rumplestilstkin is a host body for the spirit world. He goes through multiple possessions, from greed to envy and lust etc, settling with pride as the most humble of the demons. Now society and the ant colony dont really need a more obvious parallel, do they? Rumplestiltskin made a deal with the ants. At least that what the ants think. Boogers are so taboo, the mere menion peaked some sort of disgust in you right? Just like the mention of certain drugs ( say heroin) seem to rile up the public in contrast to whats accepted( say cannabis) The booger it's self is a red herring. It intentionally sounds so childish and playful, you naturally get misconstrued. A true genius concept by Aesop. So simple, like flicking a switch of the listeners mind.
