R.A. The Rugged Man Reveals The Truth Behind “Uncommon Valor: A Vietnam Story” | People's Party Clip

[@uproxx]

Is this one of the 50 best rap verses ever?

[@achillessteals4535]

Most definitely. I mean, you can argue all day about which super lyrical verses are the nicest but the personal ones, the substantial ones, those are on that next level

[@iskandertime747]

Yes.

[@KhalilSeretseKhama]

Without a doubt.

[@KayGeee86]

Of course!

[@marc07112]

Absolutely!!

[@jaimemartinez2528]

That verse completely blows my mind. I'm glad that RA is getting his flowers because this brother has been laying it down for decades. Respect ✊🏾

[@Kevin.branum]

In my opinion it’s the best verse I’ve ever heard from the bars to the story to the fact it was real hands down my favorite verse ever

[@randee4550]

You must not listen to that much Hip-Hop

One of the best introductions to the one of the best story tellers. My uncle was a victim of the Agent Orange as well,had died horribly. Told one of many storys

[@margaretwilkins8654]

I will say this much to you son, I am sorry for you and your whole family. My husband was SSgt T.Wilkins. He suffered and died age 60 agent Orange. We have lost 4 grandkids. It is real....and very painful. God bless you Son ❤

Respect to R.A .. a real legend.. I’ve been fucking with him since the beginning

[@TheBigF617]

I remember the first time I heard it. Knowing so many Vietnam Vets it really hits hard.

[@Phantomtandem]

Saw RA and AFRO near Detroit(Pontiac) a couple months ago and watched a grown man moved to tears as that verse was spit. Great emcee and if you get a chance, go see em live

[@kevingarris198]

I fist learned about the top tier lyricist locksmith from an RA interview several years ago. RA doesn't get nearly enough respect in the rap game.

[@tfe5956]

Haha same. Also discovered Locksmith from that RA interview all those years ago.

[@kylemcgill2966]

His verse on "Renaissance" with Hell Razah and Tragedy Khadafi is his best. Uncommon Valor is a close 2nd. Great story telling.

[@achillessteals4535]

The storytelling is exactly what puts Uncommon Valor at the top for me - I'm just a sucker for storytelling (my all time favorite verse is the first verse on Mr Busdriver). But I agree with you, Rugged's verse on Renaissance is BONKERS

[@bruceleeds7988]

I'm a sucker for Stanley Kubrick

[@HittokiriBattousai17]

Also an amazing verse.

[@alexe14606]

[@kellen1303]

Such a dope song. Had no idea how personal it was.

[@saveriopersichilli1129]

Their track " the truth" is one of the greatest tracks of the last decade .. especially RA's verse

[@toneriggz]

Amazing track, legendary verse. I've seen RA perform it live too.

[@idontlikestuff]

I just remembered this verse and didnt listen to it for like.... 7 years. And I still remembered every word. One of the best verses ever.

[@thecunninlynguist]

RA is dope. that new album bangs.

[@zachosborne6577]

Stoupe is so underrated as a beat maker and producer, everything he does is sick.

[@emmanuelmedina5535]

Facts! From JMT, to his Dutch and Verspertina projects, to Red Martina. Definitely one of my personal, top 5 producers.

[@wallywimpledorph]

@@emmanuelmedina5535Word! Most underrated producer imo

[@bignatius]

It's an amazing track with a sick beat (shout out to Stoupe), incredible writing by all involved, and a delivery so dope it's hard to measure, and while Vinnie Paz is no slouch, R.A. deserves to be remembered for forever for this track alone. Make no mistake, it's one of HipHop's finest, ever, and that's no small thing. Love and respect to R.A. and his entire family, Jedi Mind Tricks, Talib, and the rest of the People's Party crew. Another important interview... Thank you all.

[@blind87us]

I've showed people who don't even like hiphop that verse and there amazed by it.

[@buddywireless9371]

Absolutely one of the strongest period the details jam packed true, miracle of breath control unforgettable and will never be forgotten classic in its purest form

[@TheSstretch68]

[@thamsanqahadebe5778]

One of the realest human beings in Hip-Hop! That verse alone is better than hundreds of songs out these days. Legendary!

[@Raumance]

Incredible. Listened to it when it came out just was listening to some RA as I had discovered him. Now started listening to some Jedi Mind Tricks and Vinnie songs in over a decade and Uncommon Valor popper into mind. Now I get to see him actually talk about it.

[@antoniosantiago22]

Where the fuck is the rest of this interview...I see R.A. I click👍👍👍

[@marcaoliver2965]

[@lewishanna3474]

this is a real ass story. I thank you for sharing it. My father has Parkinsons from agent orange exposure, many of our soldiers suffer today from the affects of that.

[@gilo8721]

Agent Orange is a mass chemical warfare chemical we used. My sis has multiple autoimmune diseases the worst of them is lupus. I have fibromyalgia, moms had miscarriages and a baby with spinal bifida who didn’t survive. Yes my pops was out there in Vietnam. He was anti war and military after that experience. His fight for our freedom later became a curse on the family. But god bless America cuz america needs all the blessings they can handle. Thank you to all the troops who sacrifice everything. They are young naive heroes who sacrificed for their subjective better good. Life is a trip.
