Think Formyself Because you depended on mainstream outlets to feed you! In the 90's I was a REAL hiphop head so I hit the record stores for the good shit....read The Source, Rap Pages, watched Rap City, listened to underground hiphop stations....and hung around other hiphop heads! Back then hiphop was a lifestyle .....if you wasn't apart of the culture then you ended up listening to Snoop, Bone, or Tupac lmmmfaoooooo

[@earthtrekpedicab]

Well I think that some blacks are against black greatness. They are the sluggard and the backwards. They are synthetic people who do not want to be forced out of their comfort zones and they actively fight and oppress those who free minds. Trust, it may be other groups who also work to hinder natural black excellence but first and foremost it's the same haters of Hon. Prophet Marcus Garvey who makes sure that the masses don't realize great potential. In my observation, other races dream of an upwardly accelerated black reality more than most blacks... love Ras Kass. A great teacher.

Me and a friend of mine ironically skipped school to go to the record store and do some shopping. We were excited about the album, because he was considered one of the best of the west. And we were all the way in Detroit lol. We literally stopped at that song and played it all day...didn't hear the rest of the album for about a week.

Vlad tried to get him to walk back what he said on the song, he wasn't havin it! 😆

[@fcsjohnnynips]

That track gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it. Absolute punch to my soul. He said so damn much about the evolution of systemic racism as you can fit into the confines of one song without missing a beat. He is one of the all time greats for that song alone.

[@unnamed776-m9h]

By being racist? 😂

[@fcsjohnnynips]

@@unnamed776-m9h is that your take?

[@unnamed776-m9h]

@@fcsjohnnynips yes

I still play that joint to this day!! This cat was one of the most slept on mc’s ever!!

[@carbonado1]

Razz shouldn’t need to explain his bars but I’m glad he’s illustrated the depth of his inspiration. Literally using biology and natures adaptive force to show how Europeans came to be.

Blacks, Whites, Latinos, Irish, Asians, Native Americans - we are all one people.

He says albinism was considered a sin back then but then says the albinos were the first race haters. Isn't that a contradiction?

[@brojohnmcd]

He sounds intelligent, but what he said doesn’t hold up to scrutiny

[@CleanFabKOJI]

A sin doesn’t imply hate. There was a belief in cause.

[@MFSomething]

@@CleanFabKOJI if their "sin" is being born a certain way, then yes, that implies hatred.

[@ajohn502]

​​@@MFSomething sin does not equate to hatred. That's why a mother can dislike the fact that her son is homosexual, but still love her son. If someone considers something a sin, they consider it unnatural and not operating under the natural order of things. Natural order of things means different things to different people.. depending on religion, ideology, etc.

Ras Kass is arguably the best MC next to KRS ONE and my favorite rapper all time beside 2pac I met him in Oakland in 1998 I’ll never forget that day he’s a lyrical genius 💯💯

[@DeleriousOdyssey]

Responding to racism with racism... genius.

[@DeleriousOdyssey]

That comment doesnt mention anything about feelings.

[@iloveketchup20]

@Senai B Except there were no true "facts".

[@indecutink]
