WEST TOURNAMENT 2ND ROUND: RAS KASS VS PARIS
« on: November 27, 2003, 12:56:06 AM »
Ras Kass, known by many as the greatest lyricist to bless the mic, goes up against one of today's top conscious rappers Paris.

Two great artists that the mainstream would never understand... intriguing match-up.

Ras has one classic album under his belt but has constantly failed to live up to it since. His place in hip-hop history is set with 'Nature of the Threat' alone, but, like Snoop, I can't see him ever reaching the heights of his first album again.

Paris, on the other hand, is a legend - no doubt. You've got to respect the man for everything he has had the balls to do over his career - this a man who beives in artistry.

Gotta go with Paris... but an honorary mention to Ras for the cleverest track in the 'East Coast / West Coast' shit with 'Sonset'...

Paris, even though I know Ras will win.

Most hip-hop is now keyboard driven, because the majority of hip-hop workstations have loops and patches that enable somebody with marginal skills to put tracks together,...

Unfortunately, most hip-hop artists gravitated towards the path of least resistance by relying on these pre-set patches. As a result, electric guitar and real musicians became devalued, and a lot of hip-hop now sounds the same.
