Ras Kass - "Nature Of The Threat"
« on: September 03, 2002, 06:51:09 AM »
Easily the Greatest song ever made to me, on the best Hip Hop album of all time. The song is fucking amazing, partially because nothing has ever been done like this and it aint spitting on the same played topic.

Song isnt all that great, it kinda gets boring and irritating after awhie because the beat isnt good.. if you want to talk about best hip hop song.. mention COMMON "The Light", theres a song with a great meaning to it and a good ass song...

Who gives a shit about the beat, Ras Kass's lyrics takes your mind away completly from the beat. Someone could play the beat of the song to me and I wouldnt know where its from, and I've listened to the song hundreds of times. Common - "The Light" is also one of my favourite tracks of all time. Commons yet to drop something thats been wack in my eyes.

Its definitly one of the greatest lyrical songs ever, but the production isn't anything special (maybe get primo to remix and use it as a bonus track on goldyn chyld? that would be classic) i just hate the way ras never gets in any greatest lyrics/lyricists of all time lists.

If you want to talk about best hip hop song.. mention COMMON "The Light".


::)  

"The Light"  ??? I guess you started listening to hip-hop a couple of years ago.


Anyways, "Nature Of The Threat" is dope song, I like the beat and Ras Kass comes off good even if some of the content is a bit racist and the history facts and definitions he spits are debatable.

Here's one unaccurate definition:

Racism is the system of racial subjugation against nonwhites
in every areas of human relation
Entertainment, education, labor, politics
Law, religion, sex, war and economics

I know that's the way he's sees it but it sure isn't fact

Also, I ain't religious and don't know anything about the bible but is this a real fact?

Cause Christ was not his name
That's Greek for "One who is anointed"
Yoshua Ben Yosef was his name, do Christians know this?

And:

Today it's AIDS, you best believe it's man made
Cause ain't a damn thing changed.. let me explain
Now since people of color are genetically dominant
and Caucasoids are genetically recessive
and Whites expect to be predominant, meaning survive as a race then they simply must, take precautions
That's why they're worried about their future now

Does anyone think that white people created AIDS to kill off "browns" and "blacks" and stay predominant and survive as a race because they are worried they would take over?

I dont know if thats Jesus's real name, but yeah Christ means one who is annointed.

And yeah I read some articles on the net where they said the AIDS virus is man made and was put in polio vacceens and injected into kids in Africa.  IT also said that it was to kill off black and brown people.  The other story is that AIDS was made when an african had sex with the Green Monkey, but i find that hard to beleive, peace

Alot of what Ras Kass spits adds up perfectly and I'm sure quite a few people believe that AIDS was brought into the ghetto by the American Goverment.
