 Wow, what a dope fucking album!
 I knew about this dude back in the day but i always slept on him. I knew him as a white rapper and a wu tang affiliate(not sure if he is or not?). I slept.
 I remember seeing some footage of him live and thinking it was dope, heard the odd feature and dope but slept.
 Well this is the track that made me want to check out the album;
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/6_sLbVrJPJQ" target="_blank" class="new_win">https://www.youtube.com/v/6_sLbVrJPJQ</a>
 If you like east coast hip hop, lyrical hip hop and 90's hip hop then this album is a MUST!.
 I only really ever followed Eminem and Aesop rock as far as white rappers, overall and and RA is right up there!
 I'd even go as far as to put in in the same league as Raskass, Killah priest,  Eminem, Kool G rap, Chino XL and Crooked i , lyrically. BIG call i know.
 Here's an example;
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/G5v2ePtIH6w" target="_blank" class="new_win">https://www.youtube.com/v/G5v2ePtIH6w</a>
 if your still not sold on how dope this album is(RA, features and production) then here;
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/HNBM2ffYlQg" target="_blank" class="new_win">https://www.youtube.com/v/HNBM2ffYlQg</a>
 Then he dose the odd silly song like Eminem but still lyrical;

 Dunno i listened to the new Onyx just before this and i liked this better.
 
 Any fans? who else copped this album?

 

[KrazySumwhat]

 No rugged fans? no one has the album? no one checked out any of the songs i linked?
 C'mon dude has collaborated with wu tang and Biggie! ok so they are not Dr.Dre i know but still.... give dude a chance

Its a good album, there are a few weaker tracks but overall its good. R.A. The Rugged Man has been one of my favourite rappers over the past few years, hes had alot of good guest appearances.

 I may have gotten slightly carried away who i compared him too but it really is a great album. near classic to me.
 Been listening to it in my car and i don't feel there's really any weak tracks except the song with Hopsin, i don't really like the beat.
 There's a couple of softer songs but they are tributes or dedications so they're good for what they are.
 Him reminds me of Em on some occasions and some of the beats remind me of Canibus.
 Anyways loving the raps, beats and scratches.

 I'll check those songs out tomorrow after work.

Solid album, the track with Talib Kweli is nuts. I been listening to this album alot along with Vinnies Paz' album. Both artist are are nuts.

he's a boring rapper and annoying human.  I bought his 2nd album at the advice of a good friend and thought it was so wack i ended up giving him the CD (maybe what he wanted lol).  his last album had 2 good songs on it and if it wasn't for his song with Biggie I doubt he'd still have a career.

Dude got sonned by Ill Bill.

Boring? i dont see it. decent voice, decent flow, dope as fuck lyrics, at times funny flows, etc. But to each their own. I cant speak for his earlier work as i slept on that and haven't heard it. i haven't even heard the song with Biggie ^^;;
 I dunno much about his career. Not sure why there was such a long period with no album? but he seems to have a fair amount of respect? Going by the guests on his albums and the sort of rappers he collaborates with. I believe he's on a track with Kool G rap thats coming out soon?
 
 

[KrazySumwhat]

 Here is his new video that just came out;
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/v/6DvuHQ45a-U" target="_blank" class="new_win">https://www.youtube.com/v/6DvuHQ45a-U</a>
 Pretty cool vid. Ha ha funny cunt. No way he is boring on this. Poppy hook but cool track.

[Leggy Hendrix]

Rugged Man is dope, Legends Never Die is a good album, The Dangerous Three is probably my favourite track on there

[KrazySumwhat]

 there's a lyric, i forget the track and i forget the exact wording but it goes something like "iam living every mans dream, iam in my mid thirties fucking bitches that barely 18" 

[KrazySumwhat]

 seems RA is getting alot of love. Apparently Rakim called him to tell him that he appreciates what he is doing for hip hop and his new video has been very well revived.
 Seems everyone from just blaze, to big daddy kane to Reginald Hudlin been givin him props.

Biggie gave him a 2 out of 10 rating lol   he's wack as fuck.  i can count his good songs on one hand

Yeah but Biggie was just a fat racist piece of shit. lol JK
 Yeah i remember reading that Biggie was paid alot to do the track with him.
 Again, i cant speak for his earlier work but you clearly have not heard his new album.
 Why is he whack? because hes not a gangsta? not doing violent gangsta rap? not trying to act hard and not talking about killing people? Its old school rap and fun rap, party rap, positive rap, at times silly like Eminem rap. But i can see how he could come across as corny as far as his music videos, he just clowns around and acts goofy as fuck lol.
 

[Hack Wilson - real]

if you know anything about me you'd know i LOVE horrorcore rappers


Rugged Man did have some horrorcore but his shit was wack.  i've heard all 3 of his albums and was left unimpressed by all 3.  despite my best friend being an RA fanboy lol

[KrazySumwhat]

 Yeah fair enough. I think anyone who likes east coast style lyrical rap would like RA. But to each their own.
 Like i think Biggie and Big L are overrated. Everyone has different tastes.
