Niggaz argue who the best of the West, is it Xzibit, Tray Deee or Kurupt ?
E-40, Ras Kass, Crooked I, Jayo or Yuk.. I dunno, fuck it, throw some chronic up

Given the title of the track, and this list, I'd say this is a Game diss.  :D

The tracklisting & producer line-up looks dope:

Another bullshit Ras Kass track...  When will he learn to make a fuckin song, he's not talking about shit in this one.  His wordplay is getting old when there is no message.

Best Westcoast MC in my personal opinion, but he needs a big label to push him to the next level. Is this an album or yet another mixtape?

mixtape/street album....Ras is currently in the final stages of litigation for getting off his contract with Capitol Records.  Once that happens within the next few months you should see him signing to another major label and doing something big again..

I disagree. Hip-hop was built on braggadocio and plenty of emcees made their rep off 'no-name' battle rhymes bigging themselves up (LL for example). I'd rather hear a rapper of Ras' calibre spitting shit like this than a lesser rapper trying to sell me a 'concept' track.

Personally I think this track is hot as fuck. Soul On Ice is forever a classic to me. I lost a little faith in the guy after Rassassination and the Re-up compilation, but Institutionalized is so fucking dope (I'm still bumpong it regularly), that I can't wait for some new shit (and I didn;t even get Revenge of the spit yet:-[)

How can he still be on his deal? Well, at least the guy has been working really hard ever since he came out of jail. This is like his 3rd mixtape in a year or so? He deserves a deal, no doubt....just don't know who will be signing him. Seems like there are a lot of Westcoast artists who deserve a deal, but nobody new is really getting signed.

Rass Kass is dope, but hell never blow up. Hell keep making mixtapes for the rest of his career and we might see a cd if were lucky.

That may be so, I would prefer a song that tells a story, though.

No, but Yung Joc isn't very marketable either if you ask me and he's far from talented in my personal opinion, so what determines success? A big label pushing your shit?

Yeah but its court man..shit just takes time..Capitol Records lawyers are always asking for more time and then something happens and Ras gets less money..or some shit..so they gotta fight it till the end..otherwise he may not get another album out..its a shame..and Ras is the posterboy for bad record deals..but it should be over in a few months..i mean these are teh official words that i get..

unofficially i hear he will be president of G-Unit West once he does get off Capitol.. this is rumor and speculation throughout..Ras wont confirm it or deny it when I ask him directly also..(prolly knowing ill tell the world if i knew the truth..)

Lyrically you cannot question that few can get with Ras Kass. Alot of people do not think that he is a good songwriter, but just go back and listen to Rassassination. That still is a all around dope album. But Ras has got to get this label situation ironed out to really get that kind of a title from me.

True. He's been putting it down since 94. The dude is turing 34 soon. If he hasn't blown up yet in 12 years, it's not going to happen.

I got to admit, i love the album rassasination, i never thought the beats were the greatness but they bring me back to my late teens and brings back memories
