Title: Ras Kass - Nature Of The Threat (some heavy shit)
Post by: Bomb-AŽ on February 27, 2004, 03:12:03 AM
im not gonna comment on the racist aspect of this track and start a whole racism discussion. but what struck me most about this song is the level of knowledge that ras has. the stuff he mentions about indian culture atleast is very accurate so he must have actually studied up on this shit. i can believe i hadnt heard this track until 2day



peace

PS: i jus noticed i became a muthaphukin don....weeeeeee ;D

The entire song is based on the book "The Isis Papers" by Frances Cress Welsing, been looking for it for a while.

Good lookin.  I havent bumped that album in a long time.  Spent too much time on Miami Life (love that song) which is probably why I slept on a few others.  I'll check it when I get home.  Thanks.

marinatin' was the hottest track on that album.  bc powdah.

fuck it.  i just listened to "nature" again. and although "interview" flows better (and is a better concept, and a much better beat) i'm having a hard time making the argument that it's more significant than "nature".  a better song, but not more significant.

-I can't beleive someone has Soul On Ice and doesn't know "Nature Of The Threat", that's just rediculous.

-LOL @ 110% accurate.

-I'd say that "Marinatin'" and "Miami Life" are probably the two worst songs on the album.

Can't recall, I read it somewhere.

alot of the information in "nature" can be found in various forms in numerous places.

marinatin' was the worst song on the album?  lol!  it had the tightest beat.  ras flow is nearly perfect on that one.  how many times can a person listen to "nature of the threat"??  i can throw on marinatin' just about anytime.

the funny thing is, rasassination, van gogh...etc.  alot of ras latest works favors that "marinatin'" type of vybe. sure he has the "interviews" and the "music of the business's"..etc, and i love those tracks too, but alot of his later material favors the sound and style i appreciated the most.  (ooh wee, grindin', 4 much, root of evil...etc).

yeah that is a very good intellectual rap song.  Ras Kass is a really smart guy.
