At first I i thought RA was being overly cautious but as the video went on he grew into it and i thoroughly enjoyed this video, I kind of wished it never ended haha. It went from being a interview to just guys talking about Hip-Hop, I love this channel so so much, keep doing what you're doing please you're teaching young people like me what hip hop is.
Rick Sanchez the intergalactic Hellspawn that’s why my theory is when RA is on feature track with who ever he’s always last and I think theirs a reason for that ....he destroys tracks “”Underground I hold the crown and I ain’t gon’ pass it Every verse that I spit I give birth to a classic””
Omg Dead End hip hop I would like to applaud you guys. You made it. I am aware that you interview other artist such as , killer mike and a few other artist but , RA is a highly respected and underrated mc. And it's good to finally see him get his respect today. Honestly the first time I've heard of RA is bc of you're album review and ever since then I've listen to most of his stuff now. Keep up the good work and keep pushing the envelop . Thanks
I didn't know who L.A The rugged man was until this interview. Then I went ahead and played randomly some of his music. The guy is really dope! This is one of those artists you stumble on that make you realize why you liked rap in the first place.
Im glad that he mentioned Elzhi. Elzhi is soooooo underrated. As far as who is the best lyricist right now? That's up in the air. I would love to see K.Dot go bar for bar with some of the great lyricists in the game like Paz and El. That would be good. He will finally have the competition he has always wanted. Oh El, Where is the damn album?
Hes right about the state of modern hip hop. Old man Jay-Z, old man Eminem, mediocre Kanye, and soft Drake run the game. That's why Kendrick sounds like a god. Don't get me wrong, I love K Dot, but RA is right.
I really like R.A.'s approach to doing his thing (releasing a song every now and then, and doing collabos). That's smart. Legends Never Die was dope. R.A was definitely on point with everything he was saying. Thanks for the interview.:)
Thank you so much Draft Dead End and thank you RA for doing the interview. So refreshing to hear some REAL MUSIC JOURNALIST WITH A REAL MC! Just talking real shit. Iv really hope there is a part two. RA is such an interesting dude. I'd love to meet him. If y'all get the tour schedule post it. I would love if you came to Florida R.A . Legends is definitely in my top 3 this year along Ghostface, and Esoteric and Inspecta Deck Czarface!!
Regarding what R.A said about top rappers paying close attention to underground rappers, that Em line came to my head "I listen to your demo tape and act like i don't like it... 6 weeks later, you hear your lyrics on my shit..." haha...
that rapgenius convo was classic, i agree with the jay z comments. if jay wanted to be lyrically ferocious - he could. but he doesnt care because the people dont care, this generation wouldnt know the difference between Big sean and Big L
i know this comment is from fucking 4 years ago lol but yeah jay z even talks about that shit in some songs like that one song on the black album he has lines like "i dumbed down for my audience to double my dollars they criticised me for it yet they all yell holla" shit like that
hell yes! this is probably the dopest shit u guys ever did next to the hopsin and jarren interviews. it's good to see all these awesome well known artists showin ya'll love. keep the dope shit coming!
I enjoyed that interview, thanks Deadendhiphop. I appreciate it. Hopefully ya'll can do a interview at some point with Oddisee, Murs, GZA, Saroc, or StaHHr.
Excellent interview. R A the Rugged Man is a phuqin lyrical titan in the game. Needs way more recognition. Seems like a real chill brotha. Dead End are the shit. Dope video.
omg when he gets into the slang! im from syd australia and by the time i hit 34 i learned so much slang off guys like wu tang and queens rappers lol im going to wrk talking dhun and gods and shit LOL
Used to really like this guy and always supported him from the early days. I used to play the early joints in clubs and on radio. Then I finally met him when he came to my home town and he was nothing like he was in this interview....never looked at him the same. Its a shame.
If you dont know who this guy is or what he stands for....check out the album Die Rugged Man Die. One of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. The lyrics and beats on that album is what makes this guy legendary! One of the best in it PERIOD!
Just listened to the Legends Never Die album and I liked it. I really liked the chorus and beats in the songs. I never knew RA was so fucking funny lmfao I love this guy. I agree with everything he said in the interview. I love Kendrick btw but I completely agree anyways. I love this interview and he really does look like Sylvester Stallone with a beard. I hope RA stops being underrated.
Thank god someone dissed Kanye and Jay most rappers are fake as fuck R.A the rugged man actually says what's true. And what he said about Kendrick is true he's only so good at the minute cause everyone else is average as fuck Kens good but people rode that control verse way too much.
Man I was talking with a friend about jay-z yesterday and about yeezus and had the same thoughts R.A. had. I never heard of R.A. though I have to check his stuff out.
he kind of reminds me of rocky balboa talking in this video and with that hat on... like from the first rocky movie when he would wear that black hat,,,but he kind of sounds like him talking lol
Underground lovers, go check out Diabolic, he's sick and dope, he's one of those rappers that make you realize his music is the reason why you love underground hip hop.
Niiiiiiiiiice!
Jonathan Gaete Just don't watch then. Big deal.
oohh likee totallyy such a big deal right.
but those vid's tho..lmao
anthony fantano here *gay voice* the internets busiest music nerd. here to say big words and NOT ACTUALLY SAY THAT HE LIKED OR DISLIKED AN ALBUM.
Nate Phillips What do you think the scores are for?
BaldPetros explain that to me dont just listen to monster listen to his fuckin flows on it
R.A. The Rugged Man = Rap Game Sylvester Stallone
That's what I'm saying but the Rocky of Hip Hop!
Myke was so happy when RA dissed Jay...then he said he used to be good, Myke was prolly like "fuck, not you too"
bruh wtf, I watch your channel and I randomly seen you in these comment section from 8 years ago
I'm so glad that Masta Ace has a larger fanbase than I thought, the guy is a legend in Hip Hop. Extremely underrated !!
Lynxchillin93 his last album is a masterpiece! Ace doesn't get the respect and recognition he deserves
AZ, Elzhi, Masta Ace, R.A., Vinnie Paz, Raekwon, Canibus are some of the most underrated lyricists ever.
masta ace is one of the best, slaughterhouse album✌
At first I i thought RA was being overly cautious but as the video went on he grew into it and i thoroughly enjoyed this video, I kind of wished it never ended haha. It went from being a interview to just guys talking about Hip-Hop, I love this channel so so much, keep doing what you're doing please you're teaching young people like me what hip hop is.
I love when RA does interviews, the big homie is mad real.
Myke was completely mesmerized by RA lol such a cool dude.
Love R.A. he bodies anybody he's on a track with.
Rick Sanchez the intergalactic Hellspawn that’s why my theory is when RA is on feature track with who ever he’s always last and I think theirs a reason for that ....he destroys tracks

such a great guy. so smart, props to you guys for having him on the channel
I didn't know who L.A The rugged man was until this interview. Then I went ahead and played randomly some of his music. The guy is really dope! This is one of those artists you stumble on that make you realize why you liked rap in the first place.
I didnt want the video to end. It was so dope listening to him talking about his view on hip hop today cause everything he was saying was spot on.
RA is right about Ali, he's one of the nicest, humblest people you could ever meet.
"Lazy Jay-z...average kanye" - R.A The Rugged Man
man RA is fascinating to listen to
I found R.A. from when he did a song with hopsin and I started look through all of R.A.'s songs and loved how he raps
to me r a had one of the sickest verses on a song ever.. Uncommon valor was incredible
he is such a chill dude when talking and a fucking maniac when rhyming. love this rugged man
Im glad that he mentioned Elzhi. Elzhi is soooooo underrated. As far as who is the best lyricist right now? That's up in the air. I would love to see K.Dot go bar for bar with some of the great lyricists in the game like Paz and El. That would be good. He will finally have the competition he has always wanted. Oh El, Where is the damn album?
RA Rugged is easily the most entertaining interviews to watch. Such a cool dude. He has cool gear
One of the best interviews I've seen in a while! Long live the Rugged Man!
Hes right about the state of modern hip hop. Old man Jay-Z, old man Eminem, mediocre Kanye, and soft Drake run the game. That's why Kendrick sounds like a god. Don't get me wrong, I love K Dot, but RA is right.
lol sounds nice but doesnt make sense
Kendrick would’ve been a god in the 90s as well fuck u mean? Kendrick she’s on every generation past n future
@@hachi180 Kendrick = she .... That's about right
Julian Bell mediocre Kanye might have been the dumbest statement I’ve ever heard.
Yeezus Dropout Kanye has been pretty mediocre for at least 5 years now
i really wish i could meet all of the dead end hip hop foreal
undeRAted
you can see how enthralled c-town is with RA, great video
Can listen to him talk bout hip hop forever💙💙🔥🔥👑
R. A. one of the realist in the game
We need him as a DEHH member!
Outstanding interview! So awesome you guys got to meet with R.A.
I really like R.A.'s approach to doing his thing (releasing a song every now and then, and doing collabos). That's smart. Legends Never Die was dope. R.A was definitely on point with everything he was saying. Thanks for the interview.:)
I came back to re watch this. Modest if you have more material on this put it out!
Thank you so much Draft Dead End and thank you RA for doing the interview. So refreshing to hear some REAL MUSIC JOURNALIST WITH A REAL MC! Just talking real shit. Iv really hope there is a part two. RA is such an interesting dude. I'd love to meet him. If y'all get the tour schedule post it. I would love if you came to Florida R.A . Legends is definitely in my top 3 this year along Ghostface, and Esoteric and Inspecta Deck Czarface!!
Awesome!
R.A. is an amazing lyricist!
This was 30 minutes long but I wanted it to be even longer! Great stuff!
Realist Hip Hop interview ive ever seen lol, seriously
u gotta watch The D.O.C interview in 2 parts as well, he just doesnt give a fuck with the voice loss and says all of it, do so man
Thanks for the heads up buddy, ill check it out
Glad you guys are giving him the publicity he deserves.
Best DEHH interview yet!! Keep up the great work guys!
It's R.A. on DEHH!!!! Holy shit!!!
A legend in the game...good interview
Regarding what R.A said about top rappers paying close attention to underground rappers, that Em line came to my head
"I listen to your demo tape and act like i don't like it...
6 weeks later, you hear your lyrics on my shit..."
haha...
thats my shit!!!! (adlib)
"...people dont buy shit no more they just dub it..."
k2datrack
"That's why I'm still broke and had the number one club hit"
k2datrack ppl still buy records fam the corporate music industry sells is down but that has nothing to do with the independent artist
GRIND ETHIKS MIXTAPE SHOW That was a Em line he recited.
R.A The Rugged Man was absolutely right about the Kendrick thing.
Awww ish!!!!! The Legendary!!!!!
Misanthropik! Thanks for watching, homie!
that rapgenius convo was classic, i agree with the jay z comments. if jay wanted to be lyrically ferocious - he could. but he doesnt care because the people dont care, this generation wouldnt know the difference between Big sean and Big L
i know this comment is from fucking 4 years ago lol but yeah jay z even talks about that shit in some songs like that one song on the black album he has lines like "i dumbed down for my audience to double my dollars they criticised me for it yet they all yell holla" shit like that
This video should have been longer.. great interview.. album of the year hands down
hell yes! this is probably the dopest shit u guys ever did next to the hopsin and jarren interviews. it's good to see all these awesome well known artists showin ya'll love. keep the dope shit coming!
Sometimes when I click on a video on UA-cam and I see it's long I switch off! NOT when this guys on, very interesting, funny and real
I enjoyed that interview, thanks Deadendhiphop. I appreciate it. Hopefully ya'll can do a interview at some point with Oddisee, Murs, GZA, Saroc, or StaHHr.
He's like a rapping rocky balboa

Used to really like this guy and always supported him from the early days. I used to play the early joints in clubs and on radio. Then I finally met him when he came to my home town and he was nothing like he was in this interview....never looked at him the same. Its a shame.

If you dont know who this guy is or what he stands for....check out the album Die Rugged Man Die. One of the greatest hip hop albums of all time. The lyrics and beats on that album is what makes this guy legendary! One of the best in it PERIOD!

I love this interview and he really does look like Sylvester Stallone with a beard. I hope RA stops being underrated.
Thank god someone dissed Kanye and Jay most rappers are fake as fuck R.A the rugged man actually says what's true. And what he said about Kendrick is true he's only so good at the minute cause everyone else is average as fuck Kens good but people rode that control verse way too much.
