ratheruggedman...
The intro is actually one of the best tracks on the album, but the whole thing is a masterpiece which will be remembered for decades to come.
IKR. And I think I have an idea how the 3LP's may have been pressed. Fuck I can't wait for my splatter! The first Four perfect flip to SideB - Dragon Fire, SideC - Gotta Be Dope, Side D,E,F few ways it could be done either way, all gonna work!
@@OdiousBlack theres nothing wrong with rock. It's great music
I was expecting the beat switches. That second beat is craazy 🔥
redcomic619 I agree.
*In a bane voice* : maybe for you.
"For every fan who said my music saved their life, this is for you
Without the love from fans, I'd be dead, you saved my life, too"
True Legend - Whole album is a true masterpiece
Yeah
This is peak poetic lyricism in rap form.
"For every fan who said my music saved their life, this is for you
Without the love from fans, I'd be dead, you saved my life, too"
damn homie no need to get me all emotional over here
this quarantine just officially got rugged.
reading your comment gave me flashbacks, i might have covid ptsd 😅
from the golden era. a dying breed, a true lyricist. forced to release another album just to show new gen how rap is done.
And to pay his bills lol
Not only the most underrated rapper but most underrated person.
The suspense is killing me🤦🏻♂️
I am not sure about "underrated" though.
Everyone I knows with some decent knowledge about Hiphop respects the fuck outta R.A. man
The dude is a class act too. After a show he did here in Toronto he came into the crowd and took pics with everyone that wanted one and was chatting to fans. I printed ours out and have it framed. This guy is such a beauty
@@nicklovinit damn when was that show? Sad I missed that
Nah man those titles go to other people entirely. Ra is well known to be I'll. Just isn't mainstream.
RA and the four owls album on the same day! both instant classics damn
"Knock knock it's hip hop's most shocking provocateur-" That beat switch always gives me the stank face
Love it when hip hop does that
rugged man's greatest intro track 👍.
This man just dropped a masterpiece. I'm on my 20th listen of this album. If you like the introduction wait til you hear the rest. Buying the physical version ASAP.
Floyd Clifton run the jewels 💎
ya. this is an instant classic. every point was well done in every degree
I'm doing the same but till i can get my hands on it gotta stream it, glad to hear someone say they're gonna buy it aswell gotta pay for it show some love supporting independent artists not just ripping there shit off UA-cam if it was a record label I'd say fuck it just steal it
@@mattsmith1028 I got the album 4 nothing but I'm seeing him live in September props to R.A 2 tickets for £34 can't wait.
30 years Into His Career! It's Amazing.
The best Intro I've ever heard in all my years listening to Hip Hop, classic LP.
I think I can speak for everyone that every track on this new album is fire
True
Maybe the features made it better
Without the features this album was ass!
@@flubber8 do you think legends never die was better?
You have my permission..
He didn't let the industry-leading companies stop him, blessings to him cause he can truly Rap & always had skills.
When the intro is better than 99% of other rappers best tracks you know you’re in for an instant classic
Mmm idk aesop rock
1:14 RA is a definition of switching flows while hes lirically advising you before he does it talking about he is an original rap legend and dissing wannabees
The way he switches flows so flawlessly is what makes him a legend. His pen game is insane, but his ability to adapt to any flow is unheard of.
truly the KING of the underground. God only knows why mainstream doesn't recognize you.
Because don't matter how you turn it this is thinking music, mainstream don't like thinking and especially not for themselves✌
So long as R.A. is breathing
Hip Hop will NEVER be dead.
Man ive BEEN SLEEPING ON R A ..
Not no moooeeee im awake 💪💪
All My Heroes Are Dead is not just a great album in every angle (prod, lyrics, flow, feat...).
It's a tribute to what hip-hop was, is and always will be !
Thank you for this masterpiece, RA
I turned off my targeted ads and WAP remix was the first thing to pop up,I cam here from there. I am late to the party,but glad to see it still going-GET THIS MAN A SPOT IN THE HIP HOP HALL OF FAME !!!!!!! Substantive rap will save us from the 2020 clown fest!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This album was one of the rare 2020 highlights. Straight Fire, one of those rare legendary albums you can just pop on and push play.
R.A. new album is so beyond fire man! Undisputably a classic!
@Happy Thanos hes from New Jersey but currently living In Germany i believe.
I stream this album on spotify and youtube nonstop on repeat even when i'm not home. Gotta support the most underrated LEGEND!!
From lyrics, to beats, to concepts, to overall finished product this is the greatest solo Hip Hop album ever put together. Well done R.A..
Big G chill
Its not even close to a solo album lol just about every song has like 3 or more features still a fire album
Illmatic. Stop. Lol.
The fact that you stated that the "fans saved you too" is extremely touching,you have a fan for life,😎 I know you are an awesome dad too,blessing
"Mussolini body blowing in the wind" 😂😂😂 Even a bar about existential nihilism this blew my mind
Hats off for keeping Old School alive!!!
This album is AMAZING, certainly one of the greatest ever produced. In 2020, it`s hard to believe... R. A. even brings back Chuck D, Ice T and Jazzy Jeff, you really must be kidding... The first time I have listened to R. A. was on the first track of Soundbombing 1 back in high school, 25 years later the Man is still on stage collaborating with a new generation of true MC`s like A-F-R-O, bridging the old to the new. RESPECT! Peace from Montreal!
RA is a diamond among the coal in HipHop.
God bless.
Even if you don't like his music, you gotta respect him. He puts more work into one track than many put into an entire album. Salute to a real emcee.
Tom Mcdonald
My brotha!!! R.A!!!!!!!! Let’s Go!!!!!
Good things come to those who wait. Thank you.
I never heard of this guy but I am now a fan. God bless him.
Yeah it felt like a viral joke when somebody I have never heard of is suddenly all over my algorithm, but this is pretty good
R.A. is a Legend.
R.A. is so good. I'm glad you stumbled across him.
I found him from an album list
One of the best albums I ever heard.
I've got straight up chills going through your catalog...
this is an album so good i could listen all of the songs in order every time no skippin. i cant say that about any others iv already listened to it 3 times.
Hes one of the few people ive ever seen live that might axtually be better in person. I wish i coukd see him every night
R.A the album is phenomenal !!!
Thank you for keeping real hip hop alive
Bizzy Bone, Dmx, Dave East, Em, Caine, Young Buck, Obie Trice, Royce 59, LOX, Juelz, BTnH, Krayzie Bone(goat), TPain, RA Rugged man, Nas, Big Sean, Wu Tang, Method, Redman, Wiz Khalifa, D12 and many more have been bringing it in 2020!! And keeping me considerably happy with hip hop. It's coming back big again and with all this bs with economy race. Covid and politics I have these guys to thank for the passing time 💯#HipHop
Still the best Album for now 2020-2022! Nobody dropped something harder than this yet!
I remember many years ago thinking this man would forever be unknown. Rugged could never be kept down.
Back to back classic albums!
Mad ting 🎤🔥🇬🇧
burned more than just a memory and three sides of the blackbook..thanks for all you did during the years
Ever track is a masterpiece thank you for this project
I've been around hip hop my whole life. This is the first time I've heard of this cat and he snapped
Didn't hear album in a while where i could listen to all songs without skipping. It was worth to preorder this even if i had to paid much more for shipping overseas.
You not searching hard enough or just lying pusha t Daytona was fast forward proof
@@cav65 It's personal preferences. I don't listen to Pusha T at all. I prefer the old sound of hip-hop. I think the last time i could listen to whole album was Locksmith- No Question but on the other hand it was just 8 songs. You can name some albums here so i can check it if i didn't hear them.
@@Chriss_9922 got cha ..I see what your saying
The obstacle is the way.
RA shows us how to come back stronger.
His intro to his albums are always the ones that leave blissful feeling
RA been that dude FOREVER, no questions asked. Up there with the real, puts fifty,Em n most these other artist to shame
RA's new record was a classic the day it dropped, LEGENDS NEVER DIE!!!!!!
goooing in on em
.....thank you MC Viruz for blessing me this morning with bringing that ol 80/90 percenter era rap
I'm hoping you make videos for THE WHOLE ALBUM - I can't believe how dope that joint is... then again, yes I can.
i'm hoping too,that pimp hat was a touchè
Skiilz Mitchell Right !?!?!?!?
What are u seeing that I’m not
Hell of an introduction. 4real 4real. He stayed on the beat with different flows n different beats but his rhyming n flow just didnt change it went straight like a arrow hitting the target. Bullseye. Nice.
You did it again bro. Album was worth the wait!
griselda and rugged albums,this quarentine is muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch better GODS!!
Hip Hop is alive,fuck yeah! Respect from Spain.
R.A. the Rugged Man is just an absolute legend! No question.
best intro of an album I listened to in my life
The way the beat keeps switching up and how he keeps killing each one shows he is a true legend
You... Yep. Saving my life. A month ago my daughter's father overdosed on fentanyl alone in his room. He was. My. Best. Friend. We are 2 entirely different worlds apart. He was the gangster to my crust punk. You were an idol of his, he was an intellectual, and a beautiful old soul. The only thing that has been keeping my head above water is connecting through the music he loved. Cheers G.
Legit been listening to Ra since I was 9 ... He doesn't disappoint
Hell yes. This shit was pure fire, RA! I love when dude just rips the pants off the track all the way through... no chorus, no nothin... just bars.
Keep speaking the truth RA stay rugged. Life saved my guy thanks for getting me through a bad time in my life. Much love keep being you!
I tattooed "LIFE IS BRUTAL BUT BEAUTIFUL" on my left fore arm. This music was made for me!
Life is brewtul, but bootyful.
This is what EM wanted to BE !!!! Respect to R.A !!!!
"Not the snitching, gossiping blog era of TMZ //
I'm from the old and golden era home of EPMD"
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Cuh, that was tight but it wasn't even the hardest rhyme!! When he said "When my pen touches paper pages feel violated, shook, I me tooed my notebook the speech creep the known crook
Classic album will go down as 1 of the best hip hop albums ever!!!!!
All my Heroes are Dead was exactly the rap album I needed to listen to, THANK YOU RA!!!
I wish I could tell you in person how much I love this album. I listen to your music constantly. Whether it's on my bike to work or while I'm working out. You constantly inspire me to keep going. You've made a humongous impact on my life RA
Malice of mammon is probably my fav track on the album..
None of the songs needed a video, but I'm still gonna watch it.
RA never let's me down but what an Intro!
Such consistency throughout this whole project.
Great body of work and props for giving people what they need to hear!
Dude is one of the few that just gets better with time
The rhyme scheme is bananas on this one R.A 🔥🔥💯
Went to listen to the album again last night and couldn’t get past this track! The beats and flow changes are bonkers.
I have that with "Gotta be dope" that track can not get listened at without it going on repeat!
Thank you brother, for keeping Hip Hop alive and giving hope to the masses that it indeed isn't dead. The real Hip Hop warriors have be relegated to "underground" because mainstream is brainwashing the populace to dumb us down! Don't stop bro. I'm fan of the Golden Era, and cats like you and Tech, etc breathe life into the soul of the Hip Hop genre.
Wow you sound so super duper duper hiphop . 🤪
One of the most underrated of all time
Rugged constantly has me in tears. So funny.
Heroic material.
Im soo happy this track was made into a video! Puro RA The Rugged Man!
I'm even happier because I got to be in it! Sry had to tell someone!😁
Classic album
RA is an artist I'm happy to help make wealthy cause he deserves it, not because he was chosen to be 'the next big thing' by some record executive
Best album yet
Crustified LEGEND 🤘🏻🤘🏻
This album has been bumping in my car ever since it dropped.. thank you RUGGED MAN!!!!!
This is hard af much love from the UK 🇬🇧
Just listened to the full album.. and now I can say all my heroes are featured in this album. Thanks for saving hiphop and us from corona..
Hot damn! RA is on another level. I bet nobody will diss back. He bodied the industry.
Oooft just ridiculous with it 🤯 this whole album is banging 👌
Album of the decade. Welcome to 2020. Where the culture revives for the greatest resurgence. 👐
dope
Luke you're a bit late but welcome to one of the top truth tellers out there ,I think a chat between you and RA would be fascinating.
I see you Luke 👀 Out here doing gods work my friend. Love from Canada
@@justincarr8178 funny, I think Luke and RA are personal friends there's videos of them together from like 4 years ago...
@@nubybeats8130 Ahhh didn't know.
dope-y
That switch-up in flow when R.A.'s driving the car and flying the spaceship is so sick!
fuck, i listened to it for the third time now and it hits so fucking hard. I really don't want this genre to die. please continue doing what you do.
Always welcome RA
An amazing intro to the album. One of the most underrated hip-hop artists out there.
Keep real Hip-hop alive!
Peace and love ✌️ ♥
One of the realest
Your lyrics age like wine pure coke with every line!
True
One of the best MC'S ever. Fuck all the labels that hated on RA, true spitta
