    I always thought Eminem earlier in his career reminded me of a mix between Chino XL, Masta Ace and Redman
    Chino's first album "Here to Save You All" is criminally slept on; every track is dope
    Pac dissing him in Hit Em Up gave Chino better promotion than Def American Recordings could afford
    As far as Rass Kass, Soul on Ice is a bonafied classic
    If Rass was from NYC, that jawn would've been considered neck-and-neck with Illmatic
    It's a shame that east coast publications downplayed the beats when not one song is skippable
    The track "Ordo Abchao (Order Out Of Chaos)" speaks about what's going on today as far as covid-19 and the pandemic...and that dropped in '95!
    The double meanings on that jawn is crazy

    Ras Kass is so underrated with a respectable catalogue. People ask why he didnt blow up but those of us that kno underground hip hop kno and love Ras. Labels sometimes dont do their artists justice and I dont think they knew how to deal with his style and talent at the time. "Soul on ice" is a hip hop classic that many have never gotten a chance to hear. Ras is a true lyricist and fan of hip hop and his approach is pure love and respect for the art form. West coast had so many amazing artists during the golden age of the 90s hip hop scene and Im not talkin bout Coolio. lol. Souls of mischief, Del da funky Homosapien,Evidence,J5 just to name a few. I was fortunate to catch some great live shows and meet many of those artist, Ras was always humble and having the time of his life. Back in 96, I ran into him in old town Pomona after one of his shows and eventhough he had his hand full w two girls,he still took the time to say thanks for showing up to his show. Classy mf!

      Coolio helped Ras get his break. Why is it cool to hate on Coolio? Ras said it himself - Ras knew how to rap, Coolio knew how to sell rap records. He'd been rapping since the late '70s and when most would've given up he did not and ended up winning a Grammy. He was an OG who tried to bring all his people up with him and who most reputable artists in the game loved and respected.

      Thats right, it motherfucking was 👍🏽.
      A lot of those beats didnt have the standard Death Row typical west coast sound to them, so Id speculate that Death Row didnt really kno what to do with those beats and just dismissed those producers as "wack'.
      To be real, it probably would have taken someone like Pac to make those beats iconic. I love Snoop but I doubt he coulda done anything good with, for example, the 'Hail Mary' beat. And only Pac coulda done 'Krazy' 🔥🔥

    In my opinion, the Makaveli Album is the greatest, controversial, deep, thought provoking and raw album. From the intro to outro, no rap album in history covers beef, politics, the black nation, slavery, the industry, religion, death, life, the LORD's prayer, pain, history and the media.
    Listen to 'blasphemy' with your ears open. Listen to 'Hold Ya Head' with your eyes closed. Listen to 'To Live And Die In LA' with a smile on your face and listen to 'Against All Odds' with the volume loud.
    "These felonies be like prophecies begging me to stop cause these lawyers getting money every time they knock us. Snatch they pockets lyrically suckas flee when they notice, switched my name to Makaveli had the rap game closed."
