    Rugged man was one of the most underrated lyricists in rap back before Eminem even got into the battle scene. He was one of the first white rappers that got record deal and almost broke the black only mindset in the industry at the time but he legit partied so hard they let him go and decided not to promote him. He also had been ripped by some large producers more then once. He deserved this win

      Really? I thought the whole message was the contrary, he was parodying mainstream celebrities that part was obvious and the bit where he dies and those random hollywood actors just try to play it off like nothing happened and try to move your attention to this "new" celebrity who came out of the blue.
      Why were random strangers surrounding the baby as if its done anything worth noticing? Isnt that a bit odd?
      IMO he was saying how the media artificially creates these "celebrities" who say they had a rough life and what not and if they "could do it then so could you" except unlike everyone else, they were literally made into celebrities by the corporate media. They just say that "you can be famous too" bs to give the normies false hope and distract them from the fact that their life is hell. Which is also because of corruption by the same group, who only cares about the root of all evil (hint:$$$) and values their power and temporary lifestyle over this world and its inhabitants.
      This mindset is the justification for majority toxic pollution that's already caused mass extinctions in the past 100 years alone.

He is so brilliant, even in his grandiose moments, he can still not take himself too seriously. He can turn the crazy, provocative, and offensive into the uplifting, illuminating, and profound. My dream day would be to just follow him around and see how he does it all. In his words and music, it's obvious he has seen the ugly side of this world. How he copes is to make it his happy existence. We should all learn from him. RA, I am so glad to know you.

You would get that excitement back in the days on who's album is sick who is the most lyrical who's got the sick beats, production. Everything was quality in the 90s. I remember hearing about a new group called Black Moon when were dropping there first album Enta da stage and there was just massive hype around it and we were all just so excited for it to drop and when it came out guess what??? I went running down the music store like linford Christie. Grabbed the black moon album and back home and blasted the shit out of the album.

      Idk that’s really subjective in this case. He’s definitely very skilled at what he does, but that early 2000s cartoony rap didn’t age well. D12, Obie Trice and others singles don’t get play anymore. Only ones that do really are some of Eminem’s with his Slim Shady persona, and maybe Redman once in a while...
      Lol I do see there’s over a million views here now though so people must be on a nostalgia trip I guess... I still feel like this song is missing the best part of what made most of those songs good - a hook. The chorus here is weird it’s not really catchy with him just starting and stopping the words in a weird timing and order...

      Rich Nixdorf RA is such a lyrical inspiration to my writing style. I love his schemes so much. Lol I just dropped a track the other day! I have the second verse on "New Shoes" if you are interested in new music you should check me out 🤙🏼
