Would RA take a prime EM?

And where do you place him in the annals of white rappers
For that matter rappers altogether

his verse on that one jedi mind tricks song is A++

heard that many years ago and started seeking out his other work. very talented, but i still like that verse more than any of his solo shit I've heard.

To early to mid 90's golden age hip-hop old fogeys and late 90's to early 00's backpackers, not at all. To the new breed that are finding out about him now, possibly. Either way, he's still a favorite of mine, but very intermittently.

Have you heard daddy's halo? One of my favorites. But yeah uncommon valor is his best that I've heard

Gift Of Gab absolutely smashed this track. I'm glad to see he's still doing his thing.

With that said, back to listening to some Count Basie.

Track is: uncommon valor

I still have the source magazine that he was a "spotlight" in. He is nice 100%. Don't think he can be on Em's level. I wouldn't say not even close, because he does get on some real shit. But I think Em is in a lane of his own, and hard to compare others to.

Geno 09-17-2017 05:56 PM

Rugged man and em way to different. Flow wise r.a. might fet out on em over certain beats tho. But not the em from d12 album era. That guy WAS the beat

Warthog Lite 09-17-2017 06:31 PM

Devils night? I'm assuming is what your talking about and yeah I 100% agree with that statement. D12 World was, meh.

His verse on Blow my Buzz is the shit

Geno 09-17-2017 07:21 PM

Yes devils knight

Pakistani Hand Cannon 09-18-2017 01:03 PM

R.A. got skills no doubt.

can & has dropped great verses.

he just don't make great music...least none that ive heard.

lacks in too many areas though.

is he a dope rapper? no. can he rap dope? yeah. if that makes sense.

Ghost1 09-18-2017 01:50 PM

yea ^ that's about it

and comparing him to em kindve took a lot of potential quality from this thread

but seems like most are ignoring that thankfully

hes cool. cant really think of when I heard him on a feature and wasn't happy to have heard him.

but word not a song-maker which kindve kills him

WRATH 09-18-2017 05:47 PM

RA is a respected name, i just never checked for him like that.

uh-oh 09-18-2017 05:56 PM

i never liked him personally.

The Dead Poet 09-18-2017 09:18 PM

the double time thing is bullshit to me. Especially since every white emcee seems to think they need to do it.

dull boy 09-19-2017 10:48 PM

This thread makes me happy.

Geno 09-20-2017 07:37 AM

The said vinnie paz R.A. track

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmIH8Sua0Yw

Not sure why it only says vinnie paz and stoupe.. Rugged man slays this beat though. Unreal

Mr. J 09-20-2017 08:34 PM

RA is too underground to be underrated.

Cunt Renaissance was my introduction. He's dope though. I remember forgetting about him until a track he did with J-Live off a Wu compilation

Master Rock 09-21-2017 07:18 PM

Honestly, he is very underrated...Chicago wise...I went to one of his sets and I was pretty upset that not that many people showed up...I felt Chitown disrespected him. He put on an amazing show...and stayed for the fans...Love it..I tried to spar with the brotha but he put me in back on track...I honestly hopes he comes back to the Chi..
