Most definitely. I mean, you can argue all day about which super lyrical verses are the nicest but the personal ones, the substantial ones, those are on that next level
I will say this much to you son, I am sorry for you and your whole family. My husband was SSgt T.Wilkins. He suffered and died age 60 agent Orange. We have lost 4 grandkids. It is real....and very painful. God bless you Son ❤
@@randee4550 nah just for the last 25 years of my life not to long but you must not read good!!!! Cuz it said (IN MY OPINION) and it’s just that my opinion
One of the best introductions to the one of the best story tellers. My uncle was a victim of the Agent Orange as well,had died horribly. Told one of many storys
Saw RA and AFRO near Detroit(Pontiac) a couple months ago and watched a grown man moved to tears as that verse was spit. Great emcee and if you get a chance, go see em live
The storytelling is exactly what puts Uncommon Valor at the top for me - I'm just a sucker for storytelling (my all time favorite verse is the first verse on Mr Busdriver). But I agree with you, Rugged's verse on Renaissance is BONKERS
It's an amazing track with a sick beat (shout out to Stoupe), incredible writing by all involved, and a delivery so dope it's hard to measure, and while Vinnie Paz is no slouch, R.A. deserves to be remembered for forever for this track alone. Make no mistake, it's one of HipHop's finest, ever, and that's no small thing. Love and respect to R.A. and his entire family, Jedi Mind Tricks, Talib, and the rest of the People's Party crew. Another important interview... Thank you all.
Incredible. Listened to it when it came out just was listening to some RA as I had discovered him. Now started listening to some Jedi Mind Tricks and Vinnie songs in over a decade and Uncommon Valor popper into mind. Now I get to see him actually talk about it.
Absolutely one of the strongest period the details jam packed true, miracle of breath control unforgettable and will never be forgotten classic in its purest form
this is a real ass story. I thank you for sharing it. My father has Parkinsons from agent orange exposure, many of our soldiers suffer today from the affects of that.
Agent Orange is a mass chemical warfare chemical we used. My sis has multiple autoimmune diseases the worst of them is lupus. I have fibromyalgia, moms had miscarriages and a baby with spinal bifida who didn’t survive. Yes my pops was out there in Vietnam. He was anti war and military after that experience. His fight for our freedom later became a curse on the family. But god bless America cuz america needs all the blessings they can handle. Thank you to all the troops who sacrifice everything. They are young naive heroes who sacrificed for their subjective better good. Life is a trip.
My grandpa was a marine and did two tours in nam (was in operations Hastings and prairie) he had three sons, my father was fine but then I had developed acute lymphoblastic leukemia when I was 7 and we all believe that it was due to agent orange since no one else in my family had had it.
Holy shit I had no idea that was his father my uncle too was in Vietnam and sprayed this liquid death everyday and fought bullets flying over his head god bless him he is alive no cancer thank goodness but his body is done from it
Yeah man i can relate my grandfather was stationed in nagasaki and the radiation mutated dna which gets passed down the xy chromosomes from father to son both my grandfather and father have died of cancer i apllied for a medal for recognition of j force but they never even sent it. I would have served in military if they had honoured our sacrifice but it looks like its gonna be the people vs the system. Worlds crazy
love R.A but i bet before its all said and done his family gets hit off...... they take care of each other like that crazy story tho hope you do get something your family deserves it!!!!!!!!!!!! #Snapplefacts!!!!!!!!!!!!
@@oblivion_007 tbh that sounds kinda homophobic if you “dont like gay culture” and thus like homophobic songs. But hip hop is defly homophobic and idk why this guys thinking vinnie paz is more homophobic then say boosie or dmx. It doest mean i cant like them or there music
@@sneetchyboy1011 i dont like gay culture.though I dont hate homosexual people.if they love assf*,love ass f*... Dont force others to accept they are special.

Is this one of the 50 best rap verses ever?
Most definitely. I mean, you can argue all day about which super lyrical verses are the nicest but the personal ones, the substantial ones, those are on that next level
Yes.
Without a doubt.
Of course!
Absolutely!!
That verse completely blows my mind. I'm glad that RA is getting his flowers because this brother has been laying it down for decades. Respect ✊🏾
I will say this much to you son, I am sorry for you and your whole family. My husband was SSgt T.Wilkins. He suffered and died age 60 agent Orange. We have lost 4 grandkids. It is real....and very painful. God bless you Son ❤
“I don’t want fans who don’t know who G Rap is.”
In my opinion it’s the best verse I’ve ever heard from the bars to the story to the fact it was real hands down my favorite verse ever
You must not listen to that much Hip-Hop
@@randee4550 nah just for the last 25 years of my life not to long but you must not read good!!!! Cuz it said (IN MY OPINION) and it’s just that my opinion
@@Kevin.branum Oh? Well I stand corrected! ⭐⭐⭐IN MY OPINION⭐⭐⭐, you must not listen to that much Hip-Hop.
@@randee4550 to each his own brah
@@Kevin.branum Your "own", is really over the top though. That verse, is mediocre at best. Rakim did a way better job in "Casualties Of War".
One of the best introductions to the one of the best story tellers. My uncle was a victim of the Agent Orange as well,had died horribly. Told one of many storys
His dad was a part of MACV-SOG. Look that shit up bro, literally the most badass of the badass in American military history. The absolute pinnacle
Jesus Christ…
I can not listen to "learn truth" without crying...to me easily one of the greatest most important records ever spit
I was just saying to myself we need RA on this podcast 🔥
Mannnnn stop🤣
@@ProdbyCeeSick Stop What?
@@DCxHornet i dunno bro my fault I don’t even remember commenting on this I musta been high or sumthin 🤷♂️
RA in my top twenty Emcee, no question! loved and bought all he brings, love you too Talib, and Queen on the show!
blessings from UK
I fist learned about the top tier lyricist locksmith from an RA interview several years ago. RA doesn't get nearly enough respect in the rap game.
Haha same. Also discovered Locksmith from that RA interview all those years ago.
Respect to R.A .. a real legend.. I’ve been fucking with him since the beginning
I remember the first time I heard it. Knowing so many Vietnam Vets it really hits hard.
I just remembered this verse and didnt listen to it for like.... 7 years. And I still remembered every word. One of the best verses ever.
RA is dope. that new album bangs.
One of the most intense songs ever! Lyricism at it's best 🔥🔥🔥
Saw RA and AFRO near Detroit(Pontiac) a couple months ago and watched a grown man moved to tears as that verse was spit. Great emcee and if you get a chance, go see em live
Their track " the truth" is one of the greatest tracks of the last decade .. especially RA's verse
Such a dope song. Had no idea how personal it was.
His verse on "Renaissance" with Hell Razah and Tragedy Khadafi is his best. Uncommon Valor is a close 2nd. Great story telling.
The storytelling is exactly what puts Uncommon Valor at the top for me - I'm just a sucker for storytelling (my all time favorite verse is the first verse on Mr Busdriver). But I agree with you, Rugged's verse on Renaissance is BONKERS
I'm a sucker for Stanley Kubrick
Also an amazing verse.
I haven't listened to renaissance in like a decade thanks for the reminder yoo
@@alexe14606 It's incredible. In my top 3 of all time.
I've showed people who don't even like hiphop that verse and there amazed by it.
Amazing track, legendary verse. I've seen RA perform it live too.
Stoupe is so underrated as a beat maker and producer, everything he does is sick.
Facts! From JMT, to his Dutch and Verspertina projects, to Red Martina. Definitely one of my personal, top 5 producers.
@@emmanuelmedina5535Word! Most underrated producer imo

Where the fuck is the rest of this interview...I see R.A. I click👍👍👍
That incredible verse was too real. A masterpiece by RA THE RUGGED MAN!!!!!!
One of the realest human beings in Hip-Hop! That verse alone is better than hundreds of songs out these days. Legendary!
Incredible. Listened to it when it came out just was listening to some RA as I had discovered him. Now started listening to some Jedi Mind Tricks and Vinnie songs in over a decade and Uncommon Valor popper into mind. Now I get to see him actually talk about it.

I hope they talk about the Tim Pool shit
I can’t wait for the full episode. RA is one of the greats.
Need more R.A.
"I'm not that guy!" - RA
He is that guy
God bless RA🤣
Wow always loved this song, crazy to hear the meaning behind this.

Where's the whole interview?!
Full interviews always drop on Monday morning
@@foleyxfoley4398 oh thanks! I didn't know!
OH SNAP* 😎
Dang!! Think of a song with Talib immortal technique
My grandparents owned a restaurant and they was a dishwasher who worked for them his legs were purple because of agent orange.
People hate to hear the truth
Million bucks of ammo,can 1 man carry that weight?
Yeah man i can relate my grandfather was stationed in nagasaki and the radiation mutated dna which gets passed down the xy chromosomes from father to son both my grandfather and father have died of cancer i apllied for a medal for recognition of j force but they never even sent it.
I would have served in military if they had honoured our sacrifice but it looks like its gonna be the people vs the system.
Worlds crazy
Dark World.
Those who don't know it was rainbow herbicides not just orange
DoD def knew what agent orange would do. Crimes against humanity.
Hip Hop Quotable The Source
love R.A but i bet before its all said and done his family gets hit off...... they take care of each other like that crazy story tho hope you do get something your family deserves it!!!!!!!!!!!! #Snapplefacts!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't forget the bikini islands

He's not that guy...
Put on less lip gloss and maybe you can hear the interview, Jasmin.
That has nothing to do with anything. You’re thirsty as hell
@@buffyshillings3138 Watch any interview and you will see how she drops in with random questions.
@@buffyshillings3138 She fucks up any interview because she doesn't have any knowledge.
When Talib greets his guests should tell you something. I am still trying to figure bout what her role is. Daughter?
