yeah that, but Ras really made himself sound weak, he def could have done better defending his position in WestCoast Underground, that basically b’ing up 💯
@@ExplisitHipHop lol, umm no, not sure what story you have heard, but anyway, trust, i’m a huge fan of WestCoast underground Hip Hop Music & Culture and Ras as well, i just didn’t care for this senecio he painted right here, more than likely because he was on this “Art of Dialogue” that is pro Pac, which i am not pro 2pac anything outside of some of the movies that i enjoy where he acted in
@@whywomenhatemyforeskin1412 yes. Unfortunately Ras never blew up like he was supposed to. He was Dre's first project after leaving the Row. Look up Ghetto Fabulous
because he is not versatile enough---too underground. its almost all lyrical underground sounding music and not enough funky rhythmic tracks or 808 hitters
He could've been better. He has lyrical skills but as the other poster mentioned he need versatility. I listened to the debut album and its a bunch of metaphores and too much name checking celebrities.
“And despite high schoolin I be high, refusin to listen to what the PTA say, eff a 4.0 G.P.A., I got a 5.0 GTA hittin the chop shop, with an ETA of 3 o’clock, so shake the spot” that shit always blows my mind how smooth it is and how vividly he describes it.
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!
I knew rass was cold on the lyrics back in the day too..after watching this interview he said he was glad pac didn't diss him....it would have helped his career and he doesn't even seem like he knows that...smh
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.
Let's not forgot that Ras was also tight with Saafir. Saafir and Pac were staying together whilst touring with digital underground but eventually fell out. Saafir would later link up with Chino XL and record a few records together
@KinnyMack I hear he's still in a wheelchair struggling with day to day tasks but he has his family and loved ones with him to help. Hoping that he gets the medical help he needs to make things easier for him and improve his quality of life
It almost sounds like Ras kass wanted 2pac to diss him to!! Like he would have been honored to be dissed by Pac. Exactly like Havoc said he was honored Pac dissed Mobb Deep because it meant they was validated and important in the game.

Yep. And for those that don't know, Em spent A LOT of time in his early days around NJ artists. The Outsidaz, Chino and Redman are all connected, and Em was around that.
That's why I don't get in the WHO IS THE BEST/GOAT, because I understand that there are so many great emcees that seem to disappear, or never brung up in the mentions of great emcees. There are far too many emcees kicked to the curb, forgotten, and never mentioned who deserve their credit due. I feel you on that one!

@@sunset2798 It makes perfect sense if east coast rappers move in silence the public wouldn't know about Nas and Jay Z beef. If the east coast moved in silence the public wouldn't know about the 50 Cent and Ja beef.
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." Exit Tupac Enter Makaveli.

I never knew how severe the hate for Pac was as a kid. But there's alot of people that's quiet that had beef with fam too. Whenever I think Im having it rough I think. Pac must've had it rougher.

I remember when I first heard that line from Edi on Makaveli and I thought to myself this beef is beyond the East Coast. He just dissed a dude reppin the West Coast.
@@quann06 if there was no Chino XL, Eminem would have stolen someone else’s style. He is needed. He is an originator and one of the greatest MC’s like MF that you don’t regularly hear about or from
Good interview! I heard about the 2Pac & Xzibit issues. But, I didn't know the issue stemmed from the How do you want it/ Paparazzi songs. I agree with his opinion about Hail Mary❤🔥🔥🔥💯
It's funny that some of the giants of west coast rap are from the east coast. Obviously Tupac is from N.Y., but Chino XL arguably one of the best pure rapper/spitters ever is from East Orange, N.J. Kurupt one of the best rhymers is from Philly. And the FATHER of west coast gangsta rap Ice T is from my hometown of Newark, N.J.
Yea that's crazy, when you say it like that it makes me think who are the best spitters that are really 100% from the west coast? Some who come to mind are Crooked I, Gift of Gab, Aceyalone, Myka 9, Abstract Rude, the rest of freestyle fellowship and hieroglyphics, but I'm not even sure if all of them were born on the west too
Soul on ice was one of my favorite albums growin up. I use to bump that from beginning to end. Salute to one of the most underrated lyricists of all time
Pac was not thinking about no damn xzibit on how do you want it. Those rhymes where so real and tight pac was talking bout his life political stuff on a whole other level of rapping straight classic. Xzibit was a nobody and not even worthy of pacs attention.
I guess you didn't watch the whole interview. Xzibit song came out after how do you want it. Pac heard it and thought he was dissing him even though Xzibit made the song two years earlier.
@@Marlin0077 I watched all the interview and pac didnt think that foh it's a interview out there where edi told pac he though xzibit dissed pac. And edi made a comment on xzibit you just heard rass kass say one of the outlaws said something on makaveli album he talking bout edi.
i´ve been saying this for years!! y'all need to do an interview with Chino XL !! he´s a member of Mensa, and he´s one of the illests punchliners ever!! That Tupac diss was hard !!

@@koffiged absolute truth . Pac only dissed chino bc he felt he was coming at him trying to attack his manhood. Chino never meant it as a diss. No one tried pac in jail like that besides early on. He told people straight up you think this is a game or some kinda made up shit I'll have you touched. Pac was never afraid to fight. Dude was not playing.
I heard people say that around that time but becaused I never heard of X responding and nothing further from neither Pac or the Outlawz, I thought nothing of it. Like u say, learn something new...
@@namerankserialnumber4387 X did respond.He got song with a prodigy sample .might have been a mixtape joint or underground song.At the time it was a dart because PAC was dissing Mobb Deep
@@lochofmceo I was 11 when the song came out. I wasn't diggin' into the back stories like that. I didn't start breaking down the back stories down until I was about 15.
I dont even think Chino dissed Pac. I always took that line not that he was saying 'Pac got fucked in jail', but that Pac was trying not to get fucked in jail. Has Chino XL ever commented on what his intent was?
It was a diss. Hence why ras didn't like the line. That album was ful of name drops and disses so yes it was diss. Chino was a punchline shock rapper and he knew what he was doing.
@@Manny-nm8dh That's what Jay-Z said in one of his lines on the song "Blueprint 2"...."just because you don't understand him, don't mean that he's nice, just means you don't understand all the bull**** he writes"
We heard the "Hit em up" without the edit/pause where he said "F little Ceasar, lil Kim, & Jay-Z. When he was killed & Makaveli dropped he said Jay-Z again on Bomb 1st so we all went researching (going to a record store back then) & Reasonable Doubt was full on the shelves. My cousin bought a Cassette the rest is history.
That line was taken out of context. When he said “You’ll be fucked like Tupac in jail,” he meant that Pac was fucked (in a bad space) because he’s in prison. That came from Chino himself.

Had no idea Pac had an issue with Xzibit. Anyway, Edi Mean is the one who said that Paparazzi line. And honestly it wasn't even viscious to the point of causing a feud... Also, it's funny when I hear some rappers clearly in retrospect felt honored or wished 2pac dissed them. So what's the fuss!

Kurupt one of the best rhymers is from Philly. And the FATHER of west coast gangsta rap Ice T is from my hometown of Newark, N.J.
Yea that's crazy, when you say it like that it makes me think who are the best spitters that are really 100% from the west coast? Some who come to mind are Crooked I, Gift of Gab, Aceyalone, Myka 9, Abstract Rude, the rest of freestyle fellowship and hieroglyphics, but I'm not even sure if all of them were born on the west too
Don’t forget Snoop is an East sider. 😁
Man whatever lol
Soul on ice was one of my favorite albums growin up. I use to bump that from beginning to end. Salute to one of the most underrated lyricists of all time
I remember hearing "Nature of the Threat" for the first time.....🤯! Mind blowing!
@@KiambuX Exact same feeling bro💯
@@RobJusticethelegend ☝🏿✊🏿
when are people gonna realise that Eminem = Chino XLs style plus Opios voice
🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭
Never thought of it that way!
As a 2pac fan chino xl is cool af with me
I love how he's giving others their 💐 ..
Kass is a real one
KM Hemmans The RUclipsr
Ras kass is a true lyricist.
Pac was not thinking about no damn xzibit on how do you want it. Those rhymes where so real and tight pac was talking bout his life political stuff on a whole other level of rapping straight classic. Xzibit was a nobody and not even worthy of pacs attention.
I guess you didn't watch the whole interview. Xzibit song came out after how do you want it. Pac heard it and thought he was dissing him even though Xzibit made the song two years earlier.
@@Marlin0077 I watched all the interview and pac didnt think that foh it's a interview out there where edi told pac he though xzibit dissed pac. And edi made a comment on xzibit you just heard rass kass say one of the outlaws said something on makaveli album he talking bout edi.
@@Soill33 yeah on Bomb First. He addressed Xzibit.(Xzibit is the rapper who made the song paparazzi)
@@skylinegtr8279 right!
You wanted Pac to think about you ol fruity azz ngga
🗣 Hope to hear Kass (lookin back in hindsight) speak on the feud between himself & GAME
There's a Vlad interview where they speak on it
tupac one of few artists people love talking about after his death
Peace and Love (7) . Kass always letting you know Nationality is the Order of the Day.
i´ve been saying this for years!! y'all need to do an interview with Chino XL !! he´s a member of Mensa, and he´s one of the illests punchliners ever!! That Tupac diss was hard !!
It wasn't even intended to be a diss. No one.tried pac other than early on .. chino even explained this years ago.
Shit was garbage

@@noid6720 bruh, really?
@@koffiged absolute truth . Pac only dissed chino bc he felt he was coming at him trying to attack his manhood. Chino never meant it as a diss. No one tried pac in jail like that besides early on. He told people straight up you think this is a game or some kinda made up shit I'll have you touched. Pac was never afraid to fight. Dude was not playing.
Can’t wait for the full interview
I didn't realize that EDI paparazzi line was an Xzibit diss. You learn something new everyday.
I heard people say that around that time but becaused I never heard of X responding and nothing further from neither Pac or the Outlawz, I thought nothing of it.
Like u say, learn something new...
It was direct as hell
@@namerankserialnumber4387 X did respond.He got song with a prodigy sample .might have been a mixtape joint or underground song.At the time it was a dart because PAC was dissing Mobb Deep
@@lochofmceo I was 11 when the song came out. I wasn't diggin' into the back stories like that. I didn't start breaking down the back stories down until I was about 15.
@@lochofmceo
Ah right. I never knew about X responding. Thanks 👍🏽
I remember Ras . He dope as hell. Much respect to that mane
I dont even think Chino dissed Pac. I always took that line not that he was saying 'Pac got fucked in jail', but that Pac was trying not to get fucked in jail. Has Chino XL ever commented on what his intent was?
That's a diss line bro either way
It was a diss. Hence why ras didn't like the line. That album was ful of name drops and disses so yes it was diss. Chino was a punchline shock rapper and he knew what he was doing.
Pac did get fucked in jail though. That's pretty common knowledge in hip hop circles
Underrated with a different type flow and delivery hip hop needed.
Big Ups to Ras Kass for this interview and him wearing that Mexican Soccer hat "Cruz Azul" go Chivas though
Makaveli Tha Don Lives On!!
Ras Kass is the best Mc from Cali. Period. He was kendrick before kendrick. He definitely deserves his flowers. That soul on ice 2 is 🔥
Knock it off. Have you heard of Paris, ice cube or mc ren?
@@columbusohio72 ras kass would destroy them lyrically. Only Mc he would have a problem with is king crooked
To me, he's better than Nas. Most cats can't even understand most of Nas lyrics and say he's nice lol.
@@Manny-nm8dh That's what Jay-Z said in one of his lines on the song "Blueprint 2"...."just because you don't understand him, don't mean that he's nice, just means you don't understand all the bull**** he writes"
Ras and pac ran in the same circles and both were pro black. Them collabs would of been lit
Let’s Go Art!!!
Rass lowkey wanted Pac to mention him 😂
💯🤣
I felt like saying you weren’t on there because hardly anyone knew his name at the time.
Because it would have really helped rass career given how dope he is. I don’t blame him.
Never heard of Chino xl until Pac mention him just like that nigga with sickle cell ..Pac made niggas careers😭😭😭😭
True
Y’all crazy mobbdeep been out way before the pac diss. Stop 🥜 riding
@@jaystacks5249 you obviously can't read, I didn't even know who mobb deep or chino xl was until I heard hit ' em up
Mobb deep already had a number 1 album 2 years before pac made hit em up dipshit
If u never heard of prodigy then u speaking on hip hop is like me speaking on hockey lol mobb deep were gon b legends regardless of hit ‘em up lol
Chino XL & Jay-Z came into my realm because Pac said their names.
Definitely Chino
We heard the "Hit em up" without the edit/pause where he said "F little Ceasar, lil Kim, & Jay-Z. When he was killed & Makaveli dropped he said Jay-Z again on Bomb 1st so we all went researching (going to a record store back then) & Reasonable Doubt was full on the shelves. My cousin bought a Cassette the rest is history.
FACTS
@@TheShadow84 that’s cuz jay was talking shots at pac opening up for biggie and he was close to biggie
When a big megastar gets at unknown rappers, that's more of a shout out than a diss.
That line was taken out of context. When he said “You’ll be fucked like Tupac in jail,” he meant that Pac was fucked (in a bad space) because he’s in prison. That came from Chino himself.
He was throwing shots at Pac but he realized it was a no win situation
Chino was trying to save face.
Bullshit he clowned biggie too in that same song
Soul on Ice and Rassassination are two of my favorite rap albums of all time.

🎯
Great video
Tupac brought tickets to his show he supported soul on ice I’m glad he’s getting his flowers more love to rass
Kass was maybe a little ahead of his time. Real MC right there
🙋🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️💭 ART WE NEED THIS INTERVIEW HOMIE REAL TALK!!!!
Everyday of my life is off the ringer, that’s guaranteed like a fist fight on jerry springer. Rip to Pac though 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🔥🔥🔥
Living legend. Ras kass
RIP CHINO XL!!! Ras Kass and Chino made a classic record!
The only reason I know Chino Xl was cause of Pac I can honestly say I never heard 1 song lol
to bad bruh chino xl is an underground rap legend.
Listen to creep by Chino
Chino xl is whack.
Str8 Like Dat.. I second that
Same here, if it wasn't for PAC I wouldn't know that N*gga
he be killing me with the "yo" shit lol
And “my man” lol
Ain’t he from Dallas?
If Rass Kass be talking about Pac like this, truly Pac was the beast heavy in the Game.
I see that circle 7 on that sweater Ras Kass. Honors to the Prophet Noble Drew Ali who laid it down! ✋✌ 🌜 🌟 👳 ❤ L.T.P.F.J.
Ras Kass is a lyrical icon
Ras Kass and Everlast had one the best collaborations… The Long Way.. You will not be disappointed.
Love Ras Kas. One of my favorite West Coast MC's
The Xzibit line on Makaveli was by EDI Mean. I don't think I've ever heard 2pac say anything in a song or interview about Xzibit.
Had no idea Pac had an issue with Xzibit. Anyway, Edi Mean is the one who said that Paparazzi line. And honestly it wasn't even viscious to the point of causing a feud... Also, it's funny when I hear some rappers clearly in retrospect felt honored or wished 2pac dissed them. So what's the fuss!
Which is funny alot of rappers were and still are fanboys of Pac and Ja gets the most hate from it like he was the only one.
@@andrebryant5081 Exactly.
Very enlightening. Thanks, both! Art + Kass
RasKass the real Westcoast Don of hiphop...
🤡
Never have I ever saw a Nigga forget “hit em up” … Cmon Son * Ed Lover voice *
Bac n da dayz Rass was 1 of my favorite west coast rappers Lotta east coast cats ain't know nothing bout dude a true M.C real skills.
Ras Kass another underrated Emcee
Man you got the GOAT Ras Kass
Soul on ice is a certified classic, altho heavily slept on!
