R.A. is a Rugged Man


"And I thought I was the illest" These are the words of the Notorious B.I.G. on R.A. the Rugged Man. For those who are not aware, R.A. is the most slept on rapper of all time. He is straight out of Suffolk county, Strong Island and he is insane. He was supposted to be the biggest thing ever, but due to a lack of sanity and a overworking sex drive, R.A. was pretty much dropped from ever label he'd ever been a part of. It was rumored that R.A. was given around $150,000 to record an album on jive, but spent a good majority of his money on hookers and other time consuming substances. But none the less he is an amazing lyricist and a truly great rapper. Arguably his most famous verse was on Jedi Mind Tricks' Uncommon Valor: A Vietnam Story, where R.A. lays down the craziest, most realistic verse i have ever heard. Our boys' over at Smokingsection.net got a chance to talk to R.A. about the verse and all of you should peep game. It is truly a remarkable verse about his father who was severly effected by the horror scenes of Vietnam and the life altering affects of agent orange. peep game http://smokingsection.rawkus.com/TSS/?p=2577
