- "Renaissance Child" on iTunes / Apple Music: itunes.apple.com/us/album/111...
"Renaissance Child" on Spotify: open.spotify.com/album/5K5DCL...
Classic singe from Hell Razah's debut album "Renaissance Child", now available worldwide via Nature Sounds. - Hudba
R.A himself had this to say about the track:
_"I fucking obliterated this track, I had to, Razah asked me to get on a joint wit' him, Timbo and an icon like Tragedy Khadafi so I knew I had to come correct. To me Trag is one of the best that ever lived. Nas, Mobb Deep, Capone & Nore, and so much of the whole QB sound came from him, so when I got to the studio I just kinda blacked out. This here is an all time classic hip hop record, it don’t matter if it gets play or not, we don’t need radio, while the big corporations play their nursery rhyme shit, the underground heads keep the artform alive"_
So true, this is one of my favorite verses in Hip Hop History! One of RA's best for sure but also one of the best period!
Yep I saw that Interview I remember it so perfectly he was talking about all his songs from the old joint with big till this etc.
Fasho, still don't know why he got on this track with some certified vocalists. He should stick to making beats
Rugged Man Ate everybody’s plate…. 🍽
*R.A. has one of the best verses in hip-hop history. I know everyone says Uncommon Valor but I say this one.*
Favorite verses for me now r from gotta be dope .and all systems go . His new album is crazyyyy
Everything ra touches turns to gold
This is 100% better than Uncommon Valor. Uncommon Valor is dope as hell and is definitely right up there, but nothing beats his verse on this
Tragedy Khadafi is sooo underrated
Beat Junkie2016 yes. He is
When I saw this comment about him being 'underrated' it reminded me of a time when I was going to comment on another vid, it was an Apathy + Celph Titled mixtape, and I was gonna say something like "Two of the most underrated rappers in the game today" but then I thought to myself for a minute and I don't know if the term 'underrated' is really accurate; surely anyone who is aware of them gives them the ratings they deserve, how could they not unless they have no real knowledge and appreciation of hip hop? I think a lot of the time when we say "underrated" what we really mean is that they are not as well known to the general public or that they haven't achieved as much mainstream success as some other rappers.
In reality I think the good underground rappers don't go after status or accolades because they want to focus more on actually producing quality work than commercial work, and they're probably perfectly aware that they could easily sell out and reach the masses and get famous and get loads of money if they really wanted to. If you think of an artist like R.A or Hell Razah, Jedi Mind Tricks, etc. their releases, singles, mixtapes or albums, solo and collaborations, are all well received by critics, they get good reviews even if they don't sell massive numbers. So they do get the ratings, both from the industry and the fans but they just don't get the exposure.
Which, overall, is probably better for us as if they went for mass-appeal it would probably only lead to watering down of their content and a new following of half-hearted fans who don't even understand the art but just follow them as it's the latest trend...
Personally I think it's beautiful that artists are happy with their underground buzz, satisfied with their work-rate and fan-base and not constantly chasing fame and fortune, I think they are the guys keeping real hip-hop alive...
Sorry to ramble, I tend to go on and on once I start writing, plus I'm replying to a comment that's like a year old so wonder if anyone will even read this but hey!
Beat Junkie2016, do you remember when he was called intelligent hoodlum?
I remember in 1990 when his first Intelligent Hoodlum album came out. Heavy rotation in my sony walkman at that time. That album personally is top 5.
Check out army of the pharaohs he’s on one of the albums
HELL RAZER ONE OF THE HOTTEST MC IN THE WU UNIVERSEEEEEEE
everybody bodied this shit, not a weak bar in sight
R.A IS TOP 5..... ITS 2020 AND HES STILL DROPPIN 🔥
Almost 2022 he's still amazing best album of his career last year.
R.A.'s flow if fucking impeccable.
I honestly don't know how he raps the way he does, especially this verse.
It's unreal. Nearly flawless.
'I'm Canibus before he met Wyclef'... so true, Canibus was on another level when he first started to come through on mix tapes.
RA destroys every beat he's on.
JediMindTricks183 And will destroy Eminem in an instant.
MasterCipher Supreme Y'all need to stop mentioning wack ass rappers. Nobody here cares about eminems
MasterCipher Supreme em shit .. hellmy grandma can rip better flow than that bloke
*+MasterCipher Supreme*
_His name is iREZARECT'EM I think its meant to be read as I RESURRECT EM , and don't have anything to do with RZA. But I might be wrong..._
@@iREZARECTEM lmao shut the fuck up
literally just discovered R.A, one of the greatest verses I have ever heard.
Uncommon valour and learn truth
@@garrettstenlund9561 Beat me to it brother. 😂 salute the real. Love from Australia
This one is the best. The other ones are amazing but when it comes to hip-hop history this is top 3 verses ever.
RA in the back like whens my turn lol
wtf RA the rugged man,i thought his best verse was on uncommon valor, until i heard this, this is on a whole different level wow
They all killed. I was really feeling Tragedy's verse though
Tamal Krsna FACTS MY G ...TRAG IS MY HOMIE ...SALUTE
Tamal Krsna, do you remember when he was called intelligent hoodlum?
Tragedy best verse on the track.
RA is nasty but I've liked Tragedy's low flow since 1998
Last photo of pac before his Beamer got shot 👽
Trages best verses since LA LA in my opinion!
Jeesus, this shit goes hard. never ever heard a lyrical rhyme like these foos
This is still one of my favorite albums of all time. Every track was legendary
Yup it was amazing
This track is bonkers...I was reading some of the comments concerning RA and Pun; who influenced who, who's better, who's flow is iller; that's a personal choice; to each his own.
What is not in dispute is that both Pun and RA are lyrical greats and both have said on the record that Kool G. Rap is their favorite emcee of all-time. Marinate on that one. One.
Bonkers it is, homie, bonkers as fuck it is.
And they are all from the Mecca NYC like myself I have been a Hip Hip head since 86 and not going anywhere!
that beat is sick
Lmao. Rug is wilding in the background, he's like let the lion out the cage.
Last photo of Pac before his Beamer got shot.
Tragedy Khadafi WOW. One of the best verses ever.
Damn R.A. murdered that shit.
Tragedy is super underrated 🔥
ra's verse is amazing
And THAT my people, is how you end a song. ♨️
Tragedy kills this!!!!!!!
RA killed everyone else's verse
"I'm canibus before he met wyclef"
Real recognize real.
Didn't you knew? The Rugged Man is a very, very, very skilled rapper...
Prolly your favourites rapper favourite rapper ;)
This is true rap. No misogyny, no homophobia, no cars or bling. A true wake-up call for hip-hop, with a sick beat.
This song still fire 🔥
damn, The verse from RA is almost unbelieveble, its realy hard to rap with out to breath
RA got the weirdest mannerisms when he raps...but his verse is absolute fire
Gotta hand that trophy to Tech N9ne lol, RA is weird as hell too though haha
Michiel Prak True that, looks like he's casting spells.
Lmao casting spells fits Tech so perfect haha he's a monster lyricist though.
+Big C LOL
@GreaterGood510 in the early 90z RA was nuts shitting on keyboards, etc, In from NY in and I'm his age I remember well
RA bugging out in the back lol
R.A. Murked that joint !! Classic Splash!!!
"im all good im hood, im ice cube before he turned soft and went hollywood" lol R.A. is a killer
im poetic from gravediggaz thats enough
Hell Razah has been one of my favorite MC's ever. Dude has been dope since day 1.
Could it really be that R.A. is the best rapper out there ? He`s just killin it on every song.
Another reason why I like Rugged Man is because he only does collabs with other dope spitters, people he respects for their rap skills.
Rugged man is tha man...
and totally insane!!!
RA kills the song with his verse, plus he kills the video with...basically everything he does before, and during his turn :)
R.A. Salute!
A yo Rugged Man punched this track out of it's boots. Wow, RAW!
Rugged too nice on this
Hip-Hop history with sick raps. They all killed it!
Song is fiyah. Hell Razah flow so smooth and KILLA.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
All time classic. R.A. is a true legend.
This song will forever be dope! But RA wildin in the background makes the video!
Every rappers posse should keep a copy of this track around so they can let R.A. humble them when it becomes necessary.
Ra just on a whole never level then most
REA7IST He'll destroy Eminem's trash ass.
MasterCipher Supreme lol settle down
@@masterciphersupreme6636 nobody mentioned eminem so shut the fuck up
paper or plastic/ R.A. zipped it up and bagged it!!!!
Classic
Heaven Razah, thank you.
Ya gave me the eye of the tiger.
Much love from Rhode Island.
Hip hop in its purest form. Should be lauded as a classic. we know real when we hear it. This is it.
This is hiphop!
This shit is legendary.
R.A. THE FUCKING RUGGED MAN, GOT THAT TOMMY GUN FLOW, DUDE KILLS IT
best verse in hip hop history. period.
“5 Percent Nation of God Bodies Greeting with PEACE!” 💎💎💎💎💎💎💎
Tragedy Khadafi murders this track.
***** Lot of people do not know that Tragedy has been around since late 80s... He went by the name of Intelligent Hoodlum and the album was also called intelligent hoodlum...... Not sure if you are into 80s hip hop but I liked the album... He is pretty consistent really, all his shit is pretty good along with his mixtapes too... Definitely go with "Against All Odds", and "Still Reporting"... If you like it get his other shit too... Hope I helped...
Edit: Ohhh shit how can I forget the ill ass collabo Tragedy has with Killah Priest Hell Razah and them... It is called "Black Market Militia"... LISTEN TO THIS! Not one bad song :)
Here is a Tragedy Verse from Black Market Milita:
I'm like Osama Hussein, hotter than the whole
Population control, I'm seein' soldiers fold
As I release the scroll, I spit perpendicular
Walkin' barefoot across peninsulas, freein' slaves and prisoners
Black Market Militia is revolution, the mission is
Free the minds of our listeners, resurrected with militance
We ain't beggin' politicians for nothing
Government funded, comin' gunnin' and stunnin', seein' the D's running
God bless us, Supreme Team, extreme measures
Max under mattress, C-4 in the dressers
The D's who wanna test us, and feds wanna arrest us
Fuck professers and their lectures, I'm talkin' to ancestors
True story, give the glory to God, receive the blessings
Made in an image, of his likeness, my true essence
dude a rap song is not a competition, each one has it own style...
r.a. the rugged man is the only artist i will ever be a fan of. He is keeping it fucking real, period.
r.a. has so many references in his verse... fucking insane
[Intro: Hell Razah]
1-2, 1-2, girl you could hear me?
1-2, turn me up
[Verse 1: Hell Razah]
I've been a threat since Benetton, Gazelles and Ballys
The icon and graffiti in the Brooklyn alley
Touch hearts of the pharaohs in the Egypt valley
My engineer can't see me 'cause the booth is cloudy
Still rowdy even though we in BMs and Audis
Looking like black Saudis in black Denalis
I'ma terrorist attack when I get on the track
If I'm ridin' shotgun, I need one in my lap
I adapt to any habitat, a BK desert rat
It's war, then we sendin' back bodies and gats
Put up your white flag homie, it get worse than Iraq
We know the CIA game was to frame us with crack
So each bar is more dope, heroin in my pen
Got 'em mobbin', back robbin', head noddin' again
Who you shit on to get on top could make it pop in the end
Who's a flop and what's hot got you locked in the gym
Tell Jacob I spit jewels, I could drop him a gem
And if he lookin' for a diamond I could hook 'em with Timb'
[Hook: Timbo King (Hell Razah)]
I'm Hip Hop before Sugar Hill signed a deal
Before Studio 54 poppin' pills
It was real when Kool Herc worked the wheels of steel
Now we bring the game back into a New York feel

I'm Hip Hop (since EPMD - "You Gots to Chill")

I'm Christopher Wallace with street knowledge, apostle of the projects
Sneaker boxes with the g-packs stuffed in a G's closet
I'm tenement buildings, cement streets
I'm British Walkers, I'm scuff marks on your brand new Ellesse
5% Nation of Godbodies, greeting with peace
I'm raw like Kane, my lyrics are formed in solid rock
Spit it hotter than '86 on drug infested blocks
Last photo of Pac before his Beamer got shot
I'm the Queens, one man Supreme Team, triple beam dream
Microphone cream fiend, top five dead or alive
I'm so amazing, 2-5 costra nostra
Heart of this culture, the game ain't over
I'm the truce troop war reporter, legal life stick you
Against All Odds, not the ordinary shit you used to
I'm C-Murder before the life sentence
Predicate felons, homicide chasin' niggas; hoppin' over benches
[Hook: Timbo King]
I'm Hip Hop before Sugar Hill signed a deal
Before Studio 54 poppin' pills
It was real when Kool Herc worked the wheels of steel
Now we bring the game back into a New York feel

Haha. Yeah at first they were like "hey Rugged you go first". And after the verse they thought "maybe we should pit him last".
biggie would..
big was interviewed by some magazine and he was asked "what do you think about r.a. the rugged man?" his answer was: man.. i thought i was the illest
rugged man tears it up......
TIMBO!
gotta love rugged's background "dancing"
I'm Big Pun in the middle of little Italy
Rugged man is an undisputed legend. IDK any magizine or critic that would say otherwise.
I've heard a lot of rappers do their thing, but I can clearly say that R.A. is the best that ever lived. Even BIG said that he though he(BIG) was good until he met R.A.
Hell Razah voice ❤
Hell yea
Great track! This is real Hip-Hop!!!
R.A. The Rugged Man needs to get to the doctors because his verse is sick!

I can`t feel R.A...hell razah kills it!!!
