Shazam! I can do that 'W' thingy with my fingers too!
Do I get to be a rap star??
Really, that's cool, even if I don't know what you're talking about....
If he signs with Shady/Aftermath as rumored, he's the next superstar. Get Soul On Ice and then thank me later.
Hip hop is dead ... but Ras Kass has the paddles.
Clear

I wouldn't call hip-hop dead. BTW isn't that whole West Coast thing dead? I remember back in 96 the "cool" thing to do was flash the W thing and yell "Westside!!!"

Some 'research' :

Rapper Ras Kass was born John Austin in Watts, CA; a voracious reader throughout his youth, he adopted his stage name in honor of the African king Ras Rass. After releasing a pair of independent singles, Ras Kass emerged as one of the most highly regarded new rappers in some time, winning particular acclaim for his skills as a lyricist (in the space of six months, he twice earned Rap Pages magazine's Rhyme of the Month award as well as The Source's Hip Hop Quotable honor); his long-awaited debut LP, Soul on Ice, finally appeared on Priority Records in 1996. Rasassination followed two years later. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

Nothing wrong with school spirit.
even if it is Churchill.
http://www.allhiphop.com/hiphopnews/?ID=3895Rapper Ras Kass has been released from Corcoran State Prison in California, after serving almost 2 yearsfor a third DUI conviction.
The rapper was released on December 21, 2004.
In January of 2003, Ras Kass was supposed to surrender to California authorities to serve a mandatory 9 months for the conviction.
Instead of surrendering, the rapper went on the run to protest what he labeled a “slave” deal with Priority Records.
His flight sparked conversation in Hip-Hop circles of his whereabouts. In May of 2003, he finally surrendered to authorities, after spending 5 months on the run.
Ras Kass’ highly anticipated CD Goldyn Chyld was never released by Priority, as was the case with his anticipated album Van Gogh, which was shelved due to rampant internet bootlegging.
In May, lawyers representing Ras Kass filed a civil complaint in the Los Angeles County Superior Court against Priority Records.
The rapper’s lawsuit alleged that Priority breached their agreement, by distributing two of the four albums Ras Kass recorded over a period of 9 years.
“I want what is fair; all I want is to create great music, have the proper team behind me, and be the artist that I am,” Ras Kass said in a previous statement. “I am prepared to do what it takes in order to be released from this ugly situation.”
Litigation in the case continues.
Hip Hop is dead. The only thing holding it together was Eminem, but he's less than great now. His last albums have been sub par, but maybe only because the first 2 LPs set the bar so damn high.
Dre is still incredible, as are the Neptunes, but there's just too much to wade through to get to the quality tracks.
"his anticipated album Van Gogh"
Interesting.
Ill have to download his stuff.
Manny,
I agree, Encore just doesnt have the same Oomph like the Slim Shady LP, or others.
Hes still a great lyricist and poet though.
Shut up Tpark, you're the last person who's hip hop reviews I want.
Does this mean timvp is going to have to change his le from Free Ras Kass to Ras Kass Freed? Or does the campaign to free other suppressed potential rap superstars begin?
Free Shyne!
Is Snow out of prison yet?
