Rass Kass is fuckin ill though I can't deny that. I guess hyphe may be a movement for the younger kids but not for me. As time goes by there's always new fads replacing the old ones so I'm sure something new will eventually come along. All I can say is make good music and be original. Good ears can always tell imitation music from real music.

Rass Kass's problem is that HE thinks he is the illist nigga in the West and if the rest of the West don't agree...then he isn't. Plus to play devil's advocate, Rass Kass ain't a movement...he is just one man. He had PLENTY of chances and the shit just didn't work out. He had Dr.Dre and every other big name in the West fuckin with him and it didn't happen. The hyphy thing has a chance because their is somewhat of a culture involved in it. Hyphy is damn near a way of life...Rass Kass isn't.
for real,....he was crying that the labels this and that,...instead of starting his own chit,...with the platinum chian he had he could have stated a pre production studio or at the very lease get the ball rolling,...but hey that's his soul to deal with,....

I gaurantee Rass Kass has more fans than all bay rappers combined. He been locked up a few times that put his career on hold. More people want a Rass Kass Album than anybody from the bay. With the right producer he can easily go platinum. Let dre do his whole album and watch what happens.[/QUOTE]

Let Dre do anybody's album and see what happens. Rass Kass is hard no doubt but to say he has more fans than any Bay artsit when he's never even gone gold is some bullshit and you know it. He might have more fans in LA but thats where it stops. You go to the south and ask if they know Rass Kass and you might get a couple people that do, but go out there and ask who 40 or yuk is and everyone will know them.
Dre Did Knockturnal and nothing happend. Rass Kass has a huge buzz still. His problem is he usually has trash beats. Go back east and ask people who rass kass is I'll gaurantee more will know him than anybody other than E-40 who they clown.

You know how These hardcore fans always exxagarate everything and no offense homie but compared to the rest of the bay rappers yuk IS "pretty" well known for a "underground" rapper in certain parts of the us....

His regime mixtape pushed alot of units in the US alone and dont get me wrong he is everything but "popular all over the nation" we are talking about a underground rapper that is signed to rapalot tho..
I live in south central LA and not alot of people out here know yuk but he does make the most money in the US tho and not overseas even tho he has alot of love there..
But he has a very large fanbase in the us so compared to other bay area rappers (not talking about the e-40s and too shorts of the bay) he is pretty well known throughout texas and cali and the midwest and when i say pretty wellknown i mean he has enough fans throughout the country to be making good money of this rapshit for a minute... cuz we are talking about someone that managed to sell 240k of his first solo, 400k of his 2nd and 180k of his last one without no "real" promo, no videoplay and no radio play... and imma audio engineer in LA that worked and still works with yuk and the regime so i speak from that perspective and not from a crazy fans perspective...

A lotta of stupid shit said in this thread...
jayoyayo talkin about makin gangsta rap popular is impossible? What the fuck is the whole G-Unit if it ain't watered down gangsta rap?

Doc Truth talkin about Ras Kass got more fans than the whole bay combined-no, you just know more people that like him. E-40, Too $hort, etc., all have more fans than him right now. Who gives a fuck what they say "back east"? 90% of the east coast is on some hater shit anyway. They accept Ras cause he raps like a NY cat, but that's it.

All the people sayin Ras Kass ain't relevant no more-he's still relevant in the underground hip-hop scene. No reason why he shouldn't be. He's dope. He just needs to come with a few solid albums back to back, no more setbacks, and he'll have that market on lock.

That dude who said "yuk is doo doo"-don't you know crack is bad for you? You might not like his attitude (he overdoes it, I won't lie), but he's one of the sickest right now. I was just waiting for him to come smoother like he used to and put that grimy ass voice behind, and now that he did... get the fuck outta here.


And as far as the hyphy shit... I don't see it goin big, but even if it does... that means 2-3 years of popularity, then the bay fallin off again. And look at what crunk did for the south. All these people think they can't rap and ain't got shit to say because what they hear from out there is The Ying Yang Twins and all of em... Even if the bay gets big with that "get stupid" shit, we'll be the laughing stock of the nation. Mark my words. 90% of the people who fuck with rap will consider the bay to be a bunch of empty gimmicky mufuckas who can't rap and got annoying ass plastic beats. It may sound harsh, but it's real.

Rass kass got love homie, but nobody buys his records and thats the truth he is one of my favourite rappers and one of the coolest brothas i have ever met but for some reason he doesnt appeal to alot of people according to soundscan

The mainstream crowd don't know who he is, so of course he won't go platinum or anything. But like I said, he's a factor in the underground scene, he just gotta come with solid shit for a while and get his shit heard. There's still a stigma attached to him that he raps on wack beats. All he needs is a solid album with decent promotion and play in the right circles and he could get rid of that.
