I have actual skeletons in my closet
Rass Kass was one of the first "internet approved" rappers I remember. He had the following and rep of someone like Immo Tech.

I never cared for his political songs. He could be very mellow but lyrical. He sorta like a relaxed Keith Murray or more sober Curren$y.

Assuming one was released last year, there's actually 3 Binary Star albums (Waterworld, Masters of the Universe, 2013 release).

Also, i'm a bit hesitant in saying Ras Kass' albums were good. Dude so wanted to be the next big superstar that there was a definite lack of quality on some of the tracks. But his lyrics were astounding at times.

Also since we're talking about superlyricists who constantly underperform, Lupe apparently has a song out with Ty Dollar $ign and it's just horrible. Like, it would've fit in on Lasers-that's how bad it is. Haven't listened to that track with Ab-Soul yet but I'm unfortunately not too excited for anything dude does in the future (at least until proven otherwise). Dude's becoming almost as bad as Canibus in terms of garbage beats and technically-good-but-garbage-content rhymes.

I agree that he reached a little too hard for mainstream recognition on Rassassination, with that really expensive video shoot on the Dre track (that I usually skip anyway). But when I'm in the mood to listen to Soul on Ice, I only skip maybe 2 tracks on the whole thing. It just clicks with me. And I think Rassassination is a good album, but it could've lost like 5 or so tracks. But I really love those two albums, I still listen to them.

Gonna finally check out that Lupe/Solo track.


edit: Chill Rassy songs are the best. Like Conceited Bastard, which also has the best punchline ever... you know the one.

MF DOOM is releasing an EP with Bishop Nehru. Is the latter any good? He's a 17-year-old kid, which I didn't expect at all considering DOOM is in his forties.

If you like Joey Badass and/or Astro you'll probably like Nehru. He's pretty much in the same vein-superrapping NY young dudes rapping like it's the 90's.

Not sure what to expect though, the JJ DOOM thing was kinda lame. I'll check it because it's DOOM so I kinda have to, but I'm not expecting much.

To the sun's savage brightness he exposed the dark and secret surface of his retinas, so that by burning the memory of vengeance might be preserved, and never perish.
Don't Underachievers have a record out soon? I think he said he was going on for two more years for touring and other things.

He is a cool dude, I wish him well.

AK easily, he's the ugly lighter-skinned guy. It sucks they broke up, Issa didn't hold a candle to AK ability-wise but I don't think AK has the personality or charisma to be big on his own.
