R.A. the Rugged Man and Lord Jamar Discuss New Collaboration, 5 Percent Nation Lyrics, Stans & More 

WHy?

Vlad's actually cool with both of them. If anyone's punching the air, it's Eminem fans who keep calling Jamar racist

@@mistahmst I don't like eminem since the first 2 albums he is a simp but Jamar IS racist. Watch any of the Vlad interviews he can hardly go 5 minutes without talking about race and saying stuff like "i don't fuck with white rappers" The dude is a proper dickhead, his solo album was dopr as fuck tho the 5% album. Love his rhyming ability but IMO the dude is a complete twat.

@@mistahmst I'm not a big Em's fan, I actually can't stand the toxic part of his fanbase, but anybody who says that Lame Jamar is a racist, is actually right. You can't deny it if you have watched those interviews of his.

World Wide Patriots I have watched his interviews, so I know for a FACT that Lord Jamar never said he didn’t fuck with white rappers. In fact, he even said he’s a fan of R.A. and likes him better than Eminem. It’s not his fault white people think black empowerment is racist

@@balle733 That isnt what I said. I didnt say they were racist becuase they think the black man is god. I said those two things, in separate sentences and did not conflate the two or suggest they are linked. Try reading what I said again.

@@balle733 just read what I said again, not what you want to read into it. I dont speak in riddles.

@F O The 5%ers are not anti-white. in fact, there are white 5%er such as John Michael Kennedy aka Azreal and Michael Muhammad Knight and there are many others of various ethnic backgrounds. The founder of The 5% nation even said “we are neither pro-black nor anti-white.”

Eminem shows respect to ogs nearly every song

@redcomic619 no one is underrating or under appreciating jamar....no one he hasnt made music for over 20years but he just sits on the side line and shit on Eminem : who is for the hip hop culture who pays homage to the pioneers of hip hop so that people dont forget the originators of hip hop, no one pays homage or respect the OGs like Eminem if jamar is underrated it is bcos instead of contributing to hip hop by putting music out OR encouraging the young ones to do music and also appreciate those who are contributing to hip hop NO! but he chooses to shit on Eminem for the things his fans are saying, not even the things Eminem says Jay z fans Kanye West fans lil wayne fans Nas fans Biggie fans Tupac fans All say that these artist individually are the greatest and no one contests it but let Em fans say it about Eminem, it then becomes a national crime. You do know Lord jamar is going to switch on Rugged man if he happens to get as big as Eminem and his fans start saying he is the greatest to do it then you will see jamar shitting on rugged man

Erik Cobra Kai never Dies Clearly you don’t know anything about hip hop. He’s the weakest link is code for I don’t like what he says about Eminem or white people. You’re exactly who RA was talking about in the first 10 minutes.

Ceddryc Actually he won’t. RA clearly understands where Jamar is coming from instead of being a sensitive white dude.

@@BE-bk1tb Or...if you can be objective, you would admit that him literally bringing up Eminem in every other interview for the last 5 years in a negative way was fair game for Eminem to say what he said. It's almost like people think it's ok for anyone to shit on Eminem, and because Eminem is a White rapper, he is just supposed to be ok with it, like he isn't a man first. At what point does Lord Jamar separate himself from Eminem and stand up for Hip Hop?

😂 i enjoyed the comments. Wished there was one more whenever i scrolled up

Vandalio Jamar is the ultimate critic and like RA said, a real college professor lol

Hes a dick to everyone I cant stand him...I'd like to whoop his ass I real life.

Send location I'd like to fight him mono e mono lol

@@R-Mean1000 Machete dont text.

@@R-Mean1000 Lord Jamar I mean why he deserve so much respect he hardly evan makes music...ar 1000 ...psh...asr 10 bitch

@Dump Turds i agree

@Dump Turds i dont know why you should let that bother you, jay z fans call him the greatest, biggie fans call him the greatest, pac fans call him the greatest, lil wayne fans call him the greatest, why is it a problem when Em fans call him the greatest? heck! Eminem more than all these rappers pay homage to the fore fathers of hip hop. wow! hate for Em is real

Exactly, jamar let eminem fans drive him crazy, eminem didn't say one word at one point and jamar on a rampage. No disrespect on them when it comes to knowing hip hop tho. All 3 of them know hip hop no matter what

@Dump Turds this isnt true unless you are hanging around a bunch of suburban housewives

He does anything to put eminem down. I saw an interview where he said why would I listen to a guy who constantly talks about killing his ex wife. Let's break this down. Eminem has at the very, very least 100 songs (I've low balled that down loads), you have the songs: kim, 97 bonnie and clyde, puke and what's the difference. I've probably missed a few (let's say I've missed 6 for safe keeping) That makes 10% of his music about killing his ex wife, and jamar is saying that's the only thing he talks about.. 10%... ( and its only 10% if I have been very biased against em which I have just done)

You gonna deny that Stans go way the fuck overboard!!!!!!! I like some of Ems shit. I have my favorite MCs, but I'm not crying if others feel different! Em will tell you he has some nerdy fkn fans..

Dwayne Louis Criticism of Jamar isn’t so much about feeling different, but him feeling more entitled to hip hop culture because of the color of Em’s skin.

Yes bro!

True, sadly jamar let eminem fans drive him crazy and scooped to their level.

Juan Barahona 🤣🤣. You mean Eminem and his fans let what Jamar said drive them nuts!!!

And if we are talking about 'black music' where did that come from? It didn't just fall on the earth you know. The blues, jazz, soul etc...all that stuff wouldn't exist either cause its build on a, if you wanna call it that, white music backbone. A lot of black legends were classically trained too.

@@dco1019 wait, let me get this straight, i suspect your argument is that there is no such thing as 'black music' but your counter argument is that there is 'white music'? do you not see the backwardness in your thinking. Put down the drugs it is obstructing your thinking

@@hechpee I said "if you wanna call it that" meaning you. See indeed, I don't call it that. For me its just music. I don't like these labels...and I don't like claiming shit I had no part in besides being a certain complexion. Its lame to me...and shit triggers me too lol...like stfu and do something yourself then brag.

​@@dco1019 lol at saying the belief that Black music came into fruition because these guys were trained by white musicians. That is just delusion at its finest. What about in Africa? That's where a lot of rhythmic music gets its roots from, you think they learned to beat the drum by Europeans? Y'all love to downplay Black contributions just because you feel like you're excluded lol

@@mistahmst brotherman....to put it extra blunt..they weren't transporting big bands, and blues players wearing suits and shiny shoes on those ships. A boatload, no pun, got added to your black music that wasn't from Africa at all, including the language of the music itself ffs..close to 100% of the instruments and the techniques to play them...its a literal hybrid of white and black culture. That's that shit you don't like to admit right? And percussion is in almost every kind of music for millennia. Though yeah, native Africans are fantastic drummers. It would be silly to say that didn't find it's way into the music but that was never my point to begin withso.

*due

@monteself1968 going by your logic, jamar does not give respect to Eminem who is also is from his era as well. so does that mean that jamar is not a real hip hop head, just asking?

@@hechpee didn't Jamar say Em is a good lyricist tho?

Damn that's Interesting, can you tell me where I can learn some deeper stuff about supreme mathematics?

Danny Peace. First and foremost, I come in the name of Supreme Justice God Allah. Secondly, where do you live exactly?? Because in order to learn more about this culture, you have to go amongst those that are living this out in real time. Also how old are you??

Peace God

Daniel Addison Peace God.

Brother I think lord Jamar's points are: 1) Hip Hop was started by black people 2) Just because you can rhyme better doesn't make you greater 3) As black people we should decide who the kings/queens of hip hop are 4) The Greatest is based more on impact over record sales as plently of other rappers who are wack have gone platinum So by those points stated I don't feel eminem should take offence when being referred to as a "Quest" in HipHop.

@Jason Borotra When it comes to disrespect, Jamar has shown that towards eminem, but lets not act like we don't know why, its cause of the PEDESTAL they put him on, and the fact that most will crown him king due to record sales when other artist have had a bigger impact..... And to be honest I think the disrespect gives eminem a fire to prove he's getting better as a rapper, he clearly is a better rapper than LORD JAMAR.

@@malachibrown8286 um 1. Hip hop was started as multi cultural in a predominately Urban area which happened to mainly be with men of darker complexion.. 2. If you rhyme better than in a genre of music based on what is said... that makes you greater, delivery, cadence ,and flow count as well. 3. Um the listeners independently decide who are their rap kings and queens are. Every listener decides on their own. 4. I agree. Mos def ,Ab soul, DAYLYT, Guru, big krit, etc. All created music with messages and can be applied to life.. knowledge will always be power indeed.. Brand Nubian was a group who helped CONSCIOUSNESS in rap Period. BUT.. music is heard by the ear but felt in you soul.. your spirit enjoys those vibrations . Your spirit has no color, creed, race, ethnicity, religion, government, or any other INDOCTRINATIONS created by MAN.. Music is for the mind to understand and the body to react.. HIP HOP and RAP can be molded ,created, innovated, or manifested by anyone , but is best made by those who are educated in the past of its genre.. Exactly why.... OUTKAST sound better than AMIGOS, WUTANG better quality than MOST groups. Talib Kweli compared to young thug, etc.. to each is own but the TRUE STARS SHINE BRIGHT.

@@ryankellz "You can't deny that Hip Hop was started by Black People, the first mainstream song to blow was by the sugar hill gang, a BLACK hip hop group.

@@malachibrown8286 you just said the first group to blow... which doesn't mean where it was started.. SUGAR HILL GANG STARTED IN HARLEM.. THERE WAS RAP WELL BEFORE THEM.. I understand what you are trying to say but also do your research THE culture of hip hop started in the 1970s in the Bronx NY..by a collaboration of people being Of what boxes or labels you would call "black,latino, Caribbean, and yes ....white..".. THE CULTURE OF HIP HOP / RAP IS predominately yes of people with darker complexion..HOWEVER just as a sample use KRUSH GROOVE, BREAKIN, BEAT STREET, ETC .. these are filled with people of all BACKGROUNDS.. Music has no color, creed, race, ethnicity, etc.. music is a sound , a vibration, created from a frequency... RAP BEING AN EXAMPLE.. why do people get so INDOCTRINATED into what the people looked like that get credit fro things.. smh... when hip hop and rap was created it was not racial centric.. ONCE AGAIN IT IS MUSIC...NOT MAN, MAN CREATED INDOCTRINATIONS, INFLUENCES, ETC....

Oh but it is... What nonsense are you listening 2

"Come on where you at, this is the difference between MCing and Rap. Rappers spit rhymes that are mostly illegal MC's spit rhymes to uplift their people. Peace Love Unity, Having fun, these are the lyrics of KRS-One" - KRS-One (Classic)

Jamar is a footnote at best.

@@RagnarokMic respect the gods

@@djrakman3909 I do, hence, not Jamar. Brand Nubian was a solid trio, but Jamar has never been amongst the best rappers, unless we mean literally, like, in the same room as them.

@@RagnarokMic that has nothing to do with the nation of the gods and earths, whats the math today? it sure isnt hate

The thing is...there are plenty of those types of rappers out there. They make good music too. Hip-Hop is so wide and big in this day and age, every small village between new york and fucking tokyo has a handful of rappers who do their thing. There are plenty of rappers who do the rakim stuff with better beats and better rhymes then ever to little or no attention, and people act like it doesnt exist anymore. There are WAY more rappers who rap like the 90s then in the 90s itself

@culturefreedom89 talk to that stan lol

There’s too much radio hook rap nowadays. Especially in the main stream.

Word, I love when I hear scratches today, The only Element of Hip Hop I don't miss is breakdancing and I was a BreakDancer BUT my real lane and the thing that made me a major part of Hip Hop culture was my Graffiti, I was a true street Bomber and tagger being from Jamaica Queens born in the late 70's growing up to late 80s, and 90s Hip Hop, still being a young man until 2010's and until middle age Hit today I'm 45 and not only still a Huge Hip Hop head but still current and the fact so many OG cats Like R.A are still making top notch album's, from Him Roc Marciano, Action Bronson, Style's P and Havoc l, and so many others makes me feel great as well as Eminem, Royce and O.G lyrical cats from other states! :)

Stans of a artist can be very toxic

It has everything to do with Islam. Arabs just hate Black peoples and are just as responsible for the slave trade as white peoples. The original man is the black man from Africa. The Jews in the old testament and Tori are not European in the Muslims for which the Quran first two are not a wrap… It’s all black and if you knew your history you would know that

NO CF It has everything to do with Islam. Arabs just hate Black peoples and are just as responsible for the slave trade as white peoples. The original man is the black man from Africa. The Jews in the old testament and Tori are not European in the Muslims for which the Quran first two are not a wrap… It’s all black and if you knew your history you would know that

Tdotjournalist 1 why did the Nation of Islam kill Malcolm X then? Let me tell you because when he went to Mecca he saw with his own eyes what true Islam was All races together not what the NOI preaches. The thing you said about Arabs trading slaves is true but don’t forget to ad that most of the black slaves that where caught and sold to the europeans where enslaved en sold by fellow Africans. Hate and racism knows no color

@@EX-YuGo yes sir. Speak that truth about X. NOI murdered a good brother. I agree that Arabs have been enslaving Africans for centuries. Thats not the topic here. In a majority muslim countries, say in Malaysia, or Indonesia the most populated muslim country on earth, NOI is not recognized. In fact the followers would be stoned to death for thay blasphemy about Fard Mohammad being messenger of God..cmon man. Stop that BS.

NO CF indeed my brother. It’s pure blasphemy what they are doing. And then involving skin color in to religion is also absurd, look here my parents are white Muslims my father even has blue eyes my brother is white yet I was born with a brown complexion brown eyes black hair the way you look has nothing to do with religion. One of our most important people in Islam was Bilal Peace be with him he was a black slave that was freed by Muhammed Peace be with him. I remember my father teaching me who Brother Malcolm was when I was a kid. Look at this video my brother this is what Islam is, skincolor is not important. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sauGY3H6hPc.html

What minute bro

@Dump Turds You just made that up as if you actually know all the people who have ever said that. Almost every person I've ever heard say that did have black friends. And black people always say that it doesn't matter. Hypocrites.

Vlad is cringe worthy. I can’t even listen to him anymore.

@@Armando316 I completely understand that. Even Bud was toxic after a while. I hear he's calmed down lol

jjsvizard75 I hear u and partly correct. It’s a choice on vlads part to dwell Eminem. Jamar likes to talk about it cus he don’t like Eminem like I don’t anymore but as he keeps stating , it’s vlad that blew that up and make a thing out of it. Eminem knows this but I believe understands the power of vlad so hits back at lord jamar instead. Jamars bin said , change the record. Its not just about Eminem. It’s about culture culture and people being genuine to themselves. I think there were much bigger targets then Eminem for that topic. Vlad chose to make it about em cus he the biggest star and jamar the guy being paid to be interviewed is gonna answer them questions. And why shouldn’t he. He of all people should have a right to talk on that. More then a right , a duty. He’s very brave ( or on come down from strong weed ) to sit there and air this stuff out which has been purposely made Socially sensitive. Respect jamar. Love this guy !! Purely for that. Not even about his past but his past gave him the ability to speak on that stuff with some degree of understanding. Choices .... felling ..... the machines that drive your feelings and actions !! This is all real stuff we as humans should all be aware of. This is the magic about Jamar , forget Eminem. That’s vlads domain. Jamars about the truth. He sadly seems very one sided towards what he describes as “ his own people “. I think this is a shame. I feel as the person I am I would be considered one of his “people”. Sad to think because of my colour I could never be .... unless I had financial gains for him in some way. I feel he for the sake of cashing that check with his morals intact he loosely considers vlad a friend. I think tho if that friendship was put to the test outside of financial gain , it wouldn’t be so strong. I’m right , I know I am. Ps , I find some of the vlad , lord j interviews some of the best I’ve seen. Interestingly tho jamar in his own platform not so much and vlad interviewing someone I dislike , no. Together tho they make gold

@@stuartbraddy1687 shit you need a hobby..

5edz str the mistake I won’t make as a privileged white guy in the Weston world is make my hobby rap music. That would make me a clown. I’m not from that life and the thing about it is is I actually am. I can relate to allot of that stuff they chat , but it was a choice I made. I could have chose to do better at school and hang around with geeks like u but I didn’t. So ye , I can rap about his stuff and act all gangster but I’d look a knob like ra. Onnnnnly reason these rappers are doing live chat with him is it’s a hustle !!!! They want some of that white boy money that funds rap music. Do u not think they realise that when they do shows it’s mostly white people that attend ? In a deeper level this has allot to do also with inherited wealth that it’s more white people go to these shows. It’s a simple business move to chat with someone like ra means more white supports which leads to doing bigger venues that people like u probably go to watch um in. I can imagine the seats of white parents waiting outside to pick up there little darlings from the rap show..... make sure they ent smoking none of that wicked weed ...... hahahahahh. Your so boring man. I’d be so so surprised to learn your a black man that lives in a hood ??? Your white arnt u like me ??? Go on , admit it ???

😅corny af bro

Em does have a whiney voice! I hate when he does that shit lol, but that's my opinion! the way he used to sound on his earlier albums was best i think, don't get it twisted though I except he is an elite lyricist. It's down to preference R.A got that classic NY accent to me naturally sounds cool af straight away. but then when you add substance content storytelling! That shit blows my mind has done since I was a teenager listening to Tupac I got the same vibe.

@@deirdresneck Yeah plus he's white

What minute is it again?

They cant live without mention the GOAT

@@vmundoortiz6105 definitely far from the goat you could argue of this generation but not the goat

@@samjackson6025 you have your GOAT and I have mines simple as that but my GOAT is the highest record selling rap artist of all time and counting. The first recording artist to have 10 out of his 11 studio Albums with 1B streams and I can go on for hours with all the certifications. Thats the difference

@@samjackson6025 and he has been in the rap game since the late 90s

I prefer it, X and Puba are better mc's but Jamar is a good artist and this album was a banger. Soulful knowledge, you can see what he contributed to Nubian

Everyone has their own preference.

They always mention eminem name for clout. Thats nothing new, sadly.

These guys where making hiphop before Emininem. These guys are legends.clout chasing. Stop that bullshit saying.

@@mrf4656 I know they been in the game longer but at this point they should not have to keep mentioning Em for no reason He payed his dues and got on top the hard way so that's just hating.. Especially from a guy who has such a similar style image wise come on son

@@tharealkato7745 Similar image! RA as said was in the game long before Emininem. That is exactly what they are talking about..how is speaking truth hating? How can they be hating RA fans are not Eminem fans. What "clout" do they want?

@@mrf4656 why keep mentioning another man though what's that got to do with honing your craft and promoting your own work if you're a man and you're confident about yourself and you know that music and with all types of arts is about the people and people have different tastes and preferences you don't have to do that

Same here, it was the song uncommon valor. Absolute tune

I remember sedat at very young

I bet your insufferable in the flesh

5edz str haha. You must be a real joy to be around. So funny and so much to say. Bet the time flys. Me personally I spent my time with my beautiful mrs. Yes , I’m sure at times she does find me unbearable but I’m an overbearing person. It’s this that puts me in good standing in any circumstance I’m in. I’m tall and handsome too tho which In this society help immensely. Personally I find it more of a problem getting people to leave me alone once I’ve let them in. Makes it I typically keep folks at a distance and remain in a bubble with my beautiful girlfriend Suki :) Thanks tho fella, enjoy ya day Errrrrm , sit on a pineapple the base side first. That way when u pull it back out it will lodge it self causing you further enjoyment you absolute boredom maker :)

What the hell is white rap? Are u serious? Its rap as a whole.

Juan Barahona you wrote about 9 words and all u heard was black and white. Are u serious? Yes white rap. It’s like black rap only less effective. My point being , raps a genre that’s typically expressed by the underprivileged who are dragged up or bring them selves up in low income/zero income projects in the Weston world. Almost like slums in India only these areas exist in the Weston world where they see mostly white people with ownership and opportunity. Yes , I’ll say it again. White rap. Yes , serious. Not the best of descriptions I admit. I was rushing to make my point. I was ordinarily calling it imitation rap which was more fitting. You can have real white rappers. I believe Eminem is possibly one. It still sounds diffrent to black rap. I can hear the difference in a white rapper to black rapper instantly just by hearing it. Eminem scrapes into the genre of genuine rap maybe. Not this ra tho I doubt !! It’s probably over your head tho bud. Just leave it n go have a pop tart “ yo yo , ra the hella truth homie, word up , he old skool , one of the goats” Give me a break. Everything about this guy is clown like. Is nobody seeing these faces he’s pulling in videos or how he dresses or the words he raps. Liam !! Only other white rappers would like this I’m sure. Culture vulturing to the max Rap , true rap comes from place of disadvantage. Even comedy rap isn’t rap to me. It’s imitation. This should be simple. If u don’t get it you probably never will
