Los Angeles based rapper Ras Kass is known as one of the best lyricists on the West Coast. From his solo albums to his work with Dr. Dre, from his supergroup Golden State Warriors with Xzibit and Saafir to the Four Horsemen project with Killah Priest, Canibus, and Kurrupt, Ras Kass has proven himself one of the illest rapper’s to grace the mic. He’s also one helluva freestyle artist, and has proven it on countless mixtapes, radio shows and DVDs.
Needless to say, Freestyle 101 was honored when the Golden Chyld himself graced the studio with his partner Cali Casino to spit impromptu rhymes and talk hip hop shop. Promoting his new Chinese Arithmetic album and Eat or Die mixtape series, Ras Kass was happy to show us how it’s done out in the Wild West via a blazin’ double barreled freestyle where he name-checked 50 Cent, dissed rival The Game, and even professed his love of G4tv’s Cheaters!
So enjoy this episode of Freestyle 101 and make sure to come back every Tuesday at noon PST for more. Upcoming guests include Papoose, G-Unit, Guru of Gang Starr, Lifesavas, Myka 9, Insane Poetry and many more. Visit our behind-the-scenes photo gallery and visit us on MySpace.

Ras Kass has been in the game way before "The Game" and has done more for hip-hop, then that walking cliche gangster rapper Game has ever done for it. Ras Kass has given you food for thought (nature of the threat anyone?) with his unique approach towards concepts, metaphors and punchlines.
Thank you G4 for bringing these exclusive freestyles, I miss hearing those razy kazy freestyles, even if he did recycle some lines. I'd like to see you guys reach out to canibus, that'd be great.

Have to put these adolescent pubescent on game sometimes.
I don't care what either one of them did or has done. If they can spit they can spit.
