Freestyle 101: Ras Kass

Posted by Frank Meyer - Tuesday, July 31, 2007 12:00 PM

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.

This fool is whack! Come G4 you can do better than this. This little whussy got punched in the face by The Game and did nothing. This guy sucks.

Re4VJ obviously has no idea of what he's talking about, basing skills off of being punched makes absolutely no sense.

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.

It is always good to her from Ras Kass again even if The Game punched him in his face or cracked his skull with a bottle,you feel me? Ras Kass is one of the greatest MC's of all time from the west coast (album wise and freestyle wise) and i definitely look forward to hearing as many of his mixtapes as i can for free,no doubt.He is definitely better than The Game lyrically and i could definitely see him crushing The Game in a fight klub freestyle battle and walking away with the money if The Game ain't scared to bet $50,000 dollars against him.This imaginary freestyle battle is guaranteed to be a freestyle battle i will never forget.Word! G4 when are you going to hire Canibus or get him on the show to freestyle?

Rass has always been the illest on the west-word wise. Game is ill too. All y'all don't get the veteran complex. Jus cuz he wasn't reppin' in tha nineties doesn't make him wack.
I don't care what either one of them did or has done. If they can spit they can spit.

I would love to see Rass and Game at fight klub too. Shit-how 'bout 50 vs. Game. How bout Nas and Rass goin' at it. Now that's a battle.
