HA! you actually said Ras only has one good album, HAHA!
"Soul On Ice" alone smashes anything done by any west coast MC, that to aint "good" that **** is CLASSIC. "Rasassination" is above abarage, it has "Interview with a vampire" wich is a master piece.
Institutionalized Vol. 1 and Institutionalized Vol. 2 are "good", his **** with The HRSMN is ****in dope.

and wats up with the "5. big pun/kool g. rap/big l/..../...." ha! now thats a *****

Rassasination was nowhere near Soul On Ice. His other **** I've hardly checked out. He's one of the rappers that has just faded away into existence. He had a couple of gems here and there but I'm not really checkin for him anymore.

What's wrong with ties? If the word ***** was directed at me eat ****.
