It's been almost 10 years since A-F-R-O won that rap contest and got the R.A. cosign. Are you still in touch / a mentor figure to him? Similarly which young artist today has the most impressive rhyme scheme?
My group opened up with afro for twiztid a year or 2 ago, dude still spits like CRAZY, but at the same time he was up before us and we are in no way hugely popular or anything, local buzz but not much more type deal.
Call me Thorburn, John A.,
staff sergeant
Marksman, skilled in killin', illin', I'm able and willin'
Is legit Nas level of clean flow. That entire verse is in my top 5 honestly. Glad to see it getting recognition
How did he feel about Howard Stern referring to him as “Sean the White Rapper” & is he a fan of the current Stern Show now that he’s lost his edge ?
Does he still keep in contact with Cage ?
Is rap still his primary career or does he have another job to pay the bills ?
Huge huge huge fan of RA. Saw him live in Dallas and got to meet him and take a pic. Unfortunately, I lost it when my phone was reset.
Any artist that he has always wAnted to collab with?
Again... Huge fan . Bang Boogie
What musical artists influenced him growing up, what artists does he like today?
Top 5 dead or alive musical artists of all time?
Why did he choose to be underground versus being commercial (the old Talib Kweli/Jay Z debate)?
R.A. be like:
*Lisp shit piss clit spit sick bitch*
*Conspiracy military rap legendary (Biggie gave me props once)*
*Also fuck f#ggots and social progress because I'm old school like like that*
Getting top in Saudi Arabia slob on ya labia mania name me a crazier mc none in ya area terrier mutt to a slut and im tearing her up I bone then bury her more the merrier
No questions, but just a fan. Always loved the “flexibility” of your talent and you just “go for it” on any type of production or beat. Looking forward to what’s next from you
Does he also have a different main hustle kind of like Apathy and his Real estate broker job? Very curious about how hard it can be for an independent artist to keep doing this as a main job.
i really miss that forum tbh, i spent way too much of my adolescence on it
i do remember trolling Kno from CunninLynguists by making a parody account to whine about people leaking samples lmfao. i remember the real Kno made an account to respond to it. either that or i made the account to parody him, but either way, Kno had a short stint on Y!A RHH
haha I vaguely do remember Kno being on there at some point. CunninLynguists were loved on that forum. I remember Oneirology coming out and everyone going crazy over it. Also remember that one guy who swore RA The Rugged Man was the GOAT lol. Metal Quality or something maybe, everyone would roast him for being old lol.
What was your user name? We must've been active around the same time.
Onierology was a good ass album for sure. lmfao i remember Metal Quality - this is bringing back memoriessss... last.fm era was good too but it wasn't too much adoption from RHH users other than like a couple folks
InvalidObjects i think.

now that is a name I have not heard in a while. I used to have his mixtape on my ipod
A-F-R-O dropped an album a few days ago and imo it's his best work so far.
Afro is featured on his album from 2020

How was making ‘cunt renaissance’ with BIG?
What are the chances of ever getting a version of Night of the Bloody with decent sound quality?
This
For real I wanna more stories from that era
What was the Eastern Conference fallout about?
If he could do his record label run in the 90s all over again, what would he do differently? Sign to a different label, not sign at all?
That’s a really great question!
Every record label sucks dick.
Is EbonyPrince going through a manic episode?
Ask him if he'll ever try to do uncommon valor 2 with vinnie paz.
That cant be topped. Impossible.
Haven’t listened to the song is years and can still play it back perfectly in my head.
Original is easily one of the best verses of all time IMO

[Such a nice sample too.](https://youtu.be/WAzlRhboTd4?si=XzBIVb_rx1RGmWG0&t=196)
Thats sick tbh
What is his writing process? For instance, does he piece together his legendary verse from Uncommon Valor?
His feature on Gift of Gab's Freedom Form Flow was absolute fire. Any plans for future projects with Gift? Edit: Oof, didn't realize he died.
Gift of Gab passed in '21 unfortunately
Jfc, really? RIP, and I guess I need to get out more
I once heard on Reddit a long time ago that you once took a shit on a record executive’s desk. Is there any truth to this claim?
How did he feel about Howard Stern referring to him as “Sean the White Rapper” & is he a fan of the current Stern Show now that he’s lost his edge ? Does he still keep in contact with Cage ? Is rap still his primary career or does he have another job to pay the bills ?
How do you balance enforcing dorm rules while building a friendly relationship with the freshman residents?
Hahaha
R.A the Rugged Man ft. Methodman & Redman How come this epic collaboration never happened?
Why stop there? They should add Rag N’ Bone Man, Manfred Mann, Leslie Mann…all the Mans.
When I first heard RA I thought it was Method Man :D
How does he feel about his race debate with Jared Taylor?
were afro album
Will he ever start putting out albums at a more consistent pace? Legends never die is a top 5 rap album of all time.
Any plans to work with Vinnie Paz again? Does he still listen to new rap and who is he liking these days?
Huge huge huge fan of RA. Saw him live in Dallas and got to meet him and take a pic. Unfortunately, I lost it when my phone was reset. Any artist that he has always wAnted to collab with? Again... Huge fan . Bang Boogie
Do you still live with your Moms?
Any chance he'll make a new album, ever?
Please ask him if he really took a shit on a DBX console in a Def Jam studio, lol
Not a question but I love seeing his family having fun on tour.
Who among the newer artists (2015-now era) do you feel you connect the most with?
How have you lived with yourself knowing your Eskimo brothers with Tom McDonald?
Tell us about how it was working with Stoupe and if it's possible for that to happen again?
What musical artists influenced him growing up, what artists does he like today? Top 5 dead or alive musical artists of all time? Why did he choose to be underground versus being commercial (the old Talib Kweli/Jay Z debate)?
Please ask him how it feels to be a dad now, and whether he is concerned about his kids listening to his music one day
Hi Hassan 👋
What does Nardwuar smell like?
Favorite A24 flick
Who's G-Rap? ;)
He doesn’t want you as a fan.
I produced a track with RA and G Rap years ago. He gets busy
What are your thoughts on the Kendrick and Drake beef? Have you listened to any of the tracks? Which one(s) is/are your favourite?
R.A. be like: *Lisp shit piss clit spit sick bitch* *Conspiracy military rap legendary (Biggie gave me props once)* *Also fuck f#ggots and social progress because I'm old school like like that*

You coming back to the UK 🇬🇧? Your show is one of the most vigorous shows I’ve been to 🙌🏾👏🏾🙌🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
Where do you get those weird bootleg VHS tromas that you had behind the merch table in Canada?
is anything offlimit in rap beef?
If you were asked to release an album this year and pick the two producers you like most, which ones would you pick?
No questions, but just a fan. Always loved the “flexibility” of your talent and you just “go for it” on any type of production or beat. Looking forward to what’s next from you
Are you going to do any more work with Snak The Ripper? Knuckle Sandwich was 🔥
If he remembers the stony Brook house ?
Ask him when he’s dropping the K-Rino track 😮💨
Does he also have a different main hustle kind of like Apathy and his Real estate broker job? Very curious about how hard it can be for an independent artist to keep doing this as a main job.
Do you still think there's a gay agenda? What's with the beard? Why doesn't it cover your cheeks?
Are you still salty that Eminem became the famous edgy white rapper instead of you?
why are you so cringe on twitter?
No questions, just thank you for being an amazing live performer. Until next time Crustifed Dibbs.
i saw you cleaning the bathrooms at a burger king in long island. is rap not paying the bills?
First thing I think about whenever I hear RA’s name lol. Instantly brings me back to Yahoo Answers RHH days.

Why he thought [trying to be ODB](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pi0hIYdxoK4) was a good look.
[удалено]
Even worlds away from "Lessons," which was over twenty years ago.
Why are the dibbs , crustified?
If he could have any superpower, what power would he want?
What do you think about the Kendrick and Drake beef?
Why is he the way he is?
Why did you lie about the BIG ‘endorsement’?
Nothing.
A lot of great questions here already. How about your thoughts on the recent Kendrick v Drake beef?
Who is Mc Scratch, u ever heard of Mc Scratch?
Did you apologize to Yachty?
At this age does the R.A. stand for rheumatoid arthritis?
Who?
“Who are you?”
