The sophomore album from Ras Kass, RASASSINATION is a stellar effort that features guest spots by some of the hottest contemporary hip-hop stars. "Ghetto Fabulous" is a hot track that features Dr. Dre and Mack 10. The lyrical delivery of Ras Kass is what makes him stand out amongst other MC's. Check for his consistently blazing flow on "Conceited Bastard" and "WaterProof." The eight-minute epic "Interview With a Vampire" makes you realize how fluent and dynamic Ras's flow can be. Producer Easy Mo Bee enlivens a track the surefire club hit "Grindin'." Other standouts are "Ice Age," which features Kurupt, and "All Or Nothin'," guest starring Twista. Some of the other contributors to RASASSINATION are The RZA, Xzibit, Bad Azz and Big Jaz. All in all, there is plenty of street poetry here for the hip-hop purist.
Industry Reviews
3 Mics (out of 5) - ...the water-proof MC keeps the lyrics flowing with more of a focus on production....Relying on linguistic gymnastics, his multi-layered rhyme scenes are so intricate that many tracks deserve repeated listens...
The Source (10/01/1998)
4 (out of 5) - ...He's one of those rappers where you hang on to every word, because he's got charisma, wit, intellect and he pays attention to everything around him...
Rap Pages (12/01/1998)
...RASSASSINATION sees Ras Kass having more fun his second time around....Ras questions everything from the descent of man to afterlife to time travel...
