Rass Kass tells his favorite story about Eminem & Jay-Z’s protegee

Rass Kass has recently done an interview with HipHopDX where the legendary rapper talked about how he made Jay-Z’s artists Eminem believer.

“We had couple of shows where Eminem opened up for me. I came out before Em that’s all, I had an opportunity before him. I brought one of Jay-Z’s artists with me one time and told him who Eminem was before Eminem was ‘Eminem’. He was from New York, Brooklyn and he was like ‘naah, white boy? Pff..’ We were in Detroit and he was opening up for me and I said to him ‘Eminem is better than 95% of us.’ He was like ‘NAAH’ especially being from New York. And then I said ‘I’m sorry I’m wrong. He’s better than 99.9% of us.’ He was like ‘get the f**k outta here, son. bla bla bla.’ He want back to Jay-Z and told him that. That was way before Em blew up. Way before ‘Renegade.’ Jay-Z had never heard of Eminem.”

“That’s one of my favorite Eminem stories before anyone knew who he was. Well, Detroit knew he was super talented. He was ill. And if any of my friend said he was not I would have looked at him funny cause you can’t deny Eminem’s talent. You can’t deny me. You can’t deny Rakim. You gotta give this people flowers. You gotta tell them ‘you are incredible, god blessed you with that talent.’ You ain’t hurting yourself by acknowledging somebody’s really amazing too. It should be motivation.” said Rass Kass

Ras Kass weighs in “The Game vs Eminem” debate

Veteran rapper Ras Kass addresses his beef with The Game and gives his opinion on The Game saying he’s a better rapper than Eminem on Drink Champs.

When asked about his opinion on this topic, here is what legendary LA rapper replied: “I’m a fan of Eminem. And I’m going to say this. Only rappers that write their raps should battle rappers that write their raps. Period [Indicating The Game is not wiring his own lyrics]. I’m not big respector of who is more popular though.”

Ras then continues talking about The Game critiquing the system of music industry: “Let’s say you watch somebody that ain’t popular and they’d be like ‘yo that s**t is rigged it’s f**ked up’ and when they get poppin’ they are like ‘yeah I did it. I did it by myself.’ And when they ain’t poppin’ no more they are like ‘that s**t is rigged.’ I feel like some people complain about the system when they don’t work in their advantage but all the time they were working in their advantage, it was all good.”

“Eminem as an emcee deserves a respect just as much as Royce 5’9″, Pharoahe Monch, Redman, Chino XL, Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul. Ain’t no ni**a on the pedestal high enough where he can’t get into a battle but one rule of it is you gotta write your raps. If you don’t write your raps and you sit around with two or three other ni**as helping write your raps you are not in this conversation. And you could extrapolate from that what you want. I’m not naming no weird ni**as in this conversation.” Ras Kass added.
