Comment: R.A. the Rugged Man is goddamn insane on the mic. The only thing keeping this from getting 5 stars is some suspect hooks and a few less than stellar beats. From a lyrical standpoint though, nobody is fuckin with this dude. |

Comment: Just finished watching Mad Men that originally aired on 5/11/13 and the very last song they played is the original song sampled for "Defintiion of A Rap Flow Albee 3000"! Maybe the producers of that show heard this album and liked it so much, they thought it would be a good idea to include it. |

Comment: Defintiion of A Rap Flow Albee 3000 and that rap style is that Golden Era flava! and also referencing Biz Markie's 'Albee Square Mall' off of the 1988 album Goin off produced by Marly Marl look that up, but ive never been there... I mean the actual mall in Brooklyn. "Go Shoppin" Oh and ah... to add to that, that sample for Definition of a Rap Flow comes from a husband and wife duo named Friend & Lover song titled 'Reach Out of The Darkness' look that up. and that bass line is just too contagious. |

Comment: I personally find the use of opera and classical samples here to be hilarious. If you're a fan of classic hardcore punchline driven rap, this will light up your eyes (specifically from the 90s era). I would recommend this to old school Redman and Big Pun fans, particularly. The song "Legends Never Die" is more introspective than anything Redman has done, however (and a rare tribute to a father in hip-hop). Samples are used creatively, with a lot of chopping and "stabs". I've only listened to a few songs so far, but Ra shows he's a strong lyricist with good delivery on this record. |

Comment: production isnt that bad, but it could have been a little darker, kyo itachi would have been some solid stuff along with mr green and c-lance.and a couple of added features like celph titled and Juxx or some Milez Grimez would have took it to another level,but it is what it is Ra is one of the best MCs,and at the end of the day you rate an album for talent on the mic,but beats are neverless very important these days especially with all the dope production that been comin out from Albums like Acid & Vicious-Al tarba vs Lord Lhus.Dirt Platoon war faces etc. if only tracks like bang bang boogie with that twin peeks vibe kept rotating shit would have been crazy. still worth every penny.peace |

Comment: Only his 2nd official album not including his Crustified Dibbs debut back in the 90's. Die Rugged Man Die was a small glimpse into this MC's greatness. Man this follow up which is 9 years later is an absolute gem of an album. R.A. for me is one of the greatest MC's, period!!! I think he's been around so long that it'd be a hard task to drop an undisputed classic but that's not because of him or the beats, it's just how it goes. I know R.A. is not lookin for that classic anyway, he just real where he will always drop quality whenever and wherever and keep real hip hop going strong and that is more than enough for me than a classic album. Keep it coming Ruggs, this album is BEAST!!!! |

Comment: "Definition Of A Rap Flow (Albee 3000)" - Holy shit this song literally gave me goose bumps. Dayum!!! Wow. Great. I literally have tears it's so hot. Rarely happens to me but it's what happens when I have a musical orgasm. Yeah! Besides that song, just about every other track is excellent. R.A. is so good that he really could have done without any featured guests, which is a rarity in this day and age with many albums relying on the guest artists to make it sellable. If this really is "just the beginning" as R.A. states, then hip hop has a VERY bright future. Thank you R.A. for this album - it makes me remember why I love hip hop so much. |

Comment: Let the buyer beware! You can't just go by the die hard RA fans on these reviews. I 100% agree, RA really wrecked shop on his pen game...BUT there is some of us who feel his vocal pitch didn't match with a few of the instrumentals. Some of his guest appearances didn't do him justice. That super fast rapping scheme gets old quick...Some of the tracks sound identical to the next one. Nonetheless,they def are some real goood tracks. Sorta like Kool Keith, dope lyrics but corny azz hooks 4 most of the album. It's def cool to see the love y'all show for this hard-working man on this page...BUT I miss his raw Crustified Dibbs style.. i'll let the newer fans enjoy his new material..Nuff said. |

Comment: I don't know if I was listening to the same album as the rest of you. Let me first say that I am a huge RA fan, have been for a very long time, but I am very disappointed with this album. He spits nasty as ever throughout the album but the production and the hooks are corny as all hell and for the most part down right wack. If this was any other MC I would not have even bothered to right a review of the album, RA's pure rawness on the mic is the only saving grace for this album. I just hope that he's not one of these MC's that cant maintain a whole album and is better in guest spots. |

Comment: Dooooood, this album is dope as fuck!
DX has tons of haters on it, saying that the album cover and title are hubristic in nature. To them, I point to the title track, "Legends Never Die," and ask them if their opinion is still the same. If it is, your brain could use a cleanse, because the entire thing, to me, screams tribute. A part of that might also be due to his guest spots, and the fact that RA is still kicking ill flows (better than ever, outside of "Uncommon Valor," actually). R.A. tears the mic apart on this (very fluid) LP.
And I must say, R.A. knows his target:
"I make records for the shepherds and not for the sheep" Geeetttttt 'eeemmmmm! |

Comment: My full review: It's finally here. Legends Never Die is finally here. It's not everyday we get to hear new material from R.A. the Rugged Man. It's been 9 years since his last full length album "Die, Rugged Man, Die" was released, and 4 years since his label put out a compilation album. R.A. tends to stays out of the spotlight, and for good reason. R.A. is truly a rugged man. He doesn't give a fuck about today's world of Hip Hop, and his embarrassment and disgust is expressed periodically throughout his new release. The long-awaited sophomore album from the deservingly self proclaimed legend is dope. There is no doubt that R.A. the Rugged Man can rap his ass off. Some may dislike his music, but there is no denying his ability to obliterate the mic. Legends Never Die only further solidifies his position as one of the all time greats and the last of a dying breed in Hip Hop. From start to finish, Legends Never Die never leaves you bored. In the past critics have pointed out poor production, lazy rhymes and too much filler as deep flaws in R.A.'s work, Legends Never Die shows none of this. This release only brings the best of Rugged Man and his ability to kick any style he wants to the table. Who else can have Hopsin and Tech N9ne on the same album as Masta Ace, Talib Kweli and Vinnie Paz? It's quite remarkable what R.A. shows that he can do with this release. Let's take a deeper look at Legends Never Die track by track:
1. Still Diggin' Wit' Buck [prod. Buckwild]:
R.A. opens Legends Never Die with one of the best beats I've heard in a while. Buckwild's production on this joint reminds me of the Harlem Renaissance. While R.A.'s rhymes on this one are fairly simple, they're also to the point. I'm a legend. This is real Hip Hop. I am slightly disappointed that this one wasn't longer as it felt like R.A. may have wasted an opportunity to drop a classic song with this beat, but this is only the intro. Still Diggin Wit' Buck earns 4 out of 5 mics from me.
2. The Peoples Champ [prod. Apathy]:
This one has actually been out for a few months now. It was the first single off of the album. The People's Champ isn't necessarily a standout track, but it shows exactly what R.A. is capable of. The multis and flow on this one are very solid and Apathy's AOTP-style production is something we have seldom heard from the Rugged Man. I give this one 3.5 mics.
3. Definition of a Rap Flow [prod. Marc Niles & Dev-1]:
"Let's begin it like this. The definition of a rap flow, I'ma reinvent it like this." This track is insane. R.A. brings a totally flawless flow incorporating complex rhyme schemes and never once skipping a beat. His homage to Biz Markie is respectable and Amile Bruun's singing compliments the song very well. Marc "n*gga" Niles and Dev-1 bring simple production that allow R.A. to execute his untouchable flow. Definition of a Rap Flow deserves 5 out of 5 mics.
4. Learn Truth (ft. Talib Kweli) [prod. Mr. Green]
This might be my favorite song on the album. It was released as a single in late March and immediately caught attention from the Hip Hop community. Talib opens this one with one of the better verses he's spit in the last few years, taking a super lyrical approach to political and social issues facing the urban community. Mr. Green provides top notch production as always and R.A. kills the track in typical Rugged Man fashion. R.A.'s verse is incredible, in my opinion surpassing his highly regarded verse on Uncommon Valor. Yes, I'm serious. Learn Truth gets a perfect 5 out of 5 mics.
5. Bang Boogie [prod. Jussi Jaakola]:
Bang Boogie is a solid track. R.A.'s flow seems a bit off-beat at certain points, but it is obviously on purpose. The production is very good. I feel like this song is reminiscent of something we would've heard on Die, Rugged Man, Die. I give it 3.5 mics.
6. Tom Thum [prod. Will Tell]:
I love this joint. R.A. the Rugged Man teams up with Australian beatboxer Tom Thum on this one to lay down one of the most unique approaches on the album. There are no scratches of samples on this record. Everything was done by mouth from Tom Thum beatboxing. Add R.A.'s funny yet murderous rapping and a hint of violin and you've got yourself a classic. 4.65 out of 5 mics.
7. Holla-Loo-Yuh (ft. Krizz Kaliko and Tech N9ne) [prod. C-Lance]:
This may come as a surprise to some, but this track actually disappointed me. Maybe it was because I was expecting one of the greatest Hip Hop songs I've ever heard in my entire life from this one, but it didn't live up to the hype. Tech N9ne's verse sounded lazy. Like he didn't care and thought of R.A. as some chump paying him for a throwaway verse. Krizz makes up for this by delivering a very catchy hook that I've never heard on an R.A. album before. The Rugged Man's verse was very solid, but still disappointing. He seemed to focus too much on rapping fast (probably to outdo Tech in case he brought his usual flow) and less on flow and wordplay. Still a good track and I could see it gathering some mainstream attention once the music video drops for the hook and Tech N9ne alone. 3.75 out of 5 mics.
8. Media Midgets [prod. Buckwild]:
R.A. slows it down and takes a political approach with this one, ripping the fuck out of Buckwild's beat. Taking shots at the media and corporations is nothing we haven't heard from R.A. before, but the way he delivers his message on Media Midgets is. "And why so many folks is jealous that I was co-signed by Biggie? And then the nerds rewriting history lying saying he dissed me. I know in your small brains it might hurt. But I was there, the closest you ever got was wearing Biggie on your t-shirt" were my favorite bars. This one gets a perfect 5 mics easy.
9. Shoot me in the Head [prod. Marco Polo]:
After hearing Shoot me in the Head as a freestyle at a live show years ago, I didn't think I would like this one, but I loved it. The opera sample is surprisingly not overwhelming. R.A. spits some hilarious self-deprecating rhymes and the hook literally made me laugh out loud the entire time. With opera singers singing "I'm a piece of shit, I'm a fucking fat fuck. Shoot me in the head," how can you not? 5 mics.
10. Legends Never Die (Daddy's Halo) [prod. Mr. Green]:
I've never heard anything remotely like this before. The closest I think we've been to an emotional track from R.A. was "Midnight Thud," which wasn't actually all that deep. I as the listener could capture the emotion in R.A.'s lyrics and feel what he felt. This one sent chills down my spine, especially when he choked up at the end of his 2nd verse and began to cry. The hook is a bit corny. I never though he would sample a Beyonce song, but it fits the context perfectly. 4.75 out of 5 mics.
11. The Dangerous Three (ft. Brother Ali & Masta Ace) [prod. Mr. Green]:
Instant classic. That's all I have to say. Go listen to this one yourself. It's fucking amazing. Flawless. Perfect. 5 out of 5 mics.
12. Luv to Fuck [prod. Shuko]
Eamon returns from a hiatus even longer than R.A.'s and teams up with him to make an interestingly beautiful sex song. R.A. describes it as Casanova part 2. I think it's way better than that. He brings back the old school flow, but takes it to the next level. Eamon's chorus is something I didn't expect. The dude is extremely talented. Shuko's production is on point. I give Luv to Fuck 4.5 out of 5 mics.
13. Underground Hitz (ft. Hopsin) [prod. Will Tell]
This was easily the worst song on the album. Despite that, I still like it. It's just nothing special and doesn't fit in very well with the rest of the album. I wanted this one to be a standout track. While R.A. likely won't break into the new school, Funk Volume, high school demographic with this Hopsin feature, die hard fans of his will no doubt check it out and appreciate the talent Rugged Man possesses. I can't give it any more than 3 out of 5 mics though.
14. Laugh, Clown, Laugh [prod. Vherbal]
Laugh, Clown, Laugh is dope. A bit forgettable, but dope. The beat almost has an ominous feel to it and R.A. take it to some creepy clown, house of horrors type shit. The Slick Rick and Doug E. Fresh hook builds on that. I feel like I'm going to be kidnapped and tortured by It listening to this song. 4 out of 5 mics.
15. Sam Peckinpah (ft. Vinnie Paz & Sadat X) [prod. C-Lance]
Holy. Fucking. Shit. Sam Peckinpah is just what you'd expect from Vinnie and R.A. Production, flow, lyrics, everything. It's doper than you can imagine. Their best collaboration hands down. Not sure how I feel about Sadat on the hook. I think it'll grow on me, but it seemed like too much of a mellow contrast from the angry, kill shit, conspiracy verses that R.A. and Vinnie lay down. One thing I'll say is that I think Rugged Man was finally outshined in a verse. Vinnie spit some of the illest shit I've heard him spit since early 2000s Jedi Mind Tricks. It may be his braggart approach and confident voice against R.A.'s laid back bars, but the multis he brings on this one are out of this world. Another perfect 5 out of 5 mics.
16. Shuko Outro
Not much to say here. It's just R.A. thanking his fans. Actually a good transition into the end of the album.
17. Still Get Through the Day [prod. Ayatollah]
This is the 2nd and last personal song on Legends Never Die. On Still Get Through the Day, R.A. isn't as emotional as on Daddy's Halo, although he does divulge into his family tragedies and struggles in the past. Eamon's hook is meant to lift your spirits more than it is to make you feel the emotion of the artists. The message of this one is basically "life is beautiful, stop bitching about shit the doesn't matter." Solid joint, and one to remember. 4.25 out of 5 mics.
18. Make You Famous [prod. Vherbal]
To close out his sophmore album, R.A. the Rugged Man gets a little more political, but focusing more on the brainwashed youth and consumer society. Typical Block McCloud hook, which doesn't disappoint. This is actually pretty strong for a bonus track and a very good closure to the album. 4.5 out of 5 mics.
Overall I have to say Legends Never Die is an incredible project. Album of the year material for sure. The replay value for Legends Never Die is very high. It may not be perfect or everyone's style, but any true fan of Hip Hop would be a fool to not check this one out. Every single verse R.A. leaves you stunned. The production is, for the first time in his career, on point. The features only compliment this project. Legends Never Die was definitely everything I expected and then some. A true masterpiece in today's world of Hip Hop
Final rating: 9.25 out of 10. |
