Underground Hip Hop stalwart R.A. The Rugged Man had something to celebrate on Thursday (February 15). The diehard New Yorker hit Twitter to announce an upcoming collaboration with Immortal Technique.
“People have been waiting for this collab for too long..I’m in the studio with IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE right now,” R.A. wrote. “Getting it done for the fans. @ImmortalTech #HipHop #KnowledgeBars.”
Immortal Technique quickly followed up with his own tweet that read simply “!!!” along with R.A.’s original post.
As indicated by R.A.’s tweet, this marks the first time the two have worked together. R.A. hasn’t put out a proper studio album since 2013’s Legends Never Die, which featured guest spots from Talib Kweli, Masta Ace and Tech N9ne, among others. His most recent offering was his assist on Onyx’s new single “O.D.”
It’s been even longer since Immortal Technique put out a full-length project. The politically outspoken MC’s latest album was 2008’s The 3rd World. And after several delays, he still hasn’t released The Middle Passage, which he began working on in the mid-2000s. His last update on the project came in November 2016 when he said it would be out in 2017 but evidently it didn’t come together.
More like R.A. The Bald Man.
Not sure why that matters, as that doesn’t make his music/skills any worse than they are. Unless you’re looking at male rappers like that you’d like to date them.
It matters when you go out your way like R.A. to conceal your balding head by wearing hats 24/7. Can’t he just shave it all off? Instead he got crazy sideburns and a mullet but completely bald on top. He must be very insecure. Same with B-Real..Papoose..Eminem..Ebro..Sway..Countless others.
Why do you care? Sounds like you’re the one that’s insecure AF.
“It matters when you go out your way like R.A. to conceal your balding head by wearing hats 24/7”
Yea that matters a lot. I can’t believe him. I’m never listening to him again. The nerve of him to wear a hat all the time.
Exactly. I find it hard to believe all that tough shit Pap speaks, all the while wearing a hat all his life, so afraid the world his bald dome lmao. I can tell it’s a bunch of bald dudes on here in the comments getting offended by the truth. These dudes need to look to Dr Phil for guidance.
Papoose worst nightmare is waking up and all his hats are missing and he got mad interviews and places to go lol
Lmaoooo
I got to get this
THANK YOU
Immortal Tech would lyrically crush all you clowns.
R.A. is ill… Technique? Not so much.
IT got them punchlines though mixed with political and social intellect.
What’s important here is 2 hip hop legends are making new music together. Who gives a fuck about another mans haircut or bald head?!
ive really lost interest in immortal,hes gonna be the next axl rose,taking 15 years to make an album.if thats the case then i wish he would give up music altogether.thanks but no thanks,i like his music but its not good enough to be taking this long,apathy and vinnie paz put him to shame.
I have a feeling this track will be released when The Final Passage is released =/
