R.A. The Rugged Man has released a hilarious new trailer for his forthcoming album, All My Heroes Are Dead. The seasoned MC dropped the clip via Twitter on Friday (April 3), which begins with the narrator’s booming voice setting the scene.
“From the Golden Era of Hip Hop, back when biting was a crime …” the voice says before panning to a “Hip Hop fan” talking on his cell phone.
“Yeah, Rakim was OK, but Hip Hop has evolved, man,” the guy says. “Drake’s the real G.O.A.T.”
As R.A. throws the guy over a bridge, the narrator continues, “… comes one man, a rugged man, riding the world of trash rap, one MC at a time.”
All My Heroes Are Dead is expected to arrive on April 17. It serves as the Nature Sounds artist’s third studio album and boasts guest features from several Wu-Tang Clan members, Kool G Rap, Chuck D, Ice-T, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Onyx, Brand Nubian, M.O.P. and Immortal Technique, among others.
R.A. The Rugged Man Unveils 'All My Heroes Are Dead' Tracklist & Drops 'Golden Oldies' With Slug
Last month, R.A. released the first single for the project called “Golden Oldies” featuring Atmosphere and Eamon.
Check it out below.
Talks a lot of talk then I click to listen to that Golden Oldies jawn and mans is not hot. I am not into Drake but if you’re going to step up to talk, let your music be fire. This dude always talking about being blackballed…his music is nothing special. What the hell
Silly flipping sausage
Yea… you’re not into Drake…sure.
I listened to Golden Oldies too… I’d say it is better than the majority of popular rappers music today. May not be your tastes, but I think most hiphop heads would agree that his music is better than 90% of the rap in the billboard charts, if not more than 90%.
That’s the thing….hip hop heads shit is pretentious g. “If compared to today’s rap”…. wrong arena. Times up. Run that to slow dudes. I know good music and that Golden Oldies is not hitting. I can’t play that anywhere but at an office party with a few token black people IJS hip hop heads are hipster white dudes nowadays y’all give that shit too much power
Nah. I’m a hip hop head. Been on this shit heavy since back in the day. Yeah there are a lot of white hipsters calling themselves hip hop heads but most of those cornballs never listen to street shit or can’t tell you the number of classic Outkast albums. They prefer non-threatening hip hop for real. R A us legit knowledgeable and I agree with 99% of shit he says in interviews but of the songs I heard from dude. Didn’t like em. Where’s the punchlines is my question.
Lol, so RA The Rugged Man, with songs beside Ghostface Killah and Rakim, is making white hipster music for token black men… Okayyyy, sureee. I think you are talking about eminem…
Uh, him being black balled is completely real. It was because he was such a crazy person, doing absolutely insane shit while younger. Businessmen don’t wanna work with people who they cannot contain or control, and who will not give up their creativity for money. Nobody is saying he was black balled because of his style in music. It was due to his character, actions, and how he wouldn’t be good for marketing to the masses. I mean, the industry doesn’t like MCs anyway. The industry likes dudes like Kendrick, who yes is talented, but will make whack ass pop songs like “big shot”. That song is fucking gay as fuck.
R.A a goat 100 – but it’s way cooler to allow mainstream artists to do what they do. Always hating just shows weakness
Drake better than Rakim? That’s like saying Lebron is better than Jordan. It just ain’t happening.
Drake IS NOT LEBRON. That’s a straight up diss to Lebron.
Big deal…Lebron wil never be as good as MJ
Drake doesn’t even know who this bozo is lol. He’s hoping he gets some attention for that subpar album of his. Both of you SUCK.
I’m sure Drake does know RA. Drake may be a pop star, but he looked up to many emcees. Being an emcee isn’t about popularity, it’s about making good music and rhymes. Drake is a pop star, as are the majority of popular rappers now.
Dope
This dude looks about 60
If u actually think he looks 60, then you are straight up mentally retarded. He looks mid 40s.
Pretty funny lol. Dude is always clowning. I’m definitely looking forward to this album… The track list features are dope! Some raw hiphop for sure. Tough to find a better track list feature set in this day n age.
Anybody who believes that the president cares about the people of the country, ur out of ur minds. He’s allowing people to die!
He hates immigrants but uses them to clean his hotels and work his golf courses. The game plan is to ethnically cleanse the country. Then, bring industries from China to the united states, build infrastructure, and care for your sick, all of which u need immigrants for. The economy was built imported help(slave labor), who replaces these people after your president kills and deports them? After he kicks these people out of the country, who is going to work hotel work the fields? Amerikkkans?
Who is going to be in a rush to help you? The number of death will far surpass any nation. Why wouldn’t they just go somewhere else? You turned your backs on the Kurds, your president has no national gameplan while the civilians are dying, and he’s going to starve the people again(government shut down) with this pathetic stimulus plan where the senate wanted $500billion with no over site?
Im more amazed there hasn’t been some sort of petition to get him removed before too many more of your people die. The rest of the world sees the non sense over there, its bizarre that the civilians are not doing much to protect their future.
As Americans this is acceptable? The world is looking at you, its a shit show! The shit show always gets worse, with more lies. Govenor of Georgia not know it can be spread asympomatically. Huh? Covid19- Apr3, 2020. Still, Not Ready!
The fuck are u going off about? This article isn’t political dumbass. Hates immigrants? Obama deported more illegal aliens than Trump lol. Legal immigration is not being knocked.
How are you going to compare Obama’s 8 years of deportations to Trumps 3 years of deportations????
I’m not comparing Obamas 8 years dumb fuck. I am comparing Obamas first 3 years to Trumps first 3 years. When comparing each of their first 3 years, you have Obama deporting hundreds of thousands more. Look it up. Obama deported more than anyone in American history.
People dying from Corona virus is Trumps fault? So the 80,000+ deaths from Swine Flu was Obamas fault? And the thousands of deaths in Italy is that leaders fault? Christ… It’s fine to hate a politician, but to blame mother nature on a leader is retarded. If Trump listened to everyone around him, he wouldn’t have even stopped travel from China… I’m sure YOU would call him a racist for that haha. Dumbass. Enjoy the next 5 years pussy.
80,000+ deaths???? That some fake news bullshit. There were 12,469 deaths in America from the swine flu in 2009. If you’re gonna respond at least have the facts straight.
Did u just say America will surpass every nation for Corona deaths? Well no shit Sherlock. America is the 3rd most populated country, and we do not lie about our numbers. China does, completely. If u trust numbers from China or India, the only two nations with more people than America, then you’re a straight up retard. China and India are literally still 3rd world nations, just with a huge work force. Those 3rd world conditions are what lead to this to begin with. If u actually believe less than 4,000 deaths in China, yet forcefully qurantining MILLIONS and entire cities, then you are a complete moron. Chins is lying. And u really said the game plan is to ethnically cleanse the country? That’s some retard shit bro. If u want to see America ethnically cleansed, loo at Planned Parenthood! Kills OVER 50% OF ALL BLACK BABIES. Planned Parenthood has done more to hold back black America than any racist every could dream of doing.
For someone named The Truth you sure are spouting a lot of nonsense.
Okay, please fact check me then. Explain what was nonsense.
Worry about your own country bro. I bet you will see just as many deaths per capita. Canada is a failing country. You are being replaced by 3rd world Muslims. If you are white, you will be replaced soon enough. Your kind will be the beta males of Canada. Beta lil bitches haha.
Well youre a salty bitch arent you?
Face it Americans……youre country sucks and your world supremacy is coming to an end. China will take over and the US will fall.
The only thing of value you offer to yhe world is movies and TV……most of the music you put out is pure garbage.
Dont even get me started on what passes for hip hop nowadays……mumbling-ass fake gangsters that cant write, have zero flow and would get punked if they actually lived in the hood they claim to come from.
Lol, most our music is garbage? If u think about the top 10 emcees or world history, guess who makes that list? All Americans, dumbass. Nas, Jay, Em Pac, Big, Big Pun, Big L…. Dmx, 50 cent, ect…. America created rap music, and gave the world the very best of hiphop, ever. U don’t have to tell me mumble rap and popular music in 2020 is hot garbage. We all agree with that. That’s not just America though. That bullshit is famous worldwide, including Canada. And u really believe China will take over USA? Maybe if we had a Clinton in office, but we’ve got Trump. After all of this, America will come out strongest and China will be deeply hurt by the serious lack of business. Countries will no longer rely on China for its needs, such as medical supplies. America sucks… To YOU. There is a reason the majoortiy of the world’s immigrants want to move to AMERICA, not Canada… Hell, I rent a home to immigrant from Nepal. Their cousins could not become American citizens, so became Canadian citizens… They all wish they could be Americans. The American Nepalis say their now Canadian family desperately want to be American, as we are that much better. I’m sure you are a native Canadian, and if so, u are bei g replaced my friend. I don’t hate Canadians, or Canada. But I’d your gonna talk shit about America, I am gonna sling it right back at you and Canada.
Ontario Canada was literally warned hours ago to prepare for 15,000+ deaths lmfao. Quit acting as if any politician is to blame for mother nature. Quit using shit like this to make political statements. And fuck Canada. Your nation is bitch made shit. Your prime Minister is a literal cock sucker.
PREACH ON.
I feel sorry for you. You just spout the same garbage that, if you actually did research, would find out isn’t true.
Well, this guy has always sucked. He needs attention from folks who don’t even know he exists. All the skater/snowboarder “hip-hop” fans are looking forward to this. Nerds.
Only garbage to a sucker…UNCOMMON VALOR
Hahahaha. Sure, backpacker. All those legendary rappers who don’t fuck with him are suckers as well? Idiot. You’re probably Canadian.
Talking about how he needs attention from people who don’t know he exists. Please… Yet here you are giving him attention. If he was that bad you wouldn’t be here.. doing the exact same thing.. looking for attention. Your just a bitter bitch. Looking for a reason to be salty and negative. You comment section fa99ots are all the same.
And yet here YOU are on the comment section being salty. Hahahaha fuck this guy. And your mom for not swallowing you. I get it, he is a white dork that no one fucks with so you fee you can relate. Hahahahaha
…. try harder fam. We get it your bitter.
You just make shit up. This man has done songs with Rakim, Kool G Rap, Inspectah Deck, Chino XL, Vinnie Paz, Talib Kweli, etc.
Go back to your feminine dancing stripper like mumble rappers.
Legends don’t fuck with RA? Method man? Ghostface Killah? Rza? Gza? Vinnie Paz? Slug? Rakim? I think u need to reevaluate who u think is a legend or not… Drake and Kendrick aren’t legends.
My man is telling the truth. Hip hop is the top level of rap…….beats and rhymes. The rest is elementary bullshit! Play the real on the radio again.
Omg, this guy is so salty, seems like he stuck in the 80’s forever
He tryna hide his complete irrelevance under the mask of “ooh look at me i’m making THE REAL HIP-HOP”
Yeah, emcees in 2020 are all irrelevant. Doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the music ourselves.
It’s not about that. If rapper stick to the TRUE MC path, okay, it’s his choice. But RA is so fucking annoying with this narrative and his jabs at the new rappers. He thinks that rap music should stuck somewhere in the 80’s, just like him. All this “I praise Rakim, fuck Drake!!” mentality made him look salty and arrogant
Fuck this bald headed loser, he is like 60 years old. Also his last name ends in -berg so that makes him very sus, i’m afraid he’s part of the sinagogue of satan
My bad it’s Thorburn, not berg, apologies guys!
Dumbass! Can’t even get simple Google factz right. Maybe “shouldn’t say ish” should be your name. These Kids getting dumber and dumber now that there outta school.
*facts*, *they’re*, *out of* .
This same dude tried to get signed to major labels for YEARS. Hahahaha
Actually they tried to sign him. Shows your depth of knowledge on HipHop. Dweeb!
Hahahaha. Someone doesn’t keep track of a broke ass backpacker rapper’s fictional side of events, and they know nothing of Hip-Hop? Hahahaha. This dude was turned down by Def Jam. Facts. Rawkus wouldn’t fuck with him. Dude hasn’t had one gold album. Shows how much YOU know about Hip-Hop. Street motherfuckers ain’t bumping this bullshit. You’re probably a Madchild and ASeop Rocky fan. Nerd.
You are wrong. RA turned down multiple contracts. I think he prefers creative control over being owned by a popular label. I’d like to see him with Rhymesayees though
He was up in Def Jam BEGGING for a deal when Method Man got signed. He himself admitted it Hahahaha. Hold that L. Backpacker.
Fuck you
Hello all. I come to write on my quarantine entries for the top of the shelf. Isn’t it crazy how that happens. I stayed home thinking about the shit I want to eat. Then I decide I want a burrito with vegan meat and no flour. Damn it’s so complicated. I’m stuck eating ice and water to lose weight. I need to lose 89 lbs by next week or else I’m going to have to eat less.
Yours truly,
Malone”500lb”Jackson
His 2013 album was great, but from this one I haven’t heard a good single yet.
very interesting title for an album.
Drake would beat him up and make him cry
All my hero’s are dead is the name of the album then dude uses Rakim as a reference in his corny video. Did Rakim die on us? I seriously dislike Drake and his music. He is 1000% better and more relevant than this weirdo. Sad to say.
Lol, u just said Drake was 1000x better than RA… At what? Hiphop? Fuck no. U can dislike RAs character, but to say Drake is better at hiphop is just plain fucking stupid.
You know R.A is the only white rapper to have a Notorious B.I.G verse on his album? While he was still alive. I don’t think Aubrey will ever pull that off haha
Ppl talk shit about RA, but fact is the legendary MCs respect him, and make music with him. Rakim, Ghostface Killah, Method Man, all of Wutang clan really… Viine Paz, Slug, Biggie, Kool G Rap, Brand Nubian, Ice T, Onyx, Chino Xl, M.O.P., immortal technique, Chuck D, Vinnie Paz, and so many other great MCs. People can dislike RA and dislike his sound, subject matter, or character, but as a hiphop spitter, he’s very talented, and the real hiphop heads respect him.
He is also the only white rapper to have a B.I.G. verse, wether dead or alive when purchased, to never sell gold record status worth of albums? Hahahaha
South Africann hip hop about to blow the work
hold on….didn’t the notorious b.i.g. say r.a. the rugged man is a wack rapper back in the 90s….
Hold on, didn’t he make a record with him?!?!?!?
Biggie said himself he only recorded music with him because of the money and rated R.A. as very weak
I can’t find this info anywhere on the internet… Can you provide a link of some kind, or something to search to find it? I have a feeling you are talking out of your ass. Like RA or not, the legendary MCs are down with him (no, I’m not talking about mainstream pop rappers like Jayz or eminem)
This is false information that’s spread by people. Biggie never said this about RA the rugged man. A lot of false rumors about RA were created back in the day. Don’t believe the things that you can’t find and are ost likely to be false.
Damn, they gave homie time off at UPS to make an album? Hasn’t he been rapping for 20 years and still doesn’t have a gold record. This is just sad. Taking jabs at rappers who have no idea who he is? Sound like a Lord Jamar that is a worse MC. Hard to do, I know.
Imagine how weak and fragile you are when you have to defend your favorite rapper from what another rapper said about him on a hip hop news site even.
Or to even take your time to comment on that petty shit. Oh, wait… hahaha
Imagine giving a shit about what others choose to do for their entertainment while stuck home all day… Take your negativity, and channel it toward something positive!
”he make song with legend”
well,, underground rapper need to make song with another underground rapper. that’s how they eat.
immortal tech, mf doom, open mike eagle, kool keith, aesop rock don’t need a lot of feature on their album and they don’t need ”look at me” attitude.
