[Intro] Radio speaker : Yeah baby, it's Phil Cassese live on Night Talk We're talking about musical genius R.A. The Rugged Man Let's take some calls, find out what you guys think #1 Caller: Yo, R's definitly one of the illest lyricist I've ever heard, that's real #2 Caller: R.A. man, he's coming out, guns blazing baby, BOOM, watch out #3 Caller: He's very intelligent, he's a positive role model in rap #4 Caller: I went to a show last week, he was the bomb... He was better than Michael Jackson #5 Caller: He's so sexy, My girl said he had an 11 inch cock, couldn't walk a week after #6 Caller: Yo R.A. is worldwide man, he's going platinum, quadruple, and big time #7 Caller: First time I saw him, I knew he had a star quality, he's a superstar [Verse 1] Ayyo, here's the whole story, the whole true, "He's retarded" Here's how my whole bullshit career started Back in '88 it was about battle rapping and shooting guns off At house parties, say "HO" (BANG!BANG!BANG!) on the streets before rhyming No complaining, no money, no fame, still maintaining 1991, now my whole career started busting You seen on stage shows, guess the crowd jump in it Let the kids come on Tommy Boy, Mercury, Priority wanted me Russell Simmons, and 9 other record companies Sending limousines out to pick up my broke ass Feeding me steaks, buying me hookers, I hope that shit last I was used to have no cash, I got gassed White trash, why they wanna sign my ass? '92 the whole industry was on my dick I signed to Jive Records, and fucked up the whole shit [Hook] You're a shining star You're a superstar (Ooohhh) (Large star) (But you gonna be large) You're a shining star You're a superstar (Ooohhh) (Yeah, right) [Verse 2] Now I'm stuck on a wack label They say, "See the way you behave Now wonder why the label hate you" They said "He's a beast, he's a creature Keep him in the other room, don't let him see Aaliyah" "Ban him from the building, I don't wanna see him either" "He just don't know how to play the game right He could be larger than life" They try to turn the label Caucasian They signed me, Whitey Don and the Insane Clown Posse And then they signed the Backstreet Boys and Britney It's a pop label, what the fuck they want with me? Forget R. Kelly, I'mma do that ripping out your cunt shit I flipped the fuck out and did some dumb shit On some look at me, I got a gun shit I ain't gonna give you that commercial run hit Instead I gave you "Every record label suck dick" Try to press charges against me Suited me, blackballed me My lawyer wouldn't even call me [Hook] You're a shining star You're a superstar (Ooohhh) (Large star) (But you gonna be large) You're a shining star You're a superstar (Ooohhh) (Large star) You're a shining star You're a superstar (Ooohhh) (Large star) (But you gonna be large) You're a shining star You're a superstar (Ooohhh) (Yeah, right) [Verse 3] '95, I'm broke out the ass, no dough Watching everybody else around me blow Trackmasters, Mobb Deep, Keith Murray Biggie and Puff, I will admit it, I was jealous as fuck I was so pathetic No dough, found an ugly chick With a no dough fetish, all my old hoes jetted Went from hearing "You gon' be a star kid" To hearing "He ain't talented, he's garbage" Now for shitty kicks there's no market '96, I got a gun now I remember I was plotting to kill Jeff Fenster Moved back in with pop duke And my handicapped brothers and sisters, and we had no loot That's when the Feds came by And surrounded the house They had automatic weapons, and was pulling 'em out And the moral of the story is All that glamour and glitz shit (what?) Fuck that shit, I don't need it [Hook] You're a shining star You're a superstar (Ooohhh) (Large star) (But you gonna be large) You're a shining star You're a superstar (Ooohhh) (Yeah, right) [Outro] Radio speaker: Yeah baby, it's Phil Cassese, we're back live on Night Talk The subject: R.A. the Rugged Man... What happened to that guy? We're taking calls #1 Caller: Yo, R's the true definition of a wack ass, punk ass, bitch ass MC, 'na mean #2 Caller: R.A., You're going down boy like a piece of shit, BOOM! #3 Caller: I see him at the mall, he grab my ass and spit on my tits #4 Caller: I went to a show last week, it sucked so bad He was in his underwear, spitting everywhere, he's so disgusting #5 Caller: Yeah, my girl fucked him She sad he had a little 2 inch dick, and couldn't keep it hard #6 Caller: R.A.? He’s hurting, man. Heard his label drop him, guy's a loser #7 Caller: Yo anybody seen that guy R.A. around, heard he's fucking broke #8 Caller: Yeah, I don't think R.A. is that bad guy and everything Just cause he's losing and shit, and I, before.. Radio speaker: I think we might have R.A. the Rugged Man on the line now R.A, is that you? #8 Caller: Uuuh... NO!

I remember this shit from back in the day, didn’t know this video ever came out. And I remember seeing Brittany and thinking the video was a joke, I had to ask people - they didn’t know who she was. Then I found out who signed her and it was mind blowing...FF a few years and RA is just as good but changed with the times as well👍👍
