I remember first hearing Nature of The Threat back in the mid 90s and this song came out and thought to myself this was the greatest song ever written because it was based on facts and he gave a historical timeline from the beginning to the end!! Some of the things I was already aware of at this time because I never believed the history I was taught in school at a young age and that was because I always investigated what I felt I wasn't being told and always asked questions but he opened a lot of people's eyes when he dropped this and ruffled a lot of people's feathers with this one because he didn't hold back the truth. They were calling him the west coast version of Nas at this time and I personally believe this song right here is why the industry kind of blackballed him from going mainstream after he released this. You would have to go with Tupac's Brenda's Gotta Baby and Nas New York State of Mind(both true poets) to find songs that's on the level of Nature of the Threat, hell even KRS One Sound of Da Police(and KRS was the teacher) which was also a classic, but none of them give you a historical timeline in a lyrical format like Ras Kass did on this song.(And that's saying something because Tupac and Nas are considered the GOATS in hip hop) This song actually dropped 2 and half weeks after Tupac died in Vegas which caught a lot of people by surprise because 96 was one of the greatest years in Hip Hop releases of the best albums!!

I got my degree in history, and had many teachers that were assholes, some were true enlighteners and some just hated for their own personal reasons. History is more powerful than one can ever imagine. It's not about remembering dates and times. It's about learning from those before us. Like the, phrygians, hittites, babylonians, mesopotamians, urartians, egyptians, myceneans, going back to the 5,6,th and so on centuries B.C.E. I used to tell everyone and still do that the first people were dark skinned with african ancestry. Jesus is always portrayed as white, which is a fallacy. In the end we are all one. Man has always been the downfall of our own demise. The negative man will try and bring others down, in all aspects. ( back in the day was slavery, up until the industrial revolution. Using immmigrants chinese laborerers to build the roads. Then blow them up right after to not have to pay them, feed them, oversee them. The bracero program of the 40's 50's. Followed by equality movement for allin the 60's (martin luther king)..And now we have Trump....what a transition. Lets all strive for intrinsic illumination...Together as one...Now that what transcend and have the capacity to make OUR new history.. stay great everyone...

He used several European and African history books, philosophy, etc. I know a lot of people want to try to debunk each line that he wrote, but the point where his History professor told him, "you're not supposed to learn that yet" sealed it for me. History teachers are usually teaching a romantic view of events. There are historical documents by Europeans actually writing about what they did in eradicating the Indigenous people on this side of the world. They were so bold, they weren't hiding this information. The best place to hide information is to put it in a library. Do your research people.

Part of me wishes he had stayed a bit longer to ask the teacher what he meant. "You're not supposed to know that yet?" What does that even mean?! He didn't tell him he was wrong. And he could have just left him in the dark without saying anything. I wonder if he meant that there was an order in which the information was best received that would allow him to put his new knowledge in perspective. Or something like that. The way a young pitcher can ruin his arm trying to throw sliders and curves before learning a proper fastball? Or how you need to get the mechanics of a basic lay-up down before you start trying floaters high off the glass? Maybe he was actually a good teacher trying to school Ras Kass, but being young and impetuous, he left before he got his lesson. Oh, well. What was meant to happen, happened, I guess.
@anonymouslakernerd72146 жыл бұрын
Had he stayed, the prof would've likely reminded him that the Grimaldi man was reconstructed using methods that essentially invalidated the entire dig. It's a great example of destroying data. The archaeologists actually sawed through the jaw bones, which had been crushed and deformed under the many tons of sediment covering the skeletons, then placed back together in a "best guess" type scenario. It's fiction and they were openly criticized for it. This is not how one arrives at "truth". However, if you're pushing an agenda and a narrative, it works quite well.

I'm gonna be honest & contradictory at the same time. Ras Kass is an okay rapper and SOI is just a decent rap album, but definitely nowhere near the top of the list of one of the best hip hop albums of all time...…..y'all agreed?. Now Nature of The Threat...….. is hands down THE BEST ALL TIME SONG, OF ALL SONGS WORLD WIDE in the LAST 20,000 YEARS. Ok, ok maybe I stretched it a little by saying 20,000 years, but definitely the LAST 2,000 YEARS since the death of the BLACK JESUS OF NAZARETH. Its a jewel, a historical masterpiece. Some people might say he killed it, nah, nah its more like he explained and KILLED the concept of white supremacy, so accurately. When I first heard this song back in 1996 it felt like I was holding and reading a new version of the Torah, Koran and Holy Bible; all combine in one; and the knowledge was just slapping me in the face, with the words & beat banging it all into my ear drums. I was left there just standing numb, with my jaw dropped & mouth wide open but no LONGER DUMB.

I highly doubt he was immersed in all this history and scripture at a young age. I think he read the Louis Farrakhan cliff notes
one of the most epic songs in hip hop history. period.
Ever...esp when we used to learn our History lessons from Public Enemy, KRS-One, X-Clan, Def -Jeff, and Poor Righteous Teachers....The 90's
I Agree With You 1000% He Left No Stone Unturned....Truth Proof= Facts
And very important

One of the greatest SONGS ever period!!
Ras Kass is a f*cking scholar! He had books out researching and then did his lyrics. A true god MC!
He is a MC not a rapper
One of the top 10 songs ever written. And 'Soul on Ice' is the west coast Illmatic!
oh yes!
ABSOLUTELY!!!! 💯🌟💎👑
This entire record was lyricism from another planet in 96
And Soul on Ice 2 is just as good too
@@Rebelution7 yes, it is
I just heard this song for the first time tonight. My mind is blown.
Larry Wiggs and just think that song was recorded in 1996
And look at what's going on in our government right now...kass laid out the blueprint of white fear of black and brown dominance.
DreThaOnedaTV85 yep & had that tape!
I love this joint
Now you see why there's so much mumble (c)rap???? 🐂💩🗑🐑
This is the most accurate hip hop song of all time!!!
It's funny to see when sheeple are offended & in denial, obviously. HILARIOUS! 😀😆😅😂 RAS KASS~>NATURE OF THE THREAT!!!!💯🌟💎👑🔥🎤👽👾🚀
@hostyle0 what was debunked ive found alot of this to be true im trying to find the lie ... hahahaha Cognitive dissonance!
Bagdad turkey 😂😂😂
"Nature Of The Threat" is a revolutionary joint! Ras Kass is an SEVERELY UNDERRATED EMCEE!
Ras dropped these gems before the internet blew up. And lo and behold these same topics are now main topics all over the net.
Exactly, they used to play it on Fridays on the radio between like 12 midnight to 4:00am in PHILLY! How-ever, I used to try to spread this to sheeple, yet they were to concerned with partying & being thugs that it went way over their heads! Now every-body wanna be droppin knowledge when this was the Blue-Print to complex conscious Hip'Hop after PUBLIC ENEMY & GRAND MASTER FLASH +5! WU-TANG was doing it too tho, especially KILLA PRIEST! RAS KASS is on some NEXT LEVEL GENIUS!!!! 🌟💎👑🔥🎤👽👾🚀
I remember listening to this song in high school but really to young and ignorant to comprehend the knowledge he was giving. Now older and light years wiser I can understand, digest, and agree with the message behind the song. Ras Kass SOI def one of the best albums in the history of hip-hop
incredible to hear him talk about this timeless track.
This is the Last Man Standing He is to ME THE GOAT of HIP HOP hands down 👍🏾🤲🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 in 2019
I remeber listening to this track and becoming inspired and driven to reserach the truth of the lyrics. WIth so much information I am still to this day listening to Ras Kass' Nature of the Threat and learning something. A true historian and poetic mastermind, Ras Kass for ever changed my life and my focus from a spoon feed citizan to a man with a unstoppable drive to discover the truth and in turn project a better future then the past has aloud us to envision. Thank you Ras Kass!
interview with a vampire still one of my favorite
I know, uh.....
What you know about that track?? Lol
Imma be honest that song has no validity to it at all especially when he goes into play the devil it’s no factual stuff to it only going to make some one more confused to the word of Ahayah
I was looking for this comment
What’s this?
Lyrical genius...
yeah .... nature of the threat looks really hard to write....... jeez over 10 books just matching dates, info, details, concepts, and have it make sense plus a great performance.... even Kendrick couldn't do that 0_o
I met Rass Kass back in 97' at His show, and for long time true Underground headz He's alwayz been one of the greatest lyricist ever. Also loved His collabs with Saafir x Xzibit aka (Golden State Warriors), DJ Battlecat, Western Hemisphere with Vooodu, etc.
Ras Kass realised he was being fed main-stream-education horse-shit and had his awakening, this man is way too underated....One of my favorite albums ever, cos it has all the ingredients a rap album of the 90's should have, it broke the mold, 5 years after this album, hiphop/rap changed forever, some half-decent shit here 'n' there but 96/98 is where it peaked....IMO, opinions vary....
soul on ice
the song ruined hiphop for me in that THIS is where I wanted hiphop to go, I wanted rappers to SAY something, and it took about ten more years for me to realize that to actually put knowledge into songs and spread ideas (rather agreed with or disputed) was not going happen and I just couldn't listen to commercial bullshit anymore.
Nah, it peaked in 1994-1995.
wooooooooooow...wow. .wow... love ya man,..you're writtin my thoughts down
@@androlibre9661 you;re not even remotely close..@Bull&Skones wrote just the perfect comment ever
I remember playing this in my car and my son (11/12yrs old at the time) said dad please stop it this is too much for me!
I would've done the dame thing as a parent! You gotta teach em young. Other-wise, they'll grow up to be ignoramuses, in most cases. Life is harsh & the truth hurts, that's reality!!!! 💯
I remember first hearing Nature of The Threat back in the mid 90s and this song came out and thought to myself this was the greatest song ever written because it was based on facts and he gave a historical timeline from the beginning to the end!! Some of the things I was already aware of at this time because I never believed the history I was taught in school at a young age and that was because I always investigated what I felt I wasn't being told and always asked questions but he opened a lot of people's eyes when he dropped this and ruffled a lot of people's feathers with this one because he didn't hold back the truth. They were calling him the west coast version of Nas at this time and I personally believe this song right here is why the industry kind of blackballed him from going mainstream after he released this. You would have to go with Tupac's Brenda's Gotta Baby and Nas New York State of Mind(both true poets) to find songs that's on the level of Nature of the Threat, hell even KRS One Sound of Da Police(and KRS was the teacher) which was also a classic, but none of them give you a historical timeline in a lyrical format like Ras Kass did on this song.(And that's saying something because Tupac and Nas are considered the GOATS in hip hop) This song actually dropped 2 and half weeks after Tupac died in Vegas which caught a lot of people by surprise because 96 was one of the greatest years in Hip Hop releases of the best albums!!
so I made this playlist that covers like all of American history in order its pretty tight you should check it out 1.nature of the threat- ras kass 2.praying man - big k.i.r.t 3.you can't be neutral on a moving train - Vinnie paz 4. animal in man - dead prez (about animal farm which is about the soviot union) 5. uncommon valor- Jedi mind ticks and r.a. the rugged man 6.writings on disobedience and democracy- Vinnie paz 7.reagn- killer mike 8.4th branch immortal techniqe 9.mourning in america- brother Ali 10.50 thosand deep - blue scholars 11. burn- killer mike 12.i can't breath- crooked I 13.a report to the shareholder/kill your masters- run the jewels 14.the story of o.j. - jay z 15. aries- flatbush zombies
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
Yo you're a dope dude. Yo can you make this into a playlist as in conscious rap so I can save it to my youtube?
Thankyou
give thanks for di inspiration! i did it right now -check : "black american history jimixed" one love
This song why he is one of my top 5 MC's under rated genius
wow I always wondered the process of how that song came together, and clicking on this I'm thinking eh maybe it was probably more random than I'm imagining but then that story is actually deeper than I thought. I love this song it's dangerous, and I was a young black Christian boy when I first heard this song and I knew I couldn't erase the shit he was talking about out of my brain and life has never been the same.
As a white person i remember listening to this song in high school and not really understanding the lyrics because i didn't know anything about afrocentrism, nation of islam, black hebrew israelites and shit like that. I came upon the song by accident while being somewhat of a hiphop fan. The song actually inspired me to learn about history, religion and shit. i remember checking out books at the high school library because of it
This particular cut does open up your mind and makes you want to find out things for yourself. That's great that you came to that conclusion and that it inspired you to want to learn more. I feel old as hell, because I was in college when that album came out...lml
Then you found out that Ras Kass is full of shit and that he is just as big a racist bitch as anybody he laments and puts down. He's a moron, and anybody who shares his views is as well.
Springfeeeel Truth hurts when you hear your true his story. Reesis pieces.
MoorSirius7 LOL actually BLACK FOLKS are the ones who are Rhesis POSITIVE not white folks...See just how miseducated u really are "Rh-NEGATIVE genes are FREQUENT in EUROPE, but INFREQUENT in AFRICA" "In the United States, about 15 percent of the WHITE population, 5 to 8 percent of the African-American populations are Rh-NEGATIVE (American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists [ACOG], 2006; Moise, 2009)."
Very ~> Educational!!!! 💯👌✊✌
This one song got me into questioning everything I thought I knew since I was a child.... I appreciate this rass
wish he still made songs this deep
I remember being very impressed first hearing this. SOI one of the best albums for me. Oh Ima whitie xD
Love this song to this day! This song was a real eye opener for me. It keeps me awake and sober in a world full of evil/deception!
A mind blowing track . I was 19 in 1996 when i first heard it here in Switzerland Europe
One of the most introspective songs of all time. And this explanation is even crazier, wow!
I play this song for people today because this information is still needed today and is a great learning tool Big ups to you Pass Kass for the Truth
True information true knowledge! Thanks for been 100 whit us in your self! PEACE
yo rass kass thank u.these wacky ass rapper are leading the flock straight to doomville.thanku my man your lyrics are a gift and what u say is real.your are the man 4eva dude
You been G to me since 96! Thank you!
I remember playing this song in a house full of weed high thug cats. They had me play it a million times.
I have been admired Ras Kass.
Amazing interview !
A lyrical classic,a masterpiece of knowledge,on par with K Rino's Hidden Agenda and Grand Deception. It taught me alot in my youth and I appreciate your breakdown.goin to bump Nature of the Treat now.!!.
I recited these lyrics back in high school in English class in front of all those white kids and a teacher who had his jaw on the floor the whole time. He always avoided eye contact with me after that.
😂😂😂
classic. I recited Immortal Technique "the Fourth Branch" for a speech class full of white students during the Bush era. Damn near got a standing ovation though, lol
When I first moved to cali back in 96 my homie from LA put me on to Ras been a fan since he showed east coast cats like me how the West coast smash kids 🔥 💯
yall need to go hop on soul on ice 2 ... released a month ago , amazing album once again
Excellent interview! I'm writing a story (review) about this song, which is now 20 years old. It's a classic and I've included this video in our story. Please let me know if that's ok. Thanks in advance for capturing this!
Authority Hop great luck nd hope ur fortunately blessed with what you write fam...do ya thing.. from a fellow writer
I would love to see it
Greatest/best song ever written. PERIOD. Don't limit it to a music genre.
THEE MOST INTELLECTUAL SONG IN HIP HOP HISTORY!
thank y'all ,who affirmed ,that Soul on ice is the greatest album..I AM SOOOOOOOO PLEASED that there are awakened ppl ...spread the word,..mostly - spread that joint... ,..black or white doesn't matter, we;re all people , SPREAD the word..this track teaches you a 100 times more than a history teacher would ever do
One of the most potent hip hop songs ever written, even where he was wrong. This sent you to grab some books ! Real Quick.
How many of y'all still celebrated Thankgiving Day after listening to that track?
@Righteous Shadows Dojo The Thanksgiving bit might be the least founded part of the entire track. The fact that a historical even happened on the same day as another historical event/yearly celebration is correlation and it isnt causal at all. There is not historical record of Pope Innocent VIII declaring a yearly holiday Thanksgiving in 1491. If you can find any references to prove me wrong I would love to hear them and change my mind.
@Righteous Shadows Dojo Haha yeah if you're ignorant and aren't willing to discuss anything you're exactly right.
Ras Kass is DOPE!
my favorite song growing up! i was on some fuck the world shit !!
Changed my life
Me too
Thank You.
I got my degree in history, and had many teachers that were assholes, some were true enlighteners and some just hated for their own personal reasons. History is more powerful than one can ever imagine. It's not about remembering dates and times. It's about learning from those before us. Like the, phrygians, hittites, babylonians, mesopotamians, urartians, egyptians, myceneans, going back to the 5,6,th and so on centuries B.C.E. I used to tell everyone and still do that the first people were dark skinned with african ancestry. Jesus is always portrayed as white, which is a fallacy. In the end we are all one. Man has always been the downfall of our own demise. The negative man will try and bring others down, in all aspects. ( back in the day was slavery, up until the industrial revolution. Using immmigrants chinese laborerers to build the roads. Then blow them up right after to not have to pay them, feed them, oversee them. The bracero program of the 40's 50's. Followed by equality movement for allin the 60's (martin luther king)..And now we have Trump....what a transition. Lets all strive for intrinsic illumination...Together as one...Now that what transcend and have the capacity to make OUR new history.. stay great everyone...
Genius!
RAS KASS CAME RIGHT
Brilliant.
Powerful.
Ras Kass collaborated with Dr. Dre, & Mack 10 "Ghetto Fabulous".
Hated that song
@@mikerich3378 Well that's too bad, I like that song.
A beautiful song that I played in front of people and made them ask who rap this.
Pure genius
Yeaahhh!!!!
Real hiphop
4:50 Enter the Shriner. Wight boy would've lost his head if Ras Kass let that class know what was up. To protect that masonic secret (not really secret), he had to shut him down in front of everybody. I think the ritual is "Honor my Father We will hold our Father down".. something to that extent.
What does that mean
Ras Kass is my fellow rapper.
Ras Kass ....Real - Emcee Knowledge.
3:35 is where he described his methodology. He used several European and African history books, philosophy, etc. I know a lot of people want to try to debunk each line that he wrote, but the point where his History professor told him, "you're not supposed to learn that yet" sealed it for me. History teachers are usually teaching a romantic view of events. There are historical documents by Europeans actually writing about what they did in eradicating the Indigenous people on this side of the world. They were so bold, they weren't hiding this information. The best place to hide information is to put it in a library. Do your research people.
Esau and his nation was treacherous all over the earth ... Yahawah and Yahawashi will make them pay!
rassssskassssss!
Realest song ever but I believe the first race haters were blacks and don't start pulling shots at me because I'm black if Albinism was a sin to the original man then ask yourself why they travelled to the north of the Equator it's because they were treated bad and in most places in Africa they still treat Albinism as sin
You do have a very valid point-@-Ed Koku.
We the first every thing
Dope
@4:02 That's genius @5:54 The professor was a gatekeeper
Sure, that's the narrative here. . . that he's somehow being denied entrance or being lied to, but look into the Grimaldi man. It's more art(subjective) than science(objective) and that is why it was discredited. The archaeologists who worked on that project(many many years ago) were rounded criticized for their work and how they recreated the skulls. There's a very good reason for that. If people require these lengths, simply to prove "their truth", then it's a fair bet that it's false.
dope
This track was swept under the rug, At least on the east coast. Im just hearing this.
4:48 Does anyone know what Ras is talking about here? Kinda wanna research it just cause his teacher said he wasn't supposed to know about it yet.
Thanks fam

Still my fave Kass song to this day funniest part is my homies use to hate cause I couldn't get enough of that shit back in the day had that shit on repeat miss the Golden era....
Yoooooooooooo I remember mentioning the Gremaldy people in college and the the professor said "no. Never heard of them..." I was shocked because were learning about the evolution of man and he was old as hell teaching for years.... like what? I felt stupid in front of everyone.
To this day.
They still cheatin wit gloves on
I thought he was going to say it took him a week or 2 to write this song not a few hours!
I had a moment like this in high school with my jewish teacher about the history of hebrew Israelites. He shut me down the whole time... Made me seem crazy.. Then waited for every child to leave the class before telling me i was right... Smh got me really angry
I SELF LORD AND MASTER

J Lawless B1 fam
DOPE IM LOOKING FOR THE LYRICS ALONE
Was thinking the same, thing@question3030
Fuckin genius
Part of me wishes he had stayed a bit longer to ask the teacher what he meant. "You're not supposed to know that yet?" What does that even mean?! He didn't tell him he was wrong. And he could have just left him in the dark without saying anything. I wonder if he meant that there was an order in which the information was best received that would allow him to put his new knowledge in perspective. Or something like that. The way a young pitcher can ruin his arm trying to throw sliders and curves before learning a proper fastball? Or how you need to get the mechanics of a basic lay-up down before you start trying floaters high off the glass? Maybe he was actually a good teacher trying to school Ras Kass, but being young and impetuous, he left before he got his lesson. Oh, well. What was meant to happen, happened, I guess.
Had he stayed, the prof would've likely reminded him that the Grimaldi man was reconstructed using methods that essentially invalidated the entire dig. It's a great example of destroying data. The archaeologists actually sawed through the jaw bones, which had been crushed and deformed under the many tons of sediment covering the skeletons, then placed back together in a "best guess" type scenario. It's fiction and they were openly criticized for it. This is not how one arrives at "truth". However, if you're pushing an agenda and a narrative, it works quite well.
RASS KASS
Classical education versus industrial education
West west baby
I'm gonna be honest & contradictory at the same time. Ras Kass is an okay rapper and SOI is just a decent rap album, but definitely nowhere near the top of the list of one of the best hip hop albums of all time...…..y'all agreed?. Now Nature of The Threat...….. is hands down THE BEST ALL TIME SONG, OF ALL SONGS WORLD WIDE in the LAST 20,000 YEARS. Ok, ok maybe I stretched it a little by saying 20,000 years, but definitely the LAST 2,000 YEARS since the death of the BLACK JESUS OF NAZARETH. Its a jewel, a historical masterpiece. Some people might say he killed it, nah, nah its more like he explained and KILLED the concept of white supremacy, so accurately. When I first heard this song back in 1996 it felt like I was holding and reading a new version of the Torah, Koran and Holy Bible; all combine in one; and the knowledge was just slapping me in the face, with the words & beat banging it all into my ear drums. I was left there just standing numb, with my jaw dropped & mouth wide open but no LONGER DUMB.
NATIVE SUN idiot
WHO IS HERE AFTER THE PASSING OF GEORGE FLOYD...... RIP
I can tell Mr. Neely Fuller Jr book The United Independent Compensatory Code System Concept textbook workbook for victims of White Supremacy ( Racism) was one of those books he was reading or looked at because of the quote " In the areas of human activities economics education entertainment labor law politics religion sex and war" What blow my mind was what his teacher told him about " The Germodi Man..."You were not supposed to know that yet" 😕🤔
if you're not supposed to to know that - then neither are we - i know there's people like me who can remember the first time they heard Nature of the Threat -
Ras Ive got to know were you ever with the Israellites?
how are europeans the first race haters if albinism was a sin to the original man?
Jay Pharoah That's why I don't agree with generalizing a whole race. The devil is everywhere!
agreed, every race has their devious, greedy people, who make life worse for others. I'm mixed so I've seen racism from all angles and I'll tell you, its the sign of a lesser person.
Jay Pharoah You have to know that race is a social construct. The melininate people used their DNA mixed with other animals to mold the various cultures that we see today. This was called the Great Words. Genetic Engineering. Albinonism was strange to the original man because all humans were various shades of brown. They know that if a child come through the woman's womb without any melinin...the vibration of that soul was off. They thought... out of natural order...not different race.
One of the hardest songs. Historically I only think it’s mistaken by assuming Arabs are not Caucasian
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏 cold had fact but ain't no God
John 10:34, there it is. Psalms 82:6, there it is. Need God's color and hair texture? Revelations 1:14-15. There it is.
WRONG !!!..You're Not suppose to know that yet...."Says the System"
No. It's fine to know truth, but he'd got it wrong and was being called out on it. Grimaldi man is rightly criticized because it is more art than science. Art is subjective, not objective. This is the case of a kid with a little bit of knowledge getting called out by someone in authority.
No matter if he "views" have changes some people still think that track is an accurate blueprint leading up to today....👍👍👍..it was too factual not to be true
It's as true as 3rd Reich propaganda, this is what makes it compelling to people who view their group as being victimized by an oppressor.
