_________________________
Rass Kass opened up to VladTV about his first album, Soul on Ice, and the standout track, "Nature of the Threat." The track stirred up a lot of controversy due to the lyrics about the white race, which Ras Kass said were facts that he studied before making the song.
During the conversation, Ras Kass spits lines from the song and admitted that he wasn't trying to be kind with his delivery. To hear more, including why he thinks the song still applies today, hit the above clip.

    • Well I think that some blacks are against black greatness. They are the sluggard and the backwards. They are synthetic people who do not want to be forced out of their comfort zones and they actively fight and oppress those who free minds. Trust, it may be other groups who also work to hinder natural black excellence but first and foremost it's the same haters of Hon. Prophet Marcus Garvey who makes sure that the masses don't realize great potential. In my observation, other races dream of an upwardly accelerated black reality more than most blacks... love Ras Kass. A great teacher.

Me and a friend of mine ironically skipped school to go to the record store and do some shopping. We were excited about the album, because he was considered one of the best of the west. And we were all the way in Detroit lol. We literally stopped at that song and played it all day...didn't hear the rest of the album for about a week.

None of these new school cats would even have the intellect to conceptualize a song like this. It's food for thought, & the best part is that it makes MC's who can't rap look really Bad.

  • Since I keep getting Rass Kass videos in my recommended list... I love people thinking independently and doing their own research, but it's not easy. And knowing a bit more than others doesn't necessarily make you right. First there are tons of internal contradictions. -1:13: Puts blue eyes at 'roughly 30,000 years ago' 2:41 "Blue eyes is only 10,000 years old." -1:15 'Albinism apparently was a sin to the original man' vs '...called Europeans later, the first race haters, so there's the devil's alpha to the beta.' This doesn't make sense. If albinism was considered a sin and Africans forced the 'mutants' north, then that's the origin of skin-based discrimination right there. In any case, I wouldn't look for the origins that far back in time. - Then there's a ton of things that are just wrong -3:55: Schopenhauer died in 1860, 72 years before the Nazis came to power. He wasn't fearful of getting his head chopped off by the Nazis. -8:52: Democracy doesn't mean 'mob rule', it means 'rule of the people. There's a word for mob rule, it's ochlocracy. No one uses it because there are almost no cases of actual mob rule. In the song itself, the main misrepresentation is when he says 'but western civilization means white domination in the context of ancient Greece. I've read some of the early historians cover to cover. What stands out is how much respect the ancient Greeks had for other cultures. Many of them actually lived in Ionia, present-day Turkey. Herodotus spoke highly of Persians, Egyptians, and Ethiopians alike. This is an actual quote from Herodotus: "Where the south declines towards the setting sun lies the country called Ethiopia, the last inhabited land in that direction. There gold is obtained in great plenty, huge elephants abound, with wild trees of all sorts, and ebony; and the men are taller, handsome, and longer-lived than anywhere else". He talks about the 'table of the sun' in Ethiopia, where all men can feast upon the fruits of the land during the day. He was equally fascinated by Egypt and found that Egyptians and Ethiopians largely worshiped the same gods as the Greeks, be it under different names. Another internal contradiction is when Rass Kass says 'Imhotep was worshiped in Greece and Rome as a black African'. This is probably right, but inconsistent with the narrative of race hate being an inherent attribute of western culture. Further nuance-adding examples: Xenophon fought in service of Cyrus the Younger. Thucydides greatly respected all civilizations and described them with equal temper. Alcibiades served Athens, Sparta and Persia alike. Alexander the Great adopted Persian and Egyptian customs and religions to the extent that he faced a revolt from his own generals. One of his generals founded the Ptolemaic kingdom in Egypt which was generally diverse and cosmopolitan. The Punic wars did not originate from any race-based theory, but a game-theoretical trap in which an established power has to deal with the rise of an upcoming power and finds that if war is inevitable, it's better to have it sooner while the upcoming power is still developing. It's a struggle that was going on for centuries, even Cambyses II had plans to invade Carthage, invaded Egypt en went as far as Ethiopia 300 years earlier. The battle was for political and economical control of the Mediterranean, and the delineations were chiefly determined by power and economic interests. A few hundred years after the destruction of Carthage, the Libian-born Septimius Severus became Roman emperor from 193-211. Other ideas in the song... that the Greeks 'stole' philosophy from the first man (the Egyptians or Kemet) are just ridiculous. You can't steal love of knowledge, you appreciate it, learn it and build on it. If another culture has knowledge about astronomy or medicine, of course you should learn what they know and improve on it. The homophobic stuff that follows I'll leave for what it is now (I shouldn't). The idea that the sack of Carthage was the first genocide in history is also off. The Trojans and numerous other city-states got sacked centuries before Rome sacked Carthage and their populations suffered similar fates. Then he claims Pontius Pilate killed Jesus, while he was first trialed by the Sanhedrin, and Pilate is claimed to have said "I find no guilt in him.", yet washed his hands, respected and executed the verdict. I think it's commonly accepted that if it was up to Pilate alone, Jesus would not have been crucified. The idea that eating turkey on Thanksgiving celebrates the fall of Granada in Spain is ridiculous. Turkeys are indigenous to North America, and the naming of the bird is a misunderstanding of its origin when first imported in England. The claim that 'AIDS is man-made' is also a worn-out conspiracy theory. And it goes on and on. The real ugliness in my opinion starts much later than antiquity or the middle ages, with the colonial slave trade and the attempt to intellectually justify this oppression, all the way through pseudoscientific race theories in the mid-19th century. Infamous benighted *ssholes like De Gobineau and Vacher Delapouge, who get no mention. So no, 'Nature of the Threat' is not 'deep' or 'genius'... it's a good attempt at explaining why were are where we are today in terms of race relationships, but it makes a lot of Hegelian mistakes, meaning connecting dots to come up with a clear and seemingly insightful historical narrative where there should be tons of nuance instead. And in doing so, it comes away with the wrong message. But yes, I still like Rass Kass-ciano better than that sh*t they make today. At least he makes you think.
