R.A. the Rugged Man - Definition Of A Rap Flow ft. Amalie Bruun

Legendary rapper R.A. The Rugged Man is back in the director's chair for the rambunctious and hysterical new video "Definition Of A Rap Flow", off his latest album Legends Never Die. Among the Rugged Man's most infectious videos to date, "Definition Of A Rap Flow" features cameos from a host of hip-hop luminaries, from legends like Grandmaster Caz, Sadat X, Chill Rob G, Dinco D, and the Beatnuts to new-school talent like Chris Webby. Combining the style and essence of hip-hop's Golden Era with technically flawless new-school lyricism, "Definition Of A Rap Flow" is yet another reminder of the Rugged Man's undeniable place in the pantheon of all-time great emcees.

RA just sent me this on Facebook. killed it.

For any of my fans/followers that enjoy hearing someone spit tricky flows over a beat, you definitely wanna hear this. Excellent, masterful rhyming.

[Ryda]

Seeing him do this live 10 feet in front of you is amazing

[SRMR]

R.A. slowly becoming one of the better music video directors in rap

[HipHopHistoryGuy]

For an underground hip hop artist, it doesn't get much better than this track and video. Still banging this sh*t 9 years later. The 80s references, the tribute to Guru, the insane amount of cameos including Sadat X, Dinco D, J-Zone, etc. - it's just FANTASTIC.

[LucidSoundz]

nice fun song, definitely refreshing from everything else, something different

[Asushlo]

I don't get people hating on this hook.

Is it stupid? Yeah, it's supposed to be light and poppy because this song is supposed to be fun. Dark songs have their place, but you don't need to write "Dance With The Devil" to be a good artist.

Plus, it fit the 80s theme perfectly.

R.A The Rugged Man....One of the realist in the game. Much respect!!

[LUSCIOUSDUNCAN]

that throwback to the oldies grants it a thousand thumbs up immediately

[alberteinstein]

Sickest flow in the rap game, and he is underrated, i notice a correlation.

[Tarantino]

R.A. The Rugged man is the realest artist in music. Very few people can live a life like his and come out the other side so humble with true love and respect for the real people no matter how big, or small; young, or old; near, far. I am always seeing him post how amazing it feels for other artists to be spreading his videos and music through social media. You get back what you put out and I think its only the beginning. It surprises me more people don't know who R.A. is because ever since I heard of him I tell anyone that I can about him. He is one, if not, THE best emcee in mind, body and soul that helps bring attention and remind us where the music came from and why its important that we don't forget that. One of the few who can lead by example and does what he says, R.A. deserves all he has coming to him and more. He is definitely an inspiration. What this new video shows us about him as an artist and the embodiment of hip hop really is all that needs to be said. Just check how much this single album has done to other artists as far as giving them a rude awakening and leaving them awe-struck.

[mattpotts]

[michaelknudson]

When it comes to flow no one tops Period

[bilalha]

His flow is unreal, on the same level as biggie, g rap or pun.

[constantinepanagiotatos]

I interned at mass appeal mag when RA had his bi monthly column there; listened to him since the first sound bombing record and this video, the way its done, the song, just makes me smile.

[swisha]

EPIC

[leepsisntdead]

Video of the year, I don't care what drops in the next six months.

Definition of a Rap Flow > Rap God. And I'm not even hating on Rap God, just telling it like it is.
