why did my life has to be this way 2
Following on with a track that samples the last post with a strange and relatively unknown yet highly respected Mc.
An artist Biggie was once quoted as saying ‘I thought I was the illest’ in reference to R.A the Rugged Man, praise in New York wouldnt have come much higher than that. RA has gone on to record with pretty much every big name in New York including a beautiful duet with biggie ‘C*nt Renaissance’.
Definitely one of the most unique Mc’s in the game his career didnt quite take off as it should due to the usual label troubles and a not too marketable style which is a bit too shocking and explicit at times for the masses., and hes never been shy about detailing his not too pleasant life and mental state.
This track ‘Smithaven Mall’ was quietly released in ’96 and tells a tale which I dont think holds too much truth although you wouldnt put it past him.

Absolute BANGER !!!! i started writting a rugged man post recently…..too many tracks to choose from…. great choice!!! gonna listen to this over and over today!!
i tried to rule the world but i blew it, wishing i was dead but dont got the guts to do it!
CLASSIC!
