Video: RA The Rugged Man Returns To Earth?

After viewing this new promo vid with Suffolk County's finest, I simply gotta applaud Mr. Thorburn's sentiments...loudly too......It's so puzzling to me however, that someone like himself, who seems to "get it" concerning the rap game and the puppeteering job that huge corporations are playing in it, could be so lost during the last election season.

That's right Rugged Man, even though you've dropped some opinions I definitely can co-sign here, I haven't forgotten some of the ish' you was kickin last October, supporting John McCain and that righteous piece of trash Sarah Palin and labeling Obama as just some slick "used car salesmen". If ya'll need a refresher on what I'm speaking on check this out:

So yeah, uhhh, even though he's hittin' us with some real talk now, anyone that peeped his stances out last year surely has to ponder what's gotten into him. I mean, he's actually making sense here! Sorry, I know I'm piling on but facts are facts; he fucked up big time, especially by his long-time fans who heralded him as a true people's champ when he started supporting those two space cadets. I can be fair though, there is no question that he's talented and everyone has a right to his or her own opinion, but when you fly out the window and start going against the grain that helped you become what you are, flags is gonna get thrown homie.

So, as we all examine the Rugged one dishing real and applaudable insight via youtube a month before he needs us to go out and support his new "best of" LP on Nature Sounds, we must take his words with a huge grain of salt. Unfortunately, because of his past views, even this level headed and frankly dead on testimonial only forebodes the impending dread that we'll all feel when in roughly 2 more years he'll inevitably be tempted to once again be the lone golden age Hip-hop voice bigging up the country's most un-impressive and un-qualified politician when she converges on her 2012 presidential campaign.

There's little chance you will, but keep on coming toward the light RA....
