Help A Blogger Out: Won't Catch Me Runnin'

A couple of weeks ago, our brother from SteadyBloggin', Magneto, informed the T.R.O.Y. forum of a different Ras Kass

verse that isn't on any of the Won't Catch Me Runnin versions that we can find. Philaflava contacted the man himself

about this rumored verse. Ras Kass confirmed that there is a version with this verse in existence. But he did not tell

us what it is on or where to find it. Rumors on the T.R.O.Y. forum are stating that there was a Soul On Ice EP. Not

the demo, or the sampler, but another EP.

So, can anybody out there help us to uncover this gem piece?

Here's the verse-

Stop your flow like it's menopause, the men all pause

Cramp your style like PMS

Suckers checking for lumps in they chest

like breast cancer

My stanza gets censorship from Reverend Calvin Butts

but he could suck my diction, dictation is ridiculous

indicative of dictatorship

Today's four letter words were standard English until 1066

and ignorance is bliss

So, as I sag my Ralph Lauren Chaps

walking into lyrical scraps

I'm knocking niggas off the map

See more stars than astronomy

Not near one can follow me

Thoughts premeditated like two Melendez brothers

That's word to the father and the mother

Again, rumor is that this verse is on the Soul On Ice EP. Not the demo or the sampler.

I've never heard of said EP, but Ras confirmed the existense of the verse, so I'm sure it's possible that this EP exists.

To tide us over until this is solved, hungryOne threw together all the different versions that have surfaced thus far:

Won't Catch Me Runnin - 6 versions

Demo Version

Main Version

Main Version Instrumental

Moet Mix

On The Run Version

Ras Kass - Non-Album Tracks (1994-1996)

Ras Kass is easily one of my favorite MCs of all time, but I'm mostly just a fan of his mid-90s discography. Fortunately, he recorded quite a few tracks in between the years of 1994 and 1996, and he also blessed several radio shows with ill pre-written freestyles. Three volumes worth of non-album tracks is no small feat - that's more than Organized Konfusion had in between the years of 1989 and 1998.

I have also included a "Soul On Ice" instrumental companion as a bonus. Enjoy, and hit us up in the comments section if you have anything that isn't included here. There's an alternate version of "Won't Catch Me Runnin" that I was hoping would surface before the completion of this post, but nobody seems to have it.

Touring The States: Philadelphia, PA

Our regular forum poster soopacee, from Pottsville PA, was always blessing us with his tape rips, Philly artists. Amongst all of his rips, I chose to blog this one. I don't know nothing about Sun Risers. The meaning behind their names, their other releases, and any other facts remain shrouded in mystery. But all of that actually doesn't matter, because this album will never collect dust. Expect to play it weekly. Am I right?

Wu-Tang Clan “Dirty & Stinkin’ (Bootleg Vinyl)”

And by Wu-Tang Clan I really mean the one and only... Ol' Dirty Bastard. This was by far one of my favorite non-album tracks that ever surfaced. This bootleg vinyl was another one of my prized scores from the mid to late 90's while I scoured all over Chicago buying just about anything Wu-Tang I could get my hands on (I think I'm still paying off my credit card bills).

DOWNLOAD

So that was the good and now comes the bad and the ugly. In 2001 there was a promo cd single that surfaced containing some horrible whack ass Main Mix and a Remix for "Dirty & Stinkin'." This time around they threw in Method Man to try and save things. Complete failure. Almost as bad, in the same year there was Phil Collins cover album called Urban Renewal. Ol' Dirty's contributions was "Sussudio." Even DJ Clark Kent had his hand in it and they totally killed it, in a very bad way. If you care to hear how people ruined such a great track, grab it below.

History of Hip-Hop: 90's

Thanks to the T.R.O.Y. forum somebody laced me with a link that is now bookmarked for life. The Rub is a weekly radio show done on Brooklyn Radio that consists of the talented DJ Cosmo, DJ Eleven and DJ Ayres. I can't stress how dope their mixes are. No worries about self-indulgent drops or hacky blends, these cats put in work. All their mixes are well thought-out with the perfection execution and quality selections.

I highly recommend you check out their website because they have mixes for days, but below are some of the ones I thought I should bring to your attention. These are one large MP3s files but I would suggest you put these on your iPOD or burn a MP3 disc because there are countless hours of dope shit to reminisce to. --Philaflava
