A MC who needs no introduction, R.A The Rugged Man is as controversial as he is influential.
Hailing from New York, he combines the authenticity of his undeniably rugged life with his undisputed mic skills and understanding of the genre as a hip hop historian. Headed to Australia next week, R.A is also a historian of film. “In my opinion the 1990s is my least favourite in film history. Especially horror movies, they were the absolute worst in the '90s. I am the biggest nerd when it comes to films, so here are my top five movies that are better than today’s.”
'if....' (1968) - Lindsay Anderson
Kids being violent at a British school? What couldn’t be good about it?{youtube}Z9JL8Dae_yQ{/youtube}
'The Maltese Falcon' (1941) - John Huston
Everyday we get tricked by a woman and to then be enticed by something else. They just don’t make them like this anymore.{youtube}phUxnXGhEiI{/youtube}
'Repulsion' (1965) - Roman Polanski
I mean, I am sure all women have a fear of men; this movie proves that sometimes women can go mad from it.{youtube}iO0niGPR5S4{/youtube}
'Possession' (1981) - Andrzej Zulawski
A movie full of twists and turns, especially one who hires a private investigator! Secrets unveil and the suspense continues.{youtube}CTB15PPtMyA{/youtube}
'Razorback' (1984) – Russell Mulcahy
I grew up on 'Razorback'. A good, ole Aussie classic, something that encourages my fear of the outback Australia.{youtube}f-WKSnSagMg{/youtube}
