Ras Kass & Apollo Brown On “Blasphemy”, Friendly Competition & More [Video]

“The reason why the album’s called ‘Blasphemy’ is because iTunes told us that the original title was never going to happen,” Ras says matter-of-factly. “The original title—I called him once we had a general idea about the record—I was turnt up and said, ‘Yo, the album is called ‘How To Kill God’ and he was like ‘Huh?’ and I said ‘Let me explain.’ We were rolling with that name and lots of distribution channels were like ‘F*ck that.’ But the first song on the album is still ‘How To Kill God.’ Once you listen to the record it’s not like I want to kill your god. It’s saying we’re all made in God’s image—the planet. Every time we pollute or hate someone because of their race or religion, that’s killing God. Everything you do foul is killing God.”
