SEAN PRICE RAP CLINIC PART 2 FEAT. R.A. THE RUGGED MAN [VIDEO]
R.A. The Rugged Man was indirectly, directly responsible for why Sean Price was forced to start a rap clinic. R.A. leaped from a stage at a show Sean was attending; landing on him and damaging his vocal chords. Forced to stop rapping, Sean turned to a new source of income, as the owner and teacher of a rap clinic.
With Sean’s tragic death last year, students of the clinic were sad to lose their mentor. Several of the students had pre-paid credits for the class. To prevent refunds, R.A. The Rugged Man felt it was only right to step up and honor the legacy of Sean Price by assuming the new role of teacher for the clinic.
Although he claimed to take a more professional and patient approach to the teachings…things didn’t unfold that way during his lessons. The only bright spot of the day seemed to come from his star pupil, A.F.R.O. Watch the drama unfold in Rap Clinic Part 2!
