R.A. the Rugged Man is known for his wild antics, and fans are reminded of it in the opening scenes of his new video for "Bang Boogie":

"I used to wake up with different women every day, two or three at the same time sometimes, all over the planet for 20 years straight. A total degenerate," R.A. told Complex via email. "I used to lose my temper in public, start fights, destroy venues, destroy restaurants and labels. I used to have no control."

But what quickly takes center stage after is his relationship with his adorable 4-month-old daughter. "She becomes more precious than anything you can imagine," he said. "You just want her to be healthy and happy and you want to make sure your family is good and make sure you're there to take care of them and not out getting in trouble."

Don't get it twisted: Even in fatherhood, R.A. is still as ruthless with the rhymes.

But the realization of living for someone other than himself has benefited R.A. the Rugged Man in the long run. "That becomes priority over everything," he continued. "I think it happened at the right time in my life. I'm able to relax myself and put on the daddy hat and be a good dad and control myself in a way I wasn't able to do 20 years ago, or even five years ago. "

Happy Father's Day to R.A. the Rugged Man. Check out the video for "Bang Boogie" above featuring cameos from Method Man, Tech N9ne, and Havoc, and pick up his latest album Legends Never Die on iTunes.
