CASSIDY broke it down like a scientist. Props to him

[@TheRealLeonardWashington]

Cass broke it down perfectly. Battle rap is like street ball. You can get away with double dribbles, carries and travels because it’s all about displaying haymaker punches mixed with visual performance and gimmicks. You can’t do any of that on a beat. Rapping on a beat is the NBA of rapping

Not true, each new generation is born out of the previous indoctrination of the last generation! So if you don’t teach your creation but allow outside sources to teach it (school, tv, etc) then you get what you or other entities put out for the child to absorb.

That was back then - truth is battlerap then was like amateur boxing and making music and being an industry rapper was the professional ranks. Battlerap has developed now to a point where it's far more complicated and is a profession of its own. Mastering both now is pretty much impossible.

Big ups to Cassidy one of my favorite rappers 💯

[@shabazz120]

Very intelligent dialogue. You can tell Cassidy is passionate and a true student and teacher of his art and craft. Respect to Cassidy and Lord Jamar.

Cass spitting facts again no other rapper did battles went industry then went back to battle and killed it all

[@rarerock5020]

cassidy said he wasn't at his best because he felt disrespected. but before the battles he said that these are the best bars that we ever heard. make up your mind cas...

[@rarerock5020]

@Animal Instinct I'll come back here after the hitman battle and after we hear more excuses. we'll see what you have to say then...

[@myartmyrules]

Fam do you see the set up an momentum. He is using industry shit in battle rap. It’s a formula First they love you, then they hate you then they love you again. Y’all need to stop with the emotion and look at the master work. He took y’all King like KillMonger did and expose him. Look how he got the best performer all crazy in a face off. Cassidy a different dude. He about to 3-0 Hitman it’s not going to be close. His style will be faster and more acres since and deliberate. This is fact. It’s a easy dub for Cassidy. He figured out what he need to do, and he’s shifting the conversation Genius

@@myartmyrules let me tell you something my friend. the male battle rapper's are all overrated and inconsistent. I've always liked qb, jaz, and couture. i wanted cass to win all his battles. i was hyped ass hell when he first came back. but i keep it real. the male battle rapper's make excuses all the time and cassidy is no different. they get away with it because the fans are gullible. you said it's the love then hate. no one ever hated cassidy in the industry so why even do that? like i told the other dude, I'll be back after the battle to see what you both have to say...

[@myartmyrules]

@@rarerock5020 you don’t understand business and marketing. Why is there so much energy? Cass strategically did this, he’s out to prove a point and this will be intentional. All that applies to battle rappers before Cassidy in this battle Vs Hitman. He clearly and consciously says it. See you after the battle

[@rarerock5020]

@@myartmyrules any famous rapper that comes to battle rap will have that energy. Eminem, 50cent, drake, the list goes on and on.

[@box5bastard277]

Most battle rappers are (Ed and Charles) O'Bannon's! Good in college (battles) but not so ill in the pros (songs) "O'Bannon's are free style MC's who make bad CD's" yell

[@shauncameron8390]

LMAO.

[@eddiev5510]

Crazy thing is tsu surf is a beast with the mixtape albums

[@MalaYLoca]

Never heard a break down of the art of lyricism like he just described......this is why he’s undefeated in my book , there’s a science & formula to this whole rap shit🤷🏽‍♀️

[@TheProverbialHater]

Funny thing is Cass act like he's dropping classic albums... He's like a Nas diss track away from being considered only a battle rapper. I f-cks with him, but he need to calm it down.

[@MrVIP1993]

To be fair to Cassidy, he has hit songs and has been successful in the industry. It’s been done so nobody can take that away from him.

[@kcei7atutube]

Can you please explain that Nas analogy. I just wanted to make sure I understood it.

[@TheProverbialHater]

@@MrVIP1993 Hustler and Hotel... Name the rest of the "hits".... Let's not play crazy and d-ckride like he was killing the industry here. You and him act like Cass is way above battle rap.

[@TheProverbialHater]

@@kcei7atutube If Nas dissed him right now, the same thing he saying about battle rappers would directly apply to him... If Cassidy is in the NBA, he'll be in the G-League and Nas would be in the NBA a NBA all-star... Cass is one bad game away from Street ball..

[@kcei7atutube]

@@TheProverbialHater Thanks. I was burning some herbals. I just had to make sure it didn’t cloud my judgement.

[@GlueRecords]

Lmao, Jamar had to go back to the original question after 20 minutes..cass always gives lectures as answers..

[@mackwitdavortexx]

Cass been a genius since a young age
