I always thought cass is still nice with the bars. The problem is he's "outdated" so to speak.
However outdated cass bar for bar is still better then goodz bar for bar. Everyone thinks goodz is gonna angle cass to death. Combine that with the fans 100% being ready to boo for the first outdated bar cass spits and it's gonna be a tough climb for cass that night.
Goodz is visual proof that "bars aren't everything" in battle rap. We seen many times where the more lyrical dude loses clear. Swave vs YK is the first to pop up in my mind.
I understand that want to hype the battle in a boxing type of way, but I would of preferred just dropping the face off straight through, without all the interruptions.
