So you don’t remember shyt like

When I see your car in traffic ima jack it like Burlington

It’s cassidy who thorough as him? Nobody!

I keep a gun tucked cuz I don’t trust nobody

I got plenty biscuits

And ya nikkas like skinny bytches ya ain’t got no bodies!

And some nikka a few posts above said cassidy remind him of conceited :mjlol:

This why I don’t take y’all serious
I thought cass was dope but he wasn’t super clever or witty to me and hit records doesn’t necessarily impress me ,it’s not like he’s jay z lol

Californ-i-a by way of BK
I feel you but idk i just dont remember him being in the same vein as some other dudes. maybe cause he was on ruff ryders at his peak and wasnt THE man there? theres a diff between saying he got no play or hes wack and hes at the top of the discussion of the best. how many had him in their top 5 at the moment? thats more what im getting at
I feel you. He definitely wasn't a top dog but he was in that Freeway, Joe Budden level maybe slightly above (In terms of hits). Just a tad below Fabolous.

I think the bigger issues were Queenzflip and not enough uninterrupted footage of the back and forth between Goodz and Cass. The battle rappers' thoughts thing was cool even if people feel like it was presented as Cass vs the battle rap world/culture. I don't mind that stance for promo purposes lol.

Yeah Flip treated it way too much like his shows on his channel. He should have either not done it or just understood he is a mediator.

All that shyt is cool and all but times have changed and...when Cass said he was above certain nikkas...who are now in battle rap as top guys, I couldn't take that nikka seriously. The whole thing with him writing records that got him some accolades, I can applaud that. Past dope ass freestyles, I can applaud that. But battling in this format completely, I am questioning shyt because, I still can only go by what he last showed me with the Diz battle. Not the Freeway battle or whatever else. Plus, he tried to deflect in the face-off from the battle to what songs he did with whom and what shows he did. That's cool and all but that had shyt to do with the battle or his battles. So I dunno, Cass gotta show me more in that ring because it all sounds good but that last battle was ass and he fukked up the first time around.

What was so trash about cass performance in the diz battle?

The battle being cancelled the first night was beyond his control so idk why ppl even bring that up

And he came with 3 new rounds in the garage after burning one round the night before so if anything he should get even more props instead of acting like the battle being cancelled the night before was somehow his fault

People saying cass was ass in the diz battle is revisionist history if I ever saw it cuz immediately after that battle I saw him getting nothing but props from everyone even from the few delusional people that still gave the battle to diz

All I kept hearing prior to that battle is diz is too experienced diz has too much freestyle ability diz is gonna rebuttal cass head off and all cass did was go in there after what 12 years of being away from battling and straight shyt on diz

I don’t understand how people can fix their mouth to say cass was ass in that battle

If y’all won’t give him props for what he did to diz all things considered then y’all never going to give him his props

People already been throwing disclaimers out there with this goodz battle

“Nah goodz ain’t even bar heavy like that”

I told y’all nikkas before the diz battle cass is built for this shyt

acapella rapping is what he loves to do most

Just cuz he don’t do all the dumb ass hand gestures and gimmicks don’t mean he can’t do his thing

Y’all better pray that crowd is majority battle snobs like y’all cuz if there’s a lot of casual fans in there he gonna make goodz look bad trust me

When guys on here say Hitman is one of the best shyt talkers in battle rap, I don’t get it. Yeah he’ll promote, but he’s such a poor speaker and has a hard time articulating himself at times, that I don’t see this great shyt talker.

That's not even close to revisionist because I recall that battle the first time and Cass did fukk up; they had to redo the battle elsewhere a second time because there was other shyt involved but still...I remember seeing Cass fukk up. Second time, he was better but the lines were not all that. He really beat Diz because Diz (1) was uncomfortable and (2) Diz beat himself on his on own turf. That's on him. I respect Cass for his skill level of what he has done before but c'mon man...he comes back to battle Diz with those bars when we have had battles where the game has been elevated with not only punchlines but performance and delivery as well? I'm not saying that Cass can't do it but you mean to tell me...based on that Diz battle...he is gonna win the battle with Goodz because he has some hit records and is on his promo shyt? Nope.

This isn't about being a battle rap snob. I'm going by what I have seen from both of them lately. Goodz has shown me he can fukkin' win. Cass has shown me he can do good promo but I need more from him in that ring because, those lines like had from the Diz battle against Goodz, ain't gonna cut it. fukk if you think Goodz just can win on swag or whatever alone. Those lines won't cut it.

I see cass spitting with conviction and supreme confidence and I don’t see goodz having better material than him in terms of bars

People blow this “outdated bars” shyt way out of proportion just because cass has been around for so long

Whenever I watch a battle from dudes like goodz, hitman, math, verb, hollow, dizaster etc trust me I hear A LOT of “outdated bars” but for some reason y’all over look them when it comes to new generation battle rappers :jbhmm:

“Twin .45s...Donovan Mitchell”??

Not only is that “outdated” its fukkin lazy writing and something cass himself wouldn’t have spit 20 years ago

Cass’ old bars are better and way more clever than that so y’all really gotta knock this outdated bars shyt out because y’all let a lot of these nikkas get away with so called old style bars

Only way goodz wins is if he comes with real talk and “angles” that resonate with the crowd more cuz trust me he’s not coming with better bars than cassidy

Bottom line. Cassidy can’t come with the same type of bars or rhyme patterns as he did with diz or how he rapped on that diss song to meek. He has to step up. Whether you enjoyed his rhymes vs diz or not. He has to come better than that. Wayyyyyyyyy better....
