  • During his latest sit down with DJ Vlad, Cassidy gave his opinion on the new school of rappers in hip hop claiming that 'Mumble Rap' should be a category by itself. The Philly rapper presents the OG idea where bars were the forefront of the genre more so than the image of the person on the mic. He also asserts that this current breed of rap stars are too friendly, and discusses the effect of his legendary battle with Freeway, what has changed in his relationship with Swizz Beats and his trajectory as an artist, before diving into a punchline heavy freestyle.
    Listen to the full interview above.

    Verse for verse, bar for bar, one of the best to ever do it. Radio songs were the goal at labels in the early 2000's, and those types of songs weren't a priority for a true artist like Cassidy.

      Cassidy is most definitely the best rapper doing it...hands down! The way he piece up, the amount of syllables he uses, the vocabulary he got, the figurative language that he uses, the creativity that he has, and how he put it together in regular talk form is better than any rapper that's out! No one can do what he do and do it constantly and consistently the way Cassidy does it

    Mumble Rap is it's own category. Most of them aren't lyricist but I don't agree that all of them aren't, being a lyricist myself, I can clearly see where some of it has branched off into a mix. I also don't believe that lyricist should be trying to better one another. A former friend listened to a mix I made and said my cousin Marq Musiq bested me on my mix, he didn't understand that the whole mix was one long song and that no one was competing with anyone else. It has never been about duality, it was always about unity, growth and being in the momment of the momment.

    I think Vlad should do interviews with the general public opinions about the generations of rap. I'm a chic who grew up in the era of rap of Big Daddy Kane, KRS1, Tupac, NWA, Snoop Dog, Master P, Pimp C, Scarface, Lil Flip, Bow Wow, and etc. I agree with the comments about today's rap game and mostly I don't get it but the beats are cool. Everyone has their likes and dislikes but the late 70's, 80's, 90's and the first 10 yrs of the 2000's is what I can get with.

Dmx every now and again but hardly ever. I damn sure wasn't checking for no songs like Hotel or the other one. I did not listen to shit like that. Then years later when I recognize the homie for his lyrical ability I fucked with dude hands down. He's for sure one of the best.

But I also seen a Shizz Lanskey interview (member from his group Larceny Family) saying that he wrote it and repeated it to Cassidy and Cassidy took the credit for it in a meeting or something like that! Could be true, could be a reach, but the way he doesn't want to take credit for it now after saying he did in that verse got me thinking maybe Shizz Lanskey was telling the truth, now my boi saying that he wrote some of it and he didn't care because it was so long ago! What's going on?

    Me personally, I make my own beats and search for other beat makers to make beats. It's not going to change my sound, I know what beats I would make for myself so when I look for beats, I look for my sound. Some artisy may need inhouse beat maker's but some of us don't. Truthfully It's a bunch of almost artist out here. People who have a few slices but not the whole puy, but those two pies is what got them in, them or their label knew how to find the rest. The best thing about being a true artist, is that you don't have a time limit for a song nor do you have to wait for projects to be approved.

  • @razheer100
    @razheer100 Před 6 lety

    I can see how the caliber of nas raps could be opinioned to not match with his beats. The thing about a lyricist like nas is that it's hard to find someone just as Ill in producing lucrative, witty, awe inspiring beats as he is in writing lyrics. I think the only producer able to match his style is definitely alchemist and then premiere. Dre did extraordinary work on the firm album though (a heavily underrated album at that!!). It was written seemed to have the best beat selection across the board for nas though, but it's a borderline between that and illmatic.
