CASSIDY BREAKS DOWN HIS SCIENCE TO LYRICISM & WHO HE LOOKED UP TO!!! (PAY ATTENTION) 

That boy said Scarface! Yall better give Brad his respect that man is one of the GREATEST to ever touch the mic! 💯

Respect for him saying will smith bro 🤙

Love that he gave Lord Finesse his flowers! After Kool G Rap, Rakim, & Kane in late 80s, Lord Finesse, Pharoahe Monch, Del, & Treach in 90/91 were that next wave of elite lyricists!

Cass on every album is the only nigga that battled his old self with new growth: BARS VS THE HUSTLA,THE PROBLEM VS THE HUSTLA this dude reinvented him self damnear every album and got better every time . Cass here’s your flowers bro. They are well earned 🌹💐

CASSIDY LOW KEY A COMEDIAN😁

Prodigy comes from a long line of queens poet/journalists rappers.

Thanks for getting Cassidy on. Hes one of my favorites and most undeniable battle rappers ever.

Surprises he didn't say Big L.

This Interview shows that Cassidy is truly one of the Goats.🆙

“The only Smack Rapper, that’ll smack Rappers “ 🔥🔥🔥💪🏽

Scarface is dope as F, that's a pass grade

Cassidy starting to look like Gillie. 🤣🤣

This man said goodz go to the China spot for fried fried rice. I really go to China to get Chinese food 🤣🤣

I only agree with Cassidy about the science part. He can say what he wants to but science or no science simple complicated it dont matter some artist have the "IT" FACTOR and can light up a room stage and rock a show. Even if he feels the audience is ignorant to the science

Math Hoffa gifted at this media shit! Salute Godbody

Ask ras b 🤣 gotta live cas

Cassidy is very intelligent

I always was a fan of Cassidy since he came out. I gave respect to him. Lyrically dope, delivery is accurate, flow immaculate…. All the above

For me it was Biggie, Lil Wayne, Big L, Drake, Kodak, B Magic, MF DOOM, Tyler, the Creator, Earl Sweatshirt, Eminem, lot of guys but those who I can think of at the top of my head.

I'm in HAITI 🇭🇹 huge fan of Cassidy best freestyle rapper 🔥🔥 dope MC 👌 💯

5-0 passing by when Cass get high, I be in a different world like Jasmine Guy.

Dawg i was waiting for him to mention Big L, Big Pun, and Canibus as one of his influences of his style & flow.

Lord Finnesse was a beast

All professors & teachers were once students & the most brilliant ones still are. I'll stop learning when I'm in the grave. Facts!

That pick the winner and bricks for dinner bar is crazzzyyyyyy for it to be in the 80s 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Cassidy taught me actually a lot, I mean I knew the science of it and understand syllables, it is just how he explains it that is dope.

cassidy has a point but, if you look at how lupe, royce bends syllables its equally if not more enhanced than his method.

Big L was doing frequent punchline style long before you Cass, when you came along you weren't that advanced, dope yes but not as advanced you think, punchlines is actually simple. Actual metaphors is way tougher

Cassidy naming his top five: 1. Me 2. Myself 3. I 4. Barry 5. Cassidy

Cassidy and his science

Cassidy 🤣 you aren't just the energy but you're the entertainment too.

He’s real for saying people like Hunpty and Will Smith 💯

Cass knows what he talking about. The ear can’t resister to the brain when u say some crazy bar cuz their ear never hear anything like that in battle raper will understand it so they would use it n master it than every battle rapper gonna start doing it that the fan keep hearing it so it finally resister cuz the fan brain n ear evolve

Bro I could listen to Cassidy spazzing all day bruh 🤣

Annnnnd at what point was Eminem lyrics even mentioned????

Jr writer n the old juelz Santana got that science too 🔥🔥

Day looking at Cass like nigga if you think that shit was hard to understand.. Cass like the Kanye of battle rap

Cassidy knows how to make the biggest niggaz feel lower than a ant knee. You gotta have tough skin just to have an informal conversation with that dude. 😂

“Ask Ras B……” 😐 Niiiiiiiiiii&&a! 🤣

Cassidy wouldn’t fuck with Big L.

Sometimes less is more, especially when it comes to music and rap lyrics...that's why most battle rappers can't make classic songs.

I swear if Cassidy says figurative language one more time😤

Cassidy is the Bruce Lee of Battle Rap ....MATH trying to out knowledge Cassidy

Cass has domination in his spirit

King Los 4piece special. I already know what's happening before it happens at these jobs. Imma just filter and let them catch battery on a militeristic level... Sadly

That's so cool he mentioned Lord Finesse😁🔥🔥

He is NOT lying. Before Big L rip, Lord Finesse was droppin punchlines so hard he was able to fend off of the blows of The Great Percee P! Check Lord Finese's first Album ...Period!

Cass is too much stuck on the science part of RAP but RAP is also a form of MUSIC which makes it ART and therefore is subject to personal preference. As much as someone puts dozens of sylibils together, if it does not sound good to me, whatever the cadence is, I don't fuckin' like it and you can science the shit out of the bars - it will not be liked whatsover! And it's also the voice to me - Rakim, NaS, Black Thought, Guru, Ice Cube

"Cass" My Nigga!!! lol always honest. "Sincerity Is Seldom Misinterpreted".

No one will never admit it but mobb deep change the game

After years of not hearing anything from Cass, I casually asked myself what he is up to today and checked his discography. Turns out before the whole "I'm a hustla" thing he already had underground legendary status (don't judge me, I was too young back then). After this kind of one hit wonder, you would expect that he ends up like other artists who had a short commercial peak: ending bitter, bummy, broke, burned out. But no, dude comes out of nowhere and slaughters the best battle rapper of those days, dizaster, like it's nothing after a hiatus from freestyle for 12 years. That was actually the last time I heard from him and I really expected him to be gone for good, or like other long time rappers to have a "I'm too good for this shit" attitude towards rap, being involved in producing at best or just simply flexing on young cats with his past fame. But dude comes again out of nowhere, goes full circle and to his very beginnings as a battle rapper and is constantly kicking some young dudes ass on stage. Never saw such a dedication to hip-hop. I got maaad respect for this guy, one of the very few who really deserves the title of a "legend".

I do love the way cassidy breaks down the art and science of multiple syllable rhymes but the problem is that his so called "figuritive language" is not great.

KRONK 101. WHY DO WAL- MART MAKE MORE THAN MACY'S, CAUSE PEOPLE ARE SIMPLE MINDED ,U GOTTA MAKE DOPE SHIT SOUND SIMPLE....BATMAN 1GOD

Good information in this interview. Cassidy always has something constructive to say.

Cassidy really need to understand that it's not just about syllables and figurative language. And if niggaz can't get what you on, why slow up or dial your shit back if you got fans already? Niggaz don't suck for rhyming 2 syllables. Some people kick that shit that is fire and wild interstellar

Ehhh I'd pick a style like Lupe fiasco over Cassidy's back to back punch style anyday just my opinion 🤐 shit like dumb it down or streets on fire its more than I'm hot like fiya, have you sing like Mariah, im not talkin bar work when I pull up beside ya, more bodies than Micheal Myers, like a bird I'm flyer etc etc lol. For actual rapping and story telling or sending a message to me that hits harder and requires a ton of research and wisdom too.

he should take his craft of rap all the way like Jimi Hendrix did his guitar they are still trying to reach that dont stop because people cant get it they will come if you build it

Less than 1000 likes and all these views they ain't really knowing how RU-vid work

Daylyt burnings sands is fire. Copped a pair...definitely a comfortable fit. Y.O.D.A.

How he look up to Grand Master Caz when he wasn’t even born in 80-81 when dude was out and RU-vid wasn’t around back then

You pick words that rhyme. Something you learn in elementary school lol people try to pretend rap is some intellectual, intricate, sophisticated music lol. It’s literally stealing music others created and passing it off as your own

DAT NIGGA SAID ASK RAZ B, AYOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! NAWWW, DAT WASN'T IT BRUH, NOOOOOOO THO HE SAID ASK RAZ FUCKIN B

Casa day Shit like everybody think like him and fail to realizes that it’s just his opinion and sometimes ppl agree sometimes they don’t

Cass da GOAT.. no more saying

5004 -0

I’m the perfect rhyme 😈 no 🧢

Wtf is cass talking about 😂😂😂

Cass kinda corny tbh. I respect the boy pen but this whole science to syllables thing is trash.

Love this conversation man these are jewels

Bars

love he gave it up to Will...people act like he didn't have a style and a lane...1st album or 2 still hit

Daylyt so quiet. You'd swear he ain't one of the best.

Will Smith album was real good

I'M HERE, LET'S TALK ABOUT IT

Daylyt. Daylyt Mansa Burning Sands! 🔥 👀

This check for 626 a poll or mine if not mine I return.

"Ask Raz B I seen em " got me weak AF rn

Ayo he said he was in China with Raz B… 😂

✊🏿💪🏿👍🏿💯

Lord Finesse!

Before anyone starts crying at my comment i have hundreds of recorded battles.. Undefeated and just beat LOSO recently. Now let me explain cass point. Its not. They break the syllables with accent to make it appear theyre ratteling off multis but theyre often imperfect rhymes.. This what cass means.. U need perfect syllables as well so while a royce might have the "A and A n a half patterns" cass does A b b A patterns with 2 sets of syllables... Royce uses original syllables and breaks them Royce type : im "RAGING WAR" (first 3 syllables but broken) i CAME WITH SWORDS (same broken 3) like a JASON BOURNE SCENE (full set of targeted syllables is now 4 the original build up syllables were a broken version of 4) Then royce throws a punch.. "They not feeling that spit like a FACE OF MORPHINE" .. Thats a broken a a A pattern they use Cassidy expects every syllable to fully rhyme or 2 have 2 different sets.. 2 examples Full syllables rhyming "If you STEP IN THE GAUNTLET OF TORTURE"(8 SYLLables)- "EXPECTIN TO CROSS THE ENFORCER"(8 syllables) You'll get "put in place faster" than "OBSESSIVE COMPULSION DISORDER" ( 8 syllables and punch) It all rhymes He also means the A b b A style he ALWAYS DOES with 2 separate syllables combinations.. STOP IT DOG, YOU LAME ... You 'Trash my son' but a like a "Gatlin Gun" my "SHOTS ARE "OFF THE CHAIN".. any true master of lyricism barely even hears anything besides the punchline and the amount of syllables. These are the basic steps.. Before other factors come in like cadence and delivery.

Cass not messing with Banks,Royce,Fab,Jada,etc.nowadays

Cass act like he’s the dopest lyricist ever. All he has is punchlines, that doesn’t make you a lyricist lol

I feel Cassidy lyrically wit syllables and having metaphors n all dat but mfs wanna just hear good music

I'm not going to lie...everything I hear now I check how many syllables niggas is rhyming with and most of the time it's only one....

that's because people don't study history of hip hop...I feel what he's saying

The issue with the conversation is you are talking about basic street stuff like it's still 1980s the problem is they don't how to use that skill set to address a give voice to something bigger and more important and meaningful but they are still trying to be the best street kid

Yooo…. when class speaks they all listen because it’s kothing but education on these bars. Shit is dope

pay ATTENTION jayblac battle truth 3HAterman

Cass been that guy from my school days n im 36🙌👊🏾
