How much is Cassidy getting paid for this? I'm asking because he turned down 75K to battle. If I was him I'd ask for 80K. He was shitting on Total Slaughter at the event according to Ebro. He needs to battle Mook, Jones, or Lux. Lux would grill him. Jones would grill him. Mook would grill him due to his time off from battling.
I hope the battle rappers with names are taking advantage of this opportunity by building connects and putting out music. Do they seriously think this heightened awareness for battle rap will last and translate into a permanent lane to eat off instead of putting out music? I ask honestly because every battle rapper eventually put eps and albums. I'm talking about Diz, Hollow, and Math as far as not putting out music in some capacity. Hollow refuses to do it as he said in his Sway interview. Lux, Surf, and Mook at least have the right idea and put out some music. I'm not dissing the culture but pointing out the obvious that Diz can't tour multiple cities performing battle bars. At some point, he needs to put out a commercial product and tour off it if he wants to have a career outside of battling MCs. I'm not dissing the culture AT ALL. Legends come from it so don't think I'm shitting on it.
