So Cassidy was poppin off at the mouth heavy, talkin all kinds of shit, I just don't believe that he's gonna do well in this battle at all tomorrow, what do you guys think?
Are you referring to this hot 97 interview?
I think Diz is gonna win, but Cas will put up a better fight than other industry artists. The way Cas is shit talking he is at least familiar with one portion of the battle scene. That counts for something.
It's just how he keeps going on about his massive influence. He's not necessarily putting together that he's really only
that influential on the east coast SMACK side of things. Even then there's a good number of rappers in that scene who didn't necessarily take as much from Cas' punchline style as he's letting on.
So his whole premise that he's going to take battle rap to the next level and give everyone the building blocks for the next evolution doesn't ring true to me. If he plans on coming out and doing some next level punchlines then that's cool, but the current scene is already full of rappers trying,
very hard, to out do each others punch lines.
Regardless, Diz isn't from that scene so if Cas plays that card it'll come off stale. Diz will have angles, He'll have his rapid fire multi syllable flow (which I fuck with heavy when done right), he'll have aggression, evocative violent Imagery, clowning
and punchlines. He might even fuck around and freestyle some hot shit if he's comfortable enough (though as of late diz has been sloppy with the frees).
At this point I don't know what Cas will do to match Dizaster's versatility. Cas will probably have the edge on the punchlines specifically (he'd better) and ppl might fuck with his flow more; but everything else? I'm just not seeing the Cassidy win.
