Nah he’s not. He’s right where he’s at. People don’t shit on him. His albums just don’t be hitting as hard, but no one has ever denied his lyrical ability.
5 hit records under his belt. A gold album. Signed by Swiss Beats at 17. Got bangers with everyone from Wayne, DMX, Jadakiss etc. Great lyricism. Great song writer. Dop battle Rapper. Now 20 years later and still doesn't have to wake up and punch a clock. Shit, that's the American dream.
@@marklouisproductions2804 People forgot all about the ringtones.....I Remember the first company, that artist had to go through, to get their songs turned into a ring tone, hi-tones, or fly-tones, it was something like that! I wonder whatever happened to them🤔💯💯
So legendary "If I pass you base and you spend my gravy and I ask for my papes and you pretend you crazy. I'll put 10 in your avi and pretend you paid me... leave you stuffed in the dumpster like Brenda's baby"
Cassidy was one of the rare street rap battle cats that wrote hits. Cass reminds me a lot of Big L and I think L’s respective career would’ve gone in a similar direction of he signed to Rocafella.
@natsusatsujinki8342 beanie wasn't OK you can make a case to say from 1999 to 2004 I know I'm not from Philly but being from New York and New Jersey beanie Sigel was hands down the greatest rapper from Philly and I thought that if wasn't for his trials and tribulations and if he would of made that 100% transition from streets to the rap game solely than you can make an argument that beans could of been the greatest Philly rapper ever
“I’ll break your ankles if I like your sneaks, put your face to the curb make you bite the street, leave most of y’all missing like Pipper teeth”🔥🔥🔥🔥💰🔥
Eh big deal, Philadelphia Freeway is classic regardless of the battle. Plus I think we all realize Free was a studio rapper, but you gotta give him props for trying.@@CHEEKSWHITE
He ain’t lying. I heard that battle on a DJ on point mixtape i was listening to that battle almost every day like it was a song lol wit my walkman CD player. Nostalgic thinking bout it!
Philadelphia in the house one of the 🐐 Cassidy 💯 battlefield rapper can't believe people try to Unrated him i know all his rap battles & his songs Miss the old days now listen to his music !! Throwbacks!! 4
Facts... he unknowingly created a whole culture of battle rappers literally using his style ... 😅 crazy part battlers really be thinkin they have a chance battle rapping the originator of the style they are using
classic battle i done downloaded many times off LimeWire n Bearshare back then in the 2000's, me n my guys use to spazz listenin to battle rap off SMACK DVD n etc
50cent was right. He didn't lie when he said when rappers come at Jay Z, he puts his artists in front of him to handle his beefs for him & he just sit back 😂😂😂
Don't embarrass yourself Broh. Jay wasn't going to battle no new comer. Even Dude just told you, I looked up to Jay. Niggas just choose hate. There's no hate in this video. Don't be that person❤❤
This will always be the essence of Hip-Hop the competitive spirit. Jay-Z and Swiss both knew what? Using State Prop and Cassidy as pawns on the chessboard. State Prop was on the radio killing it and Cass was young and hungry. I miss the real Hip-Hop days. This new-ish is 🗑
Cassidy is one of one, noone has his cadence and no one will ever have his cadence if they tried they will fail. Cassidy is one of one. His punch lines is the flicker jab you don't wanna be the amateur on the other end of it lol peace and blessings to the boy and may he keep giving us rhythms well into his golden years 🙏🏾 one love
Let’s go Cassidy jayz lined up freeway smfh cause he knew free couldn’t go up against cass he had oschino young Chris omillo why you pick free out of all the dudes that night Chris and cass would’ve been a better battle cause Chris was carrying that freestyle on 97
Jay Z always dodged his battles. He sent Kanye, Common, and others against Drake. He sent Beanie after Jada Kiss instead of himself! He knows at his level of stardom it's the other person that stands to benefit out of the battle and he ends up being criticized for losing a battle. Jayz = Sukuh
Freeways voice at the end when he asked for a beat and Cassidy just walking off ….Fatality , flawless victory 😂

Another thing to add I’ma Hustle was one of the first rap songs to sell a million ring tones also

I've heard him tell this story about the Freeway battle a million different times and the story always stays consistent 💯
Not like he can lie it was recorded on video
@@seanlamar29 I mean, the story of the actual lead-up to the battle
So legendary

Man his bars be 🔥
" If you wear braces then you know how that metal will taste! " 🔥😮💨
10 in your Avi(rex)
That's the one right there....one of the coldest bars ever if u ask me
Cassidy is literally aging backwards, every time I see him in a interview he looks younger 😂
He lost weight he was looking round for a min
Pause
@@bouche8503 Agreed! I think the weight loss helped out a lot!
American Indian 💪🏾💯
Cuz his skin was shit back when he first came on the scene. Clearer skin does wonders for a mfs appearance
I watched that video several times a day when it was out. Free was like “put a beat on” 😂😂😂😂😂
Definitely a viral moment back then 😂
Was looking for this 🤣
That shit was a bit eerie though, that studio was dark and at least one light was on 😳
“Put a beat on man” 🤣🤣😭😭
If social media existed back then,it would've turned into a meme😂@@DariusFoster-bu5kw
Cassidy is right its funny how the new Battle Rappers hate on him when their whole life style is based off Cassidy Rap Technique
"leave you stuffed in the dumpster like Brenda's baby" was and still legendary killer line ... listening to that for the first time brought goosebumps
Cassidy is such a underrated artists it's unfortunate he doesn't get his props or the recognition that he deserves happy new year by the way
Man his bars be 🔥
" If you wear braces then you know how that metal will taste! " 🔥😮💨
Yes he is. He been nice….
When Nas had Jay running for his dear life, he called those Philly Boys for help.
I remember that battle like yesterday. Totally bodied Philadelphia Freeway. But I give Free props, it didn't end his career.
Lost battle’s doesn’t do anything to rappers’ careers if they still make good music.
He won he didn’t body him
@@brandonderrick006 He did, when Freeway was begging for a beat. It was ova!
You talking bout Ja? 😂
Because freeway is the better artist, Cassidy is the better rapper. If you compare discographies Freeway wins easily
Cassidy was one of the rare street rap battle cats that wrote hits. Cass reminds me a lot of Big L and I think L’s respective career would’ve gone in a similar direction of he signed to Rocafella.
The impact that philly has on hip hop needs to be on notice
It's where it should be. Philly never had a Jay-Z, Pac or Eminem. Black Thought is dope. Will Smith made an impact. Meek is OK. Beanie was OK.
True @@natsusatsujinki8342
@natsusatsujinki8342 beanie wasn't OK you can make a case to say from 1999 to 2004 I know I'm not from Philly but being from New York and New Jersey beanie Sigel was hands down the greatest rapper from Philly and I thought that if wasn't for his trials and tribulations and if he would of made that 100% transition from streets to the rap game solely than you can make an argument that beans could of been the greatest Philly rapper ever

@@jimmycharlotin7050 yea beanie probably yea he was the one , the rest was u know ok u kno
I never forgot the line he did on ruff ryders vol3. “My trigger finger itching like it got genital warts 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
he’s still fine, he didn’t age 😍
It's too bad Cassidy didn't battle Jay Z. He would have cooked him too.
“I’ll break your ankles if I like your sneaks, put your face to the curb make you bite the street, leave most of y’all missing like Pipper teeth”🔥🔥🔥🔥💰🔥
He said I crack ya head like a sunflower 🌻 seed Brahhhhhhhh we lost it 😂
yeah whole time his delivery was hella aggressive with that battle, hence y he won to the masses fr fr
In a soft voice "put a beat on"😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
Cas fired Free up but he capping. The streets always battled with no beat.😊
Yea Freeway was honestly never the same after that 😢
Freeway dropped a classic album after that.
@ArtisanWindchimes true , nothing after that really , and that album was already recorded, dude died in that battle hard we not gone lie bro smh 😪
Eh big deal, Philadelphia Freeway is classic regardless of the battle. Plus I think we all realize Free was a studio rapper, but you gotta give him props for trying.@@CHEEKSWHITE

This story never gets old 💯💯
I seen that battle on a bootleg dvd back in the day. Freeway embarrassed himself.
Facts... he unknowingly created a whole culture of battle rappers literally using his style ... 😅 crazy part battlers really be thinkin they have a chance battle rapping the originator of the style they are using
Free vs Cassidy still a classic…

Philly stand up!! Cassidy from around my way. Uptown Philly stand up. Saw Cassidy battling on the streets since he was like 16
Bet it was 🔥
He wasn't that hot when he battled Little Ruckie (RIP)
50cent was right. He didn't lie when he said when rappers come at Jay Z, he puts his artists in front of him to handle his beefs for him & he just sit back 😂😂😂

IMA HUSTLA IMMA IMMA HUSTLER HOMIE!!! 💯
People going stop disrespecting Cass because he don’t make mainstream type music. It’s straight BARS
Yo. Cassidy is the real Benjamin Buttons. He is almost a high schooler at this point.
I've been battling since 91 with no beats.......funny 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lol I'm about to watch it again right now 😂😂😂
People have been ciphering and battling acapella since back then, not sure if Cass was though.
Legendary!!!! He seized the moment
One of Philly's Finest! 🔥
Battle rap: Cassidy Vs. Jadakiss, A Battle I would pay to see!!!!
“Put the beat on…” is a line my team and I use to this day 🤣 Cass had that boy SHOOK! 💯
Cass cheesing mad hard reciting that sun flower seed bar 😂😂
Battle rap, as far as the early era up until post 2010 definitely took Cassidy's cadences and word play
I started watching battle rap in the late 90s and this absolutely false
@@eib3137 show me proof of what i am saying being false professor battle rap
One of THEE best battles I still enjoy watching it’s classic and the blueprint to all of those “rap battle podcasts”
Definitely one the greatest… boy had barz 🔥🔥🔥🏆
That’s why Freeway said “ put a beat on” facts
I'll never forget Cassidy's "face Off" track.
He should do an updated version 💯
Man we had that DVD circulating through the hood like crazy back in the day! This was long before the RUclips days.
HERE ME OUT!!!!!!
PAPOOSE vs CASSIDY
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Papoose need to worry about his hoe of a wife
I thought this guy was young. How this man in his 40's and still look like he in high school
Genetics my hita, I'm 43 but I look 21
Cass still humble enough to acknowledged Free as a dope artist 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
He might be the great grandaddy of modern battle rap
“Put a beat on!”😂
Cass is a legend 💪🔥
The way he talks always makes me laugh. 🤭
Cassidy has not ageddddd 🤯🤯😍😍
They definitely set Freeway up. They ain't want none of that heat. "Go ahead Freeway." 😂
Dang a storm trooper and Chubacca are studio engineers…
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
" It's only a hand full of rappers that's touch'n the cash, but most of them getting f*cked in the ass "

Everything Cassidy say sounds like a bar. Lol best compliment I could ever give a rapper.
I remember hearing the battle off a mixtape …
“Na son throw on the beat “
"Put The Beat On" - Freeway
I wish everyone succes! Confidence is 🔑
Jay Z always dodged his battles. He sent Kanye, Common, and others against Drake. He sent Beanie after Jada Kiss instead of himself! He knows at his level of stardom it's the other person that stands to benefit out of the battle and he ends up being criticized for losing a battle. Jayz = Sukuh

I wonder how Art will turn this into an interview about Diddy 🤔
this guy is nasty with the bars a trust master of his craft
I'll go back to that classic battle to remind them.
The “Sunflower seeds” line is the main line that comes to my head when I think of this battle 🔥🔥🔥
