It’s been a while since there was a high-profile Rap battle, but fans may get their chance to see one soon.
In response to Meek Mill’s offer to battle Cassidy or Murda Mook, Cassidy called into Philadelphia’s Hot 107.9 to discuss the prospect of battling the fellow Philly emcee.
“Well, you know, that’s what I do, man. I mean, I’m cut from that cloth. I started off with battling so I’m into that but ever since I got a deal and started getting money up in this industry, it wasn’t really beneficial for me to battle especially with a bunch of those dudes that are battling all the time,” explained Cassidy.”I know I’ma bite they head off but it’s like, really, what am I going to get out of it?”
Cassidy explained that Meek’s status made the proposition a good one for Cass. “Meek got that wave right now, he a household name, bigging him up — we definitely can get a nice crowd, get some crazy sponsors and get some chicken up. So it’ll be beneficial for me to do something like that.”
Listen to the interview below:
RELATED: Meek Mill Wants To Battle Cassidy Or Murda Mook, Asks For $100,000 Or More
who is going to pay them 100 gs to battle??? lol
You would be surprised…as long as there would be money to be made out of it, the sponsors will emerge.
shit with the right hype you can sell 7000 tickets at $35 a piece and more than double your money (7000×35)=245000
co-sign that they could easily double or triple the math meek wanted to battle
All this talk about money, money won’t mean shit if you lose a battle. Do it for the love.
meek mill already backed out like a bitch! hes scared so he made a bunch of excuses!!
CASSIDY GONE MURDER MEEK ASS….IF IT DOES GO DOWN…
DAT 100 000dollars SHUDNT BE A PROBLEM, RICKY ROZAY SHUD BE GUD 4 IT IF HE IS AS RICH AS HE CLAIMS 2 BE
he not gonna put up 100k so his man can take an L like that
you talk like ross is that niggas dad and its christmas or something
meek thought saying he needed 100k would put him out of their brackets and no one would accept that shit so now hes back peddling as fast as he can
Meek Mill may be a good rapper but Cassidy is better and it would not be beneficial at all for Meek Mill at this point in his career. Why would he start this in the first place? Or did someone bate him because I do not know.
niggas like you are funny. you complain about rap being soft and the art being lost. then 2 rappers show nterest in battling just as good sport and fun and now you niggas wanna get political and shit. why are yall so worried about this niggas pockets. just enjoy the fucking sport this is exactly what you niggas been asking for and now youre bitching.
I can’t find anywhere where meek flat out said he wanted to battle cass or murda mook. On the interview vid meek said he would like to see mook and cass battle, but hiphopdx put the headline as meek wants to battle cass or mook and misconstrued his words. Even meek said he cant really see cass losin a battle
Lol and the second anonymous look stupid as hell for postin that comment. Niggas like YOU are funny. How do you know 1st anon is one of the niggas complainin hip hop is weak right now? It’s not like he has a username, there are thousands of people who post here with the name anonymous so how do you recognize this one? Stop ASSuming, you ASS
but he did say someone would have to put up 100k for him to battle
yea, but he didn’t call out cass or mook specifically. Meek not stupid
actually he is quite stupid, in the same interview he claimed he is the first rapper to do two tours without an album out,
100k is nothing….with the right hype you can sell 7000 tickets at $35 a piece and more than double your money (7000×35)=245000
youre ignoring a lot of shit. You dont get all that money, you gotta pay the promoters, the venue, etc..
MEEK ALREADY BACKED OUT LIKE I THOUGHT HE WAS LOLOLOLOL. HE AINT BUILT FOR THE BATTLE SCENE. JUST LOOK AT HIS FREESTYLES ON YOUTUBE FROM BACK IN THE DAYS. BUNCH OF GENERIC, BASIC LINES THAT WOULDNT HOLD ANY WEIGHT IN 2012. CASSIDY GAINED POINTS ALREADY ON THAT FREEWAY BATTLE. I’D PUT THE HOUSE ON CASSIDY…AND ITS NOT EVEN TIGHT!!!
I’m not a fan of both
But…haha, bye bye Meek
look out cassidy. meek’s gonna destroy your ass.
meek already backed out hes scared!
check his twitter he a hoe
He backed out when he offered? You got to be kidding me?
You must not have heard Cassidy rap, because that nigga is ill. Meek will get destroyed.
“Awww fuuuck how am I gonna get outta this one?”- Meek Mill
EXACTLY
Cass would only battle a dud (artist) in the same bracket as him self, not no street cat cos he’s be getting all that’ you on the tour bus while Im grindin out here’ and so on..Mills lives the same life so they cant pull that 1 on each other, it would be to raw for Cass to battle street battlers
Obviously you haven’t heard Cass spit. Cass always spittin about drugs and guns and he roll with real niggas. Nobody can use that “you on the tour bus while Im grindin out here” cause the fact is the nigga been there done that, and he might still be doin it from time to time. Only reason cass wouldn’t face a street dude is because of money.
I know Cass can spit…this raw and all off the top http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpdKGaETgvg
Okay then you already know a lame line like “you on the tour bus while Im grindin out here” isnt go work. Cass would come up with some slick shit talkin bout he he ballin from rappin and pushin crack and he’ll still clap a nigga
that a ‘dude’, not dud
chicken sounds good as hell right now
Fuck you.. You made me hungry on some weed shit… arghhhh
This is looking good.
we all know cas would murder meek thats why meek has changed his mind and said no
LMAO MEEK NEVER WANTED TO BATTLE IN THE FIRST PLACE. YOU ARE BEING PLAYED BY EDITORS, BITCHES. TRIPAUD
at this point meek is just hiring some dope ass ghost writers right about now. Thank you ross.
Not even tryin’ to be funny, I forgot all about Cassidy. These industry rap battles usually end up being wack, because there’s 85 dudes on stage with each rapper.
You need to check out his mixtapes then like apply pressure 2 and 3. He still a beast on the mic
A rapper with a major record deal shouldn’t need to battle. It’s beneath him.
real talk
how is it beneath him ? explain
cuz thier scared of gettin beat
look at royce and mista fab i think royce stopped battling after
First DNA and now Cassidy… shit aint looking good for Meek.
cassidy is wassup
weak mill backed the f out. excuses are so weak i can understand he scared to battle cass.
cass just make song mention his name a line or two. no subliminals straight in weak’s face.
they should take his lable away
if he doesnt battle he admitin cassidys better
I hope to God this happens.
know why? cause even though this would be orchestrated, it’d be a nice break from all this stupid bitch ass Twitter beefing that rappers got goin on nowadays. have two recognizable emcees engage in a rap battle, and with enough hype more rappers might consider doin it. and that’s where you could get the real shit. not tryna be too optimistic about it, but it’d be much better than seeing some punk ass sucka like Shyne throwin words on Twitter like he somebody important. take this shit back to the streets man.
Co-sign.
all beefs should end with a battle and the loser has to retire from thier career
beef should be serious
rapper disses … the dissed rapper responds , and then the beef is on
after that the rappers battle and the public decides who retires
rappers could take other rapper out
once the battle is scheduled the rapper go back and forth trying to gain the vote/bigger fan base
and the battle ends it and decides a winner
then the rappers could have a body count …. how many rappers they took outa the game
if the rapper doesnt respond after 5 diss records
the rapper’s career has been challenged and has to battle his way out of it possibly ending the challengers career
jay – z would have been challenged
indie rappers could try and take a mainstream rappers deal
BRING BACK BATTLING
or make a professional rap battling league with todays rappers.
underground and mainstream rappers could join and have a seperate career from music
have them batteling in the staples center and broadcast it on tv
i could see it now. eminem and jay -z standing in a boxing ring with a dj in the middle, mics come down from the ceiling crowd streaming. and have fat man scoob hosting
classic.
“Mics come down from the ceilin, crowd screamin.
In a minute ill have them all kneelin.” – T
speachless, layin down on the ground
hands on thier forhead like he aint playing around
make you run away, but no fans made you stay
nailed you down so u can hear my lyricaly display
your feelin queasy, uneasy , unable to speak clearly
speakers on blast beats so hard your vison blurry
now i sit and relax while the paramedics hurry
spark the dro light the bong i just ended his career
the crowd chants my name while he cowers in fear
the names T and aint motherfucker that dont wanna be me
or at least my opinion just made everyone laugh
meek mill is a street cat he would murder him on and off the mic bruh!
then why did he back out?
really, meek is so real that he’d body him, really. get out of la la land bruh.
MUTHADON
as Joanne implied I’m blown away that any one able to get paid $7311 in a few weeks on the internet. did you look at this site…Key14.com
aint cassidy that weak nigga that got stomped the fuck down a while ago? man, he got served than dipped outta the industry.Im just seein him come around again now!
only strength on the mic matters
who do you think would win in a fight game or andre 3000
Andre in a fist fight all day son!
You know what would be dope as hell?
A Cassidy vs. Meek Mill freestyle battle …
… HOSTED BY FREEWAY.
“THROW A BEAT ON MAN” LMAO “I WANA A RAP ON A TRACK” That niqqa Freeway weak lool
host it on Grind Time Now
Who gives a flying fuck about either of these dudes. They not even emcees, don’t belong in no fuckin battles cuz they both weak as fuck.
you just spewed some real stupidity right there. the real question is who gives a flying fuck about you think.
Meek Mill can make records, he cant balltle rap to basic, Cassidy could never really blow up much as Meek Mill because be dont make records hes a battle rapper the best metaphors , Cassidy all day son,,
Cassidy can still make nice tracks but he lost all of his hype and buzz after his murder case and after that he had a car accident and caught amnesia and his rhymes weren’t that great for a little while, then Ruff Ryders wasn’t really doin shit either. Cass had a promising future before all the bullshit, but now he just can’t recover, atleast mainstream wise. Niggas who really listen to hip hop know cass is back to his a game, he shows it in his freestyles and his mixtapes
cassidy will win
without even trying. easy money 4 cassidy.
cassidy getting paid
100 000 dollar battle
game should battle 40 glock
i am so ampd for this battle to happen. I have been waiting for this all year i have heard the jabs back and forth goin on. this is a heavyweight battle to epic porportions. Ali vs frasier type shit. These to cats be lengends in the game, done put in work and been battle tested. i dont know whos gonna win this because its so close lyrically. both spit hot fire, its gonna be nothing but a legendary night. we know cassidy be a gunner and meek be a runner so its about to go down (cue up yung joc song)
meek isn’t that nice homie, mediocre at best. it will be more like foreman vs frasier. cassidy would crush him.
I don’t know who would win his one Meek got that steam behind him but, Cassidy is wicked!!!!

Stupidest conversation ever…
Do you realize these guys both want $100 grrr win, lose, or draw…?
If you think these guys are gonna get $200,000 for a battle, forget rap, you don’t understand what the american dollar is worth.
It’s a fucking rap battle, not an AFC playoff game…
Honestly, you think someone’s bonn give these guys $100 grrr to spit three 2-minute rounds of premeditated shit…? If so, I have 500,000 Jae Millz mixtapes I’d like to sell you…
Morons.
Yeah, both your posts are nice and logical, except you ruined them by saying “grrr.”
CROOKED I or any Slaughterhouse MC would crush both MEEK AND CASSIDY ASSES….
THE ONLY THING SLAUGHTERHOUSE EVER CRUSHED ARE THEIR WANNABE CAREERS. HOW WOULD CROOKED I BE ABLE TO BATTLE ANYBODY, HE IS 248435468 YEARS IN THE GAME AND STILL HAS NO SOLO ALBUM.
RICK ROSS WOULD PROBABLY PAY CASSIDY TO LOSE THE BATTLE.
Just like a fistfight between MCs with too much to lose, it probably ain’t gonna go down. I remember back in the day Biggie said he would battle for money…and that he would tear that ass up.
Cassidy’s wining!
I ain’t that sure that cassidy will win! Because Meek Mill was a battle rapper too!
@hoodgrown,
What does Pac’s age have to do with him signing to Young Money? Isn’t Busta signed to the label? Doesn’t matter about age. Some rappers would sign to a young label due to the fact that it might have some buzz and to attract a younger audience.
why is it so hard to fathom Lil Wayne signing 2pac to Young Money records. He already has the biggest and best names in the industry under him running the game. And what does Wayne kissing other men have to do with his music? Pac was a damn background dancer before he made it big…with a parted flat top
Ever seen the video of him when he was like 18? Completely different. Wasn’t a “thug” or “gangster”, and goin on and on about how he respects women, then all of a sudden he “don’t love dem hoes”. He used super proper and formal speech and had a quire boy vibe to him(he used proper speech in interviews when he was older but not to that degree)
So how is he different from Wayne? Wayne has a much better flow as well…just sayin
LMAO…..how fucked up, you made all these hip hop groupies look
BIRDMAN’s comment shows just how little you know about ANYTHING.
1. Pac would have never signed to Young Money. He would be about 40 now anyway so there would have been nothing “YOUNG” about him.
2. What the hell does his hair style have to do with anything? THat was the STYLE OF THE TIMES just like most you dudes where gay ass looking skinny jeans.
3. Him kissing a man has nothing to do with his music.. just his credibility. No other rapper would have gotten away with kissing a man and still had a career. Oh yeah though.. this is the sagging skinny jean generation so ya’ll niggas worship men that dress more like women and have feminine characteristics. Spandex? That’s what Bloods rock?
4. Yes and the nigga man songs respecting WOMEN and dissing HOES? What are you too dumb to know the difference? WHat category would you put your MOMS in?
5. Because a nigga knows how to speak he can’t be gangster? Really? No one your generation stays losing because you niggas are idiots. That explains why the music is so dumbed down now because you niggas can’t speak (Chief Keef interviews?), and can barely write. The most dangerous black man is an educated one.. not an ignorant one.
6. Tupac really let that thing loose shooting two police officers and got OFF… THAT by itself makes him more gangster that Lil Wayne will ever pretend to be.
THAT’S HOW HE’S DIFFERENT THAN LITTLE WAYNE IDIOT!
LOL 2PAC BALLERINA GAY ASS RAPPER AIN’T NO GANGSTA. HE’S ONLY CABABLE OF SHOOTING GODDAMN COPS, LIL WAYNE MURDERED EVERYBODY ON EVERYBODY’S TRACK, WHO IS TUPAC, ANYWAY.
I agree with all of your points on Pac. I did see that interview and he was nothing like he ended up being near the end. His whole demeanor was different. However, Wayne does not have a better flow that Pac. Wayne’s flow can be nice, but not better than Pac.
hoodgrown sound like an angry old black man. Move to the side old man and let th youngings do there thing you hater. For your information before pac died he was planninig on doing work with master p which would lead to him meeting birdman and wayne and with birdmans swagger and elegeance in the boardroom pac would of fell for him like he did suge. lil wayne the greatest rapper ever period….. anyone 30 years and older wanna hate because they think biggie or pac cmon get outta here, look at numbers, longevity, swag, style, crossing boundaries, having best crew out ymcb untouchable. hoodgrown your a grown ass man that needs to respect true artist like cheef keef who is a genius with words, have you even listened to him speak, everyone Vote for romney
@dude ur funny:
Don’t cosign a nigga who hasn’t really made any kind of real point.. makes you look like a dick rider.
cassidy would body anyone in a battle hes the best ive heard
Check out “Perfection Is A Theory” by Sivil! Album of the year! http://sivilmusic.tumblr.com/PerfectionIsATheory
UPDATE!!!
Meek backed out! He said I’m only gonna battle rappers that are poppin.
In other words he only wants to battle mainstream rappers (who quite frankly cant rap to save their lives, let alone battle)
it makes sense because he is not in the same category as any of the major battle mc’s out there. smoke and mirrors from meek.
Cassidy is well known and was once mainstream, he could kill meek. Eminem could kill meek, K. Dot can freestyle really good, i bet he could take meek, nas could take meek, gibbs can freestyle, i bet he could beat meek. Shit Stalley could beat meek mill lol
kendric would murder cas
cassidy show em who’s the king of rap battles
cassidy fell off years ago
No he didn’t. You prolly havent heard any of his recent music and freestyles or youre trollin. Cass not on that mainstream shit, but he def aint fall off lyrically
Saying Pac wasnt gangsta because he was well spoken is like calling Malcolm X a choir boy. Real niggas can start a revolution. That’s what Pac was talkin about. These so call street niggas today are all talk no. selling drugs and making money dont make you real.
Cass would EAT this man alive, Cass from that era where you had to go to CYPHERS to get cred. Must we forget the intro to his first album……dude absolutely took fire to the paper. He don’t play on the lyrical tip…..
Kendrick lamar would murder cassidy!
I think cassidy will win.But Meek mill might do something who no???Would like to see CASSIDY VS BEANS.I THINK BEANS WOULD WIN!!!
mills is like every other programed rapper coming off the commercial assembly line.. glad to see a real lyricist like cassidy getting it in. R.I.P that clown and restore some of hiphop dignity or whats left of it.
@MILEHIGHKID303 WYS…..I LIKE CASSIDY IMA HUSTLER HOMIE…GET DAT PAPER CASS……MEEK ALRIGHT BUT HE THINK HE DAT DUDE SINCE JAY-Z ROCKING WITH HIM I GUESS..CAUSE ROZAY STILL AINT NO PLATNIUM ARTIST……….
What would the undercard be?
This battle will never happen. It’s like Whole Foods vs fast food.
Some of ya 90s babies are killing me with comparing today’s “artists” to legends like Pac. So shameful. Don’t get me wrong, if these “artists” had even a small of real skill, I could see y’alls point. The problem is there’s very few out & y’all ain’t seeing them. Y’all too busy picking sides, rather than listen to the lyrics. I feel for y’all because there’s no substance or genuine talent for your generation to really ride for. It’s all about smash,blow,ball, & imitate. That’s it. But how many MEDIOCRE ways do you need to hear mofos spit about getting what you ain’t got but they leasing? SMH
My money would be on Cass, Meek has never been lyrical
Are u Stupid?? u say meek isny what?? Watch This>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5s_-kLTRqc
I SAY CASSIDY
