Cassidy 8 Minute Freestyle



Well damn, that’s really all you can say after watching this freestyle from Cassidy, a rapper from Philly who most of you should know. And if you didn’t know who Cassidy was before hearing this song you get an idea of how talented he really is.

I find it hard to talk for 8 minutes but he managed to spit written bars in freestyle for a camera for over 8 minutes and that is something that I don’t see a lot of artists doing. Maybe because they can’t do it or they just don’t want to but, this video has over 4 million views on YouTube and I can only assume that number is getting larger cause I listen to that video at least four time a week.

It isn’t just the lyrics that make this video amazing because his delivery and knowledge about his rhymes that shows when he is on camera. He acts out a lot of lines and that shows that Cassidy is a true battle rapper. Just ask Freeway, “Put a beat on.” If you didn’t get that reference Cassidy before he was signed had a rap battle against then signed to Roc-a-fella records Freeway who is also from Philly.

The battle is long and I won’t go into too much detail about it until I make it a post on this blog but, Cassidy won and after that got signed and started to sell records. So if you got 8 minutes to spare listen close and hear what Cassidy has to say.
