yep. theyre all little jadas at the end of the day.

jada wasnt 100% punchy like cass & fab tho.

and like @uncle grime said, fab didnt have that aggressive approach. so yea, now that i think about it, i agree that cassidy was the most influential to that specific sub-genre if i had to narrow it down. so i cant dispute it. cassidy's wording couldve been better, but then again, if he narrowed it down and listed names like this, it would come off type-disrespectful.






i never said it started in philly. i was just commenting on cats claiming that fab was doing it before cassidy.

big l's mentor lord finesse was the 1st str8 up punchline rapper. big l got his whole entire style from finesse & pumped it with steroids. but this aint about that.

its about who kicked off the craze in the '00s. most of them dudes werent on big l like that and didnt even know who finesse was..




the cassidy/freeway tape hit the streets not long after it occurred. its basically what jumped off the whole dvd craze(too raw, smack, etc). and yea, it was on the internet back then too. at least the audio. i never checked for the video on the net, since i already saw it IRL, but im 99% sure the video was on the net too. and cass was known for battling long before that. it was prolly his last battle but not his 1st.

its not about influencing kiss, fab or banks. its basically about all the battle rappers & dvd types. cass had the most influence on them.

Exactly, Barry wasn't even battlin anymore by the time a lot of the younger folks saw it. I agree with that's what really started the taped battle craze as well. You heard about the legendary battles before, but they were never seen. His influence is definitely prominent. Dudes talking about '04/'05 and that's when Reed, Cyssero and Reignman were shreddin the competition.

I was a big fan of Cassidy in the early 00s.... I was a fan of the whole punchline rapper movement back then... Posta Boy, Shellz, Grafh (the nicest one for me at that time), Jae Hood, A-Team (Fab and them), Crooked I, Banks (even yayo was droppin' punchlines back then), etc...

I remember Cass was supposed to be the next big thing from the eastcoast with the ruff ryders cosign n everything for a while... His buzz was crazy back then... But his debut was very underwhelming and even tho he had bars he's not THE LEGEND or INFLUENTIAL ICON that he thinks he is... He was one of the big names from that movement tho, I'll give him that... and one of the few who blew up at some point... Only Fab and Banks remain relevant from that movement....

Grafh was fukking nice with the punches and his flow was amazing......absolutely shocking how dude never blew up.........in his prime he was the nicest out of all of them dudes
