Stan is too strong, but I fukked with Cass in like mid 2003, he was killing all the mixtapes, and up until his subpar debut, was dope as fukk on the freestyles, and 'Hotel' was my shyt in senior year, 'i got room keys'...
Back then, it wasn't just assumed that an above average mix tape rapper would drop an awful debut album, he got some back after the second one, but then he caught the case....he even got a third chance with 'B.A.R.S' and we know how that ended..
I loved his 'Jackin 4 Beats' freestyle,esp 'Victory' at the end, the 10 min 'PSA' freestyle, the one over Jada 'Blood Pressure', 'I throw ounces in freezer bags to keep my pockets fat like trina ass'
ahhh man I used to play that all the time,
'I hand out ounces/running throw abandoned houses/to burn the cops/come right out to burn the cops/with a bird in a laundry detergent box/so it don't look like I'm tossing packs, it just look like I'm going to the laundromat'
man those old punchline/dopeboy freestyles are close to unlistenable these days, beyond dated.
