Im hoping at least Cass may get exposed more on URL, I felt one of the big benefits he got was some fans especially casuals also saw it as Diz (GT/KOTD style) vs Cassidy the more street style, nevermind that cass was just trash, now he wont have that

I’m gonna be objective on Cassidy. If this happens on a large stage, he dies badly. We saw what happened on night 1 of Ether. It takes experience to battle in front of that many people. It took some of the vets several events to figure it out. I still don’t think Math has figured it out yet imo.

His best chance is on a Smack Vol card, which is similar to the setting he beat Dizaster in. I’ll be honest, he pretty much had everything but bars. He was overly prepared. He had so much material, the fact that he already spit his first round the night before didn’t even matter. Diz ran outta gas and admitted he didn’t have enough material for the 2nd battle, because he didn’t expect there to be a second battle.

I’m not excited about Cassidy. I think he has all the attributes, but he’s never gonna battle enough to put it all together.

Let’s take Reed. He FINALLY put it together after all these years in the Rex battle. It took him several battles just to get acclimated.

Iron came back, and took the safest battle which was Daylyt of course. He still sounded outdated in that battle. He kept battling and now look at him. He even acknowledged he still needs to work on his performance to be ready for a guy like Hitman.

Serius Jones doesn’t even sound outdated anymore, because of all the battles he took on those small stages.

It’s all about experience man. If you just plan to come in, and disappear for a few years and come back, you can stay away from battle rap. It just creates bad battles.

I’m speaking from a fan perspective on this topic. I think Lux would be so much better if he were active. He was damn near unwatchable against Arsonal and Mook. Even a talented guy like Lux needs experience. He’s getting by on talent, but if we are going to be objective, we have no idea what we are going to get from him when he comes on stage. He’ll definitely be prepared, but is he gonna be great? Or is he gonna come like he did in his last battle?
