Am I alone in the idea that a LOT of cats are not very nice, or as nice as people make them out to be? This goes back to a convo @Narsh saw me have on Facebook.

Folk were literally arguing with me about how "NICE" Fabolous and Cassidy were.

In 2015.



I felt like I'd time traveled back to 2001.

Like are you serious? Fabolous, aka "I dig it like a shovel" (Real line)
and Cassidy: "I got bars like cell phone reception" (Real line)

..are NICE?



In this current battle rap era of face scrunching, mindblowing wordplay, we're still putting trash on a pedestal? Neither one of those dudes have spit A bar better than anything they spit here in 10 years.






(Btw Cassidy got washed horribly on this)

Cassidy and Fab are way passed their prime, but punchline artists always have duds. More as filler or just as a result of finding it in the rhyme scheme. Writing wordplay organically is just a slow process. Not many rappers who rely on it maintained it well for even a full album. Jadakiss Syndrome. Lil Wayne's decline. Em's decline.

Being a punchline artist is just outdated.
