Lil Wayne Says He Can't Battle Rap

In the last edition of his Weezy Wednesdays, Lil Wayne admitted to not having the abilities to Battle Rap. A lot of established rappers can write down their thoughts and then record it, but very few of them can actually drop a freestyle off the top of their head, and battle rap. And the longer they have been in the mainstream, the harder it would be for them to even try that.



Lil Wayne was speaking on the just concluded battle rap match-up between Hollow Da Don and Joe Budden when he admitted to not having the abilities to do what battle rappers do. 







“I did hear that Budden lost. Not sure who won out of Mook and Lux yet, but as far as my opinion on battle rapping, I think it’s a cool sport. What I mean by that is, I think it’s something cool to do. I think what they do is very very, very fuckin’ cool. Very dope. It can’t be done by many. I can be the first to say that it can’t be done by me. I don’t know how to Battle Rap. You don’t see me diss. I don’t diss people. I don’t really know how to do that. But what I think about Battle Rapping, I think it’s dope. I think it’s awesome.








Canibus went head on with a legend (LL Cool J) when he was just getting into the game in the late 90s, and he won the battle. But that battle wasn't a face-to face battle, but of recorded songs in the studio. Two years ago, the same Canibus was humiliated by Dizaster in a live battle rap. I still don't know why Canibus accepted that battle invitation. There is nothing to be ashamed of if you can't battle rap. I remember an interview of Eminem and Royce Da 5'9 from 2011, where Royce admitted that he couldn't freestyle off the top of his head. There are a lot of rappers that have to write down what they are thinking first, edit it a few times, and then make it a masterpiece for a song.


Cassidy Speaks on Why He Is No Longer Interested in Battle Rap

Back in the day, Cassidy was popular in the battle rap scene. He even battled Freeway in the early 2000s, and murked him. But, this is 2014, and Cass says he is no longer interested in that spot. He feels doing anything that would jeopardize the money he is making with his mainstream music career doesn't make sense for his future. Read his words on this below. 





During his recent sit-down with VladTV, he was asked if he would ever consider the battle rap circuit again, and he said...



“That shit is a business. Now back in the day, before it was a business, before I was making money, that’s what I was doing all the time ‘cause that’s where I was at in the game. But now everything I do I get paid for. I’m not gonna go battle some nigga and fuck with this permanent money that I’m gonna be able to get forever to just please a couple niggas. That shit gon’ have to make perfect sense. The nigga I battle gotta be a perfect nigga so after I do it—I know the outcome, what it’s gonna be. He gon’ get destroyed. But after I destroy him, I’ll be able to bring shit to the table for Mayhem Music, my family, my team and not just no 30 [or] 40 grand. That shit ain’t about nothing. That shit ain’t about nothing.”

Meek Mill Responds To Cassidy Diss

Meek Mill and Cassidy have been going back and forth of late, more on twitter than on wax. But, yesterday, Cass dropped a new track, "Me, Myself, & iPhone", where he dissed Meek Mill directly, on the last verse. Now, Meek Mill has brought back the battle challenge he put forward to Cassidy (in which he backed-out after Cass accepted) a couple of weeks ago.
