He's speaking the language of lyricists. Most "rappers" won't understand this language.

Cassidy in a regular conversation sounds like he's rapping

I trust HIS diagnosis too. This man is your ghostwriters ghostwriter😂😂

Dude is like a lyrical scholar.

Only Cassidy can take this question nd make it about him 😂😂

I’m from Philadelphia and I can definitely approve of this message that Cassidy is a legend

Ima *_start the lecture_* on *_architecture_* like an *_art director_* in a *Harvard sweater*

People with ghostwriters are disqualified from being the best.

This man is truly passionate about the art of RAP!😮

As a rapper I love doing songs where I rhyme everything, have a lot of bars, and use multi syllables all the way through, but as a musician I understand using all those techniques don’t make a good song. Rap is still music at the end of the day. People coming here to escape, they ain’t coming here to solve puzzles all day, especially when life itself is a puzzle to them.

Yea I’m convinced Cass passed English class with straight A’s😂

Kendrick Lamar, Jay-Z, Eminem, and Nas are just a few of the rappers who excel at conversation like Cassidy. They are the masters of poetry.

Making your flows more difficult don’t make you the best, creating music people can connect to all the time in a technical, yet easy manner. That’s the tough part

Rakim, Canibus, Lloyd banks , Jadakiss, Fabolous, Eminem, Cassidy, papoose, Nas, Ludacris , Busta rhymes, Styles P , Ice cube, Redman , Lil wayne, Jay Z these are some of the rappers i think can do what he is talking about ..

Now i see the lyrical intelligence this brotha has will tune into the podcast

Cass took us all to school

Loved the video, also cass did not come close to answering the question 😂

I loved cassidy when i was in highschool... him and dipset were my favorites... listened to him Jay z and JR writer everyday before battling in the lunchroom... good times lol

This was dope! Cassidy taught me something, now I know the difference between a rapper and a lyricist, and the skill is greater using more syllables and consistently doing it. I think award shows should have a rapper category and lyricist category, and not just a songs impact on the charts.

I respect Cass, but this is why his music never popped! He has BARS, but BARS don’t sell.. Future said it best, rappers have the dumb down their lyrics for the everyday listener or mix it up with creating simple music then have your lyrical joints.. Wayne is really great at this!

As a rapper i 100% get what he means because i remember when i started rapping ... It was hard to rhyme multi syllabically consistently but few years later i got so good at it that i even stopped writing and still rhymed with multi syllables ... Consistency is the key , the mind is like google search algorithms , the more you put a certain information in , you get recommendations quickly , so once you rhyme like " Hocus pocus, comatosed , i overdosed them on facts // loads will choke , they going ghost like they've been smoking on crack " almost every syllable rhyme .... PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

People can clown him but I respect anyone who truly loves their job like this

Brilliant lyricist conversation 👏🏾 a true breakdown of the art of different rhyme schemes 💯🙌🏽🔥🔥🔥

Damn Cas made it so easy for me to understand that!!! I never heard anyone explain syllables like that.. straight 🔥… intelligent dude

Cassidy creates a "Detailed podcast of hip hop rhyme scheme and free style art" I'm watching it daily 🦍

Architecture designed like Travis Barkers sweater under the weight of a whole Cars pressure, left a tech on a stars dresser It's all on me, peep the choreography, quality with no apologies, head In the stars like astrology, we raised in an animal farm with a cannibals methodology

Excited fa Cassidy podcast in that case 🔥🔥

Poetry would help rappers and the hiphop listener understand lyricism. Syllabics, rhyme and near/slant rhyme, as well as assonance and alliteration form the foundation of a lyricist. The top tier excel at strong similes, metaphors, analogies, entendres and lyrical miracle wordplay, storytelling, etc Lupe and Cassidy lyrical 👑 As a Poet/writer to hear Cassidy indicate he doesn’t acknowledge near/slant rhyme is borderline 🤯 . Rhyming every syllable isn’t necessarily syllabics; to me Cassidy is describing his preference for combining syllabics and strict rhyming as a means to knit pick between whose a better lyricist is how you take away the fluidity of the word art form Y’all must remember though about KDOT from Poe Man Dreams: “I know some rappers using big words To make their similes curve My simplest shit be more pivotal I penetrate the hearts of good kids and criminals Worrisome individuals that live life critical So won't you bear witness while I bare feet So you can walk in my shoes and get to know me”

As a student of the game. That multisyllable ish is the first thing I notice when I hear new rappers, and when you add punchlines, you have my attention!

Yo this is exactly what Doelow was saying about Drake, he not a RAPPER he a performer, he just the face of other niggas bars

Well said 💯💯

THANK YOU, Cass. He's the only rapper of his stature to highlight how intricate it is to rhyme so many syllables aka Multis. I do think there's more to rap than just that, but it's a different level of writing when you can Multi AND do the other technical parts if rap.

He spent the whole 9:20 speaking bout how Drake is a basic rapper . He never mentioned K Dot’s flow not once .

I’d definitely tune into him breaking down current ,old hits

Cassidy like bruh let me finish talking before you start talking

🤘🏼💪🏼✊🏼❤️ legend and dope break down

He just explained why I’m such a good lyricist and as far as Drake goes he is a hit maker so he does a lot of diff things but he can rap four syllables whenever he wants. Red Button is an example of that ..

"Avoid the beef! You runnin alone. You shoulda brought your piece. Your gun is at home That's where you left-ya-gat? If we was shootin' you'd be dead... tronna scramble to the crib where you left-it-at" Cass been cold

Tunin in! The goat always got something constructive to say!

😂😂CASSIDY CLOWNING LOW KEY😂😂

Stop forgetting to name Balck Thought in these lyricist syllable talks guys

Drake got a lot of styles = Drake got a lot of songwriters

make sure everyone knows the name of your podcast, cassidy, because Iam plugging in immediately

As an artist who has different styles and influence genre wise. Everything he is saying is soo true. Although I believe there are more complex ways of writing now where you can make near rhymes work ultimately rhyming all the syllables is hardly found today. Because a lot of rap has been simplified.

BARS IS FLASH(back)

Sometimes the person who masters the basics becomes the best.

Please do this podcast !!

This is why Rap isn't for everybody and why too many people who can't rap,RAP😂 Cassidy is giving a breakdown of Rhyming like a Real Hip Hop teacher that's Qualified to teach Hip Hop 101... Two syllable word rhyming and 3 syllable word rhyming are for the Creators with that pen to put words together like a Thousand piece puzzle 🧩 The Word scheme and Wordplay matters to Rappers like Cassidy and the reason why he's very respected as a MC...I think Drake a Great Rapper with Wordplay and can switch flows but Kendrick is the MC who can Word Scheme with Wordplay and have Metaphors and Triple Entendres😂

Kdot uses multi syllables in most of his songs it should have been very easy to come up with aleast one example. What makes his raps even more interesting is his flows, he's very creative in the way he switches them and still manages to ride the beat insanely. You could never hear him using the same flow over again which ive seen many rappers do which to me seems like they run out of flows even though they would still have more words to say. With drake, most of his flows sound the same, the lyrics might be alright but over all I don't really see an mcee when I'm listening to drake. His music overall give me a good vibe but even if i hear a bar I don't get really excited because I can't tell whether he came up with that line himself knowing that he has Ghostwriters.

Figurative Language is my KEY category in lyricism so I’m glad to hear Cassidy acknowledge it!!

I been rapping for over 20 years and I learned something new. Thanks Cassidy 👍🏾

He broke it down nice. Figurative language and multisyllabic rhymes and rhyme schemes. When it comes to that stuff ITS KENDRICK OVER DRAKE NO QUESTION AT ALL

That’s the problem with cass he’s stuck in 1 era with 1 style , he was never able to adapt to the new styles and that’s what stunted his growth!!

High key cass just woke a artist up with this knowledge somebody watching this gone master what he said 💪🏾💯

Cass Thank You🔥🔥🔥

Cassidy, Fabolous, Lloyd Banks, Juelz Santana, JR Writer, Jadakiss, Styles P, Beanie Sigel, And The Game Are The Best Hiphop Lyricist Ever 💯

i’ve heard cassidy rhyme with one syllable 😂

Gotta love Cassidy when he’s on this type of talk, I relate completely and preach the same thing. He’s spot on.

Glad got me to watch cass again!😅

It’s crazy people still SLEEP on Cassidy!

Bro i dont listen to a song thinking if it has two or 3 syllables..im trying to hear what you said and how it sound , thats all

Thank you Cass

Sooo...this dude sound like a college professor...why dont they teach rap as part of Grammar, bc he talking about stuff I didnt really learn until much later in life...Cassidy has always been a monster with the words

We just got a free rap lesson from Cassidy

Bars ain’t music. People want to listen to things and enjoy it. Not have to be dissecting every line. But making that good is a skill in itself and that’s where Drake shines

I just like rappers who sound 🔥 when they doing it from the words they use the type of voice they have an the beats they flowing on an you gotta feel it, lyrical or not as lyrical doesnt matter to me you know whats dope when you hear it

Even when bro just having a conversation it sound like he spittin bars 😂🔥🔥🔥🐐

Bruh said IDK WHERE THE SOUNDS COME FROM OR WHO RESPONSIBLE FOR EM LMAOOOOO

The fact he didn’t even mention Kendrick at all speaks volumes

Drake-Red Button

And I just listened to his recent song… And although he is using these three syllable words, he still rhyming with the simplest word

People win rap battles by lyrics, not by who releases tracks the quickest 😂

Drake has a lot of styles because he has a lot of writers

Cass is one of the great ones 👑🔥💯

Yeah he need a podcast where he breaks down rap songs and lyrics for sure

Only two words that I thought of rhyming with “astrology” were apology or mythology. Maybe even “a lot of pee.” 💀💀💀

Drake is like Cell from Dragon Ball Z. Each style is from his many Ghostwriters 😂😂😂

Drake has alot of writers with alot of styles

Cassidy a good MC by all accounts , was asked about Kendrick and Drake and he started by Drake … Why? because he is the most versatile of the 2 . Which is where he has the edge in this generation … Don’t hate 🤷🏾‍♂️

I can rhyme with astrology ♓️ I got dimes of the broccoli 🥦 I be on the grind like ya mom and ya poppa be 💯💪🏾

I loved hearing this! Cassidy and Lupe and Eminem should talk together about rhymes like this.

so true they need to start listening

Wayne is the syllable god 😂

What about that song Hotel with R Kelly when you kept saying "Ma" a gang of times, Cassidy?

We need the bar for bar breakdown show

I don’t know why, but I’ve been thinking this way about rap since I was a child. I always noticed syllable usage. That’s how I gage if a rapper really cares about rapping well or not.

Literally majority of yall ignore the genius of Cassidy as a literary scholar smh

Architecture ... car sit text her... idk lmao

7 mins im still trying to figure out if he answered the question correctly 🤣🤣🤣 boy you the Hustler for real

True lyricist : syllables matter !

Drake steals styles from mainstrean and indie artist. When drake first came out he sounded like lil wayne in some ways than like phonte from little brother.

Drake has a lot of different styles because he has more than one ghost rider Its as simple as that 😂😂😂

Rhyming with Architecture: I'm teaching a hard semester of architecture. But today, when I wanted to start the lecture I accidentally let out a fart that festered for months inside my large intestine. The students thought it was by far the best you're gonna get in regards of pressure. So as a charming gesture, One of them handed me a jar to capture the air, so I could sell it to an art investor.

I'm still listening for the answer

I am in a lyrics class now. Tha k you Cassidy

This man should be known as one of the goats he was to lyrical for alot of people's mind capacity

He given away all the sauce lol I have these breakdowns often when educating artists

What 😮cassidy rocking looks dope.

Whoever connects the best with the audience is the best rapper. I dont wanna think too hard when I'm vibing to a song. I want the flow to automatically resignate. When your flow too intricate it's hard to build a big fan base & sell records. Drake wins because flow is conversational (sounds like he's rapping to you) , clever, & easily connects. He is uses brevity at its best.

What is the name of Cassidy’s podcast?
