Recap: When Dizaster last faced a professional recording artist, Canibus, his notebook-entrenched opponent was so bad and Diz made it look so easy that the idea of the veteran battle rapper ever battling another rapper was a wash. Unfortunately for Diz, that wasn’t was case here as against former street battler Cassidy (from “I’m A Hustla” fame) Dizaster’s pen game fails him big-time with 90% pedestrian bars and rhymes that even when they did hit, ran the same theme of braggadocio lines, predictable personals and standard verbal assaults. But Cassidy, whose magnanimous battle rap face alone gets him points, showed from jump that he wasn’t going pull a Canibus, dishing enough cocky and hard punchlines, gun-laced shiners and a totally on-point of his loquacious opponent to edge round 1, before both battlers dialed it back to split a pretty underwhelming 2nd round, before Cassidy upped the ante again with hardbody schemes and gritty punches/personals to easily take round 3 from a tedious turn by Diz and up his win-loss record to ‘5001-0’.
Verdict: Cassidy (W) 2-1
Favorite line: Cassidy – “I’ll snap and give you head shots like barber pictures!”
