Cassidy Calls Out Eminem And Challenges In Rap Battle ‘Show Me What You Can Do Slim Shady’

dy has recently sat down with Fresha Than and Rashaun Abdur-Rahim on the latest episode of ACAF where Philadelphia, Pennsylvania-born hip-hop artists and battle rapper expressed his desire to work with Eminem but also challenges him into a rap battle.

“If somebody wants to claim the title, like Eminem or somebody who would have to come back and get actually in the lane, they are out to claim that they are biggest battle rapper because, as at this point right now, it’s me.” said Cassidy.

When Rashaun asked him if Eminem is someone he would like to battle, Cassidy replied: “Nah, I’m a fan of Eminem. I wanna work with him. I ain’t really trying to battle him but I battle anybody. I battled myself before so I battle anyone.”

This is not the first time Cassidy expressed his desire to work with (or battle) Eminem. Couple of years ago, in an interview with Hip-Hop Is Real, Cass spoke about Slim Shady being the only person he’d like to battle: “The only artists that I would get excited about are those that accomplished more than me in this world. Any battle rapper that you will bring up I am not going to feel, like, not taking anything away from battle rappers but I just felt like I accomplished more than any other battle rapper. I would get excited about somebody like Eminem, definitely, I want that.”

Last year, in an interview with Ugly Money TV, Cassidy was asked to describe how his Eminem-diss record would sound like, on which he replied: “Nah, I love Eminem man. I got no reason to diss him. I love Detroit. I love all them motherf-kers. That’s like really hip-hop place. I f-k with Eminem. He made history so many times and that ni-a can really rap. That ni-a can put bars together and that’s dope. He can do any type of hip-hop. He really into the culture. He’s not the ni-a that’s unfamiliar to what’s going on. That ni-a is super informed. So, I don’t wanna diss Eminem. I wanna work with him. I wanna meet him. I wanna talk to him.”

As far as Eminem, his favorite battle rapper seems to be Murda Mook. Couple of years ago, in an interview with Report Card Radio, Royce 5’9″ said: “Eminem is definitely tuned in battle rap, he loves Murda Mook. I think Mook is his favorite right now.”

Ebie Wright’s documentary explores the controversial conspiracy theory that her father was murdered and did not die from AIDS

The daughter of NWA icon Eazy E has accused Ice Cube of “dodging and ducking” her after he was asked to participate in a new documentary about the rapper’s life.

Ebie Wright is making a documentary surrounding the events of her father’s untimely death in July 1995, but says that Ice Cube is proving to be the project’s biggest stumbling block so far.

In a recent interview with Too Fab, Wright said: “There’s so many people that are talking on this about my father and are in support of what I’m doing, and have been there for me, and just have a lot of great things to say about him, and not just even great things, but also just telling their story… what they know, what they’ve seen, their relationship with my father. How he paved the way for them, opened many doors for them.

“The only thing I will say honestly, is probably the only person that actually matters to this story I’m telling, who hasn’t talked on it so far, I’m just being completely honest… is Ice Cube.”

Wright went on to explain she had a close relationship with Ice Cube’s son O’Shea Jackson, who even told her his father was on board.

“You know, it really breaks my heart that he hasn’t spoken on this yet because I grew up with his sons and I have a really good relationship with them,” she said. “He actually told me that Ice Cube was willing. He was gonna do whatever for me and he was down. Since then, when we tried to book him to do the interview, he’s been ducking and dodging.”

It should, however, be noted that Wright’s film is titled A Ruthless Scandal: No More Lies and explores the controversial conspiracy theory that Eazy-E was actually murdered instead of losing his battle with AIDS.

In a brief trailer for the project, Wright says there was “so much cover up” surrounding her father’s death.

It is also said that she directly implicates a number of people in his death. Ice Cube is yet to address his absence, but NME has contacted his representatives for comment
