Cassidy vs Freeway - May 2000, The Hit Factory Studios. New York City.

"Hov started talking a lot of shit to me" says Philadelphia's, Cassidy of the night eight years ago that would earn him eternal battle-rap dap. "I just told him, 'Bring anybody from your team to the studio and, I'm gonna bite their fuckin head off." Jay-Z's choice was Freeway, a fellow Philly spitter, and in a room packed with vets (and atleast one video camera) two hungry, young lions went toe-to-toe, acapella, for 17 and a half riveting minutes. Free blinked first, asking for a track to rhyme to, and history (and over a million YouTube views) deemed Cass victorious, on the strength of lines like, "Leave you stuffed in a dumpster like Brenda's baby!" Chomp.

They can't ban da Snowman - Fall 2005. Schools Nationwide.

When will the grown-ups learn? What's the fastest way tpo make something popular with kids? Forbid it. Faced with the growing trend of the grumpy snowman T-shirts that accompanied the rise of Def Jam rapper, Young Jeezy (a.k.a. Da Snowman) to national stardom, school board officials from Atlanta to Brooklyn banned the apparel, citing the underlying drug reference. Heavy press coverage ensued. "The media tried to attach a negative connotation to the snowman." says Shakir Stewart, Def Jam's senior vice president of A&R. "This attention fueled the demand for Jeezy. His album <i>Lets Get it: Thug Motivation 101</i>, sold two million records--that speaks for itself!"

Lol Jeezy .. Dudes a funny cunt.
THis is a great topic idea bill.
props.
Someone sticky this.

You can always sell an album under them conditions.

Game Gets New Ink - June 5, 2005. Giants Stadium, East Ruhterford, N.J.

Embroiled in an on-again off-again war of words with his former crew, 50 Cent's G-Unit. The Game took the stage at Hot 97's '05 Summer Jam with a baseball bat, a 50 mocking rat mascot and a butterfly tattoo on his right cheek. While fans and rival rappers, like the Unit's Lloyd Banks, questing the, umm, <i>gangsterness</i> of such a delicate, flower-loving insect, those who know their needle-ink history say otherwise. "A lot of old gangsters have that shit." says Mr. Cartoon, hip hop's premier tattoo artist. "It means rebirth." Anyways, Game soon had a change of heart. In November 2006, he appeared on the cover of XXL with a new, block0letter "LA" covering the bug.

LOL & Now He Has Patrick The Starfish on His Face
