[pimpjuice11236]

mi nigga banks flipped dis track hard na mean

[lively75]

actually both examples are using the entire line to an extent. So I'm still right...lol

[lively75]

example using the end word

I get around like pac on tour

So hear my name from abroad (a broad).

example using the whole line

Raps an art, so I painted pictures!

Posted the portraits

Like a gallery, museum on wax, nuff raps

[lively75]

"If its about how you use the whole line, rap would be so simple"

Not necessarily! It's not that simple to flip a line n have many different meanings via metaphors in it, while all of them soundin hot!!! That's not that simple...or everyone would be hot! N EVERYONE IS NOT HOT!!!

[lively75]

"its how u use the wholle line...not jsu the ending word..."

...props2 da TRUTH gnugga!!!!

[lively75]

damn....da beat iz sik!!!!!!

[mrgnigga]

LONDON FCUKS WITH THAT BOY

**********Statik Selektah**************

HIP HOP NEEDS YOU BABY!

[cavegravedave]

damn this beat goes haaard. Cass & Term killed it.

[TheJfamous]

These three kids continue to do they thing. All of them r a problem. What more can you ask for when Philly and New York is in the house

[pimpjuice11236]

actually termenolagy is from MA so dat tells u boston got taltented rappers

[KiLLaHQuEeNZz]

@pimpjuice11236  He's from Lawrence not Boston

[MsSmokalotapot]

@KiLLaHQuEeNZz actually he is born and raised in Haverhill. Went to school with him.. So your both wrong

[Ziietie]

Man!!!I'm from Vietnam and it's the first time I know there is a rapper name Saigon!!!More than that, he's black and from US! Anyone know why his name is Saigon???

[robertpetrea23]

' cause you're adopted

[draztik]

not sure if this is true.. but ive heard the story behind it is his dad fought in vietnam and sympathized with the viet guerillas... not sure if thats true or not

[ScarredTemple]

Cassidy murdered this track.

[Skucy]

@ScarredTemple.

cassidy wrote 18 bars. for his rhyming words he used "man" 7 time (also used it twice in one bar) he said "fan" 4 times and "yet" 4 times. then threw in the words kilogram, dance, chance, biceps. im sure you can do the math. i dont think there was much skill involved with that verse and i actually got anoyed by how much he said the word man my vote is on Saigon for the best verse. not to nock on cassidy to hard though it wasent to bad but he surely did not kill it

[mrgnigga]

@Skucy duude your dumb as fuck...it dont matter what word he rymes.... he tellin u sumthng real....if u complainin how niggas ryme the same word....,then ur lame... its how u use the wholle line...not jsu the ending word....i can tell ur no emcee....so get your weak ass sum education on the work of a real emcee

[Skucy]

@mrgnigga He sure is telling a story but a good lyrical emcee could have told it without using the same rhyme word in multiple bars. I never complained about someone's rhymes till i heard this song. I'm sure I would have said it if the verse was done by a Cuban, Asian or a white person so don't pull that, If its about how you use the whole line, rap would be so simple

[Skucy]

you would have tons of even more shitty rappers out there using the same rhyming words. Now don't take that wrong I'm not saying Cassidy sucks. I'm just saying he could have totally ripped the verse better and differently with some more thought. You can think what you want about me man but I don't need a lesson and definitely not from you.

[mrgnigga]

@Skucy ...feel that....my bad....

[DBKProductionsTV]

@Skucy ur cooked. these three men murked the track. all three including cass. rhymin is more den jus rhymin the last word. its also the rest of the sentence

[Skucy]

@DBKProductionsTV

man this shit was resolved months ago who the fuck are you bringing old shit up. Do i really have to explain my self again. Or is it that you cant read because itz not riten lik dis

[DBKProductionsTV]

@Skucy calm down i didnt know it was resolved. now relax and enjoy dis song

[iktomi76]

*co-sign that. This track made me go look into Cassidy, f'real.

[jt202]

[Dutchmaster0O]

i cant stop listening to this shit!! beat is too Dope .

[wiseoficu]

u said it best

[blucamaro]

amen

[denverbroncosrock07]

as old school as the style of this hip-hop is, it is modern somehow... i think this is really the new age hip-hop, not that radio dance bullshit, and people tell us to move on? rock is still played with guitars... so why can't hip hop continue to have sampled beats and relevant lyrics? this album is so sick! just copped it!

[Tetsuooo00]

i feel the get money feeling but it needs more life expirance and less ego bulletproof baller stuff- young musicans dont grow up quick anymore. great beat

[fakkadihellbitch]

hip hop with class.

[SidewalksOfNY315]

Dope song over a CLASSIC Pat Methany Group sample!

[mrlowekey]

know ur musik son!!! yeah!!!

"So May It Secretly Begin"

[InxResponsexToxStars]

I'm not really into hiphop but I dig it. This track is fckn killer!! The smooth guitar line you know, it makes it really sensitive. Besides that, I work in an urban clothestore and we play this record and Reks's Grey Hairs almost every day. Nas wasn't right: hiphop isn't dead. Reks and Statik Selektah rule as fuck!

[joekelmen]

One off the best hiphop song ever made wow the beat is classic

[quinnthology31]

wait since when can white guys say the n word

[D3ADKENNEDY]

term is puerto rican

[quinnthology31]

ok... since when can puerto ricans?

[D3ADKENNEDY]

its argued by some puerto ricans that somewhere down the bloodline theyre related to blacks and therefore have a right, no-one kill the messenger if im wrong im just sayin.

[Kobraproductions]

Those are Nyuaricans. Nyuaricans think they have every right to use the N-word. And when people confront them about it they give their family bloodline as an exuse to use it. Just because you had a black person in your family 100 years ago dosen't make you black. If your 1/16 black, sorry you dont pass wannabe. Termanology is white/caucasion, he just happens to be of a puertorican nationality. So in reality he has no right to use the word. Next time you see a pale latino act black sock it to him

[D3ADKENNEDY]

damn, you know your shit. I see it all the time but i dont think theres any excuse for it myself.

[AYDEEZY]

scientifically there is NO way you can differentiate race by lookin at DNA strands so all in all who gives a fuck i'm Latino and i got mad homies who black and i'm they nigga they mine, its nuttin,yall needa fall back of terms dick, hes just nice, period!!!! props to statik sai and cass and everyone who keepin this hiphop shit alive, peace niggaz!

[afrojack8]

THANK YOU! I'm tired of seeing white people say that shit. same goes for FAT FUCK aka FAT JOE, am i right? i'm gonna whoop some ass next time i hear a white dude say nigga... o and nice song lol, cassidy kills it

[rheathhall]

you do know fat joe is of african decent ...

[mofoheltahskeltah]

puerto ricans are part black if not whole in some cases...noreaga is puerto rican but his ancestors are from africa. Most latino countries in the carribian are mixed race...they have very little european ancestry. The word is overused though. Puerto ricans and Domincan cats ain't notting to play with...FAT JOE is from Morrisiana South Bronx...probably the worst neighborhood in NYC and he has goons that keep 50's peoples living out of state..and that is real talk.

[671boxer]

Act "Black?" .... HipHop is not determined by race.. HipHop is a culture. Not all "Black" people like hiphop (however most do) ... And just because someone is not black does not mean he can't be a hiphop Artist. Cassidy himself is Half Latino. Don't spread the poison that has infected your mind on to others. HipHop is a culture for a people no matter what race , to unite as one entity and fight for the betterment of the common man who has been over-looked by society.

[ElHajjMalikElShabbaz]

wow! not a big fan a Cassidy but i give him props on dis one.

[ozzylongbeach]

yeqah man,cassidy can rap for sure.but i dont know y he raps the dumbest shit for the radio.the dude got flows man.

[vladeRG]

real hip hop

[SMS203914]

fuck yeah

[Paulopusher]

uhhhhhhhhhhhh..thats Hip Hop...respect to cass...

[share3f]

its crazy how cassidy freaked this shit. u can tell he aint even try hard to do dis. fire

[jcfelony13]

dope track they all rip it up.

[ESCOXTC]

cheesy chorus with the stupid voice synthesizer ruins the song.

[mikindani71]

do you have any idea how dumb you sound right now?

[ESCOXTC]

no, i don't. that voice synthesizer shit is played out already. also, the chorus sounds kinda corny. add to that, the song can do without termanology. he's not on cass and saigon's level.

[mikindani71]

ok the voice synth is played, i'll give you that, (so i advise you to not even go near the new Kanye album) but I am feeling it on this track. I'm not a termanology fan either, I still feel this joint is hot.

[omegaondblock]

can somebody get this beat yo i need it!

[Andrefondrei]

AWESOME

[afrojack8]

this is beautiful...and that was the first time ive ever said a song was beautiful XD lmao

[KOW254]

This is one of those songs that you can just chill to

[killa1mikey]

A FUCKING CLASSIC !!!

[stfufuckface]

anyone can find the lyrics?

[big15poppa]

THIS IS CLAsSIC!!! St. SQUAD RESPECT

[aahayford]

This track reeks of Pat Metheny so I already know that the sample is from him. But can anybody tell me exactly what Metheny song this was taken from? I never thought I'd hear Cass on a beat like this, I love the way statik flipped the sample. This is hands down the best track of the year.

[rachelkenshhole]

not sure what track but if you find out post the name of it up here

[sverrir48]

So It May Secretly Begin

[1980venom]

THIS IS CRAZY... !!!!!!!!!!!!

I downloaded the album, but 2morrow my musicstore can expect me at 9am. hiphop dead? hiphop always will be, even after the next bigBANG...don't sleep

[digctjpd]

This is the kind of gully Hip Hop the mainstream needs, and could easily accept.

[GioacchinoTemporale]

Peccato per la presenza di Cassidy, sennò sarebbe stato un vero capolavoro.

[jaibirdie730]

ok... this song reminds me so much of another song. Except instead of the vocoder/piano in the background it's a guitar riff. Anybody?

[7J3L5W7]

rap is something you do. Hip hop is what you live

[turboedc2]

This is a classic!

[JayJof]

Great colab

[ll345ll]

now this is rap.

[truekrazy]

no this is hip hop retard

[ll345ll]

shut the fuck up.

[Bu11et1]

Rap =/= hip hop

ll345ll you fag...

THIS IS HIP HOP!

Rappers spit rhymes that are mostly illegal

MC's spit rhymes to uplift the people

[ShadowTubez]

Couldnt have said it better my self word tha fuck up!!!!!!

[multies123]

thats actually true there is a big difference between rap and hip hop ppl in rap are rappers and hip hop has Mcees BIG DIFFERENCE

[truekrazy]

thank you lol sum1 else who actually knows what there talkin about

[ll345ll]

i see where you are getting at. buttt you wouldnt say that the MC's are hip hopping would you....!? Exactly.

They're rapping...

[brokenvoicetones]

Man, I can't get tired of hearing this shit!!! Dope.

[cmacpella]

saigon shout out to pac big pun and L is so dopeeeee

[smhaskin]

Yo Statik, this beat is absolutely incredible, and the song overall is great. However, I really don't understand why you chose to use the vocoder on the chorus. It sounds so cheesy, unnecessary, and out of place. That said, keep up the good work. I'll be coppin the new album for sure.

[Bu11et1]

the guitar in the song definatly wouldnt sound like that without the vocoder. itd sound like shit

[avdains]

i loved "spell my name right". it was one of my favourites from last year right next to common and kanye. keep doin your thing stat! peace from europe

[BeatMonarchs]

one of the best songs of the year

good artists

good lyrics

and beats sick as fuck

[RoqueJR91]

Best track 2008 ! 100%

Cass' Saigon' Termo' KEEP IT REAL !

[titankingz]

sick ass vid. been waiting for it ever since the track itself came out.

[liquorfood]

sik tune mehn....they all killed it on this 1...big up

[Riccio76]

terms a breath of fresh air and has the potential to be the next em...saigon kills it with his delivery and cass as always brings it with the crazy punchlines..hip hop needs more joints like this

[blindswordsman11]

crazy how many times cassidy says fan in his verse.. kills it still..

[derect24]

Now Thiiiis Issss Hiiip Hop..

Mad Concept For A Video..

yeeah for real, wens sagiddys album droppin i thought his shit would be out b4 gamez..

[DiebMillz]

SAIGIDDY!! man that dude be the realness he top my list easy, they all layed it down on this. STILL WAITIN FOR THE GREATEST STORY NEVER TOLD SAI!!!

[pharaohlatino360]

Cass, Sai, and Term all rip this. Statik steady bringing heat. More Grey Hairs coming soon...

[westbart]

Damn normaly idont really like cassidy. But this track is fire:)

[wito1988]

yep this is hip hop ,u cant hate it

cassidy verse killed me

[LuckyNumber7z]

Reks' album is my Fav of 08, no lie. Sky killed that verse on Money On the Ave tho. I probably listened to that album about 20 times today.

[rakedi]

Awsome. Big up

[jaytwelve]

I was kinda disappointing at first with the use of the auto tune, but I can't hate, I fuckin' love this song. Statik never lets the true hip hop heads down. He has really stepped his production game up too. His first LP was fire. Can't wait for the new LP, Terms joint too(Sept. 30). That whole extended fam is dope, Term, REKS, Granite State, Trap Jaw Affiliates,DC The MIDI Alien, East Coast Avengers, Apeshit, Rawn Hogan.

[juaramos]

Is that Skyzoo at 1:08?

[OGReppinNC]

Hot Track & Dope Video!

[mtod]

dope!
