Swizz Beatz Doesn't Think Meek Mill Will Respond To Cassidy

If there is anyone who knows about Cassidy’s career in the game, it’s Swizz Beatz. The two worked closely when Cass first made a splash on the mainstream Rap market. Through time, their relationship also had ups and downs. Now Swizz is being asked about Cassidy’s latest feud with Meek Mill. During his interview with Global Grind, Swizz shared his take on the diss & whether or not Meek will respond. ”That’s how he felt. His passion is rapping and battling and I think he said everything that he meant,” Swizz explained, when asked about Cassidy’s “R.A.I.D.” diss track for Meek Mill. When asked if his reaction was “Oh my God,” Swizz said he’s used to battling. “I’m used to it. I been around battling all my life. It’s a creative sport,” he added. However, he does not think Meek will be replying. “I doubt it,” he said. “I don’t think he’s gonna respond.” Swizz also spoke on Chief Keef and how he has become a part of the gun control conversation. 

“I think it’s bigger than him,” he explained. “Chief Keef is just a name people can relate to because he’s in the entertainment business. But, I think the real reason is the youth, period, with nowhere to go, no plans, and they’re just resorting to living however they want to live. You go to a different country and they don’t have no support, no food, it’s the same thing. It’s just that we’re knowing about it more because there’s a celebrity name involved, but I wouldn’t even put that on him. This has been going on for years. They shut down the whole Cabrini–Green a long time ago. This been happening. But the key thing is how is it going to stop happening? Is it arts? Is it music? That’s the thing to figure out.”

Meek Mill To No Longer Address Cassidy Beef, Says Cassidy's Not Welcomed In Philadelphia

After feuding with Cassidy for several weeks now, it appears that Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill is beginning to tire of his feud with the Philly emcee who once referred to their lyrical battle as being “good for Hip Hop.” While speaking with HipHopSince1987.com, Meek revealed that it’s no longer enjoyable releasing diss records aimed at Cassidy and that at this point he believes the rapper is merely trying to benefit from their quarrel.

“If we [release] diss records and whatever and after your diss record the next day you gotta try and drop a new song and you try to benefit off me that’s when it becomes not a game anymore,” Meek Mill explained. “You ain’t benefitting off of me. That little shit, your interviews, that go in four or 50 days…So when it becomes that it ain’t fun no more to me. It’s a nigga trying to steal from me basically.”

After stating that he would no longer speak on his beef with Cassidy in interviews, Meek Mill addressed Ar-Ab’s recent comments on Cassidy and revealed that Cass is no longer welcomed in the city of Philadelphia.

“He can’t come back to the city really,” said Meek. “Last five times he been back to the city he was back here with me or either Ar-Ab. He ain’t addressed everything Ar-Ab said in none of his raps because he won’t address it, he scared to address it. He won’t dare address that. And Ar-Ab ain’t saying nothing new he been saying shit like this. He only saying it because of the camera.” In the span of their beef both Meek Mill and Cassidy have released a handful of diss records including “Raid,” “Me, Myself & iPhone,” and “Repo.”

Meek Mill Suing Philadelphia Police For False Imprisonment

Meek Mill claims that back in October 2012, Philadelphia police jailed him without cause and posted his photos on Instagram. The Maybach Music Group rapper, born Robert Williams, is now suing the City of Philadelphia and police Officers Andre Boyer and Michael Vargas in Federal Court for civil rights violations, false imprisonment, invasion of privacy and civil conspiracy and is seeking punitive damages. Courthouse New Service reports that in his complaint, Meek (the plaintiff) states that on October 31, 2012 he was driving a Range Rover when he was pulled over around 7:30 p.m. by Officers Boyer and Vargas “without cause or justification” near the intersection of 11th Street and Girard Avenue. Meek was handcuffed and taken into custody. The rapper claims during this time—he was held for nine hours—the officers took photos of him that made it onto Instagram and other social media outlets. Meek was eventually released in the early morning of the next day (4:30am, Nov. 1) without being charged with any crime. As Hip-Hop Wired previously reported, on November 1, 2012, Meek took to Twitter to say that he was “harassed and violated” by Philly police.

Because of the hold up, Meek claims he missed a promotional appearance in Atlanta. While he was being held, Meek missed the private jet he booked to fly him down to the ATL  that nice and was forced to refund its deposit. Missing the date, and being locked up, meant “the loss of numerous sponsorships and endorsements; the loss of plaintiff’s solitude, seclusion and privacy; the anxiety and embarrassment associated with plaintiff being placed in a false light; and the anxiety and embarrassment of being seized, detained, confined and imprisoned against plaintiff’s will.” For his trouble. Meek is seeking monetary compensation for “civil rights violations, false imprisonment, invasion of privacy and civil conspiracy.” Just last night, Meek Mill dropped a new song called “From Da Bottom,” that will be appear on his forthcoming Dreamchasers 3 mixtape. The “Amen” rapper’s debut album, Dreams and Nightmares, was released on October 30, 2012.  via:hiphopwired

Swizz Beatz Recalls Jay-Z & DMX's Battle, Shopping Beats To Jay-Z

Even though there’s no video recording of it, Jay-Z and DMX‘s infamous ’90s rap battle is the stuff of legends in Hip Hop. Now, in a recent interview with VladTV via Nah Right, producer Swizz Beatz speaks on the mythical battle between two of his most frequent collaborators. Although Swizz explained that he missed the actual battle itself, he remembers seeing peoples’ excitement immediately after the battle took place. The Bronx-born super-producer also explained that it was these early connections with the Ruff Ryders that helped introduce him to Hova in the early part of both artists’ career.

“Nah, [I wasn't there for Jay-Z and DMX's battle]. I just missed it,” he recalled. “I don’t know [who won]. My uncles [Waah and Dee Dean, Ruff Ryder CEOs] made everybody turn their cameras off; that’s like the worst shit. You’ve just seen the end of it when the cameras come on and the dude’s rapping some shit…it was real. You could’ve made a movie around that moment. I just remember the energy from everybody coming from that to see [DMX] and to see Hov; [it was] like Meek [Mill] and Cassidy at that time. I’m just happy to be able to witness these moments because I was super young, so I was able to get all that from [a] young [age], and still be young and do what I’m doing.”

“I was just speaking to Jay yesterday…and it was like, ‘We’ve working [together] for 14 years, dog; that shit is crazy.’ I remember walking into his office with a cassette with 40 beats and he bought the whole joint right off the spot. That’s how we met…this was like, ’96-97 ‘cus the shit started coming out in ’98…I think it was right after Reasonable Doubt, because he definitely had that Reasonable Doubt swag in that office.” via:hiphopdx
