Casper says:
Username is CaSper... been on the ave for about a year now... Came on to help me elevate and im gettin better with time
SKIP says:
And you rap in real life? How long have you been spitting?
Casper says:
yes, matter of fact I do... I spit in my school yards tryna get my name heard... cipher whenever possible... getting more serious with this rap stuff... going to be promoting my mixtape around my neighborhood by the end of the summer... and i have been spittin for about 3 years now... since i was 11... just started spittin on a mic this year... but ive been writing verses for 3 years now
SKIP says:
Word? And where are you from?
Casper says:
I'm from Mississauga , Canada... A lil town by toronto ... a lot of rappers have came out from there growing up... including classified, JD era, Cardinal Official and many more.... Im just waitin for my time to shine, ya know?
SKIP says:
I know just what you mean
SKIP says:
And who did you come up listening to?
Casper says:
i listen to alot of rap... not much mainsteme though... Tupac, Big L, Big pun, Nas, AZ, Lupe fiasco, Em, and a lot of the HHA members including Sacrafyc, Wordgames, Noonz tha jackal, Sunny Black, Tellavision, and many more.... I jus like listening to music i can relate to and the truth... and ofcourse that raw lyrical talent
SKIP says:
Yeah, thats something since we live in 2 completely different places me being from Miami and all but alot of the rappers you listen to I listen to aswell hip hop really touches alot of people in different situations and places
Casper says:
yeah, no doubt
SKIP says:
What are your opinions on mainstream rap tho i heard you say something about not listenin to too much of it
Casper says:
Well personally, I aint diggin all this mainsteam stuff... "leaning and rocking" bullshit... Rap has gotten to the point where it's 90 percent business, and 10 percent skill... Hip hop will never be the same, but I respect all the cats puttin out the truth in their music.... keep doin what you doin
SKIP says:
I agree with you on that point, but what do you think would make Hip Hop better as a whole?
SKIP says:
wat can get it back to the point where lyrical ability is top priority?
Casper says:
I don't think that will ever happen... because alot of people do like the mainstream music... we all have different opinions... but preferably, I'd like it back to the old... where cats used to rap fah real
SKIP says:
I feel you on that, so whats in your cd player right now? What do you jam to on the go
Casper says:
Man i got about 4500 songs right now... so whatevers playing, Ill listen too... but right now, Ive been listening to alot of Immortal technique... That cat amazes me as far as lyrical content
SKIP says:
Yeah IT is very good, I heard you say your working on a mixtape, whats the name and when will it be out
Casper says:
The mixtape's entitled "give up the ghost"... HHA member Fresh made it for me... it will have about 20 songs to jam too... and as i said, it will be out near the end of August... And look out for the never done before, "500 bars"... yes you heard it from me, 500 bars... straight pittin
SKIP says:
and where can fans of your music pick this up
Casper says:
Well I aint sellin it globally or nothing lol... but it will be sold around my neighborhood... and i will be making a soundclick dedicated just for the songs on that mixtape... The mixtape will be going for $5.99 on soundclick
SKIP says:
So all yall readin this be on the lookout 4 my dawg
SKIP says:
any way, any tips you got 4 up and coming rappers just tryn to do it too
Casper says:
don't let anyone put a tag on you... be yourself coming up in the game and fans will respect you... And make sure you're able to take the criticism cuz there will be lots
SKIP says:
And anything going on forum wise on the Ave you wanna speak on? Battles, Beef, A rapper you c you like, or 1 u wouldnt mind battling?
Casper says:
First of all... I'd just like to give a shot out to Sac... I know he's doing it big tryna get that major deal... respex to him... and as far as battling... anyone who wants it'll get it... The call out forums just one click away
SKIP says:
And thats that you mind givin em a little taste?
Verse
Casper:
Cas is steering obstacles Most would thinks near impossible,
To clearly probably... reach laws, My streaks phenomonal,
Lyric Logical, speach God when speaking proper Flows
Honestly if school was rap, I'd probably reach the Honour roll,
Fiddle with syllables, often different like finger prints,
Rifting rhythmical riddles into infinite literates,
Scriptual rituals come with*pinnacle penmenship
Subliminal messages, In difficult sentences,
Move at fast paces like drag races,
Cuz my rap rages can stack pages like notes from math majors,
Ask satan he said Im taking over,
soon as my fate is over... So I'll be patient untill the gates are open,
Drain emotions that soak my brain,
and wrote the pain to flow the page like ocean waves,
So insane, most wait till no more days left,
So Ill cope the day I approach my grave steps...
