Iron Solomon - Rule #4081 (ft. Cassidy)

While the next wave of battle rappers is waiting in line to be on a Smack DVD or the next Youtube sensation, the older wave is trying to cash in on that fame, with mixed results. Two of the most famous from that era, Iron Solomon and Cassidy are synonymous with freestyle supremacy, so it's only right that the two would find their way onto a track together. Ironically, the song is about what you need to do to make it onto the scene in hip-hop, with hilarious results. Solomon and Cass made light of the drama and controversy-laced entries into the music industry with this track. 'Rule #4081' describes all of the dirt you have to have in order to be famous, and we can all point out a few rappers who've used that formula to get on top. Whether it's getting shot, a sextape or what have you, can we get back to liking rappers because they can rap, not because of the stories behind them? I know that'll probably fall on deaf ears, but hearing a song like this has to resonate for some of the rappers who follow Dear Whoever.
