3:37Now PlayingGrandmaster Caz has been mentioned on countless tracks over the years, and the HipHop legend shared his thoughts on current rappers paying homage to the greats today.
The Bronx-born emcee explained that while there are mentions on songs, today's rappers aren't reaching out to help legendary rappers who are still viable. Caz also pointed out a line from Jay Z about his group, The Cold Crush Brothers, on "Izzo (H.O.V.A)" that says, "Label owners hate me, I'm raising the status quo up/I'm overcharging n***as for what they did to the Cold Crush."
While addressing the line, Grandmaster Caz explained that he feels the lyric was about "robbing the rich in the name of the poor," and he joked that he's never seen the "trickle down" effect from the project.
The topic of his name origin also came up in conversation, and Grandmaster Caz revealed how he went from "Casanova Fly" to the name he goes by today. He explained that he earned his name after "reaching a level of excellence" while spinning the turntables one night at a party.
