DJ Cassidy’s Pass The Mic Is A Testament To Hip Hop’s Timelessness

If anyone thinks that Hip Hop is dead, to quote a certain Queensbridge MC, then they are sadly mistaken. On July 20, I was there to witness DJ Cassidy bring the house down with the final show in his Pass The Mic Live! residency in Las Vegas at the Bakkt Theater, delivering an unforgettable performance that can only be described as legendary. The lineup featured the Hip Hop-themed “Rat Pack,” comprised of Cassidy, Doug E. Fresh, Slick Rick, Ja Rule and Fat Joe. With special guests Warren G, Jermaine Dupri, Da Brat, Remy Ma, Kurupt and Lil Vicious (all the way from Jamaica), it was a celebration of true Hip Hop at its finest, a rare treat that all generations need to witness firsthand. From the moment the show began, it was clear that this wasn’t just any old concert. DJ Cassidy brilliantly fused Hip Hop with a Rat Pack theme, introducing each artist in a manner that paid homage to their legacy and had the crowd on their feet. To see them all appear onstage during their respective sets looking debonair in their tuxedos only added to the electric energy in the room. AD LOADING… If you were lucky...
