Cassidy Leaning on Parking Meters

Cassidy: “It’s Not Smart For Jay-Z To Come Out on Nov. 6th”

Cassidy was interviewed by SOHH and said he didn’t think it would be smart for Jay-Z to drop American Gangster on the same date as his album. Did you know Cassidy had an album coming out Nov. 6th? Now you do..

“I think right now with the way that I got the hood on smash and the way that my song is popping, I don’t think it would be a smart decision for Hov to drop on Nov. 6th. With the type of buzz, the type of songs he got out right now. It ain’t like when Vol. 1 or Vol.2 dropped. It’s a lot different. But it’s gonna be beneficial. The same way that Kanye and 50 both benefited from dropping on the same day, I think if I drop with somebody as legendary as Hov I can’t do nothing but benefit.”

I’ll preface this by saying Cassidy has talent, “Drink and My 2 Step” is ripping in clubs, but this type of confidence is a perfect example of rappers, local singers, whatever, who get a local buzz, friends telling them how great they are, a song hot in three area codes, allowing that high to blow their heads up into cuckoo puffs. He’s talking about benefiting? Jay-Z’s audience is not Cassidy’s.

He’s worldwide, Cassidy is lucky if he’s known in Kansas. Cassidy is not in the same lane, and Hov’s age, lackluster material, even if he can torch him in a battle, doesn’t give him any advantage in a race.

This idea that Jay-Z vs. Cassidy is in any way comparable to 50 vs. Kanye is damn near Sherri Sheppard-esque, simply because Jay-Z isn’t even gonna acknowledge something like that.

I feel like I’m saying the sky is blue, water is wet ..the world is round, there is nothing to debate.

Cassidy ain’t got no business in the same breathe he need to watch what he say. Die hard jigga fans don’t like that type of confidence. Especially when you ain’t ever had any type of sucess as Jigga. Let it be known. Jay-Z is the best Rapper alive.

idk ... cass is on some other shit. He needs to understand the weight classes of hip hop. Jay Z is only compatable to 2 ppl in this game and thats eminem and nas. A real high stake but low budget hip hop showdown will be lil wayne and cassidy .. there both welter weights and pack a mean ‘‘PUNCH’’ line.
Cass is liricly fit to take on rappers like banks,weez,papoose, but jigga .. na he lost his marbles in the accident.

don’t u dare put that lil punk in the same class as lil wayne, wayne going gold or close to plat his first week just off anticipation alone, cass won’t even sale a 100 thou his 1st week.

i meen ...u gotta understand that cass did everything lil wayne is doin now a while back .. wayne is goin gold ... his album is goin plat on bootleg cds ... cass had the streets b4 and the mixtape world like wayne .. im tellin u they in the same weight class (even if wayne got alot more money than cass)
