Looks like he won’t be releasing any more albums for a while…he’s a suspect in a murder (AGAIN) and two attempted murders as well. They arrested him for violating parole but that’s just a formality before they press charges on him for at least one of those cases.

B.A.R.S. was great.. the lead single was one of the weakest tracks. Innocent Man is an epic song

Good Look for this post, being a Philly nigga myself I was a crazy fan of Cass. But, just like Jada, he can’t make an album. They tried to take advantage of the fact that unlike, every member of double r, he didnt look like an ex con. It backfired hard cause he abandoned his core. At least we got Meek Millz up next, i dont see him doing no chick songgs no time soon. Philly Stand Up, New York Mike’s coming for you.

“The R&B/Pop songs hit him hard but the fact that in 90% of his songs he’s using the same rhyme scheme and saying the same old shit didn’t help either.”

basically.

Dude was alright but I always thought he was overrated. He was lucky it was Freeway he battled ’cause if it would have been Beanie, that would have been a whole different story. Hell, on the low, Young Chris probably would have chipped him up a little bit.

Cassidy just didnt make it. It happens, this is hip-hop. We recycle our artists fast. If you dont have what it takes to maintain longevity, someone will come and take your spot dumb quick. Cassidy did have potential, but yeah I didnt even know dude was droppin an album. I’m a Hustla was my joint too, but this shit is commonplace in rap yall. Look at Papoose… homey was on the comeup, and ALMOST made it , but he slipped and now him and Cassidy are almost like peers. They started being popular and then just fell off. At least Cassidy put out a few albums though. Papoose had about 30 mixtapes but made the mistake of letting Kay Slay manage him. Oh well.

Honestly Cassidy is super talented. But he does use the same pattern/style every verse and those times when he attempted to switch up or do a double time rap it dont really sound good. Even so I think he is one of the games most gifted lyricists. He punch lines and timing are superb.

Hindsight is 20/20, I think Cass being so saw and being signed to J Records (an R&B label) set him up for failure. They didn’t know how to push street records, and Swizz didn’t make it clear to the execs the kind of project Cass fans expected.

To the Poster of the article:

You hit the nail right on the head. And im not hating at all. Listening to Cassidy literally made me go back to the lab and re-write my shit back in the day. I had all 10 minute freestyles and shit in my Ipod and i would listen to it over and over because he was so ill with it, but the article is right. Cass has or had that potential but he really hasnt gotten to that level yet of superstar. I still got hope for him. Cass needs to work on his songwriting and hooks. in fact, him and Lloyd Banks was in the EXACT SAME BOAT before. i remember having the Cassidy vs Lloyd Banks mixtapes from back 03-04. Banks got way better songwriting now and he has an incredible buzz, so i have faith that Cass can get to that level as well.

“no1 is checking for the kind of music that cassidy makes. hip-hop has found it’s feminine side; it’s softer, and cass along with people like DMX who’s trying to make a comback, don’t fit in”

^ feminine side? so Waka, Pill, KRIT, Vado, Pusha T spit feminine rap? LOL Joell Ortiz? Lloyd Banks? wow

Hip Hop & mainstream rap are 2 different things. Learn the difference.

He’s a raw dude, but his rhymes are still sameframe, If he keeps using the same rhymes in different songs. ppl who listen start catchin on and its not as Hard as it realy is. Hes been out the game awhile and im sure he hasnt been jus sitting round. YOUR FORGETING its Cass the mass. He probly jus doin his own thing. Give him this album before you start talkin shit. I dont see any of youse posting on the forum sayin hes shit own any albums get a 500,000 hit on a single.
