Ever wonder why Swizz Beats calls himself that? It's probably because he has a lot of holes in his head. The kid is delusional. I have a problem with Swizz because he bigs up Cassidy way beyond belief.
"She [Mary J. Blige] was a fan of Cassidy's and he was a fan of hers. So we reached out to the queen. We got the king; let's get the queen rocking." - MTV.com
I'm supposed to believe that Mary J. Blige is a fan of Hotel and Gets No Better? This is similar to when Fat Joe said that R. Kelly ran into him at an airport and told him they needed to hook up.
In XXL some music executive recalls Swizz comparing Cassidy to Rakim. WTF!
Am I missing something? I mean some idiot put Cassidy in his Top 5 Dead Or Alive. I wouldn't put Cassidy in my Top 100 Emcees Standing Under 5 Feet Tall.

Like it or the kid is the freestlye Champ and no one has yet to contend with him in that areana. I'm not saying he is the next Rakim or nothing but the boy got some style and is not doubt fire when it come to frestyling hands down.
Ayo I wouldnt compare him to Rakim either because that day is gone! but any street dude know that cassidy is the truth! I dont know where yo are from but in NY I Know 90% of cats will put him in thier top 20 list lyrically! you cant go just by his albums! check the old mixtapes! admin!
Cassidy is not a song writer. Battle MC... yes. Song writer... NO. I still think he's garbage
Man, Jig got the right idea. Dudes down here in Kansas is feeling Cass's flows. His albums admittedly, are pretty wack, but his punchlines be killin 'em. Don't believe me? If you got Kazaa or Bearshare, or whatnot, then check out these tracks:
1.Cassidy 11 minute freestyle (its 11 minutes of straight mic-murder, crazy)
2.Ruff Ryders All Star Freestyle
3.Cassidy vs. Freeway Pts. 1,2,and 3
4.Best of In The Lab Vol. 1 freestyle
5.Cassidy feat. Game, Lil Flip - State Your Name Gangsta
who ever thinks cassidy garbage
then battle him you'll end up like freeway dj nahlege i like your top five
the sad thing about it is that he has plenty to come i have all his old ones
and the punchlines are crazy
I wouldn't call Cassidy the "King" yet or even compare him to Rakim. But, to be honest Cass is nice with the P.E.N. and I've heard some of his old freestyle battles against Freeway, and let's just put it like this... he ate Freeway up! So leave the boy alone, let him have a big head. He has the talent to back it up.
Cassidy is blazin the mixtape circuit. Lloyd Banks got crowned because of all the G - Unit hype, not to diss him he's nice too. but banks and the hustla in the ring it'll be a 1st round K.O.!
Rakim comparisons? Nah. But I will admit, Cassidy is nice. I just wish he and most rappers in the game now would put more of their rawest material on their albums.
i don't give a phuck..what dudes say..cass..yeah he got flow..his punchlines is hot...but swizz beats is draggin his career str8 to hell with those corny a$$ hooks...and lackluster beats.."i'm a hustler" is hot. no doubt..but i was severely disappointed when i bought that "split personality"..it was like 98 canibus all over again. he blazed all tha mixtapes..all tha freestyles..then when his album dropped..the sh*t was horrible..HORRIBLE!
Anybody with their ear to hip-hop...and I don't mean MTV...can tell Cassidy's got some skills. He's got a lot more skill than any of G-Unit, ex-G-Unit, and I'd cream myself to see the kid go against Eminem in a freestyle battle--I think he could actually hold his own against Em, what you think about that. His battle against Freeway was a slaughter--had Freeway beggin for a beat to be put on so he could keep his flow...straight humiliated him. Though he commercial release should be slept on--bought up and buried under a rock shit. I'm not too fond of Swizzbeats--but Cassidy with a Premier machine-gun beat would be fire--heard it here first...
to all you talking that cassidy is the hottest freestlyin emcee blah blah, ya'll must have some pretty shitty emcees in your town....
i think cassidy is nice and no doubt he killed freeway's career amean dude was begging for a beat lol!anyway i doubt if cass could do the same to jae millz,maybe he might but i doubt it,the kid's ego is wayy off the radar though amean he was trying to call up hov? the dude that just made cassidy's probably hottest record yet?swizz should try to keep him level headed or he will end up just like canibus and i member bus also had the same buzz going on for him until clef fucked it up for him_ma two cents
he aight I guess. He's no "The Kid" from Tulsa, Oklahoma (rawest, yungest battler on EARTH!!)..but then again he's bringing somethin to the table to shut a lot of mouths......
Cassidy is riding a high right now...when is debut hit I think he was tryin to let people know that he could put SONGS together thats why his first two singles were "hotel" and "dont get no better"...everybody knows the boy can eat a beat on a mixtape and I feel that the second album will let everyone know hes the truth.
fucc a ALBUM.MAD NIGGAZ IS NICE BUT THE LABEL DICTATE HOW THEY WANT YOUR ALBUM TO SOUND. CASSIDY IS NO DOUBT NICE AND HE STILL YOUNG. LISTEN TO ANY OF HIS SHI ON MIXTAPES. ANY FREESTYLES HE WILL KILL SOMEBODY ON THE MIC FOR REAL.
yo, cass is one of the best battle rappers. but battling don't sell records. legendary freestyles is one thing, but that's it! tell that nigga to get on his hustle and sell some records.
Is it me or does T.I, YoungGuns and Cassidy beats made by Swiss-Beats sound the same? That dick ridin Jay-z hook is lame a fuck! I can't honestly judge Cassidy skills simply because I can't listen to him over those wack ass beats. Everytime I hear that beat or that wack ass Pretty Ricky shit I have to change the station. I have to check for Cassidy and get back!
Cassidy is crap! A lot of people dont really understand that crunk muzik when heard is something u expect from EVERYONE and when you dont get that feeling from a single rapper then they aint shit. Cassidy aint top 10 nor top 25. U got to many people in the game betta than him.. He freestyle king? WTF Lil Flip got that shit locked he got a fucking award for that.. When he was with swishahouse and teaming up wit dj SCREW. (RIP) Cassidy dont got nothing we havent already seen untill he can get up with Ludacris then maybe he can get attention. But let him diss someone that has weight in this game like luda and he will have his ass like T.I. on stomp! Yall basing his freestylin against freeway man everyone in rocafella is weak except the owna which is retired and wasnt the "BEST" like everyone says he was.. Rocafella is similar to Def Jam... NO one on they rosta...
BUT TO KEEP THIS SHORT:
u want freestyling or sick lyrics Chamillionaire got that shit rapped up.. Dont belive me then check out Mixtape Missiah, Controversy Sells (which a company dropped without his permission) The Truth, and Get ya Mind Correct. He killed Dyke Jones and hes signing to universal records so be on the look out to be like dam this nigga is crazy...
Dont like wat i just said then u probably dont understand muzik for real.. like i said check out some of those cds and u will know what im talking about
J.O. anotha TX nigga
210 - Say town 2 da fullist ya heard!
all of yall who say cassidy is weak are officially ignorant and know absolutely nothing about rap. granted, he is nowhere near the best in the game but give him his props. you can't honestly say that he is garbage unless you are clinically retarded. check out his mixtapes. if you don't like the beats, download an acapella version. but for pete's sake, stop hating on the big homie. hez doing his thing!!
lil flip is wack
and luda aint better than cassidy you dumb nigga
lil flip is wack
and luda aint better than cassidy you dumb nigga
and chamillionaire aint nobody
J.O.: I'm sorry, dogg, but I can't say this any other way. YOU'RE RETARDED. Chamillion had to put out a three-cd set(Mixtape Messiah, with an E, you spelled it wrong) just to get people's attention. One of those cd's is entirely devoted to dissing Mike Jones. In reply, Mike Jones only released a few diss tracks back: 99 Problems Freestyle, Advantage Jones(Still Talkin Down), and a couple others, all of which he destroyed Chamillion on. Anyone who knows anything, would realize that Paul Wall was the only reason Chamillion blew up, without Paul Wall, he ain't shit. Get Yo Mind Correct was good, but you obviously don't know your shit or you'd also know that Flip was neva on Swisha House, he was jus cool with them. He was part of Dj Screw's Screwed Up Click. Fat Bastard from DSR would tear Chamillion up, so would any of the Freestyle Kingz, especially Chalie Boy.
One thing you should acknowledge now, is that you have no idea what you're talkin about, matter fact, I'm willin to bet you're like this dude I know, who tried to tell me that Mannie Fresh is a better producer than Dr. Dre.
Cassidy would fuck up anybody on or near Swisha House, DSR, Freestyle Kingz, whoever. Checkout the freestyles I listed on my earlier post, then come talk to me.
MAYN listen Cassidy is ite and what not but the cat is crazy for callin out 50. 50 is ending careers left n right n for Cassidy to do that aint so slick cuz the cat just came up. But what I ain't feelin about Cassidy and 90% of the rap game is that they go and make a soft ass club banger like "hotel" and then expect cats to take em seriously so to me this is Cassidy's first cd and I ain't hear it yet but judging from his last cd and u guys it sounding 2 good. 50 n G unit on top of this shit and waiting for "the boy wonder" Lloyd Banks to come out wit his diss to shut mouths up.
O and another thing Canibus still the illest of all time go pick up Rip The Jacker. Oh and check for his new shit Hip Hop 4 sale
Carlo:
You have some good points. The whole thing with "soft-ass club bangers" is what's called the conversion of hip hop to the main stream. I'm not so sure about the "ending careers left and right" thing, though. People aren't taking 50 as seriously as they during the beef with Murder Inc., mostly because Fat Joe, Jadakiss, and Nas are all veterans that command a very large following despite album sale statistics. Fat Joe is one of the main representatives of big name Latino hip hop. Nas said 50 isn't worthy enough for him to diss, that's even more insulting than if he would make a diss track. And Jadakiss, the boy's ill, that Made U Look remix hot!
I figure I should be the one to tell you this, but with Cassidy and soon Lil Wayne against him too, 50 don't stand much chance.
Canibus is ill too. It's almost too bad Em had to kill off his shit. 2nd Round Knockout is one of my favorite's, and he was tight on 4,3,2,1.
Lil Flip??? Chamillionaire?????? Screwed up Click?????????? All them niggas is ASS. Cassidy would rip Flip to shreds. Lil wayne ending 50 Cent??? This net shit is too funny
All I got to say is tough faces don't mean your lyrics is tight. Dude said he became the best once BIG died.That means he thinks he's better than Jay-Z. He's alright but he's not real...
LISTEN,CASS IS ONE OF DA HOTTEST LYRICEST IN DA GAME RIGHT NOW.HE WILL MURK ANY OF DEM SWISHA NIGGAZ AND ANY RAPPER DAT WANT TO TEST HIM.AND ANOTHER THING,YA NIGGAZ TALKIN LIKE IF SWISS AINT HOT!!SWISS IS A MONSTA WIT DA BEATS MAN!!!!IF YA DONT LIKE HIS SHIT DEN YA EARS MUST BE INFECTED.IMMA KEEP IT REAL A PRODUCER CANT MAKE A HOT BEAT ALL THE TIME BUT MOST OF SWIZZY BEATS IS KILLIIN DA STREETS.
TOP 5 MIXTAPE MC'S
1.CASSIDY
2.PAPOOSE
3.LLOYD BANK$
4.STYLES P.
5.GRAVY
yo cass is nice wid punchlines. but i cant imagine him shottin crack. he looks like he shud be in b2k.
jadakiss- why "...why do niggas lie in 85% percent of the time."
if he needs 2 make industry records 2 b successful. he aint real. look at 36 chambers, illmatic, slim shady lp, ready 2 die, reasonable doubt. the maybe different eras but classical
incomparision cass is weak. the niggas got this NY punchline flow and he lives in philly.
the next REAL punchline niggas is papoose, graph and saigon. these niggas also claim 2 b dealers but they talk about whats REALLY goin on.
as 4 swiss beats he eatin rite now. cass works 4 swiss. its all about business and profit so swiss will talk reckless about "...king". wot da monsta did 4 the ruff ryder days and jay-z's shit was crazy and real. but he now kinda sounds like he dont know 2 play instruments. if u can play the ruff ryders anthem on a keyboard u will c why.
A man i like Cassidy and his beats but i think he could at least add something to his albulm. 'That nigga, is the mam holla back'
A,dude this is the boy boon looking to give a shotout to my man Cassidy and his producer Swizz Beats and i hope they get this this and holla back at me.
Cass is WAY overrated. His battle against Freeway was without a BEAT. How you do a acapella battle? His punchlines are no sicker than a lloyd banks or a fabolous. This nigga Cass is a scrub and niggaz need to hop off his dick. At best he's AVERAGE.
Phil:
Are you serious? "How you do a acapella battle?" Seriously, I want you to answer this, it's not a rhetorical question. Cuz I can 'splain it to ya, if that's what you need, some 'splainin.
Cassidy would handle Fabolous, and he would win against Bank$ in a battle, because Bank$ ain't no battle rapper. I gotta lotta love for Bank$, I mean 2004 Warm Up, from Green Lantern's Countdown To Armageddon, remains one of my favorite freestyles ever, but Bank$ got no battle experience.
You said he's at best average. Hold up, if he's average, then who do you think is top notch? Don't even try to say 50.
Look, I'ma be real wit y'all, I got Cass in my ear right now, and he sayin some crazy shit. It's long but, fuck you, read it.
"And since taxes gettin raised this year/ ain't none of y'all rappers gettin payed this year./ I swear, if I eva put a gun to you brutha/ its ta rob you or kill you, one or the other./ You could get stuck up if ya watch got ice/ You could go bankrupt if ya rocs not white/ If ya shot not nice, you might listen/ Man I'm a serial killa, I pop like rice krispies./ Y'all write like sissies, all glamour and glitz/ Scrubbin dirt like janitors wit hammers and clips./ Don't abandon ya whip, and park it on the block/ Cuz we steal cars, and throw our own auctions on the block./ Who talkin to da cops?/ A bunch a you daunted/ The corners so hot, I don't even feel comfortable on it./ 5-0 passin by when Cass get high/ but I be in a differnt world like Jasmin Guy./ If you aksin ta die, I'm the person ta see/ You clowns sound like waterd-down versions of me./ Ya punchlines was originally mine/ I'll have you chumps hooked to that machine wit da squiggly lines./ If I put you on my hitlist, you'll walk around rockin football equipment/ We all got biscuits, the snub in the guess/ And we'll squeeze arms like blood presha tests./ I guess you want Cass ta slump ya chump ass/ I'll dump a clip in ya lip, then moustache.(Ohh!)/ Touch my cash, and taste the chrome/ The 8 make ya face hot like straightenin combs./ I wanna make this known/ If I don't blow, uck it/ I got ounces of dro that go for 400./ When the coke come in/ Im on the block all night/ Wit rocks dat are like the size of monopoly dice./ If ya watch nice/ Then a cannon ta yo ribs./ I'll make you stip naked like D'Angelo did./ I handle mo bread than you/ And get mo head than you/ Cuz I do shit you scared ta do."
For all of u that dont no and r stupid and dont watch 106 & park or the smack dvds cass said that his new album is gonna be for the streets so stop sayin he cant make songs cause i heard like 5 songs off the album and they all fire. O yea cass is nice and ne one sleepin on him is straight up stpid.
look, cass is aight on some mixtape/battlin tip, but all the legends (BIG,Pac,Jigga,Nas,Rakim,KRS etc)are measured by their albums.A nice punchline does not make you the king. Can anyone possibly compare Cass's debut (split personality) with Ready to Die, reasonable Doubt,or illmatic? I don't even think Game is nice like that but the documentary was better than Cassidy's album.
Cassidy aint shit his freestyle are written as said by one of his former rap partners.
Oh yeah if u dont sell records u will never be remembered. what split personality sold 347 copies. Ha. Jay-z will kill him , i can kill him and if u think that i cant kill him if he ever read this tell him contact me stefonpl@yahoo.com and set it up. u pretty boy disguised as a street nigga.
Let's just simply say that Cassidy may be good at Freestyling but His commercial is Garbage. I put him along the same lines with Jin and Canibus. Excellent freestylers and battle raps but the music on wax is trash!!! I don't put all the blame on the artist. It's the producer and management that F's it up for them. Excellent rappers, wrong producers. Who in the hell want to hear a battle rapper singing about a dam hotel or that Lame @$$ R&B song he has wiht Swiss wife.
Yaw haters cassidy is the best out there maybe if you put him wit a better prmoter he would be getting the probs he deserve i mean come on he was in a group wit jae hood an a couple others jus mean man but n e way but yaw favorite rapper against him and backs will be gettin ate
^^^^^: Once again,but in English maybe?
He straight he aint no Lil wayne or nothing or no Ludacris he is decent
U so stupid Luda will kill Cassidy on freestyling luda is a rapper nobody will beef with luda because he is humorous and clever ask T.I. on that stomp Ludacris can take over the game
Man, I dont give a SHIT!!! what anybody says, fuck a battle rap, fuck all that, nigga cassidy is str8 WACK!, GARBAGE!! he's not even top 20. Am I trippin? I mean I just dont see it. Niggas is on Mike jones (who?) mike jones' dick and this niggas HELLA WACK!!...man y'all fuckin' up the game foreal, I'm about to say fuck rap, anyway Casidy is trash, I'm a hustla is wack.if niggas wanna know the REAL top five it's like this:
1.Hov
2.Eminem
3.Elzhi (slum village)
4.Snoop (sick with the freestyle on the low)
5.Talib/Mos Def.
KANYE IS BETTER THAN CASSIDY!!!,lol.
-back the they didn't want me,now im hot they all on me (repeat 20x)
shit's goin' down the fuckin toilet like the tidy bowl man.
AND WHY ARE NIGGAS STILL TALKING ABOUT SELLIN' DRUGS IN THEIR RAPS??!!!??!!
That has to be the dumbest shit ever. you would never know a real hustler because real hustlers dont say shit...they just fuckin' hustle.
Lil wayne is the best rapper out im telling u and my boy Luda u put them on a track together it is going to be fire cassidy is straight but he aint no rapper Lil wayne is the shit
Lil Weezy is the best rapper out cause he got a sick flow fans are sending him get well letters so he can feel better he said in one of his youngmoney verses ( Weezy f kind of nice with the glock but im better than that with the rock trying to land me a spot at the roc and my city got heard of that niggaz want me to hook them up with fox) I dont even have to say no more pick it up Youngmoney dedeication mixtape
Lil Wayne is the king of the mixtapes and the south rappers are better than them up north rappers Luda T.I. Lil wayne and Buck are the truth and cassidy cant rap he is straight
Jt: Is Lil Wayne dickin you on the low or somethin?
Im telling the truth Dj Nahlege thats my nigga and when the carter 2 come out u would know why Who your favorite rappers
Yeah weezy did get his flows up,I gotta admit.
I'm feelin' that "earthquake" joint on the album.
OH MY DAYZ. WHO THE HELL DECIDED 2 PUT CANIBUS IN THE SAME CATERGORY AS JIN. ..................................R U SERIOUS???????????????
JIN AN CASS R IN THE SAME SHIT CATERGORY. COZ WIV OUT PUNCHLINES THEY AINT SHIT. THEY BOTH FRESHMANS. BUT PUT PAPOOSE, IMMORTAL TEKNIQUE AN CANIBUS ON A TRACK. AN THAT IS THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT.
TRUST ME ON THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!
