Cassidy tells J. Hova "not to drop on Nov. 6"...

[quickdodge®]

Cassidy has a little advice for mogul Jay-Z. The Swizz Beatz protégé thinks the Def Jam prez should push his album back.

"I think right now, the way that I got the hood on smash and the way that my song is poppin' off, I don't think it would be a smart decision for Hov to drop on November 6," Cassidy told SOHH. [Watch Here]

Cass' new project, The Barry Adrien Reese Story (B.A.R.S.) is slated to hit shelves the same day as Hov's concept album American Gangster.

And though Jay's "unofficial soundtrack" to the flick of the same name has been getting good reviews, Cass said American Gangster is not as anticipated as any of Hov's classics.

"It ain't like when [The Blueprint] Vol. 1 or Vol. 2 was gonna drop, it's a lot different," Cassidy said.

Cassidy's third solo effort is the follow up to I'm a Hustla, in which he sampled Hov's voice on the title track.

Cassidy compared the projected sales stand-off to that of 50 Cent and Kanye West.

"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 from that," Cass said. "I'm happy that Hov, a person that really takes lyricism seriously, is coming back out again."

Hov isn't the only one Cass says isn't fit to come against him. The rapper recently smashed rumors of a battle rap with Joe Budden, saying the only emcee fit to battle him was himself.

i personally think this one will be on the same level...this aint like 50 and kanye. right now Cass and Jay is on the same level sale wise. Cass is still up and coming and he gota lot to prove b/c of his previous *gay* albums. his mixtape is hot as **** tho

[KPowerEP3]

Damn Nov. 6? I've had that **** on bootleg for like 2 months already. I like Jay's album, it's got a cool kinda feel to it, and a really good mixture of songs and styles.

[Dirty Octopus™]

i know i for one would get Cass' album before Jay's. i am not too pleased at all with the track that Jay has on the radio. Pharrell could have came harder on the beat to help the old rapper sound more appealing.

but iono ¯\_o.O_/¯

[Bruce Leroy]

he is just doing this to sell albums. Yeah his song is hot in the streets (that **** gets on my nervs tho) But if you want to make $$$ you have to apeal to mianstream america, wich J does more than cassidy.

[Sammich]

i truthfully like jays new joint and his video, it takes it old school IMO. ill still be buying JayZ's cd and will be burning cassidy's

Yeah his mixtape is hot, but to make $$ you gotta sell to the mainstream ** cough** white people **cough**, and they probablly never even head it.

Making money and selling albums is not about being the best lyricist. If It were, "rappers" like souljaboy would not even be around.

[Sammich]

souljaboy is a rapper..he aint no hip hop artist..but yea...most people who buy is white people, no hate. some dont really know what it is..same w/ blacks too. but all in all..his drink and two step song, gota hot beat so itll help sell for sure..

[jaystar]

^ did u jus start a sentence with soulja boy is a rapper ???? oh hell no

[Gutling]

drink and two step is as annoying as f*ck, i done heard it eight times a day. Ive always liked a artist more for some of his off-radio, on down the track list on a cd songs. I generally get so tired from hearing the same song on the radio

[1SICKLEX]

Cassie or Cassidy? Lol...

[Sammich]

^ did u jus start a sentence with soulja boy is a rapper ???? oh hell no

yea theres a diff btwn rapper and hip hop ARTIST. he rhymes

[con]

lol @ Cassidy....although I don't care for him or Jay Z's current singles, I'll be watching the charts when they drop.

[Dracc]

i'd buy cass album just because son is hot.. I'd bootleg Hov's album just because he's hov

[Sammich]

^reverse that statement for me

[bigdare23]

I'm going to Cass album on day one because I hooked on that mixtape sh*t. Alot of people sleep on him, but he does put out good music. As for Hov, he's going to sell if his album great or trash just because he's Hov. Hopefully, this Jay-Z album is better then last years.
