From SOHH 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.Can any of SoulStrut's hood correspondents verify the way in which Cassidy is poppin' off?

It's about four months old. But it is rumored to have the hood on smash.
"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.
uhhh...how exactly do you benefit from that? I guess you already have people going to the store, which may result in some impulse Cassidy buys on the margins. but if you're just picking up a rap album, only have enough cash for one, and are faced with this choice between Jay and Cassidy...not sure Cassidy "benfits."
having thought about it, I think I'm on to Cassidy. he must be planning to replicate the cover art from Jay's album, which has already been circulated. now that would almost certainly lead to some Cassidy sales on the joint release date. it may even be a close competition.
The only conceivable benefit to him is that he has a ready-made excuse for his inevitably poor sales; "See, what happened is I dropped on the same day as Jay...."
I believe he's talmbout "I DON'T GIVE A FUCK":

That song's not good.
I live in Philly. If Cassidy's going to be popping anywhere, it's here. So, that being said, "Drink N 2 Step" gets a lot of radio and club play here (and I personally like the song quite a bit). While I know Philly's got love for Cassidy and that particular song is hot "ON THE STREETS," we're not such home-towners that anybody is declaring that Cassidy is on par with Hov.
I think dude's just trying to get on Jimmy Rollins's "WE'RE THE TEAM TO BEAT" level or something.

Do the board's hood correspondents care to comment on this shocking turn of events?
I don't know if anyone here reads or knows about the Lefsetz report, but I'm currently in an email beef with him regarding Jay not being on iTunes....
