Opis:
Cassidy to typowy uliczny eMCe, sławny z walk na wolnym, a także z częstym udzielaniu się na mixtape'ach różnych artystów. Z tego powodu jego pierwszy legal, "Split Personalisty" w klimacie miłosnym i klubowym, był dużym zaskoczeniem.

Płyta osiągnęła status "złotego" krążka, a autor płyty został skrytykowany przez środowisko (właśnie za tematykę płyty). Dowodem przynależności Cassidy'ego do ulicy na pewno jest druga płyta "I'm A Hustla". Cassidy trafił również do więzienia, za domniemane zabójstwo. W swoim dorobku ma także beef z 50 Centem, a ten beef zaczął się od kawałka "B-Boy Stance". Klip nagrany przez rapera to parodia 50Centa i całego G-Unit. 50Cent w swojej twórczości też wyśmiewał styl, który prezentuje Cassidy. Raper wyraził chęć bitwy freestylowej o 1mln dolarów.

Description:
While everyone else is busy writing Jay-Z reviews, providing us with limited views supported by minimal quality listens, I'm going to write an album review in Cassidy's honor.

Barry Anderson Reece, aka Cassidy, has obviously grown as a man and an artist since his last album. He has suffred through a car crash that left him in critical condition and being jail for 8 months after being convicted of involuntary manslaughter. Cassidy seems to have smartened up and began to bloom into an all around artist because of the accelerated learning curve that these unfortunate events seem to produce. Cassidy now realizes that he doesn't always have to spit hard, punchline rhymes to be respected. He says, "See Christ died on the cross, that's keepin it gangsta!" Today's Cassidy is an introspective student of life who has learned through his trials and tribulations. Thankfully he has survived and prevailed. He created a very good disk with this album, hopefully he will be recognized for it.

Now, onto the album. I'm going to begin with the bad elements embedded in this album (although bad is not really the right word because he does not fall flat on his face anywhere on this album, so I'll call it his average moments). So this won't be in order in a song-by-song basis. Don't be alarmed if you're a creature of habit and prefer this sense of order; yes I know the playlist sequencing.

"My Drink & My 2 Step" is the club-hit produced by Swizz Beatz that reminds me of his previous hit "I'ma Hustla." Cass spits fairly good verses talking about his accident, punchlines, ect. , while Swizz hits us with a catchy chorus and blesses Cass with a very good beat. The production is excellent. So where's the negative? Cassidy's verses are nothing spectacular and I'm not a fan of Swizz Beatz with a mic in front of him (The Jay-Z sampled chourus was a better chorus also). However behind the boards Swizz is excellent. This was a good choice of song to put out for the first single though, it will sell records. The next song is the dark "Where My ****** At" prod. by Neo Da Matrix. The beat pushes out high-hats, gunshots, snares, and background instruments that create a gloomy, but good beat. Cassidy speaks about what he will do to anyone that crosses him in the wrong way. "If I gotta I'ma pop a ****** lay a ****** down!" This song suffers again because of a weak chorus and subject. Cassidy again spits decent verses that this time will have your adrenaline pumping for a different reason. The next lower point on the album is the hustler song/overused subject of "I Get My Paper" prod. by Swizz Beatz. The chorus here is annoying with the vocalist trying to hit the highest note she can while 'singing' the boring chorus. The production here is fairly good, but seems overproduced and doesn't compliment Cassidy very well. Instruments just feel like they were thrown onto here with horns, base, congos, snares, high-hats, and whatever else Swizz could find to use. The next song "Take a Trip" is the final low point. Although I love Mashonda's voice, I am tired of Cass's attempts to create the perfect love song. To me he seems to try to hard.
