Cassidy – Cassidy Anthem (mp3)
Factoids: Length – 4:16/Album – Unknown (Full Surface/J)
Cassidy is like Joe Budden’s Hip Hop cousin. Both have great enough potential to be mentioned among the avant garde of Hip Hop, but are not. Both always seem to restrict their most adorable joints to the mixtape circuit, while their albums suffer from unecessary attempts to please all.
“Cassidy Anthem” is a thin-veiled evidence of the ever-flowing street poetic juices that Swizz Beatz’ protege seems to never run out of. Once you get past the insipid hook (“Who da sickest in the game, man(Cassidy!)/Who be flippin’ on the ‘caine, man (Cassidy)”); corny metaphors (“I see you n****s sweet like Hi-C”), and redundant script (“I was wild as a child, and got worse at ten”), you’ll get to enjoy the abrasive and truly anthemic banger.
Now if that alleged murder accusation doesn’t help Cassidy’s album sales, nothing else will.
