“Be original,” said Cassidy in a freestyle over 50’s “I Get Money” which has an extreme similarity to his [Cassidy’s] 2005 hit, “I’m a Hustla.” Though many speculated he was taking shots at the New York City rapper, Cass said otherwise.
In a recent interview with Hot 97’s Miss Jones, Cass cleared the would-be tension.
“I like 50, he’s one of my favorite rappers on the East Coast right now. I don’t want no trouble with 50. I got real problems with dudes in the streets fo’real fo’real like, when we see each other it’s gonna go down, its gonna get poppin.” Said Cass.
“So I feel as though I got love for 50, the couple of times we ran into each other it was nothing but love.” He continued.

COMMENTS
smh.. This kinda looks like a bitch move..
Co mutha fuckin sign I smell pussy
this why all these fake ass rappers with their fake ass images be risin in the game these days everytime someone try to be the bigger man and squash some beef they got motherfuckers like this comin in and sayin they pussy for not pursuin beef every chance they get the game is a perfect example he get booted from g unit and instead of bein a man about it and movin on with his career and creatin a buzz by makin good records he creates a beef and milk that shit for everything it worth cuz he know motherfuckers like this will start givin him props jus cuz he actin hard without that shit he falls i respect cass for not goin after beef with fif even though it'd get him more reconized by these people who'd rather see him gun fif down on the street cuz of a fuckin beat. hip hop should be about the fuckin music but these kids more interested in seein it turn into a fuckin soap opera when in reality they just killin hip hop
Damn Blueprint man. You talking like you got some of JayZ knowledge in you. The game ain't the same and that's cool because it needs to evolve for the better, but all of this fake ass rap beef shit is doing just the opposite. Everybody needs to wake the fuck up and realize when they're eing played for fools, by these rappers with gimmicks. We need some more MC's with real talent.
Word to the Blueprint, real talk.
BOTTOM LINE NOWADAYS ALL THE RAPPERS JUST TRYIN TO GET INSTANT GRATIFICATION. SO EVERYBODY GOT A GIMMIK LIKE CARTOON CHARACTERS. I'LL ADMIT I WASN'T FEELING REASONABLE DOUBT WHEN IT FIRST CAME OUT. I WAS IN LA ON THAT WEST COAST SHIT. JAY-Z MADE YOU EARN HIS RESPECT. ALONG WITH ALL THE OTHER GREATS, PAC, BIG, NAS, ETC NOW I THINK REASONABLE DOUBT IS A UNDENIABLE CLASSIC. IT TOOK JAY 4-5 ALBUMS BEFORE NIGGAS START SAYIN HE WAS THE GREATEST. NOWADAYS U GOT NIGGAS WITH 1 OR 2 ALBUMS CALLIN THEY SELVES KINGS...
BUT THEN IT'S MY FAULT TOO, I DOWNLOAD SO MUCH MUSIC FROM REAL NIGGAS, NIGGAS THAT GOT DROPPED BY THEY LABELS BECAUSE OF THEY LACK OF SALES. ARTISTS NOWADAYS DON'T EVEN GET A CHANCE TO GROW, BECAUSE WE AINT BUYING MUSIC LIKE WE USED TO. SO NOW INDUSTRY TRYIN TO MAKE ALL THEY BANK OFF RINGTONEZ AND RINGTONEZ AIN'T GONNA SAVE HIP HOP.
HERE'S THE REASON WHY THE SOUTH IS HOT RIGHT NOW, CUZ NIGGAS GOT SICK OF THAT EAST COAST BEEF SHIT. RAP IS LIKE THE FUCKIN WWE ON THE WEST AND EAST COAST AND THE SOUTH JUST SNATCHED THAT SHIT, I HAVEN'T HEARD ONE BIG BEEF COME OUTTA THE SOUTH.
THE SOUTH IS PRETTY MUCH GARBAGE RIGHT NOW AINT NOTHING REALLY HAPPEN FOR HIP-HOP. EVERBODY IN THE SOUTH REPEAT EACH OTHER THEY ALWAYS GOT A MILLION NIGGAS ON THEY SONGS AND ALBUMS AND THATS SHIT GETTING PLAYED OUT TO ME.
cass better stop playign with em and let the real cass out this sounding like he scared of em how u diss em in b boy stance but now u got love
Man i really wanted this to escalate into a rap battle
i feel lyrically cassidy would take 50 down
Whoever writes these articles sure loves 50, cass ain't 'copping' out he's just saying a few words.
i smell "Bitch"
man cass is really disappointing me
it's more to this
cass my manz... he just tryin to eat.. 6ut fucc 50 itz all a6out tha 6irdgang dipset and cass!!!!!!!
Forget dipset, Cam's got nothing. Fuck Cass too. It's Common and then daylight to the next best.
cassidy is just tryin to keep his career
u dont save yo career wit a bitch move "stay original" first he know he dissed 50... now 50 found out n he scared... thas a bitch move
Cassidy dont have a career bot his alubm where bullshit he should just stick to freestylin. i dont know why he backin down this could actually help his career cause i think he would eat 50 alive.
i dont think he copin out i jus think he smart. thats a good move on his part with his album comin out soon you dont wanna be dissin people then he losin money
yo all yall niggas thats sayin he a bitch and all that...get tha fuck outta here...i bet u if he said "fuck 50, he a snitch", all yall would be ridin' on his dick all fucking day
I don't give a fuck what he says about 50, he's still a bitch. He may have better skills than 50 but who doesn't? At least 50 stands by the bullshit he says - even if his rhymes are wack.
i dont like 50, but if any other rapper besides yall beloved cassidy did this shit yall say he was a bitch no matter how popular he is. n a beef would actually help yo album sales unless u scared...
^^^but then again...it could hurt someones album sales too
I definitely know that lyrically Cass will murder 50...
But 50 has waaaay too much power... The same way he caused that rift between DipSet (who has a bigger fan base than Cass)... He could easily do the same with Cass.
So of course the Powers That Be are putting a Muzzle on Cass...
Money Talks...
~Be Eazy!
co-sign
.. this music bizz aint music no mo, its all bout power and who u know.. its gettin wack. Money talks fo real. Cass just bein real and savin his career!
Hey JOKESTA,
How come I didn't know anything about Keith Murray's album droppin' on Tuesday!? Instead, I purchased my 1st Common album on Friday and listened to it all weekend. I was impressed; Common CAN RAP. Kanye did a GOOD job producing it. It also made me remember why I'm not really a Common fan. To me, in my humble opinion, Common is more of a "neo-soul" type artist, and raps @ ONE SPEED, pretty much, his whole career. I guess that's what truly set artists like Jay, Big, and Nas apart from the rest of the rap world. They gave us variety; they switched up their flows... they dared to be different, especially Nas. But, overall the Common album is good; worth listening to for a month or so 'til I get bored with it, like the T.I. and Fab albums I bought about 2, 3 weeks ago, lol.
As for Cass, he HAS ONE HIT! We need another dude! We can talk for days and months and years about WHO CAN SPIT FIRE (Dylan, that is!), BUT you still have to... well, I'll let our beloved Ol' Dirty say it: "Do anybody still make hits anymore!?" You have to be MARKETABLE... maybe that was Canibus' problem; I mean, we ALL knew he could rap... FIRE...you know?
C'mon Cass, we need a hit! "I'm A Hustler" was two years ago!
I don't know about that one, I'm still listening to BE like a year later. It'll grow on you. U, Black maybe? crack rocks
Yeah, I AM hopin' that it'll grow on me.... I'm HONESTLY givin' him a fair shake! Like I said, I LIKE the album, "Finding Forever"! Particularly, I'm fond of tracks:
3. The People - "This is street ray-dee-oh, 4 unsung hero, ridin' in the Regal, trynna stay legal, my daughter found Nemo, I found the new Primo" HOT!
6. Southside - Common & Kanye get it in!
7. The Game - I love the Big L sample!
8. U Black, Maybe - I LOVE the way this joint opens! HARD! I agree with you, DangerLAsoul, this joint IS tight!
11. Misunderstood - The stories Common tells are REAL TALK!
50 cent is whack but he has the resources to end or at least hault this mans career. Jus look at that nigga chico from paid in full CAM..lol where he been at , after bein demoted from capo to soldier hes had to go back to bootcamp and re work his sub par flow. cass got more talent, 50 got more money. like jay said money talks so the whole world bout to hear me out so fifty would come out ontop unfortunately. and finding forever is that shit bootleg it burn it whatever but get that mess.
cassidy makin da rite move, 50 is nice you guys juss don't give fif credit
CASSIDY SAIS HE GOT REAL PROBLEMS IN THE STREET!!!HOMIE IS A NERD IF U GOT PROBLEMS IN THE STREET U AINT GONNA TALK ABOUT IT LIKE A NERD KEEP IT TO URSELF LIKE A REAL NIGGA AND DO WHAT U GOTTA DO!!I HATE WHEN PPL BE LIKE I GOT REAL PROBLEMS IN THE STREET MAN IF U GOT PROBLEMS IN THE STREEET U AINT GONNA BE PUTTING URSELF OUT THERE LIKE THAT AND SAY SOME STUPID SHIT LIKE THAT!! DUDE IS A FUCKING FOOL!! REAL RECOGNIZE REAL FUCK BOY!!!!!!!!!!
i dont think he copped out..cus he still spoke bout the t.i., and young joc situation. Sometimes we want it to be a problem as fans.
Why is Cass so shook str8 up lol
yall need to stop tripin..Cass ain´t scared but being wise...dude just escaped death, so don´t expect him to start any uneccessary drama..
wow as much as yall say shit like "if u defend this guy then u a dickrider" thats exactly what yall sound like cuz i dont care any other rapper do this yall say it was a bitch move
Jigga's flip game has been so proper that Rocawear now has co-ventures with Eminem's Shady clothing line and Young Jeezy's 8732 apparel.
"It's a thing for us," Jay said. "All of us, we had the same type of struggle to impart some of that wisdom. I may know a little bit more about clothing at this particular time than Jeezy, but he's flying lower than me, so he may know more about what's going on in the streets a little quicker than I. Not much quicker, but a little quicker." ...
why doesn't he kiss 50's ass a little bit more?
just admit that you're pissed at him and destroy 50's career, so we dont have to listen to anymore of curtis' bullshit.
if anybody would destroy 50's career, it definitely wouldnt be cassidy. even the lox, who are way better than cass couldnt shut 50 down.
Is Cass still beefin' wit the other bull from Philly? Cisero?
Nah dat shit died off some time ago...Cyssero is a animal...but he couldnt really contend wit Cassidy...
Y son got to be pu-dussy of top because he ain't try'in to beef before his shit drop. U cats expect this diss'in beef shit hundred percent of time now. EVERYBODY know cass is a battle rapper, 50 ain't lyrical, why would Cass be nervous. U heard real beef
50 got niggas shook
CASSIDY WILL STRATE MURDER 50 ANYWAYS!
then y he diss him in a track n back off... dont say cuz d album cuz if he is as lyrical as u say he is he will "murder 50" I aint no 50 fan but damn...
naw 50 aint got him shook.
He can beat 50 line for line!
On top of that HE WILL SHOOT HIM...literally! REAL NIGGA TALK! lol
What Cass done in the game 2 destroy anyone not a damn thing he know 50 will either get some fact on him an destroy his ass, and he sounds scared cause he know 50 will bring real beef and ya'll haters is looking for somebody anybody 2 go against 50 even if their career is weak an they ain't relevant
cass dont want no problem
damn every1 got respect 4 the nigga 50
cassidy just wanna do his album nd dont want no problems with any1....respectable
Yo on sum real shit ppl on dis shit iz pissin me off u niggaz alwayz want beef Cass obviously said him and 50 r cool even if it dont seem like dat and he always throwin quiet shots at him jus take dat shit he said him and 50 got luv 4 each other and if there wuz a real beef then 50 would hav said sumthin a long time ago cuz dat nigga alwayz do and 2 da nigga dat said Cass dont hav real beef Cass jus got off da attempted murder charge wtf r u talkin bout Cass worryin bout hiz album not sum bullshit beef everybody wanna see...Game already helped kill hip hop wit dat corny ass beef wit 50 niggaz need 2 leave beef alone and jus let regualr rap skills determine shit...And 2 all u hataz sayin my nigga 50 iz weak shut da fuck up cu 50 can still rhyme dats y yall bumpin I Get Money...dat nigga can still rhyme or did u 4get God Gave Me Style, Baltimore Love Thing, Hustals Ambition, Ski Mask,Guz Come Out,Toy Soldier,Supposed 2 Die Tonight dat nigga still got it so jus cop Curtis and keep it on da hush
MAn u did not mention one song of of get rich or die trying thats the real 50. the masseca was medeoker. CURTIS is gone be garbage I GET MONEY hot but its not lyrical or its not on the album every song he put out so far fot that album is trash. its gone sale cause its 50 but its gone be trash. its gone be worst than the massecar.
Anyone that starts beef with 50 right now will help his album sales with the hype and free media interest.
Cass should wait until after curtis comes out then slay him.
Cass can't slay shit he can't make a hit song
cosign with street, cass cant make a hit record to save his life. and for people talking about 50 bit ima hustler, just remember:
CASS STOLE THE HOOK OF IM A HUSTLER FROM JAY Z. NOW, LETS SEE WHO WANTS TO CONTINUE ON ABOUT SWAGGER JACKING.
Maybe he wasn't dissin maybe he was just throwin out general statements if a rapper feels like he was talkin to him them, he was, if you ain't original and you know it you should be offended. If anybody feels offended then stop swagger jackin and be real with your shit. he wasn't dissin 50. 50 may be wack but at they very least 50 is original.
SO, i get money is original. i think not he straight up stole that from cassidy im a hustler
smh shakes my mothfuking head. smh again.
ps dat common album incredible
SmithTheChamp the beat don't sound da same u hating motherfucker and if he did stole it it's a better song u guys try anything 2 discredit a good song made by 50
I get money wasn't original but. we all know it's only gettin spin cause Flex play that song 100,000 times. so i call him an Original Cornball. He was corny before ay baybay and all these other cornballs. get it thats why i call him original.
he made it easy for muthafuckas to just say any ol bullshit and sell 2 mil
there is more 2 this... like everyone said cassidy will murder 50 in a battle.... but 50 will put cassidy on tha hush hush bullshit cause of his power. ... i am startin 2 think cassidy is on that hush hush bull shit now.. somebody might have washed cassidy up... but i still am gonna cop B.A.R.S
i can understand that people dont want all the stupid beef in hip-hop, but when u spit out a sublime like Cass did and get called out on it! at this point dont back off cause everyone knows what he was trying to say, so if he didnt want any problems wit fif, he should have have got on the beat and running his mouth and he wouldnt have to worry about being ask thoses types of questions. that is just my opinon on the topic
CO MOTHERF**KIN SIGN. if you dont wanna be asked questions, dont drop subliminals on somebody's beat then later on say "i dont want no beef i was just talking about people in the street."
i smell p***y, is that you cassidy?
I SEE A DICK SUCKA, IS THAT U GURILLA.
i hate when yall fans always talkin bout niggas will murder 50 in a battle. yall fans are so stupid and just worry bout the battle. its the war that matters. this aint the 80's and 90's where who ever win the battle is on top. who cares bout the battle, but can any nigga beat 50 in a war, hell no
and cass do have street problems, he need to worry bout that. im sure he do, their are probably niggas who want to kill him, for that alleged murder back in 05. cass dont have time for this shit. and 50 dont have time for it either, unless u come out hard sayinn his name. 50 past that beef shit
No he's not he just beefed with cam'ron 50 always calling people out. for all we know he still might come at cassidy.
@VI streets
I dont think its a better song i dont think its a worst song but cassidys was a bigger hit and the beat does sound the same it just has one little tweak to it and the course sounds the same just diffrent words. and i dont know man i fill like in new york yall love yalself to much if the play it as much as my mans said cause they dont ever play that on the radio here in the D. but u know new york love them selves so much.
and ny will continue loving themselves. get used to it.
Thats why yall got the worst radio shows dont nobody wanna here that new york shit all the time its hotter shit out their. whats hot in new york right.
Cass aint gonna go at 50 he aint stupid.. Cass is obviously better then 50.. but come on talent dont mean shit in this business. 50 has a strong bullshit following and cass wants to make money
i dont think cass was dissin 50 like dat but dat i get money beat do sound da same on ima hustla beat yo no hate but letz be real yo u can't lie yo yo ewxactly sound da same but 50 song tweak da beat ya dig. n 50 had 2 kno dat da beat was similiar 2 cass song yo.im from philly n ma niggaz be sayin yo i get money was a good song but it aint original 50 juz swagga jacked cass yo n i said well itz da bussiness man. but 50 to me iz an artist dat iz original in hiz musik 2 me
lets be real playa do they really play that song on the radio like that in philly.
da time ive been listen 2 da radio dey only played it when sum dj play it for hiz mixshow datz it yo
exactly when the last time a 50 cent record been in heavy rotation. not since the massacer. only new york bumpin that shit like its they greatest thing ever they need to step of their cock. im form detroit and when we get a em record we dont play it for no reason if nobdy want to hear it.
point blank cass dont want it ferrari period
he can stop niggaz carrer regardless
he did put cam and ja to hult and where's jadakiss
No. his devil friends in the suits can stop careers.
you gotta understand that these niggas must tour and when you talk shit in the booth, if you cant afford security then you gonna have to back shit up.this is the same shit that got busta bodyguard shot.cass started that beef and got swiss beats involved.
beef with the unit aint all in the booth, when they see you, shit gonna pop off.them niggas is deep in philly and thats real talk.yall better understand tha b4 50 got large he had niggas in the streets and now its even more.shit is real out here, yall niggas think its all music.
ja carrer is over his single uh oh with lil wayne is straight up trash another nyc rapper trying to copy the south
