If there is anyone who knows about Cassidy’s career in the game, it’s Swizz Beatz. The two worked closely when Cass first made a splash on the mainstream Rap market. Through time, their relationship also had ups and downs. Now Swizz is being asked about Cassidy’s latest feud with Meek Mill.
During his interview with Global Grind, Swizz shared his take on the diss and whether or not Meek will respond.
“That’s how he felt. His passion is rapping and battling and I think he said everything that he meant,” Swizz explained, when asked about Cassidy’s “R.A.I.D.” diss track for Meek Mill.
When asked if his reaction was “Oh my God,” Swizz said he’s used to battling. “I’m used to it. I been around battling all my life. It’s a creative sport,” he added. However, he does not think Meek will be replying. “I doubt it,” he said. “I don’t think he’s gonna respond.”
Swizz also spoke on Chief Keef, who was recently sentenced to 60 days for probation violation, and how he has become a part of the gun control conversation.
“I think it’s bigger than him,” he explained. “Chief Keef is just a name people can relate to because he’s in the entertainment business. But, I think the real reason is the youth, period, with nowhere to go, no plans, and they’re just resorting to living however they want to live. You go to a different country and they don’t have no support, no food, it’s the same thing. It’s just that we’re knowing about it more because there’s a celebrity name involved, but I wouldn’t even put that on him. This has been going on for years. They shut down the whole Cabrini–Green a long time ago. This been happening. But the key thing is how is it going to stop happening? Is it arts? Is it music? That’s the thing to figure out.”

meek realized if he responds people will laugh at him…either come wit a 20 minute track annialating cassidy, or just quit rapping,cuz all respect for meek is dropping by the day
cassidy was never dope, ruff ryder was all about DMX and Eve with Swizz Beatz, Cassidy was a failed project… and the best rapper coming from Philly is Black Thought
..and one of the best rappers period! Black Thought is criminally underrated…
most successful will smith though on the music and movie scene i think
at least cassidy got them bars
what does meek have besides good beats?
thats because black thought is a part of a group
cassidy is dope. he is becoming a better songwriter by the day. in regards to black thought, he is prolly the only person alive that can say they went line for line with big pun. the only thing holding black thought back is he is not signed with YMCMB.
swizz is a smart dude.
“at least cassidy got them bars. what does meek have besides good beats?”
A career.
meek isnt doing anything cassidy hasnt already done except cassidy sold more records and ringtones and had bigger songs
lol ringtones? who the fuck buys ringtones.
The definition of a career says Cassidy has one too idiot.
no one buys ringtones anymore but when they did cassidy was the first to go ringtone platinum
Meek is an internet gangsta and average rapper.
swizz last paragraph was truth you youngins need. keef is an ignorant youth, but that’s all he knows. you can’t blame him for his environment.
Everytime Meek mentions a sentence with Cassidy in it, he loses stock, he needs to maintain his buzz, not kill his career, he betta not respond to cassidy, ….besides DEAD men don’t speak, Cass bodied that kid already.
black thought will forever be the best out of philly. period. cassidy used to have bars and whatnot but he cant make a song to save his life and is more washed up than tom celic in a celica
Use to have bars? As opposed to who?
you fukkniggaz always got opinions on these blogs talking like you big you smallfish
cassidy sounds like an retarded version of slimshady fuck him
