The first singles off Jay-Z American Gangster have been getting good reviews but Cassidy thinks that this album is not as anticipated as any of Hov’s classics.

"It ain’t like when [The Blueprint] Vol. 1 or Vol. 2 was gonna drop, it’s a lot different," Cass said.

He added: "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."

The Full Surface artist also compared his release date with the recent 50 Cent and Kanye West face off: "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. "I’m happy that Hov, a person that really takes lyricism seriously, is coming back out again."

Cassidy recently killed rumors of a freestyle battle with Joe Budden by saying that the only emcee fit to battle him was himself.
