Cassidy has a little advice for mogul Jay-Z. The Swizz Beatz protégé thinks the Def Jam prez should push his album back. "I think right now, the way that I got the hood on smash and the way that my song is poppin off, I dont think it would be a smart decision for Hov to drop on November 6," Cassidy told.

Cass new project, The Barry Adrien Reese Story (B.A.R.S.) is slated to hit shelves the same day as Hovs concept album American Gangster. And though Jays "unofficial soundtrack" to the flick of the same name has been getting good reviews, Cass said American Gangster is not as anticipated as any of Hovs classics.

"It aint like when [The Blueprint] Vol. 1 or Vol. 2 was gonna drop, its a lot different," Cassidy said.

Cassidys third solo effort is the follow up to Im a Hustla, in which he sampled Hovs voice on the title track.

Cassidy compared the projected sales stand-off to that of 50 Cent and Kanye West.

"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 cant do nothing but benefit from that," Cass said. "Im happy that Hov, a person that really takes lyricism seriously, is coming back out again."

Hov isnt the only one Cass says isnt fit to come against him. The rapper recently smashed rumors of a battle rap with Joe Budden, saying the only emcee fit to battle him was himself.
