Talk:Cassidy (rapper)/Archive 1

Looking for some people to help with this page
I am looking for a couple of people to help me with this page. Please contact me at my page or on this page, let's see if we can get this article up to it's full potential. --DroKIDCASH (talk) 23:13, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Apply Pressure and the mixtapes in general
Don't put the mixtapes in the major releases section. I made the Apply Pressure page, even though I am not done with it. I also spent about 15 minutes making my first ever chart so the mixtape section would look nice. From now on, link the mixtape pages from the mixtape section. Look at the full discography section to know what I am talking about. --DroKIDCASH (talk) 19:10, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Cleaned up the page
I cleaned up the page and expanded on the murder case section. I didn't rewrite the musical career section, as much as I just moved the information around and tried to make it easier to read. I do not think that it needs to be categorized by 1st album, 2nd album and so on, due to the fact that we are talking about his musical career in general and not just those works specifically. While they are significant, which is why their mentioned, they do not make up his entire career. Now that the page has been cleaned, you will see that there really isn't that much information on here. 3 studio albums does not make up this man's career and a battle with freeway damn sure does not encompass his entire early career. For right now, I am going to be updating his discography by making pages for all his mixtapes. The page has been cleaned, now all that is left is for you to expand on it. --DroKIDCASH (talk) 01:59, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Updates
I didn't realize just how unorganized this article is until I started editing the main articles. I have finished the murder case article and will try to have the car accident article updated by the end of the night. I turned the personal life section into a category and put the murder case and car accident under it as sub-articles. I will also be totally reworking the musical career section and creating an "Awards and Nomination" category. --DroKIDCASH (talk) 00:35, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Total Over Haul of this Page
I am going to be spending this labor day weekend working on this page. I have already updated the discography section to only include official mix tapes and I put the titles in table format. I believe that the mix tapes should have pages for themselves, like his albums do, due to the fact that most of his fan base comes from the work he has done on the mix tape circuit. I am also updating the murder case section and making it much more detailed, even though I have not finished it, I have posted up the first half. If you look at the article so far, you will see that is highly detailed, albeit unfinished as it skips what happened in court. I will be updating the car accident section and be putting a picture of him in the hospital. Speaking of pictures, we need to find a picture of him for the main article. The intro needs to be re-done and the musical career section needs to be TOTALLY rewrote. If there is anyone who is willing to help me with all this please write back on this page.

Trivia revamp
Took out "He will be featured on Tyreses New Album Alter Ego." - cuz he wasn't on it took out * He's one of the best freestylers that ever made it in this industry - that is opinion took out the word rappers from the ruff ryders. cashmoney tour (it's assumed nas, 50 and yayo are rappers) took the quotes and minor re-word to the Saigon statement

I put him as a rumored guest on quan's album (as on the wiki page a tracks featuring him and nas is under the rumored section)

changed - He will be featured on the new DJ Clue album - to an updated version, and gave the track title changed Cass'll to cassidy will in the cory gunz album changed - * With 13 he started to rap. - to Started to rap at age 2 - terrible grammar changed * He tries to buy the 76ers before he's 35-years-old. - to he wants to buy... changed the dipset concert to past tense changed - he made a concert with mashonda... to he did a concert...He's georgious

not too sure about it, but the rumor about the album with Mario, is that talking about Go!, and is he just going to be featured on the album on one song, or many songs? if anyone knows, perhaps they should add it. and I also tried to arrange the trivia into sections I jsut think it makes it a lil easier to read, it's not definitive cuz i wasn't sure about some stuff, but it goes Beef, Videos, Music, and Other ~Tydamann

I've made some grammatical changes to the trivia section and also taken out references to the magazine covers, since they already have their own section. But it's all mentioned in the edit history. More when I have time! Cloudz679 21:24, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

The verified trivia has been integrated into the article where possible, and the unsourced statements have, on the whole, been removed. There is no longer a trivia section! Cloudz679 02:35, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

On January 25, 2006, Cassidy was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and aggrevated assault. He was sentenced to 11 1/2 to 23 months in prison.

I would like to include this in the main entry, but it is unfortunately protected and consequently out of date.

50 cent beef
I have read in an article that the so called beef with 50 cent and g-unit was really just a publicity stunt and Cassidy had respect for the G-unit crew.

This article needs major work
I think a complete overhaul needs to be done. For example, "He has a son" well thats basic, how old, with who, whats their relationship. That kind of thing, major expandsion is neccisary, I think he famous enough for there to be TONS of content available. Copyediting would be very nice, lots of fragments, run-ons, mispellings and generally poorly written. Furthermore the car accident needs lots of attention since its a current and developing event, theres a lot of coverage in the Media, AP/MTV/Yahoo etc. and that section is tiny. A complete overhaul would be very helpful. There are also a myriad of uncourced statements and POV issues. Poorly cited. The info is there, lots of links, this page just needs some love! =)Qrc2006 18:01, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Categories are also lacking he is of African and Dominican descent, he's American, those cats should be added, well all relevant ones should anyways.

Alot of the beef section is rumors. Wikipedia is not for gossip only facts. I am going to delete the speculations.

=Singer?=

Is there a reason he can't be listed as "Cassidy (rapper)"?

Uh...
I'm not too fond of some of the opening paragraph... I'm going to try re-wording it (and spelling it correctly). If you don't like it, then you can just revert the page.

Jail
I could be wrong about this but i think cassidy is in jail for murder, that might be something important to include in the article. Also there are a bunch of weird wordings that should be changed such as Next to Lloyd Banks is Tony Yayo, who also claims that he has beef with Cassidy due that he met him and the shake hands due that he met him and the shake hands?

I have referenced all the details relating to Cassidy's arrest and trial Cloudz679 22:50, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

RIAA Certification for I'm a Hustla
I removed the "Gold" status last night, and again today. The RIAA have never certified Cassidy's "I'm a Hustla" album. Even if it sold enough units, it's not certified until the record company requests the certification. If you want to check my sources look at and. Anyone else changing this album's certification status to "Gold" will have their edits reverted. Cloudz679 22:02, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Actually It was certified Gold by the RIAA. http://www.riaa.com/gp/database/search_results.asp If it doesnt work go to searchable database type in Cassidy and you'll see it was certified on January 26th, 2007. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.110.72.130 (talk • contribs) 2007-04-17

The link you cited doesn't work; the correct link doesn't certify any Cassidy album apart from Split Personality as of current date Cloudz679 22:28, 17 April 2007 (UTC) You must be stupid. The RIAA certified it Gold January 26th, 2007 Search Results

As stated in your own post, the certification refers to the single. The album, as I mentioned before, has not been certified to date. Please also see your talk page regarding your recent edits. Cloudz679 16:40, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
