Cassidy on the Road to Recovery AND Riches

The past few months haven’t been good to Philly MC Cassidy. Remember his “I’m a Hustla” joint where he sampled Jay-Z? That hit the #5 spot on Billboard, but it’s been downhill from there. Not long after, Cass told us how he “didn’t win lyricist of the year, but he was nominated.” If you think that’s a disappointment, how’s doing an 8-month bid for manslaughter and aggravated assault?

But now, in the twisted world of hip-hop, things are looking up for the West Oak Lane rapper. You see, Cassidy recently suffered critical injuries when a U-Haul sized truck ran into his SUV. The accident fractured his skull and broke several bones on his face according to MTV news. Doctors say he will recover, but will be left with a scar extending from his ear to his mouth.

Keep your busted head up Cassidy! All the ingredients are there for you to blow up! If we look to past hip-hop happenings, we see that:

Killing someone (C-Murder) + doing time (2Pac, T.I. & countless others) + surviving a dangerous car accident (Kanye) and having visible scars (50 Cent) = top of the Billboard charts and major street cred!

Kanye West Sued For Stealing Mercedes Benz

Back in September of 2002, Kanye West’s company, Konman Entertainment, Inc, rented a Mercedes-Benz G500 at the cost of $1295 a day and the lease expired in January of 2006. However, Kanye’s company stopped paying the bill and has refused to return the car, so the company is sueing Kanye. Apparently, Kanye hasn’t reviewed the list of benefits of being a rapper.
