[ewarne1]

SING IT BILLY! Only the real brothers know what you're saying. (Jim Crow Lynching people...we've got to know this)

[dakidfresh08092011]

If life was, The Wizard of Oz. You would be the Tin Man, Cass.

[dakidfresh08092011]

You make me want to move back into my old neighborhood. El Barrieho.

[danielaviles123]

B.A.R.S. Is One Of the Best Album's I EVER Heard.

[mbutunoi25]

[mikedjmix]

this song takes me back...

[just13lazed]

[bmitch555]

[skater250]

this is the differences between a rapper and an MC, and cass is no doubt an MC a good one at that, you know if you have a track wit NAS then your real, and one of the best!

[jsmallsthefireman]

dance lil brother, don't give up the fight

[bpcsteelersfan]

cassidy the best6 and most underated rapper

[LeifGarretstein]

Nice backdrop by Mr. West. It's GOOD to my ears...

[33109Joker]

this shits dope

[AntPx99]

this shit goes the fuck in. whos fucking with cass? nobody

[Ty1Brown2Studioz3]

love the song

especially 3:37-3:57

[ZoNeBx1160]

this song is dope but it's a leftover from common's finding forever...i like the original a lil better i guess cuz commons voice fits better wit the beat even tho the subject matter is pretty much similar..common's version is called strange fruit

[vargopar]

boss

[andrew1695]

cassidy is the bestt his fuckin freestyles be crazyyy.

[yoyo19kool]

going hard...

[suspektual]

ya cass is da shit yo!!!! He's 1 of da hardest lyricist alive rite now!!! He has punch linez for dayz!!

[freshkidd103]

fuk all u hater cassidy can spit

[ar76024]

Cass the best.

[imGEEhoe]

Some real shit. I do this shit.. maybe he doesnt achually do this but hes still the man quit fuckin hatin

[DMAN2356]

this dude did time for protecting his family, and now he is givin back with his genius lyrics hes tryin to make a living without having to be in the coke game which he has had to do to provide for his family if u dont think this niggas real why dont u run in his house! (tell me how it went when u get back?)

[redwoodresidence]

lol he did that Juvenile flow

[leka1622]

I dont think this was the right beat for this record

[JahRasta311]

common did this shit way better. this is wack ack ack.

[GD31892]

@JahRasta311 Gotta agree with you here.

[MarvinRashadTV]

Thank you! Cassidy missed the whole point of the record Kanye & John Legend put together. You can tell he got hold to the recorder AFTER Common and just put his own spin to it, but the topic is a bit off. If they know the story of "Strange Fruit," they know his story is a bit different from what it should be on record. He didn't go deep enough.

[Hotboy1661]

"And they was talking bout giing me life yah, but i knew i was leaving for beleiving in christ yah" This dudes tuff

[twohatchets]

u must never heard of drake

[sincity757]

drake is a fake bitch. you can't go from Nickelodeon to knockin' niggaz headz off. He's a good rich-kid rapper but he aint thorough. If u don't live wat u speak u atin shit!!!

[layah2sexc]

@sincity757 thats true he was a noggin/ nickelodeon kid turn hardcore rapper

[maladbruthah]

@sincity757

you're stupid, he doesn't pretend that he "knocks niggaz heads off"

not every rapper needs to grow up in the ghetto, look @ Kanye. neither of them grew up hood but neither of them front like they were. Drake is a commercial not a gangsta rapper you need to chill. and

@ layah2sexc

HES not pretending to be a hardcore rapper, listen to his lyrics

[sincity757]

Like I said, He's a good rick kid rapper but he aint thorough. All he can talk about is money because dats all he lived, Wayne and every other rapper been talkin that shit for the last 10 years. He doesn't have no struggle and I respect struggle and victory over trials and tribulations, Fuck how much bread you got, I wanna kno if u did the right thing to get that money and if u can't bring dat message then ur words aint worth the speech. The nigga is corny

[maladbruthah]

i feel you

im just saying take him for what he is

not all rap gotta be hardcore, i mean dnt get me wrong cassidy'z ma nigga but i respect drake for not pretending to be anything he isn't.

[sincity757]

dat much is true. He don't spit garbage but it aint nothin I can feel and he sound too much like the other guy so I can't fuck wit him.

[ultimatesupremedrago]

i get what you sayin i like drake

but eminem, jay z, t.i., nas, cassidy my favorites

[deadlyedley]

@sincity757 George Bush is a rich brat, never went to war himself and he was responsible for thousands of deaths with a fake war and we aint do shit, but i see what u saying lol

[hustla611sara]

cassidy tha shit best rapper alive

[thebaddude16]

[stephenJdogherty]

Big up's to Cassidy he doing the impossible.

[Lorenzcasey8]

[xfyhxd0minic]

ur buggin if u no styles p he got murder charges caught smoking and how 4 bricks on him when he got arrested and thats when weed was a big deal now no one cares bout it

[loveisgodgodislove1]

to me this is the hottest stuff i have heard since makaveli thats my opinion name any other rapper who will put this many positive songs on a album and it still get props big up cass keep bringing this hot stuff for the ones who have been waiting for music about GOD in rap mainstream

[layah2sexc]

[TheRealestMc12]

u know how i can tell cassidy betta den any nigga out here cus erbody on wayne dik on a cass video n wayne suspose to be da greatest yall niggas know who b da best cass wat it is

[scribbles34]

it is Nina Simone, performing the song Strange Fruit ORIGINALLY by Billie Holiday

[5YungCinco5]

damn cassidy raw but his shit be gettin slept on. just cuz he dont get caught with guns or drugs. only way rappers get famous now is to pretend to be in a gang or ride lil waynes dick and it sucks.

[TheanswerAI]

are you retarded? cassidy has been involved in way more shit than any other artist o_o

1st degree murder charges, manslaughter etc...

[MrJim204]

yeah cassidy killed a man cant fuck with that..

[horup1]

great stuff...

[duckman085]

did they sample the lady in the background? if so from where?

[duckman085]

nvm i found it. nina simone strange fruit...... interesting choice cass.... very interesting.....

[Cut1ess]

It's not Nina Simone, It's Billie Holiday

[duckman085]

no, its def nina simone. but good try tho.

[Cut1ess]

It's Billie Holiday, "Strange Fruit", maybe the Nina Simone version though, so your probably right, I just know it was originally done by Billie Holiday

[Lorenzcasey8]

deep song.

[devildog12345678901]

[joshgibson]

who is the sample from the beginning? Sounds like Nina Simone but idk...gave me goosebumps

[HipHopIsInMyNYBlood]

i thought it was Billie Holiday...Strange fruit. maybe i assumed too quickly

[HipHopIsInMyNYBlood]

theres a nina simone version of the song being sung but i think its the original one by billie holiday.

[44366344]

so hes muslim now cause he said hes leaving from beliving in christ.

[bigmoe01]

he s living from believing in christ

[gazimani]

he said I knew I was leavin from bewlivin in christ yall.listen to the song to every beat u will hear what hes really sayin.

[cassfabhot]

[xIXTKOXIx]

Great song. Makes you think.

[iloveaaronharrison]

this shit is true

[Lokum03]

i got it, that's actually Nina Simone...

[Lokum03]

is that amy winehouse singing the background music?

[TGWXYUGWE]

ok hes in the lead fuck lil wayne,this dude got so many styles.....lil wayne cant change his style like cassidy can...somebody get the news hip-hop was just resurrected!!!

[zinco04]

shit this man got it. mutha fukin hustla

[OGDonJuan]

sick track, i need to listen to more cass. He's more than a smack dvd battle rapper he can make good songs too

[zinco04]

amazing song man.i never even heard of cassidy untill i heard this song.

[KingDarius859]

beautiful song...

Cassidy is now fuckin G.O.A.T.(Since 2Pac is gone..)

[getgoodusa]

this song is straight beautiful.....really hits home....way deep.

[jmanholla03]

keep it up cas.... i'm tryin to make it to the top but you on top.... so you the man

[nantara333]

the sample came from strange fruit, cass probably singin bout lets celebrate from wat we came from to now, how blacks have overcame so much and are now possible to do much more then they used to R.I.P to Billie Martin Malcolm and much more that helped made that possible.

[slimzo1267]

DONT GIVE UP THE FIGHT TRU TLK RUDE BOI

[ThaD0nDiVa]

dis song is not direspectful to billie holiday for those who think it is. its sendin a positive message tellin those in a struggle to hold on and celebrate how far they've come. and when billie holiday says "black bodies swingin in the southern breeze" maybe to cassidy that means a sign of freedom. to me it means we are able to be free and dance wit the breeze and just be care free. dance lil brother, dance lil sister.

[nantara333]

"black bodies swingin in the southern breeze" refers to the lynching that went on in the south, as well as the north but more in the south. just to let you know , no disrespect thou

[mvs1234567]

he prolly used the sample to show how he overcame racism and his car accident. "keep fightin and hang on lil man..." prolly has something to do with racism and billie holiday sample therefore fits the song

[MsNum1]

John Legend matches good with rappers on songs. He got a song with Rich Boy, Lil Wayne, and Nas. Its hot

[LILTWEEZEY]

Man please get that stupid ass list out of here. Nigga Cass is first if not Jay-z.

[RaulHery]

classement for 2007 : 1 lupe fiasco 2 Jigga 3 brother ali 4 graduation 5 x-clan 6 Cassidy 7 talib kweli ear drum 8 TI VS TIP 9 common 10 scarface

[ENT212]

how you gone come on a nigga song and put him # 6 ? ? ? get yo bitch ass off this song

[ar76024]

@RaulHery your an idiot

[taninash]

If you like this song yall just hit me up with other tracks that you like by Cass or any other artists.

[taninash]

No hating this song is dope as hell if you feel its a disrespectful track thats cool just dont waste your time listening to it and leave those of us who appreciate it to do exactly that cos Cass is the most underrated rapper right now. Hes real sick.

[ALISIGWE]

i really believe u my brother,i think he's gat more sense than lil wayne and a whole lot of otherz,switching their flows to please their ceo's

[bariaosuk]

Nice song.......

[chucktown56]

fuck u u dumb ass. cass be on that real shit. thats why i bought this shit. benarnold u a cock rider any way

[benarnold1]

I'm sure Billie Holiday would be pleased to have Cassidy's lame-ass ghetto bullshit draped over her legacy. And John Legend should know better. Strange Fruit is about young black men hanging, lynched, from trees, and you do this frivolous shit to it??? Fucking shameful.

[CAMERON2323DBLOCK]

go eat a dick n shut da fuck up u little racist bitch

[benarnold1]

You miss the point, you fuckwit. Read up about Strange Fruit, then come back and say that what Cassidy's done here is respectful to Billie Holliday's track.

[hollingsworthlart]

This a real ass track, but yall know its allways gone be that one hating ass muthafucka that got something negative to say about a good thing. So benarnold1 get yo mind right before you come out of your mouth with some dome shit asshole

[benarnold1]

See above and learn to fucking spell.

[hollingsworthlart]

Yeah it was supposed to be dum instead of dome, so no i aint gotta vocab problem, just type fast as hell. But in your case you got a hater problem, how in anyway did cass disrespect billie hiliday's track? are you listening to the course and what he saying in his verse, theres only so much a rapper can say based on the life he or she has lived.

[CAMERON2323DBLOCK]

i agree with you,theres always that hating ass dick head on youtube talking shit,if they don't like cassidy music just don't listen to it,this is a classic album.

[TreMurr]

u stupid cats r just sumthin we can ride on

my gun, gone spit clipz untill im gone

try son, i'll leave u heavy like a bigger set

burn ya body with tha shottie, like a mawfuckkeenn cigarette

n i wanna shout out, cuz my bitchiz fine

i mean, ye hes fuckin tight, i love dis man yo, he doin it big bringin cats frun da streets given um a chance n shit to get heard thats envyable, i apretiate dis man yo, maybe one day i'll git to spit wit him

[PopiBoss]

[NEGFAN]

This is one of the best song on the album. The whole CD is hard. Cassidy the shit in the 08 ya dig....

[goonish1]

[komykze]
