Cassidy Turns Himself In On Murder, Weapons Charges
06.17.2005 4:29 PM EDT

Rapper a suspect in April 15 fatal shooting in Philadelphia.

Quote:

As expected, Cassidy has turned himself in. The rapper, whose real name is Barry Reese, surrendered early Friday afternoon (June 17) to Philadelphia police on charges of murder, attempted murder, reckless endangerment, aggravated assault, conspiracy and weapons possession.

The rapper is expected to remain behind bars at least until he is arraigned, which police estimate won't be until late Friday or even Saturday, since booking and processing will take up to 12 hours. At his arraignment, Cassidy will enter a plea and a discussion about bail will take place. The Philadelphia district attorney's office plans to request that Cassidy be held without bail, as it does with all murder cases, and a spokesperson for the district attorney said it is "very likely" the request will be granted by the judge.

Cassidy is a suspect in the fatal shooting of 22-year-old Desmond Hawkins, who was killed during a gunfight between two groups of men on April 15 (see "Cassidy Wanted For Murder"). Philly police claim Cassidy and two other men, armed with .45 and .40 caliber handguns, 9 mm pistols, AK-47 assault rifles and 7.62 mm rifles, fired on three unarmed men during an argument behind a house in the rapper's northwest Philadelphia neighborhood. During the melee, Hawkins was shot in the back and killed. The other two men were treated at hospitals for gunshot wounds and released.

Cassidy's second album, I'm a Hustla, is due June 28.

I was watching MTV, and they had a news brief about this, and my mouth just dropped open!

I liked a couple of Cassidy's songs, too!

Another ignorant rapper bites the dust. It's so pathetic to see these rappers gettin locked up. What the f**k is wrong with them? Oh let me guess. They live in the ghetto so they gotta act hard & do ignorant stuff to get accepted by other ignorant negroes LOL. I don't like Cassidy anyway.

I agree - I don't understand this trend with them. Whatever happened to being able to pull yourself out of the ghetto and become a contributing member of society and making something of yourself? No wonder Cosby is freaking out. They only hurt themselves and the images of blacks.

isiahthomas · 06-20-2005, 11:30 AM

There's these rap magazines called The Source & XXL. The Source had a article on rappers that are locked up right now about 3-4 months ago. It was so pathetic to see so many rappers locked up in the article i read. XXL has 50 Cent & Tony Yayo on the cover right now talkin about rappers that are locked up. Tony Yayo is a part of G Unit & he used to be locked up. The thing that's so ignorant about these rappers is that they continue to get locked up over dumb s**t because their ignorant asses keep hangin in the ghetto. Stay the f**k outta the ghetto & away from ignorant blacks. They wouldn't get themselves in these situations if they stayed away from ignorant blacks. I think the thing about being a rapper is that they have a reputation to look after because they brag about being hard on their songs & braggin about the stuff they got so i guess they feel they gotta keep it real by acting hard & hangin in the ghetto with ignorant blacks so people won't think they're soft or sellouts because they moved out the hood & they don't hang with ignorant blacks.

Meanwhile, making something good out of yourself isn't selling out at all. They should be mentors to others wanting to get out. Why do some of these blacks look up to rappers when there are so many other talented and intelligent black people to look up to? I just don't understand why they draw a difference between being black and white. Just because you're black, doesn't mean you're destined for the ghetto and just because you're white doesn't mean you live in a perfect world either. It kills me that they seem to think if they make something of themselves, they're selling out. That's just total bullsh*t. If you don't mind me asking, isiah - are you black yourself? It's interesting to hear your take on this. If you were to become say a bank president, would your friends think you're the same or selling out?

dlemond · 06-20-2005, 11:46 AM

You're kidding me.

A rapper and a gun?

And violence? And murder?

Next you're going to tell me that 98 percent of rap music is about the rapper talking about how great he is and how he deserves praise.

isiahthomas · 06-20-2005, 12:11 PM

Yes i'm black Tripperfan. If i did get a job as a bank president, my friends probably would think i'm a sellout but i don't care what people think of me. I think the problem among blacks is that they care what other blacks think of them. Ignorant blacks think it's cool to be ignorant & stupid. I've never understood that. That's why i don't have any friends because i don't like hangin around blacks that are ignorant & aren't trying to be educated & smart. What's cool about being dumb & ignorant? Blacks always complain about the white man is holding them back & white people got all the money. The reason why white people are successful is because they read, read, read. Ignorant blacks don't read & that's why they'll never have anything. That's another reason why so many black men are locked up in prison because they're too lazy to make something of themselves & read. The thing that baffles me about black men that are locked up is they start reading books LOL. They should've been doing that before they got locked up. Foreigners are even doing better than blacks. Why is that? I'll tell you why. Foreigners read & they wanna educate themselves. Foreigners can't even speak english & they come to america & open up businesses in the ghetto making money off of stupid blacks who support their businesses. Blacks won't support their own people but they'll support foreigners businesses. How ignorant is that? I think foreigners are stupid for putting themselves in danger by opening businesses in the ghetto. I've seen plenty of blacks hangin in front of liquor stores & corner stores in the ghetto owned by foreigners. Foreigners are too scared to tell the blacks to get away from their stores.

I want to let you white people know all rappers aren't ignorant. Nobody talks about positive educated rappers like KRS One, Paris, Wise Intelligent of Poor Righteous Teachers, Chuck D, The Coup, Dead Prez, Kam, Da Lench Mob. None of these rappers get talked about because ignorant rappers sell & positive rappers don't. That's whats so ignorant about blacks. We don't wanna listen to rappers that tell us to read books & educate ourselves. We'd rather listen to rappers talk about how many women they've had sex with, how many dudes they've killed, how many cars they got, how much weed they smoked, how much jewelry they got, how much alcohol they've drank, how many times they've been to the club. When i look at rap videos nowadays, it's so sad to see every video is the same. Every video is a party atmosphere with black women half naked shaking their asses. Every song is the same. Nobody raps about anything with substance. I don't even watch rap videos anymore anyway. Another thing i'm tired of is rappers using the same producers with wack beats.
