jesus, now nikkas ready to dikk ride drag-on's music
and the answer is drag-on's lp bein' wack was never a "goat myth in rap" nor was it a myth and hardly even a thought at all; that album was never a factor
next, nikkas gon be askin' "why spliff star ain't never make it big"
They were beefing over sounding alike though. Cam got at him on Let Me Know and Rap City when he said "He does kid raps. I do grown man raps"
I know why they were beefing but I just thought it was dumb. I fukked with both of them heavy and I never got them confused.
That seemed like the main issue at the time. He was using the exact same rhyme patterns as Cam. First Cam kinda dissed him, then they were cool at one point..... but it was never explained who got what from who.
All the young cats from Ruff Ryders used to come to Harlem to battle, so as much as I ride for Cam I can't just assume it was Drag-On who stole the flow.

but you know how rap is,.. its all a matter of who dropped first.. Cam was already 2 albums deep..
edit: but now that you mention it Cam's pattern did change a bit after confessions
Same with DMX and K-solo...

Ehhh, I felt like they were using the same style but Cam was an upgraded version. Cam was more clever, more engaging, and had humor. So I saw how Cam might have been upset, especially when he's "Cam'ron" and dude's name was "Drag-on".
But again for all we know, Cam might have heard dude in a battle or street cipher Uptown and flipped his style. Cam was using the Big L/G Rap rhyme patterns back in the COC days.

Plus.....it was too many songs. ALOT of em shoulda been left on da cutting room floor.

That album was probably the most disappointing album that I looked forward too

I'll just say something that some of y'all are hinting at. Regardless of whether you liked his style or not, Drag-On's raps would lead you to believe that dude was dumb as rocks. Like he got left back in 7th grade twice, and just stopped going to school.

Who's the best MCs? Biggie, Jay-Z, and Nas
That album was terrible breh
From the bland subject matter to the throwaway Swizz beats. I liked Drag-On at that point but listening to that album made me realize that he's just not an interesting rapper to listen to. He has some hot songs, verses, and freestyles but he just can't carry an album by himself.

I blame the recent Ruff Ryders history that was on air.
