his catalog is spotty as hell; i still stand by this

i liked his style of spittin' the most 98' to 00' but those 1st 2 albums were a mess aside from a few songs. i could take a few songs from both albums and make maybe a 10 track album

come home with me was cam's moment but all that simplistic rhymin' from him was annoyin' to me (bout to listen to this album next)

and purple haze from what i remember was just an od of come home with me just even more sugary than come home with me. least come home with me still had some edge to it

i don't know, aside from charisma and persona, i really don't see how nikkas really ride for cam like that

He's got his questionable shyt, but when he finds it, it's a home run.:wow:

His biggest handicap is his beat selection. He needs a mixtape or two with Blaze. I guarantee you'll reconsider.

his shyt always been spotty as hell to me, i think that's why i could never really rock with his music but so much

it's funny too, because of bunch of my nikkas loved cam'ron's music and swore i was trippin' but after a handful of songs, i was ready to hear somethin' else lol

His highlights are definitely the focus, not his depth.

It is what it is, though. And the truth is he can wash most of these so called lyrical cats today.

i'mma keep it all the real, cam'ron real hit and miss with me. i got a couple songs by him that i like to listen to and he might be better than most of the cats today (which ain't sayin' much because their music ain't shyt to begin with) but goin' down memory has reminded me just what i thought along of his music, a lot of misses with only a few hits (and i don't mean hits like singles, i just mean good or great shyt):yeshrug:

You like how Ghost used it better??? That's the whole problem with Ice. Ghost wasted that beat. Track is like 1 minute long. smh @ ghost not giving us a classic 4 minute track with that beat.

Very spotty. First album was kinda wack. That's when Drag On came out sounding like Cam jr. The next album was fire, particularly the bootleg that was available on many a African's blanket throughout the city.

Then the disappointing ass Roc A Fella album happened.

Purple Haze was good, devotees call it classic (it isn't).

I liked Killa Season but I guess not many others did.

Crime Pays was trash.

yeah, cam just seems like he gets lazy and instead of actually seein' a whole album through he just plays around and a lot of times (esp on them 1st 2 albums) the production was weak for the most part

the dipset era cam is run by soul sped up beats and his larger than life persona but that's when he really just used his image as a crutch to me

i don't consider him 1 of the best or anyone of that magnitude at all

ma$e was a far better rapper than cam and i know many would argue against that because they don't like how "shiny suit" ma$e with but gimmie that harlem world album over ANY of cam'ron's shyt all day, everyday

put some respeck on Sports Drugs and Entertain.

it has some moment but they are few and far in between :francis:

and for the record, i think 98' to 00' was the cam at his peak as far as rappin' goes when he was focused here and there on those 1st 2 albums but both those albums still ain't shyt really :pachaha:

Come Home With Me and Purple Haze will always get burn from me. Love those albums. Have heard very little of SDE, and his debut (for me at least) hasn't aged well. It had some alright songs, but it also doesn't help that I had the edited version cause my grandma bought it for me at Wal-Mart back then :russ:
