That's not the line. The line is

"Me and my co-d (co-defendant) on an O-Z (An ounce of coke) we go rock for rock (they put the same amount of money to cop their weight in drugs)
Me and my co-d on a Rollie, we go rock for rock (When buying a watch, they compete to see who has the most diamonds)

Two completely different meanings and clever, imo. But clearly you just don't like when someone repeats the same word even though they have completely different meanings. That's cool. You're entitled. I think it's dope when done right. Sigel does it great too.

If you say the same word twice, and they have the same meaning both times, that's wack. But different meanings from the same word is clever to me

Seriously people need to stop bumping this garbage thread. It's the same weak arguments from the same delusional Cam fans.

I understood the meaning, and like I said, I was paraphrasing from memory which is why I didn't recite the line accurately. Using the same word with two different meanings can be incredibly creative, but it should be done subtly. When a rapper forces it and tries to draw attention to it, is when it gets wack.

Here's Prodigy doing it right:
Dun you bugged out I'm trying to walk a peaceful route
But nikkas always got mouth until that piece come out.

Bulletproof Wallets was not some underground album that the average hip-hop fan was unaware of.
Fair point on 36.
Ironman, Supreme and Fishscale are high quality. Otherwise, in the grand scheme of things I agree - but all of Cam's albums also go in that same category

Ok - I'll bite. What is the hidden "hustling" meaning to the following?

Drinking Sake on a suzuki we in osaka bay
Playing soccer, stupid, stay in a suckers place

What is the secret hustling meaning to the computer's puting line - since that is the quintessential bad Cam line?

Also - give examples of some of the lines that have double meanings that you would only catch if you really hustled.
if naS said that shyt youd be suckin down cum.

That's not really using the same word, and I don't really think Cam's version was forced at all. It's pretty basic, yet clever and simple.

I like that Prodigy line too but that's not really the same thing. Peaceful and Piece are not the same word with the same spelling.

Same concept to me, but I see e distinction you made. That was just the first one that came to mind for me, probably since I was bumping Murda Muzik the same time I was listening to Cam. MM is such a slept on banger.
