I agree too that Cam got corny around the time of DI. Started rhyming words for the sake of making multis. Not always though, he had some great verses after DI.
Cam is a top 5 Rapper from last 15 years
- Thread starter FreshAIG
- Start date
I'm not saying Cam is wack at all. My point here is that none of his albums are classics.
Can someone explain how Purple Haze was classic?
Losing Weight is a phenomenal song.
Truthfully, Cam was best in the COC days. That flow!

@adonnis - pull up, there's refreshments
1. Mac Dre - if you didn't know, you can literally listen to Mac Dre for days. Not many artists have catalogs like that
2. Cam'ron - probably the greatest to ever come out of Harlem, an ultra-lyrically talented artist who still makes entertaining music. On his best day he's lyrically up there close to Eminem
3. Jay Z - As witty as the best of them, often speaks from perspective
4. Gucci Mane - infinitely appreciable flows, says some great stuff from time to time
5. Slick Rick - why number 5? Material. The originator of swag on wax? Many would say so

what the fukk that does that mean im fresh aig breh i actually know what technicall gifted means.
cam hardly uses multis that matches in syllable count and rhymes alot of syllables i can prove it also.
How u gonna be A-list when u cant go platinum, your singles always flop and youre currently struggling to get a release date? shyt is all smoke and mirrors..
Regarding this thread, I agree, my top 5 of the last 15 years are Cam, 50, Jay, Em, and DMX/Kanye(interchangeable)
Come Home With Me & Purple Haze - Classic
Killa Season & SDE - Great
Confessions of Fire & Crime Pays - Good
The Diplomats mixtape series, at least 3 of them are classic
Lead the most powerful movement of a rap group since Wu-tang and set so many trends
Bodied 3 legendary NYC rappers in a time frame of 5 years
He was the only non-Jay Z rocafella artist to go platinum before Kanye and then he got blackballed because Jay felt scared of him taking over the Roc
I said TODAYS MARKET. only a few rappers can go platinum. 2 from a different era. 2 from this new era So yeah Ross still A list in todays market.
