Cam is a top 5 Rapper from last 15 years

[mobbinfms]

Besides all the classic albums they claim he has they'll try to convince you that he was sum mega superstar (when he has only one successful album) or that the Dipset movement was the biggest thing in hip hop history

The craziest thing about this thread is that a weakness (his discography) is being presented as a strength. Classic propaganda.

 

[mobbinfms]

A lot of careers, cultural shifts, etc been off just the swag alone. Killa Cam aka fleadagawd is arguably one of the most influential rappers of all time.

That's fine - but don't use that to bolster a weak discography and claim he is a GOAT rapper.

Yo, I don't understand how these cats sip daiquiris
Like it's all good down at the hit factory
Be on 54th, whole clique backing me
All that click clackery takes your wrist wrappery
I ain't no rapper, b, I skeet Uzis
And I can't act, turned down 3 movies
So gimme your chain, your jewels and your cash
And your fast food, I'll eat your food fast
My rude ass, carries 3 weapons
And I'll give your face a c-section and keep stepping
Who else in a hurry to mirk
We kill girls, rape em', bury their skirts
Imagine me wake up 7:30 for work (what?!)
I'd rather run the streets 7:30 with work
But met this knucklehead, thought he want a order
Came and asked me stop pitching to his daughter
Tell me it's the man, can't be
Be glad I'm not in her damn panties
Got her damn handy
How you going to ever ask stop carrying candy
I'm going to sell to anybody in your damn family
Your Uncle Tom, your Aunt Tammy, your Grandmammy
Your right hand man Randy, understand me
In Antlanta I got an outlandish land piece and a matching land
Desert-colored: Sandy

Not many here are arguing Cam can't spit or doesn't have great verses. Anyone being reasonable will agree with that. There's no reason to post verses.

Brehs... You need to consider what you use to evaluate these rappers!!

Killa was easily one of the top 5 of the last 15 years if you consider:
- Lyricism
- Fandom
- Evolution as an artist
- Trendsetting
- Timeless listening

BUT. Gotta add this in here...
If you don't mention either Styles P or Jadakiss in your top 5 of the last 15... (honorable mentions included)... I can't take you seriously.

[kj614]

SDE is by far the best Killa album...his only classic IMO.

 

[mobbinfms]

Listening to SDE again, nah Cam definitely top 5 of last 15 years. nikkas not seeing Killa

I'll add this to the list to revisit. Wasn't impressed with this album at all when it dropped though. And Let Me Knoe had me amped and anticipating too.

 

[mobbinfms]

No he doesn't. And no he isn't.

Not sure what is meant by credentials, but saying Cam is more lyrical then Lupe is a little crazy to me. I can see Cam > Lupe overall, but 90% of Lupe's appeal is lyricism.

Why would we consider fandom?
What does that even mean? Cam never got past plat right? Or do you mean who has the most passionate stans?

I don't think I'd have Styles or Jada in my top 5. What classics albums do you think either has?

 

[mrken12]

No he doesn't. And no he isn't.

I really hope that you're not trying to say that Cam has better lyrics than Lupe.

Lyricism?

Fandom? What are some examples? It can't be sales because only one album went platinum. And this was during the time when people like Lil Flip went platinum.

Evolution? He's regressed as an artist.
