I'm one of Cam's biggest fans, but he's not top 10. Top 50 of all to me, possibly. If we're talking about NYC, he might be top 25.

Cam ain't really near my top 10 but might be top 25 in NYC alone? :jbhmm:

You've got to give a (rough) list of your choices, I'm genuinely interested...

at one point, cam/ dipset was pretty much the thing i was listening to, but i've been listening to rap since the 80's so i just couldnt put'em in my top ten of all-time, but if i just started listening to rap around the mid 90's, he'd be in my top 10 easily

"And Cam's flow is a thing of beauty. His bored, arrogant voice rolls syllables around until he's hit just about every possible permutation, transforming hard consonants into thrown rocks and idly toying with drug metaphors like they're Rubik's Cubes. In Cam's world, he's the king of Harlem, moving kilos, dispatching foes, and throwing around money with Machiavellian cool. Cam has the warped eloquence of an MF Doom even when he's bragging about violence ("Observe, cock, and spray/ We hit you from a block away/ Drinking saki on a Suzuki in Osaka Bay") or conspicuous consumption ("I park in the towaway zone, chrome/ I don't care; that car a throwaway, homes")."

Purple Haze is like a Takeshi Kitano gangster movie; every moment of transcendent musical or linguistic beauty is shadowed by the spectre of death, an end so inevitable that Cam doesn't even let it get to him anymore. There's no sense of joy or exhilaration in his spending and shooting and fukking, but it's the only thing he knows.

:wow:

No classics.
Prodigy > Cam
Although Cam washed him on Losing Weight.
Can was a problem at first, he used to spit these long verses occasionally where he would just go off :wow:
Then he got lazy on Come Home With Me, then he morphed into this interesting character starting on DI I guess? To some it was the best shyt ever, to me it was a little corny and transparent. :yeshrug:
