Why did Cam'ron's style change so much?

He started out with serious skills.









Now he's talking about computers putin and other lame lines. Plus his flow is much slower. The effort isn't there anymore.

Because hip hop was changing and went through a shift in the late 90's - early 00's.

Do you really think COTC, Confessions, S.D.E sounding Cam'ron would have been able to seen the success of Cam from 02-04 in the 00's? I don't think so. He changed, yeah... but I think the shift just showed how versatile he can be and I love that about Cam'Ron.

That "computers Putin" line is 8 years old

I wish you nikkas who don't listen to Cam would stop trying to evaluate his music. Y'all judge him off singles from songs almost a decade old and act like they're new lines.

Also, that computers putin line as a reference is so played out in terms of criticizing his lyrical ability because its a needle in a haystack of really dope shyt Cam'Ron said later in his career.. yeah, hes said some corny shyt but what rapper hasn't? I can think of about 50 dope ass quoteables and metaphors Cam has made for every corny line hes said, so that shyt is IRRELEVANT to me.

Exactly.

Every time you ask someone why they think Cam is wack they'll reference the same 1-2 lines, that he said 8 years ago. As if every rapper in the world doesn't have a wack line here or there. People are sheep and are stupid as hell

Damn the :cape: for Cam is on another level.

There are other subpar lines from him but I'm not going to waste time listing all of them.

Just kind of surprised that people are trying to act like he hasn't regressed. It's still just my opinion so whatever. :yeshrug:
