The first half is nearly perfect., but the un-eveness of this album somehow makes it even better.

this album is hilarious. cam'ron is a terrible rapper, but he really makes me laugh. it's weird because obv he thinks he's a good rapper and i guess his real "fans" (some of them live on my block in harlem, but i'm hoping to move to greenpoint by next year) think he has some sort of talent, and i guess they don't realize that he's really just silly and good for laughs

This record is phenomenal.

I don't see how being silly and good for laughs makes a rapper "terrible. Obviously, his outrageous lines are a big part of his personae, but what stands out most to me in this album is how he alternates between sounding supremely confident and uncomfortably vulnerable.
And I get it cheaper, I cop bricks like sneakersAnd if the cops come, I just hit amnesiaBut I give you an earful, it's tearfulTold my mother I hustle, and she said be careful

Cock and sprayhit you from a block away.Drinkin' sake on a Suzuki,we in Osaka Bay.
That is fantastic. And a few lines later, he's playing it like "Bill Cosby, pourin' in the puddin'." He's on fire, for much of this record. Love the absurdist, insular overdubs, too. Nothing like Killa spitting back and forth with...Killa. Talking about shit and telling jokes that nobody else seems fully to understand. Awesome.

My favorite intro: You tryin' to get that paper. Wifey like it one minute...next minute she dontman. You know they at home watching Lifetime on the internet.

I absolutely love how Cam's default reaction to almost everything is this feigned aggravated disgust. Like this ad lib in Harlem Streets:
Turn her on, lift her arm, notice that her wrists is wrong (what's this on your arm? Pshhhhh)
Cracks me up every time.

I like the 2nd one too, but obv it don't touch the first. spinnin' it now.
feel like he coulda just made this style his ouevre and released Purple Haze's 1-11 if he'd wanted too, we could be on 12 rn
― genital giant (Neanderthal), Thursday, 30 April 2020 03:44 (five years ago)
Goodness, this album is so goddamn *entertaining*
It’s the contrast between the production/rapping that makes it so great. The sped up vocal samples are so… cute! And light! And charming! then cam’ron comes in and he’s a cruel heartless school bully. It’s great.
