    Pros: Lyrics and beats (real hip hop not that shit 50 does)

    Cons: none

    This is a modern classic. Cam'ron's lyrical performance on this cd is one that is unmatched even by Jay-Z. This is a cd of true street hip hop fans, if you like commerical rap this ain't fo u but this is a must have.

Pro Reviews: Purple Haze

  • All Music Guide

    Released within months of Jim Jones' On My Way to Church, the second volume of the Diplomats' Diplomatic Immunity, and another flurry of mixtapes, Cam'ron's fourth album ("Previously written in 2001," as announced in the intro) is evenly divided between strong and weak tracks. This lack of quality control will both provide ammo for Diplomat haters and frustrate Diplomat supporters, even if there's a durable 45minute album in here somewhere. The backing track of "Girls," a featherlight translation of Cyndi Lauper's "Just Wanna Have Fun," belongs on a teen pop record it's such a folly that it makes you wonder if somebody dared Cam'ron to release it. "Harlem Streets" fares only a little better, with the theme from "Hill Street Blues" used to distracting and detracting effect perhaps the cues should've taken from Kool G Rap DJ Polo's "Ill Street Blues" instead. On the other side, a pair of soulsteeped productions from Kanye West ("Down and Out," built on William Bell's "Strung Out") and... the Westinspired Pop Versatile ("Soap Opera," using Smokey Robinson's "MerryGoRound") help prop the album back up, and Heatmakerz's rallying "More Gangsta Music" features some of Juelz Santana's infectious youthful energy. Though it has been two years since Cam'ron's last solo album, there's so much Diplomataffiliated material stuffing the racks that even the most devoted followers must be on the verge of overdosing on the crew's bewildering, nonsensical rhymes. "Cause I feed you well/Every sneaker, hell/You eat Louis, sht Gucci, breathe Chanel/Karl Lagerfeld, acting like Gargamel" wins the prize on this release. Inconsistencies and gratuitous running time be damned, a lot of rap fans will be happy just to have another Cam'ron album to devour. Fellow Diplomats JR Writer, Jim Jones, and Freeky Zekey make appearances, along with Twista and Jaheim. - Andy Kellman, All Music Guide Read more Less
