Because it's weird that there are so many and it's a gravely important thing to know about yourself.

that this thread was started by a british person is all you need to know about cam'ron's fanbase

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 14 May 2013 03:06 (thirteen years ago)

i only know that hill st blues theme from cormega 62 pickup

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6DJtRVdDWw

he just got knocked now he's out on bail
for a semi automatic and an undercover sale
trained mercenary with a heart that's cold
pushin an acura at seventeen years old
in the passenger seat smokin a blunt
with shine on any live nigga would want
somebody runs up on him and you know what they want
tellin shorty run the jewels and don't try to front
shorty reaches for the nine but before he can shoot
blood splattered in the 92 acura coupe

dylannn, Tuesday, 14 May 2013 03:10 (thirteen years ago)

62 Pick Up is easily a top 5 Mega song.

Is Dipset huge over there or something?

Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Tuesday, 14 May 2013 03:18 (thirteen years ago)

we're a decade away from the days of british music writer guys being fascinated by cam'ron. i think this is fair game.

dylannn, Tuesday, 14 May 2013 03:21 (thirteen years ago)

i dunno. i think if you check back into the ilm archives there's lots of

Well, mates, this new Cam'ron CD is quite banging. I feel like apart from Dizzee Rascal, the Diplomats under the leadership of Cam'ron have reinvigorated hip-hop and rap music. His sartorial choices and apocalyptic misanthropy remind me of a young Mark E. Smith on "sizzurp."

i was just trolling on a "only weirdo euro fetishists care about cam'ron still" tip

but i love cam'ron

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 14 May 2013 03:28 (thirteen years ago)

I did/do find it kinda strange how much love Purple Haze garners. Always wondered where it stemmed from.

Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Tuesday, 14 May 2013 03:30 (thirteen years ago)

ah idk cam is a genius and that album is very good

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 14 May 2013 03:32 (thirteen years ago)

stems from album ruling

the late great, Tuesday, 14 May 2013 03:32 (thirteen years ago)

diplomats in general though were really proto-lil b in that they built a massive internet cult despite the music not being consistently good in any way

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 14 May 2013 03:33 (thirteen years ago)

but not proto-lil b in it not being intentional

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 14 May 2013 03:34 (thirteen years ago)

Really does depend on what you mean by intentional

Studied keyboard mash (tsrobodo), Tuesday, 14 May 2013 03:35 (thirteen years ago)

love from where?
i feel like it got a lot of love from sohh animated gif posters that werent ever into real shit and probably into youtube cooking dance rap guys now or became bronys and "weirdo euro fetishists" but i think it was kind of a joke to them too

Not disagreeing just seems like one of the three albums that like not really hip-hop fans can name form the last ten years.

Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Tuesday, 14 May 2013 03:36 (thirteen years ago)

It has found its way onto tons of best of the decade lists, idk.

Spottie_Ottie_Dope, Tuesday, 14 May 2013 03:37 (thirteen years ago)

On first read I assumed that the ManchesterMike quote was a fabrication.

Studied keyboard mash (tsrobodo), Tuesday, 14 May 2013 03:39 (thirteen years ago)

Studied keyboard mash (tsrobodo), Tuesday, 14 May 2013 03:40 (thirteen years ago)

dylannn, Tuesday, 14 May 2013 03:40 (thirteen years ago)
