Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Horse & Carriage rmx all the way

Yep

A classic but I got Harlem Streets.

Let Me Know

LET ME KNOW

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

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

62 Pick Up is easily a top 5 Mega song.

Is Dipset huge over there or something?

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

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."

hahahaa

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

but i love cam'ron

maybe british people are still really into dipset and j0rd4n knows something that i dont

xpost

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

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

stems from album ruling

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

but not proto-lil b in it not being intentional

Really does depend on what you mean by intentional

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

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

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

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

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

i.e. the weirdo euro thing is news to me

what best of lists???

ehh a lot of rock publications were riding for 'purple haze' back in the day

Erm mates, this is the list I was discussing at our Brighton FAP (Trent, I still say sending Goeller to Arsenal is a piss-cunt move, mate!). Here it is:

BEST HIP HOP AND RAP CDS 2000-2010
1. Dizzee Rascal - Dizzee Sez
2. Cam'ron - Purple Haze
3. Ludacris - Chicken and Beer
4. Big and Rich - s/t
5. The Streets - Pirate Materials
6. Massive Attack - The Massive Attack Show
7. Eminem - The Eminem Shoe
8. Madlib / Peanut Butter Wolf - Beats in Beats
9. MIA - Galaga
10. Santogold - Santogold Live
