Cam'ron has been around the block a few times, having worked with Puff Daddy, Notorious B.I.G., and Ol' Dirty Bastard in his time. He's obviously learned a few things from these rap masters, as well as from bitter personal experience, as evidenced by the hygiene lesson of "On Fire Tonight," which is all about condoms, and the wearing of them, in explicit situations. The Harlem rapper's third CD is full of gritty lessons in street life as well as instructions in sexual etiquette, and cuts such as "Welcome to New York City" function both as bravado and warning shots to the unwary.
The production is a mix of '70s and '80s samples and brutally simple, down-and-dirty beats, giving the whole enterprise a grainy feel that's a world away from the big-pimpin' efforts of many of Cam'rons peers. Despite his classy pedigree, the rapper is obviously devoted to keeping it real, as shown by the list of his needs and wants in "I Just Wanna." And you won't find a better document of a thug's night out in New York City than is contained within the horn-sample-heavy "Boy Boy."
Industry Reviews
3.5 discs out of 5 - ...Compelling...his most polished to date, combining raw humor and tough talk with a stellar beat selection that closely follows Jay-Z's BLUEPRINT...
Vibe (07/01/2002)
6 out of 10 - ...Cam'ron finally proves himself imaginative enough to break out of the mental ghetto he calls home.
NME (06/22/2002)
3 stars out of 5 - ...Redeemed by its exceedingly lush production....Cam is a generally sharp MC with a gift for internal rhyme schemes...
