    Crime Pays ....

    I just listened to the entire thing in full.. and totally unbiased it's not a good album. Don't get me wrong, he has some songs that I will be saving on my Itunes such as Curve, I Hate My Job, Silky, and I Get It In Ohio is playable but come on people the entire thing as a whole cohesive album is wretched. Let me clear up what Im saying though so I don't get fully flamed by the Cam fans.. his lyrical approach actually is still on point (which shows to me he can still make a solid album) but the production is horrrrible. It really goes to show you that Cam needs that classic Heatmakerz, Rocafella era sound to fit his style.. just look at these tracks below..

    Who- You think the beat is going to go hard but it just tails off into some horrible Get Em Girls cheap re-make.

    You Know What's Up- The features are so ****ing corny. It feels like a horrible Nate Dogg impersonator over a lame concept for the song. This is so unlike Cam.. this type of record.

    Spend The Night- Did Killa Cam really get over an techno beat?? Make it Hot by Wiz Khalfia works.. this doesn't at all.

    Chalupa- The ****ing synth makes my ears want to explode. A basic dumbed down drum pattern over a weak Cam verse.. come on at this point in the album I am getting pissed off.

    Cookies N Apple Juice- This is a beat for OJ Da Juiceman and Gucci Mane.. not Cam'ron. It's a pure southern sound which for all the NYC Cam fans is not flying.

    Homicide- Nothing special and is chalked full of the southern drum rolls.. zZzzZ.. a song you can easily pass on when listening to an album. Not to mention the hook is terrible.

    Got it for Cheap- see Clipse's Got It For Cheap for a good song with this title.


    I just feel like Cam went into the studio and didn't pick a cohesive sound like on albums before. This dissapointed me and even some true Cam fans I know. I cant even understand why people would give it 4/5 or even 3.5/ 5... it has some nice songs (the ones I named above) but overall falls flat. If this was the track list, it would have been a lot better.

    1. Cookin Up Intro
    2. Never Ever
    3. Curve
    4. Skit
    5. Silky (No ****)
    6. Get It In Ohio
    7. I Hate My Job
    8. Get It Get It
    9. Skit
    10. Bottom of the ***** Hole

    I was listening to it in the car today. I heard like the first 7 or 8 tracks its cool so far.

    I'm really feelin "I used to Get it In Ohio" that's a classic Cam joint.

      I actually dont want to officially give my opinion on this album, until tommorow morning when i drive to best buy and actually buy the real thing....that just way i am. I like hearing the store bought version, and then reviewing it.

      I will agree about a few things you said, Cam isn't getting the beats like use to. I mean yeah he gets some great midlevel beats at times, but it helps when your rapping over Def Jam beats. I agree 100%. Theres a difference between great midlevel quality beats and Major Great quality beats. In fairness to Cam, I think every rapper needs great beats. Imagine Jay-Z over independent style beats. He'd still be real nice, but it helps when your having Kanye behind the board.

      From listening to the burned version, I have to admit, I was a little let down. Its not a bad album, but personally I don't think its better than Killa Season. But like I said, I'll have a full analysis tommorow.

        I also agree that cookies and some apple juice is wack, and I don't like chalupa either.

        I actually liked spend the night tho...

          i respect that, i personally like the album alot but its not as good as it could have been.

          I do like chalupa but i dont like cookies and applejuice...and i think the intro is overrated. Homicide is also an average track in my opinion, not as good as some people say it is.

            I think theres a chance I could like it alot too. I'm not ruling that out.

            I'm going to listen to the real copy thouroughly tommorow.

            Maybe my opinion will change. I mean I don't dislike it either, just felt a little let down...
