even with its flaws, i'll still call it a classic as i did back then.
the only thing that stops it being that outright classic is the shift it takes in the second half.



it starts off absolutely flawless hits an almighty bump with Girls then goes back to sounding beautiful till Dopeman. from there on out the album goes all over the place which takes away from the cohesiveness the album had up to that point. too many sonic shifts from there on out.

Dopeman, Family Ties, Adrenaline are good songs but don't fit what the album was by that point. Hey Lady was basically an x-rated version of Girls. only one should have been on the album and it shouldn't have been Girls. Shake, I never liked then it finishes lovely with Get Em Girls, Dipset Forever and Take Em To Church.

even the skits hold up on here.
Mizzles first bit is amusing, the Rude Boy skit is still funny and the Chicken Head skit is an all timer.

if the album was..

Intro
More Gangsta Music
Get Down
Welcome To Purple Haze (Skit)
Killa Cam
Leave Me Alone Pt.2
Down & Out
Harlem Streets
Rude Boy (Skit)
Hey Lady
I'm A Chicken Head (Skit)
Soap Opera
O.T. (Skit)
Bubble Music
More Reasons
The Block (Skit)
Get Em Girls
Take Em To Church
Dipset Forever

theres your classic.

thats without including songs that never made the final album.
Lord You Know/Long Time Coming would be been on my final cut.

all in all...this album really should have been Cam's Supreme Clientele but push backs, a poor single choice and the Dipset motto of "if its good put it on there" stopped the album from sitting alongside Ghost's body of work and instead was just another one of its sons.

It's aged very well. I never thought it was a classic, but still consider it a great album, as I do Come Home With Me. Both 4/5. Prefer CHWM of the two, but can't knock either. Cam's run at Rocafella with CHWM, Diplomatic Immunity Vol. I, & Purple Haze is ridiculously impressive.

 

[10bandz]

i was a huge cam/dipset stan back then. fukked with PH heavy, Down & Out was a great song and there was mad bangers on it. I remember the release of it got fukked up with the pushbacks and shyt though

 

[SoulController]

ehh, i used to call it classic i dont think it aged that great

More Reasons and Down & Out stand far above the rest, couple tracks got killed by clearances
