Cam'ron's Purple Haze release date was his biggest blunder ever as an artist.

[vdfebduderocks]

Dipset always had the streets on lock with all the diplomat albums and mixtapes . Relevance wasn't an issue with them until after 2006. Ballin was the Dipset peak.... Cam had a long leave of absence right after Killa Season which basically led to his decline. Juelz got lazy after 2006. Jim Jones got caught up in a mess with Dame and couldn't really figure things out which led to Love & Hip Hop.... Max B's in jail....

The 50 Cent run actually hurt State Property more than Dipset.

PHEW



I lost count of how many people wanted this on a mix CD in high school

that shyt was back then and still is now. you remember when some girl who was supposedly his ex made a response record to that bullshyt only for someone to expose that bs as a publicity stunt?



Man, let me stop... that decade was called the lost decade for a reason.

Fif literally did Cam on some "If I'm dying your coming with me" type shyt , son had resort to causing diversion within the set by using deception tactics instead of keeping it lyrical

Maaaaan, "Curtis" was really the nail in the coffin.

Yeah, Coke bought Vitamin Water for m(b?)illions and I Get Money made some noise, but coming second to Kanye in their semi-beef and losing to Cam in their real beef sealed the deal. Didn't at all help that it was his worst album to date at the time.

Crazy how both 50 and Cam just fizzled out.

"We like Jimmy better anyway........ballin "

Absolutely pathetic looking back on it.

Fifty knew he was done by late 06, he even did a SMACK DVD and saw the MTV hottest emcees list and he was ranked 7th .. and he asked smack “damn people really not fukking with me anymore” .. He took down Cam with him in the process

When this joint dropped... I thought it was over



Didn't make the album

shyt had me mad asl

 

[A Tribe Called Quest ™]

Facts.

Around that time, anything New York related that wasn’t G-Unit (minus Jay) wasn’t getting much attention.

Jadas highest selling album came it in 04

 

[KravenMorehead™]

I just realised that's "bubbles" aka andre royo

That's what the funny part about that whole "before I self destruct" album that he put out after Curtis. He already did that shyt in 05. Kanye had next so he basically passed him the torch with that Kanye vs 50 competition he did before his album dropped.

I dunno about losing to cam in real life though. I know they argued on hot 97 about album sales, something went down after that and then this video emerged.



If anything, that beef with 50 was the end of the dipset run especially with Tru life, loon, max b on their asses. I remember hearing the dips getting punked every week and their affiliates getting either robbed, shot, beat up or murdered every other week or month. They soon became food in every state. Cam got ran out of Harlem and was singing about how he was getting it in Ohio. It was a bad time for cam.

Edit: forgot about this. Someone else in here mentioned it about how 50 had the core members of dipset turn against cam. He brought them out on rap city on some heel turn shyt.

there was rumor that someone from universal greenlight the kanye/50 to help wreck 50's career because 50 didn't share any of the vitamin water with them

 

[King Sun]

the last great album by cam to me.

 

[Redwood]

Does Cams music have replay value? I never hear anyone playing that old shyt.

Killa Cam still goes hard in the whip

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

Does Cams music have replay value? I never hear anyone playing that old shyt.

I cut PH down to like 14 songs

Get Down
Killa Cam
Leave Me Alone Pt 2
Down And Out
Harlem Streets
Girls
Soap Opera
Bubble Music
More Reasons
Family Ties
Get Em Girls
Dipset Forever

Cant remember the rest ( ) but cut down it's a classic to me at least. Fluff and filler aside Purple Haze is Cam's best album to me. I think a lot of people who hated on it literally didn't understand it. He was damn near in his Rae/Ghostface bag. You had to really listen and study what he was saying to get it... most people don't want to do that kind of work

I always like the original version with the soul sample as the hook even more than the Jaheim one





But I cant find the full version with all 3 Cam verses

swear i Had it on a CD back in the day but now its like it dont exist

Kay Slay took so much joy in cutting songs after 1 verse
