[Verse 1 - Cam'ron]
When I was 11 got the toolie thick
My uncle pulled me to the side
And he schooled me quick, told me some gooey shyt
You can't get paid in a earth this big?
You worthless kid. nikka don't deserve to live
Go and get it motherfukker, if you murder kids
Bottle up carbohydrates and preservatives
He got hit up that same night
But ever since my dough, my flow, and my ho game been tight
Puns of pearls, yo tongue will twirl, looka here
Booger bear, I'll have you up in hooker gear, I swear
I was doing, Lex pursuing, nikkas be wired like Western Union
Short like next to Ewing, head for truant, only set was ruined
Phony checks was fluent, listen hear me out
I'm from a cocaine block, with some plain clothes cops
Where the sun don't rise, but the rain don't stop
The pain don't stop, but my brain don't stop
Ain't no lockouts, the game don't stop
Every month you change yo locks, change yo spot
Get a little smart, want to change yo tops
Rearrange yo rocks you got a gang of friends, money
You got Ben's arranged money, have a Benz or Range money
But if I get knocked, I ain't got no bail
But I come on the weekends, Pablo jail
See I came a long way, that's living the wrong way
That's sniffing the po-na, that's sipping the cog-na, hey
You wanna be a star, you have ya own day
From where they play ball, drink and get a buzz
Reminiscing on what a good kid he was
I don't know what happened, all he did is what he loved
That's when you opposing me, Killa get the rosary
fukk this rap shyt, I'll die for mine, motherfukker

:umad: several people have agreed.

Cam was more emotional, Juelz was hungrier than P the beat is more cinematic and grandiose. The imagery is better too you've got Juelz pleading for another brick, Cam's conversation with the fiend. Part 2>>
I know and I'm sitting here like :dahell:

I never gave pt 2 a chance to be honest

I can't even remember what the hook or beat is like

PT 2 is ass.

Losin weight will always be a classic to me, and whoever made that beat deserves their flowers. That bassline alone is hypnotic. Cam was in his bag with that classic.

It definitely is

Feel like Purple Haze is the definitive Cam album, good album and crazy entertaining but he's in full cartoon character mode for most of it.

S.D.E. was more personal and authentic but still entertaining. Digga killed it from a production standpoint too. Find myself going back to it more than any Cam album at this point

I like both of those albums, Purple Haze will always be one of my faves personally.... As you said it was entertaining all the way through .

Now to the subject at hand Losin Weight is a classic, yes.
