lets be real, camp lo was talking str8 gibberish, they were the original mumble rappers

[PhonZhi]

Exactly isn't hard to figure out if you understand the 70's era. They are vivid writers. They say stuff cats are saying now but just flipped it in a different way. Cats like Jay Z lifted heavy from them. They were the first to coin the term "lit" also over 20 years ago

be from the UK and be more in tune with black americana than a black american brehs

be a black american and dismiss highly intelligent complex black american slang as jibberish brehs

Can We Rock...Whats Up Doc was the ultimate corny ass track. Even Shaq big ass jumped on the track magnifying the corn by 100 fold.

Camp lo came up through an era where groups like fu-schnikens and Das EFX were prominent not being completely understood all the time on the MIC (even though what was being said made sense if you read the lyrics sheet)......they made sense but having to be analyzed lyrically in that era was a GOOD thing .....it meant thought was being put into it and it made fans decipher something. I never took the time to decipher to much of camp lo's joints but the songs were so dope (first album) I never felt the need to.....



Wouldn't call it gibberish tho....just made to decipher

This. And what a thread backfire


I saw the "a la hottie car, 54" line and read it as a fly car from 1954. Like an old school

Reading the genius definition, it's a cop car, from the show calling car 54, which is set in the Bronx, their borough




nikkas was going deep with the references. Back when lyrics was in the cd booklet and you would read them shyts before, during and after playing the cd 55648 times

They're not "mumble rap" per say, but I'm not gonna pretend that 95% of people don't really understand what they're saying. We listen to them for beats and flows, and cadences. This is not the first time I"ve heard someone say this about them.
