True or false - Cam'ron had the style and skill set to be the GOAT
- Thread starter ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Cam’ron is one of the best rappers ever
Don’t think he had goat potential though

Elite tier but wouldn’t go as far as GOAT
Cam has become underrated over the past few years with people trying to discredit him based off his style on Purple Haze.
If you know then you’d know hes had quite a few styles and is an elite rapper.

False. He wasn't even a top 2 member of Children of the Corn in my opinion
Of the NYC GOATs he is the only one with a style that makes for this kind of reaction
Furthermore his movement was the biggest out of all in the city.

His ear for music / beats is not sharp or discipline to be the goat.
He'll let bullshyt or unmastered beats on his albums if he thinks they're cool enough or he can ride on them pause.
You see that in the quality of beat selection on parts of SDE and all of his work after diplomatic immunity. He'll settle for good enough, let a beat clearance issue fukk up a song and accept a lower quality replacement beat, or choose songs that are way too muddy or loud or poorly mixed, because he probably thought it sounded cool in the studio or he has some clever lines, and nobody would correct him.
The result is you'd get great mixtapes because there are no rules and lower standard, and you get uneven albums with clearly bad songs on them or songs that are 70% done sounding because Duke da god was anything but a disciplined AR.
Rhyming skillset, I suppose but I'm not gonna say he got bars or songs of rhyming like Nas, cool j, rakim, etc.

True
Ma$e is the only rapper God took away from us while he’still here
Mase’s flow was more pure and he would of been able to provide the requisite substance that would’ve propelled his catalog to GOAThood
Honestly his turn to God makes his relation with
look suspicious

I never understood the hype of Cam he was average at best. Had to jump on a rocafella train that was losing steam already. I always saw him as a character. I do respect the dipset movement of the early 00s tho.
Iceson Beckford
Rich In Spirit.
This video is the prime example of what I’m talking about people trying to rewrite his history.
This wasn’t every Cam verse, it was Cams style on his Fourth Solo Album. An album inspired by Supreme Clientele and Ghostface.
He had the skillset, the problem was everything else...

Beat selection
I had listened to that I hate my job track he did years back and it's one of the dopest storytelling tracks and he was past his prime..
I appreciate the track way more now
