I mean, Crank's the same dude that says The Wire is trash. His opinion has BEEN voided on any Yuku-hosted message board.

My only complaint is I think he missed his last chance at being relevant. This man had all the stars lined up for him to succeed with this album (long hiatus, Dip Set break up/internal beef publicity, classic interviews, MEAN club record). All he had to do was put out a QUALITY album and the rest of the pieces would have fell into place.

His arrogance really may have killed his career this time around.

[that guy]

Never was a fan of Cam, but this album is a 4.5/5 in my book. I actually used to hate Cam and the Diplomats, I still think their music is extremely overratedby many. As for the album I didn't skip one track and the album overall reminds me of the first time I heard albums like Dah Shinin, I don't reallyknow why.

I tend to be a harsh critic of beats and I won't really listen to something with a wack beat unless the rhymes are amazing, but that doesn't reallyapply to this album. The beats are solid and like someone said earlier they are reminiscent of songs like Get Em Girls. The other songs are feel goods songs,nothing wack on this album in my opinion and if you like east coast hip-hop of any kind this is definately something that you have to give a spin to.

And Cam is a comedian, I was

every once in a while.

 

[cquan05]

Only put a few of the songs onto the ipod......."Let's Talk About" gets constant play

 

[i get paper]

trash

This %@@@@ said Crime Pays reminded him of Dah Shinin'? How? It's getting to the point I hope an a cappella version of this albums(Relapse too) comesout. Just to see if something better can be made cuz the lyrics are mos def there.

I don't really know why it did, I was simply listening to it and I thought of the Dah Shinin. I don't get why so many people think these beats arewack, I mean their could be better beats for some, but it wasn't that bad.

I could've done without 3 or 4 tracks but I still like this album a lot.

Will be copping on tuesday

 

[mcflyyy]

purple haze is after crime pays in my itunes so i just listened to the both of them

and oh, how far this guy has fallen

when he was with the roc, he clearly had an a&r for his beats and albums and some guidance from dame

since then, it's just been over for him

in fact, i think this album is an experiment to see if a major recording artist can create an album for $10,000

he picked the worst araab beats i've ever heard in my life (chalupa? lmao)

he used this same cornball flow

it seems like he just threw the 20 songs he's made since his eye healed up and threw em on a disc

*throws on relapse*

 

[noslickremarks]

I seriously Think he put this out to get out his contract!!!
this album isnt as bad as some people in here made it seem
