Cam'Ron and The Diplomats in 2003-2005 was something else. They had a style and orginality that nobody else was bringing. Some of their beats were really hard to rap to but they smashed them with unique and experimental bars.
“Canary burgundy, I call it lemon red. Yellow diamonds in my ear call em’ lemon heads. Lemon head, end up dead, ice like Winnipeg. Gemstones, Flinstones, you can say I’m friends with Fred.” That was shit back in the days 😂😂💯💯💯
Just shot in both arms in a lambo. Drives to hospital. lol. His last few "mixtape albums" havnt been as solid as Purple Haze. One of the greatest. Kanye put in work
That's what made the versuz so great. Dipset was dope as fuck and they have STUPID hits. So even though they got murked by the LOX you still turned up when their songs hit. I just wish they were true friends like LOX were. Imagine the Verzuz if BOTH groups were hella in sync.... man
Man this flow is dope as fuck. The only way you can call these nursery rhymes is if you don’t know what the words mean. Ironically the ability to accomplish this as an emcee makes the shit even more dope. The man wouldn’t have stayed in the conversation for all of these years if he wasn’t nice.
This is it. In a very weird way (for me) Cam served as a precursor to MF DOOM. They rap about completely different things - but there is something weirdly similar about their “essence” with regards to their choice of rhymes. DOOM is obviously to another degree.
@@marvaff6878 I definitely can see the similarities as far as both of them placing their rhymes in an unorthodox spot within the sentence. And rhyming multiple times within each sentence.
This may sound hard to believe, but from a purely technical standpoint, according to data analyzing multiple rappers, Cam came out on top. He was number one; MF Doom number two. This comes from Rapmetrics years back, so it might be different now, though. But anyways, people always argue about GOATS and almost all of it cones down to opinion, but again, an actual data-based study placed him as the true GOAT. It's hard to digest at first. Or at least it was for me, because I didn't/don't always like Cam's music, and refused to see him in any way above Doom and some of my favorite emcees at the time. The more of his music I honestly and openly listened to, though, I realized it's true; lyrically, Cam'ron is low key one of the greats.
@@xibear4341 whoever put mf doom in the same category as camron is an idiot, mf doom is hands down a legend, and camron is just another mainstream rapper ...the villain is definitely in the top 5 true mc's of all time.
@@marcelbey-el1947 Doom is d-league compared to Cole and Kung Fu Kenny. Doom is a 20year plus vet with no mainstream success, and mainstream includes international success. In the worlds perspective Cole And Kendrick are better, and so is Cam'ron, Doom def is underneath Cam, so yeah doom doesnt belong in the same sentence.
He was that rapper back in the days. Jay-Z felt threatened just to come back from retirement just to stop Dame Dash making Cam the Vice President of Roc-a Fella. That should tell you something
I never really dug this joint but for some reason it's been stuck in my head for the past week. "she agreed that i'm loony/but proceeded to moon me" classic XD
Cam was one the only rappers that had everything he was talking about in the song in the actual video. Example: "Range look like laffy taffy"; actually has a bright pink Range Rover.
Purple Haze was released in 2004, the same year UA-cam was birthed. Coincidence? I think not. Without Sir Cameron Giles' efforts, UA-cam's computers would not have 'puted. Thank you Killa Cam for all of your expertise in the tech world. #HarlemWorld
Listen Cam knows he’s not the worlds greatest lyricist but his metaphors, bars and hook lines are always unique and different.he is a true rep of Harlem n.y. Harlem dudes really about dressing fly from head to toe nicest gear,and hustling.he group up young around rich porter,AZ,Alpo during that era. That’s how them guys moves
This was a movement lmao when they came out we were all wearing pink and crazy ass outfits man Dipset had my whole school an everyone I know on it!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
the whole diplomats were trendsetters for the whole freaking culture..thru,,style,,fashion,unity,collabs,,beat selections,movements,swag,each emebr went out n did they own thing and they were the shit together..great business minds,brands n they were hood but clean cut and ddint switch up for nobody jus evolve n they js so happend to be from HARLEMM.....they breed superstars statstics ,history and the renaissances proves it..shoutout to them all n my nigga cam was always the man even when mase left
If u wasn’t there u could never understand the diplomats movement and the legend Cam is

***** that battle would be fire. they have history with the failed dipset deal
trudon yup... i remember that story Clips was talking bout
Just shot in both arms in a lambo. Drives to hospital. lol. His last few "mixtape albums" havnt been as solid as Purple Haze. One of the greatest. Kanye put in work
He was definitely ahead of the time when it comes to the lyrics, flow, word play, and punchline
Henry XII Camron had to be doing something right for biggie to cosign him and said that he was really nice.
Torey Townsend didn’t even know Biggie co-signed Cam
@@MrMessyb naah..he wanted to Sign him but past (dead)
m
Ahead of the time? We’ve moved backwards, if anything. He was light years of where we are today and back in his day
Dips lost the verzus but I'm still a big cam fan. "I tell em Nevermind!"
Did he even do this song?
Same bro...I fuck with killa
That's what made the versuz so great. Dipset was dope as fuck and they have STUPID hits. So even though they got murked by the LOX you still turned up when their songs hit. I just wish they were true friends like LOX were. Imagine the Verzuz if BOTH groups were hella in sync.... man

I never really dug this joint but for some reason it's been stuck in my head for the past week. "she agreed that i'm loony/but proceeded to moon me" classic XD
Cam had and has one of thee most original, simple-yet-complex, illest flows ever.
Definitely
Camron might be the most under rated MC of all time. If I’m wrong tell me who is??
Cam is my GOAT 🐐
no one was touching cam's drip then and now. to this day, no rapper has come close.
Cam was one the only rappers that had everything he was talking about in the song in the actual video. Example: "Range look like laffy taffy"; actually has a bright pink Range Rover.
