Cam'ron - Purple Haze

Cam'ron's records command admiration from a wide spectrum of hip-hoppers: conscious to crunk to gangsta. Cam and his Dipset stick to the same production formula (on "Get Down," for example) that graced his previous monster hit, "Oh Boy": sped-up samples and lots of hooks. Therefore, it seems only natural that he would team up with Kanye West--another rap duke who's taken this style to the bank--and on "Dip-Set Forever" and "Down and Out" they share sped-up samples together. But if drugs (using, selling, or importing) and sexploits aren't your thing, Purple Haze may come off a bit lyrically linear. Cam'ron also plunders pop-culture samples ranging from the Hill Street Blues TV theme ("Harlem Streets") to Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want to Fun" ("Girls"), often to questionable effect. "Adrenaline," however, teams two MCs with the freakiest flows on the planet, Twista and Psycho Drama, to produce menacing, low-BPM G-funk at its finest. --Dalton Higgins Amazon.com

 Makes me want to move out NY
But I don't see the reason why. The south ain't much better. cam can't rap for s***. He spits some of the worst bars I ever heard. But what I find so crazy. Is that he started brothers dressin up in pink like fa**ots. The only thing this album has is beats. But rap is beats and rhymes. Cam is seriously missing the latter. January 9, 2008

One or two good tracks, the rest pretty average...has this irretating "Killa" announcement before each song...need to beg Rock-a-fella records for forgiveness and see the light again... December 14, 2007

 Cam'ron best album
YO this CD is good as hell its Cam'rons best album, its way better than killa season. This cd showed how much potential dispet had when they were with rocafella. every CD they dropped when they were with the roc was good as hell, now there just average. May 17, 2007

 Tight album.
This is could be Cam's best effort. I'd have to say that this, Come Home With Me, and Killa Season are his best albums. The production on this album was TIGHT and the lyrics were dope. Purple Haze does not disappoint and this is well worth the money. You will like this especially if you like Dipset or have been following Cam'ron his whole career. Every song on here is either HOT or GOOD and none of the songs are wack. Go pick this one up now!

This album is top notch, camrons unique way of spittin and his play of words make him one of tha best n orginal mc's about. every track on this album is the bollocks, especially down n out ft kanye and leave me alone pt 2. any one who thinks cam is wack listen to this album n appreciate the way in which he spits street lyrics with his unique twist over some well produced beats. camron does what other rappers wudnt spittin over beats u wudnt expect a rapper to spit to, but it works.
this albums one of tha best about, i see a great future for the Dip's. May 26, 2006
