What is Camron's overall Legacy in Hip Hop?

[Mvpbrodie93]

Not to mention he's the funniest rapper ever IMO. Too many classic moments, quotes, and interviews.(Bill oreily interview with dame for Ex)

 

[urhinest]

The nigga that had dudes wearing pink for about 2 years

 

[still-SBP]

His multisyllable rhyming style

 

[usmarin3]

skill wise he is a second teir rapper, like he was never on that Big, Nas,etc level but he definitely had a impact on the game. It's too bad a lot of the other shit (persona) became bigger than his music.

 

[Mvpbrodie93]

Only thing he's missing IMO is that classic album.

I hate how he makes up words just so it will rhyme sometimes. Love Cam from CotC tho. and Purple Haze, Confessions of Fire, and SDE.

 

[lamontbdc]

Nigga do be doin that. But aside from that kinda thing from time to time, he's way nicer from a rhyme skill standpoint than he ever gets credit for. That's why he does so well in the rapcity booth and in battles, becuase with that type of shit he can abandon the ridiculous subject matter like wet wipes he writes about and just go for broke rapping. He's at his best when he does that. If somebody can youtube that rap city freestyle where they rap over the Scarface "My Block" beat Juels and Jimmy tried the best they could and still couldn't outshine a guy wearing pink and counting money very bored with it while killin it rappin. So TS his overall legacy can be summed up watching that rap city freestyle as a career metaphor. He coulda did whatever he wanted to in this rap game but I think he gets bored with being nicer than his peers. From his days of running around with Ma$e to the UNtertainment days with Him and Charle Baltimore to the dipset days to him and Vado....He's always rapped nice enough to be respected and shine brighter than the peers he's been around, it's just that other nonsence pertaining to the business practices behind the scences and shakey stability from one faction of crews to the next pair of peers has kept him from classics to go along with the Jays and Pacs and B.I.G' s and Cubes

 

[Mvpbrodie93]

I prefer the dreams freestyle to the my block freestyle but I see your point

 

[Therecanonlybeone]

Bigup Killa Cam.. Dude is nice.

 

[CeLLaR-DooR]

In reality thats wat makes an artist great. Cam has one of the funniest personalities in the game, like 50, kanye, 2pac, they have a strong charecter that seperates them from everyone else. Cam'ron is great jus off comin up with ideas.

Personality is the difference between a good artist and and a great artist. I love the new artist comin out (J.cole, Kendrick, krit) but they dont have mind drawing personalities, they kinda boring, like when they have interviews 95% of the time they say the thing and i already know what they gonna say.

Cam

50

Pac

Ye

Wu tang

DMX

Drake

Big sean

Redman

made the game interesting and fun based off their personalities.
