![]() ![]() Not to say Cam'ron's career hasn't been impressive, but his rap style has always struck as an almost double-edged sword. ![]() The track also showed Cam'ron moving away from traditional rap clichés and actually using his lyrics to do something other than brag. Lead single 'My Job' has Cam at a lyrical career best speaking on the recession through storytelling. ![]() 'Crime Pays' has been billed as a return to form for Cam'ron and pretty much succeeds in that light. Over the years since ‘Purple Haze’ Cam has slowly lost interest in the rap game and shifted focus on other avenues and personal issues which seemingly impacted the disappointing 'Killa Season'. His Roc-A-Fella association went far in 2004 which is evident by the production credits being littered with names like Kanye West, The Heatmakerz, and Skitzo.

Get reacquainted with the music they made by way of the official The LOX x Dipset Cheat Sheet playlist, as curated by Apple Music host Lowkey.Review Summary: Cam'ron expands his vocabulary. Because both have catalogs that demand nods of salvation in any hood in NYC. When it comes down to The LOX versus Dipset, it’s really about whoever YOUR crew was the listening to the most. The influence of their Diplomatic Immunity era is the stuff of legend, and if we’re talking eras, one could potentially write a term paper on the multiple deviations of Cam’ron’s career.

Yonkers trio The LOX come from Dee and Waah’s Ruff Ryders crew, having gone on to make hits at Bad Boy, foster their own D-Block movement, and then deliver countless street classics as solo artists. Both collectives feature prolific MCs whose output spans decades. King of New York hasn’t been a title people have argued over since maybe the days of JAY-Z and Nas beefing, but in the time since those two titans clashed, a great many crews have claimed to, at some point, “run the city.” Two of the most deserving of said claim-The LOX and Dipset-will come together on August 3 at Madison Square Garden to showcase their very rich catalogs and face off for bragging rights. ![]()
