Cam'ron - Killa Season Rap's Clay Aiken Is Back! by: Malik Sinsear, for Entertainment
Now that I think about it, the Dips are probably number one on my stump list. With all the fans they have, they haven’t really sold many records since Cam’s Come Home With Me album back in 2002, they dress like Care Bears and they sign another wack C-tier rapper every two weeks. On Cam’s new CD, Killa Season, that is officially the accompanying soundtrack for the recently released movie with the same title, one of the aforementioned C-tier Dipsticks, 40-Cal, totally wastes a minute and change of everyone’s life with a verse I’m hoping he wrote on the back of a paper bag in route to the studio. I’m assuming Cam lost big to this guy in a game of Cee-lo and didn’t have the cash to cover and so had to throw him on his CD. After hearing the playback and understanding how much of a set back it was, Cam was forced to bring out one of the best beats on the record with the real Killa Season Intro. The shit sounds like what He-Man works out to when he’s getting right for the Eternia crime fighting season. Cam’s wordplay on the track is decent, but the beat makes the track, which I’ve come to the conclusion illustrates this and every Diplomat related album: If the beat is incredible, then maybe you can stomach the song. Specifically here, every song on Killa Season is as hit or miss as a female Asian driver on her way to a cheap clothing store. A totally overused sample on Leave You Alone makes me wish Cam left it off the album, while edgy production reminiscent of one of his earlier tracks Dial M For Murder keeps you interested enough to listen to We Make Change. Unfortunately, it has one of the most forced chorus’ you’ve ever heard until you listen to the rest of the album. Particularly on Girls, Cash, Cars which is almost okay until Cam confidently exclaims, “Come and deal with the kids, we balling, big baby,” and then goes on to repeat the words girls, cash and cars like 15 times for no apparent reason other than reaching the three-minute mark with the song. That’s just bad music. Other than a couple of nice verses from Hell Rell and songs that Jay-Z has tried his best to ignore (You Gotta Love It featuring Max B, Touch It Or Not featuring Lil’ Wayne) there’s nothing else worth talking about regarding this album except its first week numbers after all the Dipstans decide whether they’re going to actually buy one of these albums this time around. .

There
are few things in this world I thoroughly don’t
understand—like I can’t even comprehend how they’re
relevant, much less popular. Clay Aiken’s career, George
W. Bush’s presidency and unicorns are among the incomprehensible
for me. Another thing that totally baffles me is the popularity
of Cam’ron Giles and his Diplomat crew a.k.a. Dip Set.
