    Pitchfork is officially retarded. "Cam's flow is a thing of beauty." Maybe for trying to get your two year old with nursery rhymes. This albums alright, the beats can be anywhere from spectacular to horse shit. Worth a download maybe. You'll probably delete two thirds of it though.

    Cam is the hottest especially when w/ the dips. Purple Haze is fire hands down.

    Production: 7.75 Lyrics: 6 If Cam was more focused, he could be the thugged-rugged version of MF DOOM lyrically. He slings the multi-syllabic flow comfortably, but empty lyrics with redundant subject matter drove me bored midway. Decent beats save this release. Kanye-produced "Dip-Set Forever" is sonically the best final track. It would have been a great ending if he didn't choose to place that BS mixtape quality "Take 'Em To Church" last. It sounds like the dude produced the beat in 10 minutes. Un Kasa's four bars on that track outshines most of Cam's performance. And Jim Jones appearance embarrasses Cam on "The Dope Man". A high point though is that the skits are actually funny. This will be the lone Dipset-affiliated CD in a while. If you choose to purchase this CD, keep in mind that there will be disappoint on nearly every track.… Expand

    Once again, Cam proves why he is hip-hop's best guilty pleasure. [17 Dec 2004, p.84]

    Certainly confirms him as one of hip-hop's most gifted wordsmiths. [8 Jan 2005, p.45]
