ARTIST: Cam'ron
ALBUM: Crime Pays
SOUNDS LIKE: What a Cam album's 'posed to sound like: ignorant
FUN FACT: The Dipset reunion album has a new release date: Nevuary 4th.
WHY COMPLEX IS CO-SIGNING IT: 'Cause it's Killa, man! And man, did we miss Killa. Crime Pays sounds like Cam's been in straight hibernation mode since 2006's Killa Season, and that's a good thing because we're not trying to hear Cam on Auto-Tune or Cam collaborating with The Dream or Cam rapping about skinny jeans. This is just regular, run-of-the-mill Cam—straight unfiltered ignorance with more stupefyingly offensive quotables than ever. He's the rap Larry David, for real! Even when the beats get nervous (Skitzo's cool but he ain't really 13-tracks(!) cool), every song is worth listening to just for that "Your moms buys hero(i)n/With no hands, I'm smackin' her" moment. Everything we love about Cam is repped here, from silly ("Silky (No Homo)") to awesome ("Cookin' Up") to gangsta ("Get It In Ohio) to the silly, awesome and gangsta ("Cookies N Apple Juice"). Seriously, we haven't been this excited about an NYC rap album since...since...since...

Killa did it. Love the album. favorites: Get it in ohio, whoo hoo, spend the night, cooking up. Skits weren't as funny as ones in the past, but thats not the point of the album. Lets talk about how krazy this kid Arabmuzik is...His beats are so rich and filled with instruments, its amazing. dipset. Jones

Even though it sounds like "Get 'Em Girls", "Who" is easily my favorite track on this album. After that, "Get It In Ohio" and then a tie between "Chalupa" and "Spend The Night". Least favorite track is "Silky". That was a lazy throwaway joint right there
