I gave this album three chances to grow on me since I perchased it on the release date. But every time I listen to it, I can't help but think that this album was rushed. I've perchased every Cam'ron album, and to me S.D.E is still the best by far. Im not writing this review in intent to hurt Cam's name, but only to let the longtime Cam fans know whats the dilli. First off Cam still have his incredible writing skills, but he dosent seem to be half as gritty as "Confessions of Fire" or S.D.E. We all know artist have to grow, but this drastic of a change over 2 years exp: "Let me know" to "Oh Boy" is shocking. Every song is sampled, he even sampled Tupacs(R.I.P)"Ambitionz of A Ridah". The ROC did a very swell job of recruiting Killah Cam but somebody needs to step up and give him the beats to match his writing. I know the ROC has some tight ...beats bucause Memph and Beanie was rockin' em on thier last efforts. Fa sho the second go round Cam is going to come off as a fire spittin' dragon.

3.0 out of 5 stars 3.5... Solid Cam, May 16, 2002

Cam'Ron brings his recognizable delivery with his smooth voice and hood rhymes. He drops nice wordplay and is consistent with an above average yet unexceptional flow. 3.5 stars cuz his content gets a bit repetitive so if you're looking for deep lyrics, this will probly turn up shallow for your tastes.

Standout Tracks:
"Losing Weight pt.2" (heavy hitting beat, street tales),
"Oh Boy" (y'all know about this one- bouncin beat and Cam's smooth flow),
"Welcome to New York City" (hot beat, Jay and Cam trade flows),
"I Just Wanna" (bangin beat- title is what they're talkin about, what they want),
"Dead Or Alive" (Mad catchy beat and chorus)...

Mentionables:
"Intro" (bangin beat but talking half the time then spits),
"Live My Life/Leave Me Alone" (Cam displays some of his best flow on the album over Pac's beat),
"Daydreaming" (chill beat- kick back song),
"Come Home With Me" (Some real lyrics about where Juelz and Cam come from),

"On Fire Tonight" is one of the two songs that could qualify as message songs,
"Stop Calling" (probly the rawest beat on the LP, kinda funny story about a guy in love with a [street girl)
"Tomorrow" Tomorrow's not promised... Cam leaves a message at the end to think about.

Overall, the production carries most of the burden and sometimes Cam comes through with the lyrics. Like on "The ROC" Cam's verse at the end is quality but then tracks like "Boy Boy" have a sick beat but the lyrics is far less than outstanding.

3.0 out of 5 stars Come Home with Me by Cam'Ron, June 1, 2002

After nearly 2 years away from the game, Harlem rapper Cam'Ron returns with his best offering to date. The Roc-A-Fella records backed artist serves up a hot blend of pop influenced commercial rap but at the same times keeps it grimey as ever on straight street songs, and the result, it surprisingly pays off. Not many rappers can mix the two styles together on one album and pull it off, but Cam'Ron does it with the greatest of ease, as does the rest of his Roc-A-Fella comrads.

After hearing the hypnotic first single "Oh Boy" with best friend and collaborator Julez Santana, you know that you are in for a collection of straight hits that are oozing hip hop from the pores. The album delievers with street hits ("Losing Weight Part 2" & "Live My Life") and summer's hottest pop rap anthems ("Come Home with Me" & "Hey Ma" - the latter of the two being one of the albums best songs). The album also includes this year's hottest song so far, "Welcome to New York", Cam'Ron, Jay-Z's and Julez Santana's post 9/11 anthem, and "Boy Boy" a catchy upbeat track.

Though the album delivers these bangers, it doesn't consistenly stay strong. It slips up on "The Roc" featuring Memphis Bleek & Beanie Sigel, a track where none of them live up to their potential. The sappy rap ballad "Day Dreaming" could have been done with out, and the same can be said for "Dead or Alive" & "On Fire Tonight". Also, the countless phone interludes placed on, before and after the songs begin are 110% pointless and irritating.

As far as the production, lyrics and most of the songs, this record is pretty solid. It easily out does his disappointing S.D.E, and his debut album Confessions of Fire. For those who are just getting to know Cam'Ron, make sure you scoop Harlem's Greatest, a collection of his bigger hits that was released to set hype for this L.P. With the Roc behind him Cam'Ron can be unstoppable, and by the growth shown on this record, he knows it and will do anything to achieve it. Keep your eye on him.
