3.0 out of 5 stars Decent, could be better, March 29, 2001

By 

smw (Southern Cali) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kamnesia (Audio CD)

I've been a fan of Kam since he dropped Every Single Weekend on the Boyz in the Hood soundtrack. He then dropped 2 tight, Neva Again, and Made in America albums and dropped some cameo appearances with DJ Quik affiliates, Saafir, the Eastsiders, Coolio, LV, the vicious Ice Cube diss Whoop Whoop and his absolutely brilliant verse on the Bulworth soundtrack. I Always liked the fact that he always took a pro-Black stance that you don't see too much of nowadays in hip hop.

Unfortunately, my enthusiam was tempered by the fact that this album has several peaks and valleys. The album gets off to a good start with the title track, Kamnesia. He switches up his flow a little bit with a stop and go type style. Other standout tracks are Benefits, which has a RZA style beat, the posse cut They Like That featuring Jayo Felony, Yukmouth, Spider and Gangsta Dresta, War Dance, and Godbrother. Other tracks on the album have dope lyrics but either corny production and even cornier hooks. Bang Bang is lyrically dope but it is a straight jack on the reggae namesake classic track. What I look like is dope until you get to a god-awful hook. He also makes a failed attempt to capitalize on the southern bounce trend.

Still, in spite of these misteps, you do hear some of the Kam you've heard for the last 10 years, lambasting the government, white oppressors and also sellout rappers. It's not as good as his previous albums but still worth picking up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Kam Returns On a Bankrupt Label, June 24, 2002

By 

Shemia Miller "Author" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kamnesia (Audio CD)

Kam returned on Kamnesia which was a bankrupt label. Still managing to place his heart into the music. Many have not realized that Kam was banned by Nightclub owners, radio stations and some politicians. Since then he has regrouped and is expected to release a CD called the SELF. This CD has music industry insiders buzzing, claiming it to be the best since Tupac's All Eyes On Me. And from what I hear even more radio stations may ban his CD.

He has a Website called: HereAfter-Records.com if you want to check out his upcoming movies and information. Kam promises to come back, from an article that I read on neva-again.cjb.net promises to take revenge against the Rap Game. His flaming lyrics will not be compromised - since he is on his OWN record label.

Check it out Kam fans and suppoters!

4.0 out of 5 stars Conscious Lyrics with Kam, September 2, 2001

By 

"bitter_666" (Nijmegen, Gelderland Netherlands) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Kamnesia (Audio CD)

It is a good thing that Kam returns with an album after six years. Kam is about consciousness, lyrical content. Kamnesia is a good effort, not classic though.
The title track is one of the most solid songs, where Kam makes sure the new generation does not forget about his accomplishments. Another dope track is "Have a Fit", which has that slow, West coast bounce. Also look out for "Godbrotha", which depicts Kam's concern for the quality of rap music. The most original song has to be "Wardance" because of the African sung chorus and gloomy, threatening lyrics.
I have always liked Kam's cool and monotonous delivery. Even more, I have appreciated his strong opinions and messages in music. Sometimes he reminds me of Paris. Kamnesia proves that he has not lost his good sides. Therefore, I can live with a less convincing posse cut, like "They Like dat" on this album.
Kamnesia proves Kam's maturity. Obviously, he has been through a lot. In life and music wise. But it never gets too gangster or incredible. This album is worth buying. Expect originality, West coast funk, hard hitting lines and credibility.
