First of all, for the amatures out there, Rap is hard to listen to. If your a rap skeptic, this is not the first cd I would give to you to listen (althought I played a couple tracks for my 16 year old sister and she got it). Start with someone real articulate with their words and their song formulas like Nas, 2pac or Guru/Gangstarr.

Cam'Ron on the other hand makes up his own flow, his own language and his own style. No one else sounds like Cam, (for sure you can hear his influences in his music, ever heard the irractic and genius syle of Ghostface?) Cam'Ron is one of the most hillarious rappers to ever make an album. You need to listen to this album and realize the humor that Cam'Ron puts into it. He is an amazingly talented lyricist, nearly everything he says could mean two or three different things, and don't think that anything in his music is there by accident. If you hated this cd maybe you're not quite ready for it. If you think this CD was 5 stars and can teach you lessons about how to live life, well, then I hope you lock your guns and don't have children. If you're a fan of rap music and take the lyrics for what they are, then you should be able to see the hillarity of what Cam has to say.

And if you dont like this post well then, Go get your wet wipes.

If you liked Purple Haze, then you won't feel burned if you buy Killa Season. Nice up-tempo beats throughout the album. Killa has the same incomplete sentence, witty, make you laugh style that he's been using for the last 2 to 3 years.

If you like Killa, its another album to add to the collection. If you liked Purple Haze, its not a drop off at all.

If you didnt like P.Haze, this is pretty much the same so leave it on the shelf.

I have bought all of camron's cds and this is the worst by far. Lil' Wayne did him a favor by being on his only hot track "suck it or not". Jay-Z probably listened to this cd laughed, then pissed on it!!!

PS. What grown man walks around wearing purple anyways?

I've listened to this cd about 4 or 5 times and I must say it is trash! What a waste of $10. If youre a Cam'ron fan (which after this cd i cannot say I am) you've waited 2 years for nothing. You are better off picking up purple haze and bumping that for a couple days. The beats are trash and the lyrics are even more trash. He's got nothing left to rap about so he takes shots at Jay hoping that would sell records. PICK UP A JAY-Z ALBUM INSTEAD OF THIS...YOU'LL THANK ME LATER!!

I'm gonna be very honest with y'all on here. I wasn't impressed about this Killa Season album. I only liked "He Tried To Play Me" and "Get Em Daddy (Remix)". I couldn't believe that I wasted almost $20 on it!!! I was really pissed when I listened to this album. Now I know next time before I get another album, especially a Cam'Ron album, that I will listen to the samples on Amazon or CD Universe first. It's not that Cam'Ron is a bad lyricist, in which I don't think he is that bad. But I really think that this whole album for the most part needs a makeover or something. The production and most of the lyrics are just... Trash! Cam step yo game up man!!! I give this album a 1.5 of 5 stars.

This cd was even better than I expected. For the most part the lyrics are good and the beats are sick. Some of the tracks need to be listened to a few times to like them, other than that the whole cd is hott.

Top Tracks:

He Tried To Play Me
We Make Change
Suck It Or Not
Get Em Daddy
Gotta Love It

When Purple Haze came out, I was one of the first people to come to Cam'ron's defense on the quality of the album. A lot of people were hating on Cam, but I found Purple Haze to be one of the best commercial hip-hop albums in the late 2004/early 2005 season. The production was dope, and Cam'ron's flow was more on point than it'd ever been. Purple Haze made a genuine Cam'ron fan out of me; unfortunately, Killa Season has not only erased the good memories that I had bumping Purple Haze, but has also left a sour impression of Killa Cam in my mind.

When Killa Season came out, it was highly anticipated for myself. I was expecting Cam to follow the Purple Haze formula, and take it to another level. I was expecting a cast full of big-budget producers, and hot guest appearances from some of the industry's best. At the very least, I was expecting Cam to be on his A-Game, especially since he was launching a verbal war against the Jigga man. Not one of those wishes came true on Killa Season; in fact, every single one of those things I'd hope for were not only absent from this album, but they were substituted with some of the most dissapointing hip-hop I've ever had the displeasure to listen to.

The only producer you'll recognize in the liner notes of Killa Season is the almighty Alchemist; however, even geniuses can make mistakes, and that's no more apparent than his production work on Wet Wipes. The production is poor, and Cam'ron's flow and lyrics are both so inane that they'll have you thumping your head before the track ever finished; against a desk, or a wall, that is. What should've been a dope collaboration between one of the underground's best producers and one of the mainstream's most 'unique' emcees turns out to be one of the worst hip-hop tracks in recent memory.

Guests? DipSet. Not the better half of DipSet either - you get third-stringer tiers Hell Rell and 40 Cal on a handful of tracks while Jim Jones and Juelz Santana only make a couple guest appearances, suspiciously absent. The only non-DipSet guest is their regular affiliate, Lil Wayne, who drops undoubtedly the best verse on the album on the otherwise mundane Touch It Or Not.

Cam'ron himself? He's simply embarrassing on this release. He sings(yes, SINGS) some of the most asinine lyrics I've ever heard on He Tried To Play Me, while detailing his real life struggle with Irritable Bowel Syndrome(dear Lord) on the track appropriately named IBS. Both of these tracks will have you in hysterics throughout; not because Cam's delivering hilarious punchlines, but because they're, for lack of a better term, simply stupid. He tries to diss Jay-Z on You Gotta Love It, but ends up releasing a diss track that is less effective than even Ja Rule's Clap Back(and most certainly of lower-quality). His simple rhyme schemes can be forgiven when he's got hot beats, but his definiciencies as an emcee have never been more transparent than they are on Killa Season.

Up until the release of Killa Season, I had always defended Cam'ron against people who were claiming he was a wack emcee. He was never phenomenal in my mind, but the potential was always there; on Killa Season, everything is suddenly flushed down the toilet(no pun intended). Losing his spot as DipSet's man for humor to Jim Jones, his spot as the heir to any sort of throne to Juelz, and his spot as a 'real emcee' to JR Writer, Cam'ron has become nothing more than a washed-up emcee who was never great to begin with. No matter how much I wanted to like Killa Season, a year later, it's still as wack as it was the first time I heard it. Unless he can come back with the hottest album of his career next go around, Cam's career is over.

Mark 2006 as the year that Cam committed career suicide. He should have went at 50, Mase and G-Unit, since they are the crew that's on top right now and everyone loves to hate on. Instead, he chose Jay, who's been retired for 3 years and is a living legend. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Before all the attacks on Jay, he was on pace to be next in line to the throne. Now, he's on pace to not being mentioned at all. I will give Cam and Jim Jones credit for being hilarious, but it looks like Jay-Z will get the last laugh.

This is not his best work and probably his weakest effort to date. I just don't feel his hunger like his past albums and now he seems like he is lazy because he has got more money. Anyways only a few songs I like on here "Touch It Or Not",War and Love My Life and the rest are average or just suck. I only recommend this if you are a fan of Cam'ron otherwise buy something else.
