2.0 out of 5 stars This album deserves 2 1/2 stars to be exact., May 22, 2002

By	Glen Russell "Mr. Sound" (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

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 Come Home with Me by Cam'Ron, June 2, 2002

By	Anthony Humphrey (Manhattan) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Roc-A-Fella debut, May 14, 2002

By	D. Johnson "oasisgnr" (Rockford, IL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Cam'ron is finally at home now on Roc-a-Fella records. This entire album is bangin. It features guest spots from Jay, Beans, Memphis, and the Diplomats. Stand out tracks are "Oh Boy", "New York", "Dead or Alive", and "Hey Ma". The only negative thing I can say is the skits kind of disrupt the flow of the album. Aside from that this is a fantastic album and I think Cam'ron will finally develop into the star that he should've been three years ago by now. Definitely worth your money......
