About the Artist
This kid from Houston, Texas has some nerve. That's what came to mind as you watched an MTV special in early 2005 showcasing H-Town's commercial and artistic re-emergence on the rap scene. Following his brazen freestyle, the focused and much-heralded MC known as Chamillionaire faced a national audience and launched a swagger-filled proclamation on camera: "I'm the truth from Texas..." While such boasting may seem par-for-the-course in the prideful 25-year-plus history of hip-hop, the latter ambitious statement aptly describes Chamillionaire. It's the reason why he earned the lofty alias "The Mixtape Messiah," a title Cham was crowned after independently selling over 100,000 copies of the Get Ya Mind Correct album, and by selling thousands of his numerous mix tapes. It's why the former member of Houston's legendary mix-tape power Swisha House garnered coverage in such major hip-hop publications as Source and XXL without the backing of a major deal. When the Houston! lyricist set off a major label bidding war to distribute his Chamillitary Records, it became abundantly clear throughout the 'hood and the music industry – Chamillionaire is indeed the truth.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is a real review, April 20, 2006

By	P. Hicks "Tru Phan" (San Diego) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Artistically Chamillionaire is on top of the game as always, However the overall production of Man On Fire was bad. First there was a 2 second delay between tracks and the volume was low. It felt like I was listening to a badly burnt CD. Tippin down was good in that respect though. So it was good but not great.
Thats how you give a reveiw to all you morons who try to sound cool. Let people know what they are really buying. THE WHOLE PACKAGE.

5.0 out of 5 stars Man On Fire, April 9, 2006

By	J. Sousa (Fall River, MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

"Man On Fire" is one of the hottest mixtapes to ever hit the streets. Chamillionaire rips other rappers beats like he bought them, he is truly amazing. Any one who is a fan of the Mixtape Messiah aka King Koopa aka Killa Cham aka The Truth and now the Man on Fire needs to cop this mixtape period.

5.0 out of 5 stars Koopa Is On Fire!, January 31, 2006

By	Ian M. Tlasek "IanMT414" (Weymouth, MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Cham tore it up on both cd's. I personally like Man On Fire better, but Tippin Down is also fire.Realest N***a is one of my favorite songs off of Man On Fire. Rasaq and 50/50 both spit so hard in Steady Doin' It. Both of them have gotten 10 times better than they were on the original Chamillitary Cd. This is a must own Cd for any Koopa/Chamillitary fan. Chamillitary Mane!
