  Thug Mentality - Cam'ron Leaves Def Jam/ The Roc   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
“Cam called me up for [Hot 97’s] "Celebrity Drama" and told me that he had met up with LA Reid, and man to man, they worked out an agreement for his release from Def Jam,” Info revealed to AllHipHop.com.
Cam recently released Purple Haze, his fourth solo album, on Dec. 7 and also a group effort with the Diplomats on Koch.
Cam made a similar flight away from Epic Record, who delivered his Confessions Of Fire and S.D.E. [Sex, Drugs and Entertainment] after he was unhappy with his sales at the time of his exit.

 village voice > music > Cam'ron's Purple Haze by Jon Caramanica
Intricacy and economy rarely cohabitate in a rapper's flow, but Cam is a model of both, packing an obscene number of rhyming syllables into each line, and sustaining the effect for lengthy runs.
But Cam's no more a disease than he is a symptom.
Just as the rest of the album bombastically evokes the scope of Cam's charm, talent, and ego, their monochromatic affect suggests the intractability of his surroundings.

 Cam'ron: Purple Haze: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Cam's departure from Roc-A-Fella is still in doubt.
Cam has the warped eloquence of an MF Doom even when he's bragging about violence ("Observe, cock, and spray/ We hit you from a block away/ Drinking saki on a Suzuki in Osaka Bay") or conspicuous consumption ("I park in the towaway zone, chrome/ I don't care; that car a throwaway, homes").
But Cam isn't heartless; a few of the songs have an air of weary lamentation, like Tony Soprano driving home after killing his cousin, wondering how it came to this: "I give you a earful, it's tearful/ Told my mother I hustle, and she said, 'Be careful'.

It was Mase who connected Cam'ron to the late Notorious B.I.G. "At the time I met Biggie, he was working on Life After Death, so he had all sorts of fly tracks around his apartment," Cam remembers.
On the spot, I was the first artist signed to their new label, Untertainment." Cam'ron introduced himself to the listening audience with his songwriting for some of hip-hop's hottest names, including the platinum single "Crush On You" by Li'l Kim.
Cam later revealed his own rhyme skills on two soundtrack cuts: "Casanova," a collaboration with Lil Cease, from How To Be A Player; and the savage single "3-5-7" b/w "Pull It" (featuring DMX), as heard on the Woo soundtrack album.

A solo emcee out of Harlem, Cam'Ron got his start as Killa Cam, rhyming alongside Murder Mase (pre-Bad Boy Ma$e) and the late great D.I.T.C. legend Big L in a crew called Children Of The Corn.
Cam was signed by Lance "Un" Rivera (the guy Jay-Z allegedly stabbed); he released Confessions Of Fire in '98.
That summer saw Cam release his most popular album yet, Come Home With Me, featuring the hit singles "Oh Boy," "Hey Ma," and "Welcome To New York City." Two years later, after appearing on albums from his Diplomats crew, Cam returned with his third solo offering, Purple Haze.

 BallerStatus.net Reviews - Cam'ron: Purple Haze
The one constant throughout this wild LP ride is his traditional dose of clever, witty and overall unique wordplay, which only Killa can bring to the table.
Cam utilizes his repetitive rhyme style, in which he uniquely rhymes the same word in consecutive lines through many points in the album.
In consecutive lines on any track, Cam can go from talking about the streets of Harlem, drug dealing, to his pink and purple-emblazoned style to lewd acts with women.

 New York Daily News - Entertainment - Jim Farber: Cam'Ron & Co. build on rap-port   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
In the cut "Aayoo-ight," Cam and Santana trade engaging nonsense verse over a beat that shimmies.
But Cam is clearly "Purple Haze's" main man. In "Get Down," the charismatic rapper spins stories of his rough upbringing that weave the literal with the metaphorical.
It would be nice if Cam didn't fall for the cliche of using speeded-up soul samples - like the one from Smokey Robinson in "Ghetto Soap Opera." But that's a quibble.

It seems they are trying to balance Killa Cam and the commercial side of things as well and at times this does not work.
I admit I liked Cam up until shortly after this release, now I think he is possibly the worst rapper ever (close with Chingy & St. Lunatics).
Cam on the Roc definately spells hell for the industry.

 City Pages - Cam'Ron: <i>Purple Haze</i>
After a stint alongside Mase in the Children of the Corn, Cam broke out with two gold albums and the chirpy "Oh Boy" (which is now the name of his line of cologne.) He's a ghetto author and CEO of his own company, as he once explained on The O'Reilly Factor.
On Haze, Cam still talks about the supply side of the economy--pimping, slinging, blinging, killing--but he delivers his lines with a steady Dada flow that relishes the ludicrous sound of his own loquaciousness.
On "More Reasons," Cam shuffles slowly through a show-tune strut lifted from Earth Wind and Fire, nonchalantly filling the measures.

Other notable tracks include the party anthem "Oh Boy," a sequel to the drug-trafficking story in the song "Losing Weight Part 2," that Cam began on his last album.
Also memorable is the amusing "Stop Calling," a song that finds Cam being harassed over the phone by the boyfriend of one of his mistresses.
Unfortunately, the remainder of the LP suffers from rushed production and the overall lack of vision that is becoming a hallmark of Roc-A-Fella releases.

 HipHopFoundry - We Can't Be Stopped! - Cam'ron Sues R. Kelly Over 'Snake' Songwriting Credit
In 2003, the two worked together on the "Snake" remix — with Cam writing part of the introduction and the entire third verse, according to his suit.
But when Kelly's label released the video collection "R. Kelly: The R. in RandB," Cam's songwriting contribution wasn't noted in the copyright, with the rapper only listed in the liner notes as a featured performer.
Though Cam previously told MTV News that he had beef with Kelly because he'd expected a trade for his work on the "Snake" remix — with Kelly returning the favor with a beat and a hook on his Purple Haze album — Cam'ron's rep says that despite the lawsuit, the ill feelings have simmered down.

Carey's attempt at a mellower work than her previous efforts raised eyebrows with critics; Ron Wynn said Carey "blended into the background and let the tracks guide her, instead of pushing and exploding through them", and another reviewer observed that Carey's latest sounds "seems like she was less invested in the music"
