Poll Question: Do You Care That Cam’ron Is Back?

This poll question isn’t a diss at Killa in any way. It’s just today the thought crossed my mind like, “Oh yeah, Cam IS back.” You remember when most of the Hip-Hop nation was asking the question “Where’s Cam?”. Now he’s returned with his first album in three years, Crime Pays, and nothing feels different. It didn’t elevate his status. Now one is saying the words “classic” or even that Crime Pays is the best album of 2009 (Okay, maybe Cam’ron/DipSet stans). And while sales should never really equal the success of the actual music, now there are reports coming out that Crime Pays will move around 40-45k units (How many videos has Cam put out now?). Now, I’m not saying Cam’ron’s career is done; not by a long shot. Those numbers aren’t bad but it’s almost the same as Jim Jones’ last album (Pary For Reign). Maybe Eminem’s return overshadowed Crime Pays. Maybe people want the Diplomats back together. But at the end of the day: Do you really care that Cam’ron is back? You know the drill. Vote. Oh, and if you haven’t checked out King Jerm’s Crime Pays review, do that too.

Do you really care that Cam’ron is back?

Young Barry White. The geek out of the bunch. He is also Jay-Z’s biggest fan. He looks like your cousin from the burbs. He is “Pro Black” (not anti-white, just “Pro Black”). Probably the wittiest out of the bunch. It is said that he got fired from the same job three times.

    I care that he’s back, but I dont think anyone should expect it to be a big deal. Cam’ron has never sold tons of records and this will especially be true in these dark times in the music industry.

    And for what it’s worth, I don’t even think Eminem returning to the hip hop game caused that much of a “big deal” compared to 5-6 years ago. Maybe something is slipping my mind, but the last time there was a true event in hip hop was the Kanye vs. 50 battle.

    I must admit that at first I was hype to hear Camron return. Then I thought about it. Camron is not the same as he was years ago. Crime Pays sucks too

    Cam’ron Expect To Sell Over 45K In First Week
    May 15th, 2009 | Author: Slava Kuperstein

    Cam’ron’s highly anticipated debut Crime Pays is projected to sell between 40-45,000 in its first week, according to HitsDailyDouble.com.

    The website also predicts that the album will debut at no. 1 on the Billboard 200 next week. If those figures are correct, it would be the lowest-selling no.1 album of all time.

    However, initial reports may not be correct – according to XXLMag.com, representatives at Cam’ron’s label, Asylum, said they believe Killa Cam’s latest outing is going to make a much bigger splash on the charts.

    Cam’s top Hip Hop competition for the week is labelmate Paul Wall, whose album Fast Life is expected to log in about 15-20,000 units.

    Damn Niggas. What is up with the hate. But on a serious note…not really interested in Killa Cam. Never have been UNLESS it had been with the rest of the Diplomats. But course that ain’t happening..so I’ll pass
