Cam'Ron-Public Enemy #1 Review


Hello again now to make my posistion know I am a fan of Dipset when they come hard that hasn't happened in two years and it took Cam'Ron three years to get out of whatever slump he had. So I will review Cam's mixtape as it is his best recording ince Purple Haze.
Disc One
1.Intro
Dipset piano loop as Cam talks shit and then he tells Funkmaster Flex he's sorry. Cam talks about his cars and says he wants a car show at his house, then goes back to talking shit. Jim Jones is Cams Partner and friend and wishes him nothing but the best of luck. Cam also had a probation violation. Cam has updated us on everthing he has done, talks shit about Jay and Curtis, The whole ordeal took 6 and a half minutes. Funny but long.

2.Why They
This is the way to start an album Cam is at his best right here, Cam'Ron is back to being Cam'Ron that we know and love clever and witty be just saying words over agian and givnig it own style.

3.Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
This fuckin G.O.D. tag is gettin old fats. The song is good it's Killa Cam ultra gutta, the good type. Beats good too.

4.Calm Down
Cam talking about staying one step ahead of the cops & Flirting with sleezy girls and it works.

5.Cant Hurt My Style
Great fucking singing hook beat is fire and Cam brings his triple a game best track so far.

6.Just Us
Best beat of the whole mixtape, the Journy sample is amazing. One of the two trueset songs on the album as Cam talks about how he can't get along with the women he loves and how much he truly loves her, in his own way.

7.The Cycles Sick
Cam talking about running the game and his haterd for snitches and he likes his fans but not fanatics, the beat is sick.

8.I'm a Hustler Barry
Cam talking about the struggles of hustling and how good help is hard to find, the beat in very good has a 70's soul vibe to it.

9.Hot Mess
Cam talking tuff but it works plus he makrs a Public Enemy reference and shouts out Prof. Griff how can you not like that.

10.Roaches In the Chicken
Crank call skit that is really funny, About roaches in chicken.

11.Kill My Dog ft. Tom Gist
Looks like Tom Gist is a new member as Dipset but if you can keep up with all the members then you deserve a medal as the lose and gain new members everyday. Cam is most likley the realest on this track talking abot Bloodshed's death and how much he loves him and how much he still misses him. Gist talks about Stack Bunddles and tells people to give up the jewelry (Stack was muredered in a robbery because he would not give up his money). best line of the whole mixtape just based on how much Cam really means it His kids won't know him/Who he was I'm gon show em

12.Yada Yada Yad ft. A-Mafia
First dipset shout out of the album as A-Mafia ablibs before his verse and later cailms he is better then Diddy. Mafia comes tight which seems like a chore for he to do know. Cam like he has done for the whole Mixtape does not dissapoint. An eye for an eye/A Coup fpr a Coup is a whicked line.

13.Ain't Like Us ft. A-Mafia
A-Mafia's verse is not as good as his last one one track agian but it works tracks not bad but it's to Killa Season for me. Not as bad as Killa Season but it has that vibe about it even though it's better then everything on Killa Season.

14.Kiatey ft. Freekey Zeeky & J.R. Writer
Cam brings the noise as he as done through out the tape. Writer can't have a bad mixtape verse as that seems to be DipSets motto Mixtapes are more important then albums. Zeeky only had one good verse every that was four years ago on Real Niggas, who every convinced Freeky he could rap needs to be condeemed to hell.

15.Swagga Talk ft. 40 Ca. & Hell Rell
Dipsets slang lexicon in song format. Not like there's anything wrong with that I that it was clever to let people know what the hell you are saying which can help people understand Dipset a little beeter.

16.Shitty Skit
This skit is not shitty it's a shit joke which is very funny and I am not a fan of toliet humor but when it's done right it's funny and this was done right. Cam does not what this women with a shitty ass in his bed and an agreement ensues damn Cam why can't you get along with the ladies.

17.Child of the Ghetto
Cam exposes the sruggles of growing up in the ghetto and how it seems slanging is your only option.

18.Let Me Know
Cam talks about getting an affiar and how it doesn't work even though it has a popy r&b ovetone it is a good song as Cam talks about how he felt guilty about cheating

19.Dead The Funeral
I think this song is out of place right after let me know as let me know is downtwmpo and this one is gully gully gully.

20.Bad Day ft. Tom Gist
Beat jacked Ice Cube, You know they beat. You would think this track would be lame and cliche but this song is more like a sequal of Cube's song. As Cube talked about the one day nothing happened in the hood. Cam and Gist talk about he 364 days when shit does happen in the hood and how much in effects you mind.

21.Think Out Loud - Tom Gist
Gist looks like he is Cam's need weed carrier as he gets his own track to end disc one.

Disc Two
1.Intro
In this intro Cam discusses the rmors floating around the internet concering his 6 month hiatus. There was a rumor that he died in a fire.

2.Bum Bum ft. Penz
Disc two inroducues us to a nother new member of Dipset Penz why does Dipset members have names like this? the song is good but Penz is no Tom Gist.

3.What You Know ft. Penz
Cam is back to he's old self and this song is exhibit A. Great fucking track

4.Penz & Gist - Tom Gist & Penz
Couldn't they think of a better tile but good Phil Collins sample though this is Penzes best showing and Tom Gist is a good rapper as that was not known this far into the mixtape.

5.Fit For The Grind 2 ft. Penz
Cam Sampled Goerge w. and tooks shots at him so does Penz fuck Penz can rap and this is best showing fuck the last track. Cam has a ton of police troubles as he refernces them in almost every song on this tape. Penz ha sbeen on the last four tracks fuck who is Cams weed carrier Gist or Penz?

6.Glitter ft. Penz
Cam is talking about glitter and I love it. Penz is slowly growing on me.

7.Troublemakers ft. 40 Cal. & Penz
Killa Cam and $0 cal bring the heat and so does Penz. Yes I fly/Don't mean football? when the jets arrive is the best line of Disc two and there is a Wire refernce. Good track.

8.Freestyle - Penz
Acapella freestyle about Penz tough childhood and it is good as it is real and not one of those cookie cutter born poor rap songs everyone makes know a days.

9.Penz Sad - Penz
Penz must be Cams cousin or brother or something as he has been on 8 tracks in a row and the last two tracks he has been on by himself and goddamit is he good he has grown on me him and Gist will most likly be on the next DukeDaGod Presents album.

10.Killa Penz ft. Penz
Penz gets rougher and rougher each track boy is fire, Cam as he does on the whole tape has brought the heat on each outing if Cam was like this on everything he had his name on he could be on Jay-z/Wu-tang level.

11.Curious ft. Penz
Cam likes to rap about ladies he should make an album of just love songs and I'll damn damned if it is not recieved as the second coming of Jesus

12.Now Whut ft. Penz
Great beat very lowkey gangsta. Lryics are good too.

13.Are We Cuttin ft. Hell Rell ft. Freeky Zeeky
I like Rell's deep voice and boy is he a good rapper Cam is a good rapper too when he wants to be, but freeky is not a rapper in the least bit he is better of just doing one or two verses on DukeDaGod Present's albums and a verse on Dipset members solo outings then trying to push a solo career as he is not good. It should also be noted that besides the intro this is the first track on disc two Penz does not a pear on and he doesn't return.

14.Cha Ching ft. Hell Rell
Cam and Rell should do more songs together as this track is the fucking king of duets.

15.No Delaying
Took cam 15 tracks on Disc two to have a solo track but it's worth the wait. As this is a good track.

16.Get Rich
Cam talks about getting rich in the ghetto and how stress full it can be and how you dreams are shatterd on the streets

17.Weekend
Cam raps about back in the day and girls agianfucking mixtape

Cam come hard and never got soft. Really good Mixtape, Man does Cam get around alot and gets in trouble with the cops alot too. The only problem is like all Dipset Mixtapes is they care more about mixtapes then they do about Album. And the latter is what most people hear. All and all not a bad track on the tape. 5 out of 5.
