Cam'ron: Killa Season : Music Reviews : Rolling Stone

Album Reviews

As the top talent of Harlem's vaunted Diplomats crew and purveyor of 2004's strangely magical Purple Haze, Cam'ron Giles rightly figures he's New York rap royalty. On Killa Season's "You Gotta Love It" (heard on mix CDs last fall), he aims at knocking off Jay-Z with some absurd insults (Jigga wears open-toe sandals!). The big problem is that most of the album feels a little stale, from its horn fanfares fit for a bad boxing movie to its played-out, sped-up soul samples. The highlights are the unsparingly honest "I.B.S.," which finds Cam detailing his intestinal disorder over a jagged piano loop, and "Leave You Alone," where he offers the weirdly sonorous lines "You thought I quit like Tomjanovich/Conglomerate treat you like Ramadan/Honor it." Killa Season proves Cam'ron can still bring heady verbiage and heat, but it's doubtful Jay-Z is losing much sleep.
