Cam'ron may never match his wacked-out 2004 masterpiece, Purple Haze. His feuds with Jay-Z, 50 Cent and former Dipset comrades Juelz Santana and Jim Jones have failed to make him a star. But on his sixth album, the Harlem MC remains one of hip-hop's most compelling eccentrics, enlivening clichéd gangsta subject matter and pro forma beats with his deceptively virtuosic flow, and with taunts that work by wiggy word association ("I got the answer/They clueless/Ashanti/Foolish"). Tucked in amid the daffy fun is the first great song of the economic downturn, "I Hate My Job," in which Cam'ron channels the downsized Dilberts of the world.
