Kam Returns On a Bankrupt Label

"Kam returned on Kamnesia which was a bankrupt label. Still managing to place his heart into the music. Many have not realized that Kam was banned by Nightclub owners, radio stations and some politicians. Since then he has regrouped and is expected to release a CD called the SELF. This CD has music industry insiders buzzing, claiming it to be the best since Tupac's All Eyes On Me. And from what I hear even more radio stations may ban his CD.He has a Website called: HereAfter-Records.com if you want to check out his upcoming movies and information. Kam promises to come back, from an article that I read on neva-again.cjb.net promises to take revenge against the Rap Game. His flaming lyrics will not be compromised - since he is on his OWN record label.Check it out Kam fans and suppoters!"

Decent, could be better

"I've been a fan of Kam since he dropped Every Single Weekend on the Boyz in the Hood soundtrack. He then dropped 2 tight, Neva Again, and Made in America albums and dropped some cameo appearances with DJ Quik affiliates, Saafir, the Eastsiders, Coolio, LV, the vicious Ice Cube diss Whoop Whoop and his absolutely brilliant verse on the Bulworth soundtrack. I Always liked the fact that he always took a pro-Black stance that you don't see too much of nowadays in hip hop.Unfortunately, my enthusiam was tempered by the fact that this album has several peaks and valleys. The album gets off to a good start with the title track, Kamnesia. He switches up his flow a little bit with a stop and go type style. Other standout tracks are Benefits, which has a RZA style beat, the posse cut They Like That featuring Jayo Felony, Yukmouth, Spider and Gangsta Dresta, War Dance, and Godbrother. Other tracks on the album have dope lyrics but either corny production and even cornier hooks. Bang Bang is lyrically dope but it is a straight jack on the reggae namesake classic track. What I look like is dope until you get to a god-awful hook. He also makes a failed attempt to capitalize on the southern bounce trend.Still, in spite of these misteps, you do hear some of the Kam you've heard for the last 10 years, lambasting the government, white oppressors and also sellout rappers. It's not as good as his previous albums but still worth picking up."

Disapponting

"I've been hearing Kam rap since the mid 90's and I was impressed so when I heard about this album coming out I had to get it. I did and I was not impressed at all. The production isn't that good (Wino does 4 songs, Jazze Pha does 3, and 5 people I never heard of each do 1 song) and he doesn't rap about his usual stuff. "Wardance" is the best track on here and a few others are alright ("Godbrotha" & "They Like Dat" w/ Jayo Felony, Dresta, & 2 other cats) but other than that it mainly collects dust for me. I have respect for him and what he's done but he needs something better than this. I would not recommend this album but his ones from '93 & '95 especially, are much better.
