Cam'Ron In XXL Magazine (June 2005)

[Matrix Heart]

 

XXL No.70 / June 2005
features

all or nothing
We gave Common’s new album, Be, the classic stamp of approval, so why not speak to the man who’s following in Kanye West’s chart-topping footsteps. Makes sense, don’t it? Ask Andréa-Duncan Mao.

more gangsta music
What’s better than one good Southern MC? How ’bout four of them from the ATL? Joycelyn A. Wilson introduces us to P. Diddy’s latest Bad Boy South acquisition, Boyz N Da Hood.

higher
He may not be the best since B.I.G. died, but Cassidy may have just enough talent and swagger to conquer the sophomore jinx. Michael A. Gonzales co-signs.

seductive
Ying Yang Twins know their role in today’s rap game. They supply the hip-hop nation with crunk grooves to keep the strip clubs of America in business. Jon Caramanica salutes them.

lost and found
He represents the underground of this culture. But fuck around and MF Doom just may end up being the next MC to hit the mainstream’s radar. Chairman Mao wouldn’t be happier.

shots fired
50 Cent generated a lot of new beef, but that hasn’t resulted in any classic material. This is how it should be done: XXL’s 20 Greatest Diss Songs. Elliott Wilson is the one to argue with.

cover story:
switch
His homie may have played him dirty, but if you think he’s gonna throw in the towel, you’re dumb. Dame Dash ain’t done.

so much more
Not feeling being a member of the Shawn Carter Administration, Cam’ron is looking to cake up with a new recording home.

Seems like one of the most boring XXL issues in years. Only interesting things to me would be the MF Doom and Common articles, and that top20 you guys already revealed. Def. not copping the issue.

another question, why isn't cam wearing pink?

[GangstaBoogy]

better question is why isnt "Dollaz N Sense" on the diss tracks list? or how about "Lose Change"...oh yeah, no dissing 50 allowed

[Spicemuthafuc*in1]

WORST LIST EVER! Seriousley that was one terrible list.  first off where is dj quik's dollarz n sense you could argue that it should be #1.

also Kurupt's callin out names is better than some of those songs.
im sorry but once i saw this list didnt have quik's diss towards eiht i knew it was one horrid list

I wonder if Cam goes to Cali and claims he's a "Taliban Blood" while wear furry pink outfits. My guess is he'd either get laughed at or shot.
