Title: Chamillionaire
Post by: Sanford - V. President of the Dangerous Crew Movement on April 17, 2008, 10:51:31 AM
the first time i heard dude was when my patna threw SOR on in my car.  and i was like oh shit dude is sick.  and its really hard for me to like somebody that is not from the west coast, so that album was really like a fuckin eye opener.

so i got into him more, waiting for new releases....comense Mixtape Messiah 2.  that mixtape was better than most commercial artists put out major albums.  bumpin that, then miXtape messiah 3 comes out....and this shit was just as good.  then the album UV drops and although it didnt sell too many records(because it wasnt marketed right) it was a great fuckin album man.

so i was just wondering, what other artists consistinly drops high quality music...its gotta be this dude...not to mention his mixtapes are usually free.

how would you rate his past 4 releases.?  imo,

SOR
8.8/10

MM2
8.5/10

MM3
8.4/10

UV
8.6/10

Man, I don't know. I never really paid a lot of attention to his albums. Chamillionaire is an ok rapper, but I can't listen to him for 15 minutes. He's too monotone and not versatile enough.

Chamillionare is dope and he is versatile IMO, he can sing hooks, switch flows, great storyteller and lots of dope concepts.

MM2,MM3 - 9/10 (he has the best mixtapes period)
SOC - 710 (didn't feel it that much, typical South album and he was trying to please the label, going the commercial route)
UV- 9,5/10 (fresh, out of the box, lots of replay value, might be a classic for me in the future)

Speaking of Cham, what the hell is going on with MM4 ?

Eyyo, what's the right tracklists for the Mixtape Messiah mixtapes?

My lists are a lil different than wiki, which is my only source.

Agree with most of it. Haven't heard UV, so can't tell with that one. MM 2 & 3 were of the chain!! Killing SOR, bad album to me, didn't like the beats, to much (bad) southern style to 'em. But Cham sure is dope!  ;D

Yeah hes been pretty consistent since i first heard of him in like 2002. Don't sleep on the shit he did with Paul Wall either. 'Get Ya Mind Correct' and 'Controversy Sells' are both solid.

This must be some sort of sarcasm, only few rappers can switch up styles like Koopa, he's probably the most versatile rapper in the business, he can drop a verse to any occasion, any type of flow, on any type of beat, everything between straight hard lyrics and singing/crooning.. not to mention his impersonations. Very versatile.

Still waiting for "Run (Immigration)" original version, hopefully it will still be on MM4.

When 80-90% of your songs sound the same, you're not versatile.

I don't know what the hell is this guy talking about...

Chamillionaire is the most creative and original rapper out there right now, and Ultimate Victory was easilly the best album of 2007, and I don't give a shit how many units it sold. That album was made for mature listeners only, which is what most rap fans are not unfortunatelly...
To say he's not versatile means you haven't listened to any of Chamillionaire's songs.

Plus, he also makes the best mixtapes, so the discussion might as well end here.

Krayzie Bone's latest mixtape shits all over Chamillionaire's resume. Don't tell me I don't know what the hell I'm talking about. I like to listen to quality.

Chamillionaires no where near one dimensional hes in my TOP 3 of rappers out right now defenitly ...


my top 3 in no order is

Crooked i , Chamillionaire and Fabolous (2 platinum Albums on the mainstream level where he has to go through corporate suits, and LYRICAL MASTERY on mixtapes where he can showcase his skills)

Best in the business, Sound of Revenge still gets constant rotation in my car.  It's refreshing to hear a rapper who doesn't just rap about how he's going to shoot your mother in the face.

I didn't like sound of revenge too much but ultimate victory was my favourite album of last year. It seems like every time I play it to someone they love it but hadn't really heard a lot about the album because the singles didn't take off.
