Well since rap is boring and stale I've been listening to old shit. I put Kam's first cd in and daaamn this is what rap should be like. Every song has an important topic and Kam puts everything into his lics. I mean, you can listen to this cd and get yourself a history lesson. U can also hear how after 10 years, its still the same problems in the world, just nobody raps about them anymore.
Even though the production is dated by todays standards, it still hits hard and works perfect with the lyrics. No studio tricks, just real shit front to back.
Still Got Love 4 Um is my cut, but really theres not a bad song on this album. everyone should check it out if they haven't already. A lot of people mention Made In America (which I agree is also an amazing album) but lyrically i really think this album is better. Hope he comes back like this on The Self

Neva Again
This is Westcoast music at it's most potent.
During this period, nothin' was like the leftside becuase it was leading and laying the blueprint for what hip-hop sound's like now.
Back when Ny was rappin' bout gold chain's high top fades and polka dots...
The Westcoast was making them real joint's, the kind we still smoke today.
+ That duet wit' Kam & Cube is :o
This political yet still funky azz fuck cd has all the makes of a Cali Classic.....Nahh!!
It's a fucken hip-hop Classic ImO
expecially when blasted nexx to Kam's apperance on The Boyz-n-tha hood soundtrack "Every single weekend"
ohh shitt!! that was the fucken cruise song.
Where the fuck has hip-hop gone.
It's missing...
But atleast we still got the tapes

It's the only Kam album that I own og. I need to say that is good, really good. The beats are funky and have dope samples. My favourite track is "Watts Riot".

When you build a time machine could you send one this way? ;D I know what you mean, the West Coast was everywhere back then, I got that CD at a mall (the same one I got the Blast If I Have To single at) back then. I even remember a 5 minute MTV news segment about the making of "Got Love 4 Um" back then. And seeing the video occasionally. Strong lyrics + strong music = classic album. And "Every Single Weekend" whoa!! Tied for my favorite song on Boyz N The Hood, even though I listen to it more than How To Survive In South Central. "This is strictly for the underground audience..."
My favorite off of Neva Again has to be Peace Treaty, I'm surprised no one's mentioned it.
peace,

yeeea glad to see some of y'all feel what i'm talking bout here. Whutup Hatesrats and tnp and all the real west coast heads.
Can you imagine someone coming out like Kam nowdays? First off they probably wouldnt get a record deal, if they did they'd probably never get to MTV, and even if they managed to do that people wouldn't feel them cuz they aint about partying or theyre anti government. Fuck that! if you listen to some of these records from 92/93 (Cube and Kam for example, theres plenty others) there's that incredible emotion and spirit in the tracks.
I dunno, maybe people dont feel like protesting anymore. Maybe this joke of a war will get some people's minds and spirits up again and we can start hearing some struggle and commentary in the music again

yeah, it's deffinatly a "hard" album. the topics are strait hard and the beats are strait hard. this is hard core shit. not intended for your laid back type of listeners. I love it. that song Watts Riot got me hooked to the album. best song on there. IMO.
