one of the many reasons i like Cam’ron is b/c his in&out uptown niggerati avant-garde pink-thug wordplay Harlem cryptohomo flimflamboyant whipcrack poetry lifestyle partakes of a lineage that began with Langston Hughes.
The Harlem Renaissance never ended.
Cam just brought in Lamborghinis & advanced banjee realness.
And now Oh Word adds to our understanding by sharing the AMAZING discovery of Cam’ron’s rhyme notebook.
(the rest of it is better than the cover!)
The thing about Killa Cam dotting his ‘i’s with lil hearts and generally acting like a middle-school girl is that it is somehow completely believable, and this, coupled with the fact that somebody put A LOT of time into it, just pushes OhWord’s work over the edge into nextlevelness & we thank the internets, whose magic functioning Cam explains here.
