    Don’t worry, you’ll see New York when Killa Season takes the #1 spot next week.

    I know, I almost mentioned that. And these little reports are only a slice of the chart activity, anyway.
    It’ll be interesting to see how Cam does.

    Bold prediction: “Killa Season” will not smell platinum. Ever since he put out “Oh Boy,” Cam has made a concentrated effort to only make obnoxious, movie-theme sampled street bangers that the buying public at large (white people) will not buy. I remember hearing “Oh Boy” every damn day for a good 3 months and that album went platinum 6 months after its release. Cam is the epitome of a New York rapper, because people outside of the east coast really don’t feel his music on a grand scale. His music has no warmth or soul, no personal connection to people, no timeless quality to it. Now you can say that about most rappers on a major, but for all the huff and puff that Cam’ron and the Dips make, they are quite shallow. Swagger over substance.
