Theres no Mind of a Lunatic or Minds Playing Tricks on Me here, but there is Rain, a track featuring Scarface thats as sobering as it is uplifting.Ĭhams as incisive and clever and nimble here as he is anywhere else: Tired of being poor, tryin to leave the ratsWalk out to see that three of your tires are flatAnd that one tire lefts a sign, I hopeThat helps you to keep on grindin when youre kind of brokeThat helps you to keep composure up around your folkThat keeps you from tryin to wrap a rope around your throat. Lyrically, he has a lot more range than the contemporaries mentioned above, making it evident that he took heed from the gripping narratives and bleak rhymes within the early Geto Boys albums. Speaking of hooks, Cham provides almost all of them, switching between rhymes and singsongy vamps on a dime.
Though he occasionally sounds as defensive as someone backed into a corner (hear the vicious Frontin in particular) and pens a few abjectly vigilant rhymes, his voice always slides through the ears with almost as much effortless composure as a Nate Dogg hook. He goes relatively soft on a couple tracks, but the tradeoff is that he continues to get better with time, and an overwhelming majority of the material here is only a slightly polished spin on what can be heard on his mixtapes.Įven when the MC is at his most vengeful, he boasts an easy flow thats as easy to listen to as a warm, fluid bassline. The Chamillionaire that Southerners and other rabid followers of Southern rap have been hearing throughout the past few years hasnt made many concessions with this major-label release.
