Cam’ron says Chicago and Louisiana are the two best cities for lyricism when it comes to hip-hop. He shared his take during the latest episode of It Is What It Is with Mase. In doing so, he showed love to several artists including Lil Wayne, Eminem, and more.
“I lived in Chicago and they may have the best lyricists. Them and Louisiana," Cam said. "I’m talking about as far as lyricists. We really take [it] for granted. New York used to call people ‘country’ in the ’80s and early ’90s. Even thinking about Lil Wayne. If you get on a record with Lil Wayne you gotta be careful. Lil Wayne will go crazy. If you go on a record with Eminem, you gotta be careful. These n****s are really lyricists …" From there, he brought up several Chicago artists including Twista and Yung Buk. He concluded: “I think Chicago artists are really, really underrated as far as rap is concerned.”
