3.5 solid,underrated follow-up to "Purple Haze" May 08, 2009
I'm starting to notice that Cam's most supportive critics are intelligent people with a lot of hip-hop knowledge.
First off, the Amazon review is wrong. This album sounds nothing like "Purple Haze"! Nothing sounds like that album. PH was Cam at his most focused, contented, experimental and sharp lyrically. This album is Cam taking it easy lyrically and just riding the epic beats. And thats still better than 95% of other rappers. "Killa Season" is less playful and more antagonistic Cam'ron music. He sticks to alot of boasting and threats which is always entertaining, but honestly isn't as great as he can be. But saying this disc is a frisbee really shallow.
There's too many songs but here are the classics: "Living a Lie", "Get 'em Daddy Remix", "Killa Cam Intro", "He Tried to Play Me", "Triple Up" and the amazing Jay-Z diss "You Gotta Love It". I really don't care for songs like "Suck it or Not" and "Do Ya Thing Remix".
One of the best tracks is "Bonus 2", a solo appearance from JR Writer.
Don't sleep on this one. It may be the weakest album from Cam'ron but thats not saying much for its quality. Think what "Fishscale" is to "The Pretty Toney Album" and you have this album.

KILLA! Sep 27, 2007
Cam'Ron Giles comes back with his 5th and most contreversial album. The streets say Cam'Ron is gonna end up like the great Tupac Shakur, and thats well....dead. "If G-Unit don't get you Jay-Z will."
Killa Season was overall an ejoyable album. The album intro called "Killa Cam" starts of with 40 Cal Freestyleing, which is very unusual... who starts their album with another rapper freestyling on it's intro?? Cam does, I supose. after the one minute freestyle is over, the beat changes into one of the best beats and song of the album. the second song on the album is "He Tried To Play Me" featuring Hell Rell, a real hot song, slow beat nice catchy hook. the third track is "Leave You Alone" very weak production, I should say very annoying which is well shared with weak lyrics, filler material at its best. The next is "Living A Lie" featuring Mo' Money, production is decent at best, hook is too simple. "We Make Change" follows which is better than the two previous tracks nice production, and nice collab with Juelz Santana. After the interlude The 2nd single "Wet Wipes" follows, Beat is great, hook is catchy, Killa's flow is amazing, but his do lyrics do slip at times. After getting pumed up from listening to "Wet Wipes" the first single of the album comes "Touch It Or Not". it Seems wierd to call a song "Touch It Or Not" especially scince he doesen't say touch it or not once through out the whole song, (I have Tte Non-Edited version) maybe he should hav saved the title for the edited version and called this one "Suck it Or Not". The song overall has a great beat, REALLY catchy hook, and some nice lines from both Killa and Lil Wayne("Vanilla Ice Cream She Say Ohhh My Favorite"- Lil Wayne)and also the blond lesbian girl in the video is REALLY Good looking and fits the description of killas rhymes at that time. "War" Featuring Hell Rell is decent at best.
Half way through the album I was already tempted to shut of my boom box, but listening to the 2 singles made me want to continue. So "Triple Up" Featuring 40 Cal is yet another filler track, there are some decent puchlinelines like ("I Was a legend since 19"- Killa Cam). listenting to I.B.S. is not easy, it has an anoying beat so i just skip it, NOTICE: THIS IS THE ONLY TRACK PRODUCED BY THE HEATMAKERZ. with that said "Get Ya Gun" is a diferent story if it wasn't cause a news repoter comes up 2 times on the song talking about how guns kill and all that. the beat is real hot the verses are better than most through out the album but most will hate it beacause he's telling kids to run and get a gun, beacuse it fun to shoot. "White Girl" has Cam trying to remake D-Rugs but failing miserably. "Girls, Cash, Cars" has a nice beat, very simple hook, nice punchlines overall an ok song. "Do Ya Thing (Remix)" has a very relaxing beat, really nice lirys, i would even dare say it is some what of an inspirational song. "Get 'Em Daddy (Remix)" is a very good song it features Hell Rell,J.R. Writer and Jim Jones nice punchlines from all except from Jim Jones who i consider the wackest member of Dip-Set ("You must have wrinten your will already if your saying our names"- Hell Rell, "You rappin' in direct, but it's lookin' like a movie shoot How they sendin' all these d*mn actors at the Set" -J.R. Writer, and "see i do react, HUD 6 threw me back, but few did clap But I ate those, them s**** was Scooby Snacks"- Killa Cam). after another dumb skit the worst song in the album comes "Something New" Feat. Hell Rell, nice slow beat but the punchlines are terrible ("Hell Rell and a model sittin' in a GT, K-I-S-S-I-N-G"-Hell Rell). Then Follows the infamous "You Gotta Love It" any dip-set fan or anybody who keeps their ears to the streets has heard this song before. but for those who haven't he goes after Jay-Z, with lines ("I know he 40 years old, I don't respect my elders I respect the hustlers, plus the grinders and the sellers You's a customer buster, here go jet propellers"- Killa Cam) it features Max B doing a really good and real CATCHY hook. the last track of the album is "Love My Life" feat. Nicole Wray. the track is nice and slow it ends the album well.
Overall the album could....no should have been pushed back for the better of it. There is too much filler material and too many mistakes production wise, If you look at the cd case it tells you how long each track is but for some reason those numbers aren't even close to accurate. his thank yous are to god and his son a writen in big letters so it looks like he said alot. that shows this was a real rushed project. the production is not as regular which is that Heatmakerz produce just about the whole album, no here Heatmakerz do only one track "I.B.S." . Another weak part in the album is that there are too many featured artist and most of them tend to outshine Cam'Ron aka Killa Cam. Cam'ron it to eager to start war with everyone through out the whole album he tells ALL rappers to start beef with him, he says he wants war but i don't think he can if he keeps puting out albums like this.
With the track time mistake in ALL THE SONGS, so much filler material, The 1ST SINGLE of the album name being writen incorrectly, with tracks that were in other albums being in here just to take up space (Expl. "War" was in the "Cam'ron Presents Dukadagod "The Movement Moves On" Cd.), there was only one track being produced by Heatmakerz, dip-set members all over the album making it feel like diplomatic immunity III, ovious typos and mistakes in the little booklet inside the case, this album is lucky to get 3 stars. But at the end of the day you can only blame 2 people, #1, The Artist- Killa Cam, and #2, The Executive Producer- Cam'ron Giles, and since they are both the same person it is easy to who failed at life.
My Top 5
1.He Tried To Play Me
2.Touch It Or Not
3.Wet Wipes
4.You Gotta Love It
5.Get Ya Gun or We Make Change
Beats- 3/5
Lyrics- 2/5
Punchlines- 3/5
Hooks- 3/5
Features- 4/5
Total 15/25 simplified = 3/5
simple math 3*s.

 Disappointed... Very dissapointed... May 04, 2007
I'm gonna be very honest with y'all on here. I wasn't impressed about this Killa Season album. I only liked "He Tried To Play Me" and "Get Em Daddy (Remix)". I couldn't believe that I wasted almost $20 on it!!! I was really pissed when I listened to this album. Now I know next time before I get another album, especially a Cam'Ron album, that I will listen to the samples on Amazon or CD Universe first. It's not that Cam'Ron is a bad lyricist, in which I don't think he is that bad. But I really think that this whole album for the most part needs a makeover or something. The production and most of the lyrics are just... Trash! Cam step yo game up man!!! I give this album a 1.5 of 5 stars.

A year later, and it's still wack. Apr 19, 2007
When Purple Haze came out, I was one of the first people to come to Cam'ron's defense on the quality of the album. A lot of people were hating on Cam, but I found Purple Haze to be one of the best commercial hip-hop albums in the late 2004/early 2005 season. The production was dope, and Cam'ron's flow was more on point than it'd ever been. Purple Haze made a genuine Cam'ron fan out of me; unfortunately, Killa Season has not only erased the good memories that I had bumping Purple Haze, but has also left a sour impression of Killa Cam in my mind.
When Killa Season came out, it was highly anticipated for myself. I was expecting Cam to follow the Purple Haze formula, and take it to another level. I was expecting a cast full of big-budget producers, and hot guest appearances from some of the industry's best. At the very least, I was expecting Cam to be on his A-Game, especially since he was launching a verbal war against the Jigga man. Not one of those wishes came true on Killa Season; in fact, every single one of those things I'd hope for were not only absent from this album, but they were substituted with some of the most dissapointing hip-hop I've ever had the displeasure to listen to.
The only producer you'll recognize in the liner notes of Killa Season is the almighty Alchemist; however, even geniuses can make mistakes, and that's no more apparent than his production work on Wet Wipes. The production is poor, and Cam'ron's flow and lyrics are both so inane that they'll have you thumping your head before the track ever finished; against a desk, or a wall, that is. What should've been a dope collaboration between one of the underground's best producers and one of the mainstream's most 'unique' emcees turns out to be one of the worst hip-hop tracks in recent memory.
Guests? DipSet. Not the better half of DipSet either - you get third-stringer tiers Hell Rell and 40 Cal on a handful of tracks while Jim Jones and Juelz Santana only make a couple guest appearances, suspiciously absent. The only non-DipSet guest is their regular affiliate, Lil Wayne, who drops undoubtedly the best verse on the album on the otherwise mundane Touch It Or Not.
Cam'ron himself? He's simply embarrassing on this release. He sings(yes, SINGS) some of the most asinine lyrics I've ever heard on He Tried To Play Me, while detailing his real life struggle with Irritable Bowel Syndrome(dear Lord) on the track appropriately named IBS. Both of these tracks will have you in hysterics throughout; not because Cam's delivering hilarious punchlines, but because they're, for lack of a better term, simply stupid. He tries to diss Jay-Z on You Gotta Love It, but ends up releasing a diss track that is less effective than even Ja Rule's Clap Back(and most certainly of lower-quality). His simple rhyme schemes can be forgiven when he's got hot beats, but his definiciencies as an emcee have never been more transparent than they are on Killa Season.
Up until the release of Killa Season, I had always defended Cam'ron against people who were claiming he was a wack emcee. He was never phenomenal in my mind, but the potential was always there; on Killa Season, everything is suddenly flushed down the toilet(no pun intended). Losing his spot as DipSet's man for humor to Jim Jones, his spot as the heir to any sort of throne to Juelz, and his spot as a 'real emcee' to JR Writer, Cam'ron has become nothing more than a washed-up emcee who was never great to begin with. No matter how much I wanted to like Killa Season, a year later, it's still as wack as it was the first time I heard it. Unless he can come back with the hottest album of his career next go around, Cam's career is over.
