Kam is just one of the latest converts to Islam, 1 he attempts to mix education and funk. Ice ae's Death Certificate is the only album that efively merged the two. Cube was able to show his people where they and where they need to be, without outright aching. Chuck D has also had success in this a in "Fear of A Black Planet." "Made in America's" second track "Trust Noly" has a played out P-Funk beat, and Kam's v flow doesn't work. He should leave that to the ster, Too Short. On t.rark three. "Pull Ya Hoe Card." Kam has same old tired lyerics used by wanna-be hard lgstas. The style was great when it was origied in 1989 by the D.O.C. Track four has a smoothe seat tempo. It is Kam's pledge to the Nation of am and actually has lyrics that seem original, shows he is trying to remain true to his roots i hood.
