So it comes as a shock that his follow-up is such a low-budget, uninspired affair. SAMPLE CIBELLE Check out audio clips at Cam'ron KILLA SEASONĬam'ron's last record was the epic, florid, and intoxicating ``Purple Haze," which seemed to place the MC in the hip-hop pantheon. Cibelle may sing like Astrud Gilberto, but her songs often sound more like emanations from the messed-up mind of fellow Brazilian Tom Ze, and the unusual combination of sounds from Sampa is surprisingly felicitous. The album's everything-and-the-kitchen-sink aesthetic includes off-key whistling on ``Esplendor," clattering spoons on ``Mad Man Song," and acoustic picking and synthesizer waves, drum patterns, and scat-singing all melded into a symphony for ``the people walking down the street" in ``City People." Brazil and boho beat-mining make for a curious combo, with some efforts in mixology going down more smoothly than others. 21, has a taste for intellectual bossa nova, an impression only intensified by her cover of Caetano Veloso's ``London London," with freak-folk icon Devendra Banhart doing his best Caetano impression - which is pretty good. Cibelle, who plays the Institute of Contemporary Art Sept. Working with an impressive cast of musicians that includes fellow Brazilian Seu Jorge and French MC Spleen, Cibelle weaves an enchanting brand of chill-out music for dance and indie fans. Cibelle, Brazilian-born but living in London, combines this now-traditional bossa-nova sound with a more experimental, I'll-try-anything-twice approach to making music and an electronic-music sheen. The Brazilian influence, in the context of American and British music, has often been about creating an impression: of endless sunny days and acoustic guitars strummed on Copacabana beach, of waifish chanteuses singing in beachfront cafes. Taking that into account, the album is exceptional and a good enough excuse for two more years of mouthing off and starting trouble.Cibelle THE SHINE OF ELECTRIC DRIED LEAVES Killa Season would have benefited from trimming and better planning, but those things are extremely rare in the world of Dipset. The memorable "Wet Wipes," the Alchemist-produced "Something New," and "Touch It or Not" with Lil Wayne are all sane and hooky enough to reach past the core audience, proving the man hasn't lost touch. Every doctor visit is chronicled and the scatological puns are numerous, but the hardcore Dipset fan will jump right ahead to "You Gotta Love It," an ambitious Jay-Z dis that has no shame ("It was Rocawear/When Dame had it/Now you got it/Call it Cockawear" or the slaying observation that the Def Jam boss has actually worn sandals with jeans!). Best of the latter and best of show is the great "I.B.S.": a quirky number that explains Cam'ron's significant weight loss was due to irritable bowel syndrome.

Plus, when the leader of one of hip-hop's most irresponsible crews announces he's the man to wipe pedophiles off the Internet with a series of entrapments that are caught on tape and released on Dipset DVDs, you've got wonder what in the world this mixtape-spewing, freak-show ringmaster has going on upstairs, and where's the music to convince everyone they should care? The overly long and scattershot Killa Season won't convince everyone as it literally laughs at detractors, shoves most of its fire to the end of the album, and carelessly bounces from cold gangsta to vulnerable.

He was also the victim of a botched carjacking with all sorts of questions orbiting around it, and he directed an over-the-top movie that shares this album's title. There was his beef with Mase and his bigger beef with Jay-Z, which found Cam'ron fighting battles for Damon Dash while Dash just shrugged. The two years leading up to Killa Season found Dipset leader Cam'ron coming off as more of a newsmaker than a rapper, and the news was often bad, mostly confusing and oddball.
