Cam’ron & Vado “Girls Cry”
Cam’ron always raps with a playful cadence; it’s part of what makes him so easy to like even when he’s being a dick. It’s a slick charm — something about his voice tells you that he’s just playing with you and it always rings true. He’s funny too, particularly when he’s being crass. This track has a classy, sparkling sound to it, but he’s goofy and lewd, talking about a girlfriend so possessive that she insists on sniffing his balls when he gets in the house. She’s uptight and obsessive, but he plays it cool and laid back. He leans into the track like it’s a particularly comfortable chair. Vado is another story. When he comes in, he’s angry and defensive. He’s an interesting foil for Cam — harder but less assured. Vado emphasizes Cam’s effortless vibe, which in turn highlights the raw emotion in Vado’s performance.
