Cam'ron Releases Video With a Throwback Sound

 It kind of seems weird to call "Oh Yeah" a new song. Yes, this fall's Killa Season 2 will be Cam'ron's first solo album since '09, but if this single is anything to go by, the man may have been in a medically induced coma for 7 years. "Oh Yeah" (and its video) drip with Dipset style, reminding us all of an era where it was enough for rappers simply to write songs about how cool they were, so long as they banged. And "Oh Yeah" bangs, with a beat straight out of a climactic scene in a Rocky movie. And while Cam'ron isn't as lyrically incisive as Kendrick, as uplifting and inspirational as Chance, or as innovative as Kanye West, he doesn't try to be, which is refreshing. He's being himself on the track, and that's all it takes.
