Photographer: Piotr Sikora. SPORTS, DRUGS, AND ENTERTAINMENT, better known as S.D.E., is the highly anticipated sophomore release from Harlem's Cam'Ron. Though he's been away for a little while, the rapper hasn't forgotten how to mould his witty rhyme style to danceable tracks. On "What Means The," he teams up with an unknown "shorty" to go back and forth about the conflicting desires of men and women. And though he's out of the 'hood these days, he still pays homage to the street life on tracks such as "My Hood" and "Losin' Weight." On S.D.E., Cam'Ron proves that he's a versatile rapper with staying power.

Q (12/00, p.118) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...[He] is good at what he does....Cam'ron has a freeflowing style, and the melodic beast and soul samples..." Vibe (9/00, p.248) - 3.5 records out of 5 - "...A rugged album that showcases his potential....employing harder-edged beats as a backdrop for his witty wordplay and cynical worldview....effortlessly mixing bitter sarcasm with poignant thoughtfullness..."

The leader of Harlem crew the Diplomats (aka Dipset), Cam'Ron first made a name for himself as a member of Children of the Corn, also featuring his cousin Bloodshed, Ma$e, and the late great Big L. Killer Cam began a lucrative partnership with Jay-Z's Roc-A-Fella label in the early 2000s that culminated in the commercial and stylistic landmark, PURPLE HAZE. Both a colorful rapper and a pop figure in general, Cam'Ron has been involved in multiple feuds (with, among others, his own former colleague Jay-Z), a shooting, and some rough-and-tumble business practices. All of which have helped make him one of the largest personalities in hip-hop's new millennium.
