In Black Hollywood (Explicit)
About This Album
Camp Lo, the Bronx rap duo who authored the 1997 throwback rap classic "Luchini aka This Is It," made an unexpected, and quite refreshing, return in 2007 with Black Hollywood. Camp Lo's return was unexpected because the duo (i.e., Geechi Suede and Sonny Cheeba) had dropped off after the indifferent reaction to their previous album, sophomore effort Let's Do It Again (2002). Part of the reason Let's Do It Again was met so indifferently was because of the five-year gap distancing it from its predecessor, the debut album Uptown Saturday Night (1997). Camp Lo faced the same fate with Black Hollywood, which, like Let's Do It Again, was a half-decade distanced from its predecessor. No question about it, five years is a lifetime in rap terms; in fact, few rappers see their career endure five years' time total. What helps make Black Hollywood feel welcome in 2007, and more likely to be embraced than Let's Do It Again was, is the presence of producer Ski (aka Ski Beatz), who gets visible billing here. Ski was the original Camp Lo producer, the guy who programmed the beats of "Luchini" as well as "Coolie High," another highlight from Uptown Saturday Night.
