With his agile lyrical moves and ability to thread a rhyme right around the gray matter, it's not surprising that Cam'ron's past incarnation was as a basketball point guard -- a fact he alludes to frequently on his sophomore outing, Sports, Drugs, and Entertainment. The 22-year-old Harlem native, who once partnered with former bad boy Mase in the grim rap collective Children of the Corn, debuted in 1998 with the hard-as-nails Confessions Of Fire, storming the scene with the infectious Latin-tinged single "Horse and Carriage." Following in that radio-friendly tradition, this time around, Cam offers the ska-tinged lead single "What Means the World to You," which cleverly borrows its bass hook from the Police classic "Roxanne." Its more suggestive moments aside (the blatant come-on "Can I F**k You?" is directed to and answered by femme fatale label mate Charli Baltimore), S.D.E. finds Cam digging a bit deeper -- he waxes autobiographical tales about his b-ball days on the title track, which cleverly uses a loop of the dramatic "Monday Night Football" theme -- and giving testimonials of his rough-hewn street-runnin' days on the visceral "Violence," which boasts a guest spot from Wu-Tang court jester Ol' Dirty Bastard. Now that's entertainment! David Sprague

Cam'ron's sophomore full length, S.D.E. (Sports, Drugs and Entertainment), is packed with guest star appearances and stories of urban ills and his life as a former basketball player. Cam'ron receives help from friends like Destiny's Child, Old Dirty Bastard, and producer, Prodigy. Following in their foot steps, Cam'ron raps about common topics over catchy loops and hooks. Often, S.D.E mirrors rap, when it was more reflective than intense, but quickly sinks back into the modern day ordinary. With S.D.E. there is some obvious potential in the long run for this rapper. However, for now he is ideal for those that find themselves content with the down state of rap at the time of this album's release. ~ Diana Potts, All Music Guide
