在很多南部歌手不爭氣地比車子和數鈔票的時候,Chamillionaire確實又一次證明了南部還是有好的詞作者的。他一句“I dont envy when another nigga make it cos I’m smart too”雖然不算一句很漂亮的punchline,但將這個有想法的小伙子的形象勾勒了出來。在取得商業成功的同時,Chamillionaire的mixtape銷量也是驚人的,在02年與Paul Wall發行的《Get Ya Mind Correct》就賣到150,000張。相對於大部分難以勾起歌迷興趣的混音帶,Chamillionaire的混音帶彌賽亞(Mixtape Messiah)系列確實一定程度上拯救了南部鋪天蓋地卻難以保證質量的混音帶市場。Chamillionaire
Kanye just said WHAT? the president ain’t got time for that
The White House is going to stay white even tho’ we know Obama’s black
與Wanye一起當了回Rock Star之後,Devin The Dude又跟Cham一起像Dewey Cox一樣在Rocky Road上永不止步了:
what part of the voyage is this? Friendship and business don’t mix
With anyone else it’s just business, with friends I’m personally pissed
Is this a curse or a gift? Guess I was blessed with my wish
Don’t tell me that you feel my pain that I seen, it’s best that we switch
You take the fortune and fame and see if it’s what you expected
Bun B和Pimp C分別在“Pimp Mode”、“Welcome To The South”兩首歌曲中出現,在兩名UGK成員分別歌頌家鄉並不忘細數高品質生活的同時,Cham仍然沒有如某些歌迷所願唱起candy paint、rims、diamonds,因為他用這種方式對質疑南部只有candy paint和grille的人們給出了最好的反擊:
Must you criticize everything we did
Then expect at us to never even trip, mmm
We more than grilles and candy paint so be careful what you say
Cause we must just throw it right back in your face, hey
Better watch your mouth
專輯三分之二是solo,而這其中也不乏punchline:
My two eyes just didn’t tear, cause weakness is what I didn’t fear
It’s a better result than last time but this grind it’s a different year
Cause the ocean’s so clear you look down and see the sand
最後一首歌“Ultimate Victory”在電音中展開了,同樣與最終勝利的主題切合,像第一首早間新聞中的“Silly rappers think I’m worried about a punchline / I show more purpose than your whole career in one line”一樣,沒有放過在他事業上“幫助”過他的人,而且不僅用話語權給自己贏得尊敬,也將Dirty South的面子掙了回來:
Let me repaint the pic, they wasn’t depicting me right
Tell the world that I’m more than just a grill
Show you how to put cha hands on more than a wood wheel
