starts out with “Fuck You,” set to the same instrumental used for the skit of the same name on Confessions-and it's a very appropriate intro for what was to come.
The mistakes mentioned in that song lead him to finally take rap seriously.

After sampling the perfect line: "either you slingin' crack rock or you got a wicked jump shot" from Biggie's "Things Done Changed." In it Cam talks about his hooping days and how he threw them away because he wanted to be a thug instead. He touches on this in the album's title track. The album served as the Diplomats' message to the game that they were coming. He shouted out his new crew and featured them on multiple tracks. In the album booklet (remember those?) there was a spread of his Dip tattoo he had on his hands. was one of the first times he mentioned his new collective, The Diplomats. And it meant even more once Cam demanded a released from his Sony deal and blew the fuck up after signing to Roc-A-Fella. But more about that later. That's why this album is so important to me. Those are the people who have all the women, money, clothes, and toys (or so it seems.) The streets and pop culture raise us because our parents are either working multiple jobs or just aren't around at all. (In Cam's case, he dabbled in all three.) Those are the first examples of "success" that we see as youngsters. Unfortunately, all we have to look forward to is selling drugs, playing some type of sport, or music. Cam'ron came up just like so many other ghetto youth.
The entire album showcases Cam's ability to make us laugh and sheds light on how honest he could be. The beats, the rhymes, the skits, the features, everything. Sports, Drugs & Entertainment is his most cohesive project to date. He killed the songs he was featured on during that period, like Clue's " Fantastic Four" and Nore's " Banned From T.V." So when S.D.E. He was gonna be next up. I loved Confessions of Fire but it felt too all over the place, the sequencing was off, and I wasn't feeling some of the beats. And when I first heard " Pull It," and then " Horse & Carriage"-forget about it. As someone who's been following Cam's career from his Children of the Corn days, I've always felt like he had the ability to become one of rap's elite. On “That’s Me,” S.D.E.’s second track, Cam rapped: “This is for my niggas that load the pipe/Saying I'm the best just not promoted right.” And it was true. The album didn’t get the proper push from Sony/Epic-an important thing pre-Internet. It originally flew under the radar when it was released. When people talk about Cam'ron’s discography only a select few will bring up S.D.E. RELATED: Cam'Ron & A-Track "Two The Hard Way" (2014 Cover Story) Most fans typically hail Purple Haze or Come Home With Me as Cam'ron's best work, but one writer argues why Cam hit his peak in 2000.
