The mayor of “Santana’s Town” has been embroiled in behind-the-scenes contractual turmoil with his onetime mentor Cam’ron. “I was upset about the part of me being ’sold for $2 million,’ ” Santana told MTV News, standing in front of his New Jersey studio on Thursday. “At times like this, nobody is trying to ’sell’ me. I could have come out and said, ‘Oh, yeah, Cam got bought out.’ But I didn’t go that route. They just gotta watch me move. We gonna make it hot.”
Now that he recently got out of his legal obligation to Cam’s Diplomat Records, the 23-year-old is signed directly to Def Jam. Juelz said “tons” of his work on other artists’ songs never saw the light of day. “I’m just gonna say a lot of big records. … I was on a good portion of those records, or asked to be on a good portion of those records that [Lil] Wayne was on — along with him, not like they asked me before they asked him, or vice versa. I have no hard feelings towards Cam,” he explained. “I tell people I couldn’t do business with him. But I will say he gave me the biggest chance I needed. I’m a dude from the ‘hood, so the chance he gave me is a chance I needed to never turn back. I’m good. My artistry, my talent, my career was never built on controversy. So I would never come out and say a whole bunch of things that could be said. All I can say is, I’m sorry he can’t be here to be a part of what’s about to happen, because we’re about to tear ‘em up.”
We guess Killa Cam will just sit back and continue to talk sh*t from his little kiddie pool.
Where’s Cam’ron? Apparently, working for Disney. America is in a frenzy after finding out that the Disney Channel Hits CD that they purchased for Christmas is filled with uncensored Dipset songs. What’s the big deal? We guarantee that the kids probably own every rap CD ever made.
Famed Harlem gangster Nicky Barnes, who is played by Cuba Gooding Jr. in American Gangster, has something to say about Cam’ron’s take on snitchin’:
When I realized they left me on the battlefield to die, I said, “Fuck it!” … I said, “I’ll pull those motherfuckers in, let them see what it’s like.” I would rather be out here in the witness program than to be in jail with them. Why would I wanna be in there with them kinda niggers? I don’t regret it. I saw this show on CNN, with Anderson Cooper. Cats were talking about “Don’t snitch, no matter what happens.” Well, I can’t see how a guy can be considered strong if he lets a bunch of assholes walk all over him and he doesn’t respond, just because of some code that a bunch of idiots have cooked up. Anderson Cooper asked this rapper, “Suppose a child was molested and you knew who this molester was. Would you tell the police?” He said, “No.” So that’s what I’m sayin’—the street guidelines are just moron bullshit.
Is it just us or was the American Gangster movie a let down??? Denzel and Russell Crowe had their acting game on but we were expecting a lot more.
Cam’ron appears to be done hiding out in Miami and swimming in his little kiddy pool and recently did an interview with Hot 97’s Miss Info. Cam’ron blamed his disappearance from the game on his mother having a stroke and spoke out against Jim Jones ridin’ with his enemy, 50 Cent:
I still haven’t spoken to Jim. But Jim ran with me for over 10 yrs, he worked hard, and I wish him the best of luck.
Everybody thinks I’m mad at Jim. Why am I mad? I told people for years that Jimmy was gonna be a star. So its better on my resume…I wish him the best.
The only thing is, him being with 50, I can’t really run with that. Hang out with who you want to hang out…but me, I can’t really do nothing like that.
What type of rules is Jimmy playin’ by? Frank Lucas would be proud. If you missed Cam’ron bragging about his swimming pool with his little thugged-out T Mobile sideckick, click here.
Another track from Jay-Z’s American Gangster has been leaked and your boy Killa Cam is officially making his “comeback”. Here are the tracks…have a listen and let us know your thoughts.
*Sorry we had to take this pic down, Cam’Ron doesn’t want anyone to know he’s looking frail, kicking it at Mickey D’s.
Here is Cam’ron at a McDonalds somewhere. That fillet mignon may be a little pricey now. A few months ago, he was spotted with his little T-Mobile sidekick bragging about his 1 foot deep baby vacation pool.
He is looking slim, hopefully the rock man is not getting what’s left of his stacks. According to rumors, Cam was socked up by The Roc’s Tru Life and went into hiding. Poor thang.
Cam’Ron blew up the “Stop Snitchin” phenomenon on a 60 Minute special earlier this year and now a Florida newspaper is under fire after printing an editorial cartoon on “Stop Snitchin”.
Some readers were shocked and angered by a Friday editorial page cartoon depicting a black man with a smoking gun in his hand standing over a bullet-riddled victim. “I didn’t see nuttin’!” said a little girl standing nearby. “Now that’s a good little ho!” said the gunman. Both the shooter and the child wore T-shirts saying “Don’t Snitch!”The cartoon carried a caption: “The new rule of Law!” A billboard in the background depicted more black characters under lyrics, “Rap your life away.” Continue »
10 Cent discussing rival Cam’ron in the new issue of XXL:
XXL: Some of Cam’ron’s jabs are about your not being in the streets with the people.
What am I supposed to do, stand on the corner and smoke weed with him? I don’t smoke weed, and I’m not standing on the corner. For what? I stood on the corner when that was my hustle. I got a new hustle and a new concept of a corner to stand on. The same idiot that you just mentioned went on 60 Minutes and said he wouldn’t tell police about [the whereabouts of] a serial killer. Only thing missing from hip-hop is an IQ test. If you’re smart, you know that’s not the fuckin’ place to say that. Then you gotta send a statement out and apologize. What does that mean? That he will snitch?
