    Cam’s verse on DJ clue’s fantastic four 2 is legendary “back in the days we was slaves, whips and chains, It's tradition, all I got, whips and chains”
  • @CVinyl
    Cam does have word play a true MC 🎤
  • @darryldennis3487
    Cam definitely made it cool to wear pink, I was around during that time … plus he a rapper’s rapper… like if you an artist yourself you understand how intricate his bars are. Dude was rhyming whole sentences and had em make sense
  • its krazy how he looks just like the real Alpo Martinez.. the role was perfect for him
  • @ellocovg
    Don’t forget too that Cam’s/Dipset prime was in the bootleg era. In the hood everyone banged these songs but they bought the bootleg 5 for $20 version!!!! It goes all the way back to SDE which was leaked and put out way before it came out. Purple Haze I bought the boot leg version at least a year or a year and a half before it actually came out. Dipset and Gunit were the hood favorites but unfortunately no one in the hood bought the real cd’s or there numbers would of been stupid crazy.

    Yeah, I feel like Came’on definitely needs more recognition in the rap game and he should be up there with Jay-Z and 50. I think his style was exclusively Northeast and he never really had national hits like those guys. “Purple Haze” is criminally underrated
  • 🗣️Used to have THE BIGGEST crush on this dude🤣💯 It was the pink, and his style of cadence on tracks🔥🫶🏾🔥
  • @johnrossol6438
    Cam’ron is not the best rapper of all time, but he is my favorite rapper. Dude is unique and had his own style.
  • Mase being in that vid would've been huge for Cam. Might've pushed him platinum as big as Mase was.
  • @raeltarantino
    L.O.X made Dipset look so bad on stage that I was embarrassed. Juelz and Wayne had that "I Can't Feel My Face" project that was never released, and it was some of Juelz' best verses along with Wayne's, too. So much wasted potential came out of Dipset from Hell Rell to Juelz. Hell Rell, during his "Hardest Out" mixtape run, was on fire. "S.D.E" was one of my favorite Cam'ron albums, and "Purple Haze" just needed some trimming, especially when it came to the skits. 48:18
