Cam’ron feat. Snoop Dogg “Yo Momma On Ya”: The search for Red the Homeless Singer
Posted by Miss Info under Crony-ism , Exclusives , Good For Hip Hop , Good For Humanity , New Music[62] Comments
Wow, I’ve been hearing about this song for months, and finally Cam sent it over…
New Music: Cam’ron feat. Snoop Dogg “Yo Momma On Ya”
But the backstory for “Yo Momma on Ya” is even crazier….the hook and the flow is originally created by a well-known homeless guy named Red, who was first recorded by the folks at the HVW8 Art Gallery in Los Angeles. Red was living in the alley behind their gallery. His performance became a youtube favorite, and Cam actually paid for the rights to the song. But then Red disappeared! So now…Cam and Snoop are hoping that by putting out the song, someone will track down Red, so they can make sure he’s getting his money and can get in the video. Watch Red’s original “Call Yo Momma On Ya” after the jump….
Update: Remix featuring Jim Jones after the jump

I thought Stones Throw records owned the rights to this song. They put out a single with remixes on it about a year or two ago.

That dude deserve his money lol that shit was hottt the orginal version was hotter than Cam version
August 26th, 2010 at 11:11 pm
Cam bought it from them.
August 26th, 2010 at 11:11 pm

August 26th, 2010 at 11:16 pm
This dude said Cagney and Lacey!!!
August 26th, 2010 at 11:19 pm
Smh at this song. I need another Speaking tongues or something from the Heat Makerz, this isn’t getting it.
August 26th, 2010 at 11:25 pm
This dude could be the next Nate Dogg.
Hey Miss Info, what’s up with 50 talking reckless about you on twitter?
August 26th, 2010 at 11:30 pm
haha this reminds me of Master Slob at Rucker Park. few know that the whole Chicken Noodle Soup/Lite Feet craze from a few years ago was sparked by a ballcourt homeless dude/mascot
August 26th, 2010 at 11:40 pm
shit, finding him is like finding Osama Bin Laden… on some real ish. I swear if I knew where he was you’d be the first to know. =/ when I saw him… I guess it was by luck. Now, when I hear good news about him, he’s nowhere to be found. =/
August 26th, 2010 at 11:41 pm
Actually that hook sounds like Bling-Bling from bumfights, i maybe wrong…but look that up on youtube and listen to the voice
August 26th, 2010 at 11:42 pm
This Red dude is the Original Human Autotune!
August 26th, 2010 at 11:45 pm
All jokes aside they need to find him and lock him up in a studio for a week to see what else he can come up with!
August 26th, 2010 at 11:46 pm
kasely you dont understand the story bout this hook
you dont understand how epic this shit is
i remember when this homeless nigga first surfaced
August 27th, 2010 at 12:18 am
lol, yeah it was disturbing but i think he was joking. i think he was more disrespectful to some of my friends though. overall, his twitter rampage was entertaining
August 27th, 2010 at 12:20 am

August 27th, 2010 at 12:37 am

August 27th, 2010 at 12:39 am

August 27th, 2010 at 1:37 am
I bet you this is how Akon found T-Pain too lol. Even will all his chains & top hats T-Pain still has a homeless look to him
August 27th, 2010 at 2:21 am

August 27th, 2010 at 8:21 am
Jim Jones and Red the bum
I wonder who needs a shape up worse?
August 27th, 2010 at 8:50 am
Cam is truly a humanitarian for this one
August 27th, 2010 at 9:31 am
eh, the stones throw version was better. this one is too light in the ass. i thought it was going to be rougher (like the ST version), especially with cam on it…
August 27th, 2010 at 9:48 am
sounds like Jimmy is slowly getting better on the remix
August 27th, 2010 at 10:00 am
i think the track would have been better if they speeded up there flow rather then slowing it down. on some like twista/ machine gun kelly shit.. welp at least red is getting something in the bank now.
August 27th, 2010 at 10:34 am
Quiet as kept, that homeless dude killed that shit. I’ma have that in my head for the rest of the day I know it.
August 27th, 2010 at 10:45 am
they did a horrible job wit this joint,Red aint gonna see nuttin from this..n from wut ive heard Red’s locked up
August 27th, 2010 at 11:30 am
this track is DOPE
August 27th, 2010 at 11:48 am
LMAO!!! lyrically this is better than anything ive EVA heard from T-Pain..IJS!!!
August 27th, 2010 at 11:50 am

August 27th, 2010 at 12:03 pm
ok i saw it….did he just get on twitter or something..he was heavy on there too!!! i didnt see anything too offensive about u miss info and didnt read enough to catch anything about anyone else! hope it wasnt too disrespectful and im sure u didnt lose sleep over it!
August 27th, 2010 at 12:31 pm
Killa is a true Harlem dude! Sampling people from these viral videos (Red, Amber lamps, etc.), paying them, but also keeping cake in his pocket versus sampling what everyone else samples (i.e., http://best.complex.com/lists/Kon-Amir-Present-The-50-Greatest-Samples-In-Hip-Hop-History) and paying a ton of money for it.
On the low, Killa is at a place where many rappers want to be (mainstream yet underground)!
August 27th, 2010 at 12:47 pm
reckless ? i didnt see everything he wrote, but the ones i did see, i would have thought it was kinda flattering
but ye, this song is crap, one of the worst things i heard snoop ever do…i hate it when i hear a song from an artist i have great respect for and all i can think is, i could have done better with that
hope they find that kid tho, i am more excited with the prospect of him actually going in the studio and doing his own song himself than hearing this big name artists on the kids song
August 27th, 2010 at 1:06 pm
yo this dude serious…..i watched this video like 4 times just buggin how hes really rockin all by himself….i hope they fine dude n give him his props ….he deserves it
August 27th, 2010 at 3:31 pm
amen!
August 27th, 2010 at 4:52 pm
now that i heard the cam snoop version of the joint. they didnt need to do that with out dude. he should have been in da studio with them and the video, if they is one. i hope they get it right or just leave it alone cuz red could have done it by himself!!!!
August 27th, 2010 at 4:54 pm
i agree!!!
August 27th, 2010 at 7:26 pm
YUP EPIC FAIL
August 27th, 2010 at 7:28 pm
I agree…Cam needs better production.
August 27th, 2010 at 7:31 pm
LOL..I agree
August 27th, 2010 at 7:59 pm
LMAO this video is CLASSIC! Love the version from Cam & Snoop too & somebody need find this RED dude ASAP!
August 27th, 2010 at 10:55 pm
@sunraw, @secondbest21 and @missinfo Stones Throw released the vinyl 7″ with HVW8 that’s it. HVW8 has been working with Red – as much as it sounds like that’s possible – since the beginning.
@eric is right about finding him…
August 28th, 2010 at 1:56 am
The man without the machine version was tight. He must be found by now. I hope.
August 28th, 2010 at 3:08 am
The new Rahzel!
Hey Info I think Fif was payin ya a compliment. With your sexy ass and all. LOL
August 28th, 2010 at 8:25 am
I think I read that this cat RED is in jail…
“Encouraged by his raw skills and talent, HVW8 got Red into Computer Jay’s Echo Park studio for a couple recording sessions before he was prematurely incarcerated on a parole violation. Only able to record one complete take in the studio, and after his re-arrest, HVW8’s Tyler Gibney and Addison Liu reached out to CHOPS and Dam-Funk to apply their world class talents…
This release not only represents a ‘second chance’ for Red, but also a voice for the marginalized aspects of US society. Proceeds of this album will go to Red with the intention of getting him off the street and ending the vicious cycle of the California prison system, with the hope of a better tomorrow. This is a real- life rags to (hopefully) riches story in the making. Not bad for a guy hanging in the parking lot trying to get a break.”

Is that Skitzo doing the hook and not the homeless dude Red? Def sounds like him..
August 28th, 2010 at 1:27 pm
yes, they had him sing it over…until they find Red
August 29th, 2010 at 3:56 am
yo it is bling bling from bum fights..my man just put me on t o his shit and i gotta say its hard to duplicate that voice…hope niggas find him soon cuz he could be the next natedogg/akon/tpain and put them niggas outta business
August 29th, 2010 at 6:08 am
haha. THAT comment read with a thick new york accent…
August 30th, 2010 at 3:49 pm
where he at.,. .>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWDOhSONyaI

Whats really fucked up is that Stones Throw was using Reds voice and not paying him, at least from what I understand, so if they want to play the high and mighty card now, they really fucking fail. I really do hope that stability will come about for Red, because homelessness awareness is nil, and we need to really be more than informed, that way we can help those whom really do need it most, not many of us, with our insecurity complexes, buying cars, kicks, phones, pcs, etc. when we cannot even afford the things we covet so much…
September 2nd, 2010 at 2:32 am
Cam’s flow seemed like the only thing that sucked with the track to be honest with you. And i i i i aint playin. lol
September 2nd, 2010 at 2:44 am
By the way, yall do know RED is dead right?
September 2nd, 2010 at 12:49 pm
HWAT? seriously?
