Right on the heels of last month’s Jim Jones and Juelz Santana coverstory on XXL…..Cam talks to the homie Vanessa Satten in the April issue due out in a few weeks. Here’s XXL’s preview:
The cover story features Cam finally speaking on his enigmatic hiatus, Diplomats ownership, being an alleged “paper gangster” and the root of his rifts with Jim Jones and Juelz Santana, among other things. While Dipset loyalists seemingly can’t get over Dipset being a Cam-less crew, Killa appears to have moved on. “…So I understand what the fans are saying,” Cam told XXL Executive Editor Vanessa Satten, who penned the cover story. “And it’s kinda messed up. But what you gotta realize is that things can always be fixed behind the scenes. But once a problem gets public, it’s kind of unfixable.”
Per Cam, Jones suggesting to cook up a publicity stunt and his feud with 50 Cent largely contributed to the crew’s internal feud being “unfixable.”
“The two things that you could say it was is: The come to my house and try to start a fake beef between me and [Jim],” Cam explained. “And the kinda like siding with 50 when me and him is in the dead middle of beefing or whatever.”

OMG.
This is MAD! INSANE!
So let me get it straight.
They wanted to start controversy.. saying Jim siding with 50 and it ended up being real?

Does anyone find it funny that Cam suddenly rises from the dead in the midst of a battle involving 50, the person who laid his career to rest in the first place?
If this aint the illest coincidence, i dont know what is….

February 3rd, 2009 at 5:24 pm
I’ve had a minute to compose myself and … basically I think I get what he’s saying. The beef was for 2 reasons… them siding with 50. And Jim wanting to start a fake beef? Am I right?
Cant help but wonder if this isnt all just a scam, not the actual beefing itself, the comeback. Kind of a bit too coincidental that the “diplomats” appear on the cover and Cam comes back the month after?

#5 Yeah, 50 really laid Cam’s career to rest. Cam didn’t have everyone saying Currtiss, Cam doesn’t have every hip hop website going nuts at every new sighting of him, and Cam isn’t on the cover of XXL. SMH. you g-unit stans need therapy.

I don’t understand how grown men can get money & hustle together, laughed, party, & prolly cry together(or experienced hard times together) can not talk it out amongst each other. I’m not saying they have to reconcile their differences but talking about the problems with everybody but the one you have a problem with is immature. Thats like a kid having a problem with another kid in high school, and instead of approaching the dude he go to the principal office and makes an announcement over the intercom.

#17 im not claimin’ to be a major fan of Cam nor 50. Im a real hip hop head and im just being real. B4 the beef wit 50, Cam was in everyone’s top 10, Dip Set ran NY (probably East Coast for that matter) and his name rang bells to the West Coast. After the beef, you’d hear a mediocre track every now and again, Dip Set reorganized and lost their ranks, and glimpses of Cam in unflattering locations and talking recklessly occurred more than necessary.
While at the same time, 50 managed to make moves and was officially titled the 2nd richest African American entertainer by Forbes while remaining a true heavy influence in the game and spreading his empire (Vitamin Water, Hollywood, Video Games, Publishing, etc). As much as I think his last album was his weakest ever… you gotta respect the man’s hustle and swag.

It seems like Cam took the high road & chose to step away from Jim & Juelz. Recently, both Jim & Juelz have been showing Cam alot of respect in interviews. They’re angling to get that the Diplomat Immunity 3 moving, but at this point, I don’t even know if I want to see that happen if it’s not genuine.

Honestly, I want to hear his side of the story. It would of been a good look if Dipset stayed together for because they would of made more money. And it would of been a great look for NEW YORK.
But this was bound to happen. I was hearing about them beefing since 2005 ,from real souces. So this should get entertaining …
Reply
February 3rd, 2009 at 7:13 pm
This is the way the game goes. You pay your dues and Cam had done that. He worked his way into that position to get the money in the first place. Then he made Jim, Juelez, and the rest of Dipset hot. Those guys are suppose to repay him the way he did them. That’s where he made most of his rap money. That is how Jim and Juelz were suppose to do it. They have to make someone from their crew blow in order to make money. They can’t do it and now they are starting to freak and say Cam screwed us. You guys are suppose to let Cam take a share of his money from your sells. You need to do that with your people now and you can’t. That just has to suck but, truthfully I am rooting for you but I do like Cam better.

You can tell from the interview cam in his heart wants to reconcile with Jimmy and Juelz But the Public won’t let him Forget about it. People forget they were as close to Brother without being Blood Related You just cant let that Go. As far as 50 Lyrically 50 is outmatched in Every Battle He goes into so he resorts to shit talking and E-Thuggin B-sides kanye/wayne/Diddy who’s on the Internet more then Fif.

Kris you are right number 40. If anyone ruined camrons career it was Jim and Juelz out of bitterness. Not 50cent. Camrons diss was way better and everyone knows it. But 50cent gets to front about it. But real recognize real my dude…
Reply
February 3rd, 2009 at 9:25 pm
number 38. Camron is very rich. What are you talkin about. He isnt jayz or 50cent rich, but if you would believe that Jim or Juelz have money please believe camron has double that. Camron got money. Why do people think hes broke? Could he afford to leave for two years if he was broke? lol
The FUNKKKKKKK Over and OUT!

cam was winning the beef between 50
curtisssss>>>anything 50 did, thought of doing, should have done
i’d love a dipset reunion but damn, i dunno
pray IV reign seems to be pretty good[going off of the leaked tracks]
if crime pays and juelz’s solo effort are just as good or better
a DI3 with the diplomats intact could be borderline classic in terms of impact
but, i’m just wishing outloud

I will NEVER in my life be able to understand how a blogger can fix there fingers to type and call someone like camron “broke” when he drives $200,000 cars and has SOME pool at his home. Im sure that person typing talking crazy does not at all have a pool at there house, probably lives with there MOM but they have the nerve to call a multimillionaire broke.lol It makes no sense. Thats how delusional some of these hating bloggers are. They so wrapped up in what hating blogs say they have lost sight of the truth. How can someone who signs multi-million dollar deals be broke compared to THEM! A “BLOGGER”…LOL Smh Come out the clouds! Just land…Its a clear day! lol

My nigga Amer works at home depot and has a nicer pool…that’s all besides the point anyways, cam is shouting out CURTIS who has a goddamn LAKE in his backyard…so relative to that, yeah cam is a broke-ass moron who shouldnt even bring up the topic of money if he’s trying to diss 50…by the way, cam hasnt sold records in YEARS, u think he’s so smart he had enough savings to keep up his lavish life forever without selling new music? Nope, look at gary coleman working as a mall security guard and think about what you just said.
