Cam might’ve started as a c-lister. He might be a c-lister again now. But in between he had a run LiAngelo Ball (and a lot of people’s favorite rappers) could never dream of.

Crazy how many people forget how big Dipset was at one point. How big Cam was when he first got to Rocafella. Don’t let that Versuz L they took re-write their place in history.
Dipset (Jim Jones) made all the blood imagery “cool” too

Lol only a Hip Hop fan would say a platinum album and 2 golds is easy to get 😭
Where was this stated?

This is too far. Most rappers to get in a booth? Sure.

A lot of people's favorite rappers? Eh...

At first their show was entertaining, but then it became repetitive. It's two middle aged men trying to live their 2nd childhood talking ignorant shyt, trying to go viral. There's a whole bunch of barbershop sports talk media already. Cam is alright, as Dipset was one of the last great things that came out from NY, but Mase is just annoying. Overrated rapper/overrated pastor/overrated media personality. I remember when Mase ran away from Hip Hop, so many rappers were clowning on him in their songs. Nothing but a joke.

No its not

Thats not how this work.

And if it did he sold way more than 12 million

Why am i entertaining this dumb ass shyt lol
That's exactly how it works :russ: . This is how producers sell their name. They will say,m "I sold _____ million records" just having a beat on particular albums. How old are you? This isn't new lol. I personally don't agree with the format of it, but it's been going on for decades.

Nah this some cornball shyt. Coz imagine if Jay-Z came out using this criteria tawmbout he sold 600M. Y'all know you would clown that nikka to bolivian
it is, but people have been doing this for years. You seriously don't remember people saying "the Neptunes have sold over 40 million records"? I know you guys are new to this streaming shyt, but when physical sales were a thing, this is what producers used to do to capitalize off their name. Having one beat on several platinum albums, they would take part in sales for the entire album. Scott Storch continued to make millions off that business model in the early to mid 2000s. I personally think it's bullshyt, but it's a selling point like the term "grammy nominated".

Yeah it's like the new season of Silo. The trailer has Academy Award Winner Common. Its cheeky because it makes you think he's won an Oscar for his acting if you never knew about his music/rap career.

And when someone wins a grammy, everyone in the credits gets a grammy too if the sample is cleared. When Kanye won for "Good life", Quincy Jones and James Ingram got a grammy too since they wrote "pyt". It's a slippery slope and as an artists, you can twist words and make things work for you. We all know Camron aint sold no fukking 12 million albums and he knows it, but he's going by the old industry standard that fans of the streaming era don't remember.

Fake logic, adding everything you ever did up to twelve million and going platinum 12 times are two different things
