When I heard Q-Tip say he was still sleeping in his mom's living room after The Low End Theory sold 1,500,000. :wow:

Tribe made around 30k each off that album. If you know the cost of living in NY then you know 30k isn't shyt.

Cam was broke before the Roc deal because Untertainment folded and he got absorbed into a machine that didn't give a fukk about him until Dame ran up in the Sony building barking on people for him. I think that's when Cam realized that he had to diversify his business.

Facts Cam was still selling crack and playing pick up games to make ends meet

That’s when Luca Brazi and a bunch of Bloods ran into Sony trying to get Cam released from his deal

if you read Gucci Mane's book. When Gucci had a hit and went to NY he was introduced to Cam'ron. Cam was driving a Toyota Camry that he told Gucci he got it for his mother. Gucci said Cam looked mad regular.

Seriously, that book might be one of my favorite reads of this year. That shyt is really entertaining!
