Cam’ron sounds off on Jim Jones on “It Is What It Is”

[BEN23]

First rapper Futur mentioned as one of his influences he grew up listening to was E-40,not no damn Max B


How long will we do this dance where y'all downplay 40s impact in the south

Y'all keep telling me about the Dips popularity. But did they even sell more than The Click as a group? Did Cameron at his peak with aaaalll these hits sell more records than 40 lol? I gave them their props,they had a cult following nationwide(with help from Rocafella cosign). But the internet fandom is creating a gross over exaggeration of what the Dips were. Cult following doesn't speak to the general consensus. "Some nikkas in the south listened to Dipset and Rocafella" is a more accurate statement than "Dips was popping in the south" imo. We not allowing Dipset fans to try to prop up Cam retroactively. They want Cam to be a peer to Nas and Jay bad,he absolutely was not. He was waaaay closer to Jim Jones than he was to Mase even,let's not lose sight of that folks.

his company emblem is the dipset logo...he asked cam to use it

 

[Lord-Yosh]

as expected cam told the story one way

This make Jim look like the real street nikka n cam just the boss like we all thought except Cam n his groupies

 

[Still Benefited]

He's a Dipset fan,so he knows who Max B is. Your only proving my point. Either way Cam nor Max B made the list this time

LIES

The Click went gold,the Diplomats album went gold. E-40 went platinum,Cameron went platinum, In the sales boost era with a Rocafella/Jay-Z stimulus

The metrics don't back up that the Dips was "popping" in every region of the nation,the streets,plus had the internet on smash.


If they were on it like that,they would've sold more records. Y'all forgetting alot of people saw them as a joke with the pink,and the goonie goo goo bars etc. it was low-key a children's movement. Nothing wrong with that,but let's keep it in proper perspective.

Future came around the time max was coming up. Ofcourse he won’t be his biggest influence lol

 

[Peter Parker]

This make Jim look like the real street nikka n cam just the boss like we all thought except Cam n his groupies

I mean I’m sure cam isn’t lying about his days selling drugs but I don’t think anyone ever thought Cam was super thug or anything like that, I don’t remember him ever having that reputation

 

[Lord-Yosh]

But that ain't the bmf story cam told and Bleu's sound way more believable especially because it matches with Jim's.

 

[Peter Parker]

I think some of y'all think Dipset reached G-Unit heights sometimes. This is revisionist history. They were maybe as big as E40 and the Click who alot of y'all didn't know until the past decade. So let's not confuse internet soldiers and fandom with the streets. They had the internet on lock,but internet wasn't as prevalent as it was today in peoples lives.

Granted I was in New York but dipset was kind of a big deal for sure

Lmfaooooo that’s by Howard I walk that way going to work

Dipset had everyone in Cali wearing pink. I seen this with my own eyes. NorCal and SoCal. Just like "Air Force Ones" had everybody mobbed up in the footlocker. Cali went from selling them for 60 to 100 a pair.

 

[maxamusa]

Guess this what jones was talking about when he tried to coin the phrase "frenemies"

 

[maxamusa]

Damn......smh

Not like this my nikkas....not like this

Yea highkey its sad as fan.....


cam really had a lot of tracks that made him seem like him and Jim were like brothers.....


"we gettin out of 5H (WE OUT THAT P.O.S)"




I've quoted these cam bars a couple times; but he really live by this. Clearly.



word life, we all brethren

but we all speak and nobody budgin

cuz we all stubborn


Yeah, we let the hate rise

Give each other fake fives

Look back peripheral give each other snake eyes

True in all sequels (true)

You too of all people

guess they right money is the root of all people

a nikka front on them though I triggered at em'

I don't know Big it's just the type of nikka I am

 

[maxamusa]

This doesn't contradict what Cam said. Those nikkas are clearly grown in that pic. And we already knew Jim was with them during Confessions of Fire.

Jim Jones the new Prodigy of mobb deep.
