The Dust King
A Childrens Story
cam repaired his cultural standing.
signaled by cam, rebelling against the jiggy cadre of wackiness that helped create the profitability and draw.
that he gravitated towards to get signed with mase/un/puff/jay.
finally closing out his attention to cultural responsibility administratively as a label owner.
originally, his signing and cof debut.
was viewed as an extreme departure of the ditc/finesse/big L/eight is enough family tree culturally.
after mase, also abandoned said roots and his original delivery with coc.
both dumbed down, vocally as talents.
plus, their perception were dulled long term at the time.
to the point,..
in this community and culturally cam was a laughing stock.
not to mention,..
I was never a supporter of his during this era at all.
as it is well documented when became a supporter of cam'ron on rocafella with the pr of jay's coup attempt.
then, later his release of purple haze and his comeuppance of skill vocally, and as a more solid technical marvel.
closer akin, to the development he should have featured originally.
being an offshoot of ditc/finesse/big L/eight is enough crew.
also,..
before cam returned back from the darkside culturally.
he was loathed in this community.
which was signaled by the dipset spam movement.
which, originally amplified the apathy towards cam and his jiggy allegiances.
cam, was not always an accepted figure for his choices, culturally.
seeing as his pedigree comes from the family tree of ditc/finesse/big L.
also, speaking of ditc.
ditc, also soul't out.
on their group lp, and diamond d's second album ode to jiggy-ism.
after his success as a producer on the fugee's the score lp.
that was a departure from stunts, blunts and hiphop.
of, which fatjoe was part of the collective.
on top of being the management/mastermind behind pun.
where, pun, was on the slippery slope.
here and there,...
that after pun's death, was evident by fatjoe completely selling all the way out.
when, he made jose ii, and was jumping in swimming pools in powder blue fur coats in 2001-2002.
coupled with fatjoe's nas biting during the mid nineties.
that even common called him out on, as his labelmate 1995.
I know this culture, breh.
learn your history and the past of the rap industry.
stop letting culture thieves get away with destroying your culture.
if you were an indian,.....
whom, never received reparations.
by you ignoring the actual facts.
you would gladly accept that smallpox gift package of blanketing.
if you accept what people in the industry.
have allowed and done to the culture through business and the publically traded prison industry complex.
art barr
if I were an indian then we belong to two different tribes.
the fact you said that cam repaired his standings since he sold out proves you have too much invested in him personally, forget as an artist.
cam is a good rapper but he did no such thing and has been on a decline since his debut at rocafella.
this can be proved by searching for cams conceptual records. the gap of time that exsists between "my hood" and "I hate my job" or "I.b.s." is something like 5 or 6 years
now you love mentioning the other parts of the culture, the parts that cam has artistically ignored.
since nas sold out on his sophmorre release he always kept the aspects of the culture alive.
this guy is bringing legends out at live shows, releasing singles with doug e fresh beatboxing (something camron should've BEEN did) and he has rocksteady crew performing with him.
then he has videos (with other featured legends like KRS) which pay homage to graf.
on top of which nas has been his own draw to the recently deceased 5 pointz.
then we have the rock the bells festival, something which ya boy cam attended two years ago.
that truly shows how humbled cam is now and how you need to change your outlook immediately since his draw is now relying on nas to stay relevant.
I respect 99% of shyt u say but nobodys perfect and your stanism for camron has reared its head for the last time when debating me.
