Yeah, I was surprised at how little Cam'ron knew about music especially for his age. I binge watched some Nardwuar interviews with Drake, GFK, Nas, etc. They really knew the history behind their regions hip hop scenes and the artists they sampled.

"old school cat, only listen to spoonie gee"

cam was saying he doesnt know him personally, not that he doesn't know him


he said he knows his name but cant name any of his songs.

well, he was born in '76, and it seems like his knowledge really spans from like '86 on out - with rap at least. that's not bad, but I thought he was a historian.

and yea its funny watching 50-somethings prop up Camron for knowing music and knowing how to flip it.

come to find out, he doesn't pick the samples, and prolly has nothing to do with how theyre flipped either.

but when nardwaur started mentioning the TV themes, cam was all on it.

He didn't mention the Facts of Life TV theme mixtape song he did.

I would have liked to hear his rationale on that one despite the obvious content.

Good interview.

............to add to this

I was watching the kay slay interview. Camron doesn't even know the names to a lot of those dipset songs that weren't put on official mixtapes.

a lot of that stuff gets posted on here semi-regularly still.

the guy cant even name his own records. LOL.

Cam isn't a student of hiphop. He just naturally knew how to rap but you can tell he just used it as a hustle. Doubt that nikka could even name one KRS album.

there are a lot of musicians, rappers, actors, entertainers etc who are just not that quick on the fly when discussing there own art especially in interviews.....
