They got Cam'ron on CNN talking about Diddy

[Yehuda]

Nowadays I be feeling like

seeing stuff like this.

 

[Diddly Drogba]

Cam

 

[Red Money]

I just don't get what the point of this appearance was.

Simple, To fish about Diddy character....and if they knew he was up to no good in general.

And if they knew something was off... why not address it etc. Trying to say it's a hip hop conspiracy and to see if Cam enabled stuff. Hence Cam character would be in question.


CNN set him up....and he responded according..

I thought Cam had matured when he started his new sports talk podcast. It was a mix between serious and jokes at the beginning and it was a very enjoyable balance.

But since season 2, he's been leaning too much on the fukkery side and I actually unsubbed from his channel a couple of months ago even though I really like it at the beginning smh.

Not surprised in the slightest by how he behaved in that interview.

Ah, so it blew up in their faces. Nothing to see here

But trust pearl clinchers to get their think pieces off

We don't know that for sure. And if they did... yeah they shouldn't have asked him, period. There is no unique angle Cam is going to provide on Diddy, domestic violence, Cassie, violence in hip-hop... That couldn't be provided better by someone more knowledgeable. Like a Michael Eric Dyson, or Marc Lamont Hill. Or even a rapper with more wits about him like J Cole or Naomi's ex or whoever

I'm not interested in criticizing Cam'ron where we are shooting the host/producers bail for booking him, or shooting Abby bail for asking dumb questions in the hope of getting a sound bite.

Cam’rom has been around forever. He’s from NY. He’s from Harlem. It’s not out of the realm to get his insight. fukk do we care about J Cole opinion for? If he didn’t want to talk about Diddy he shouldn’t have agreed. But we all know he wanted to troll, go viral, and promote his BS

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

That’s not being funny, that’s fukking up other people’s job because you need attention. I’ve seen Cam be serious, at some point you gotta stop fukking over other people. That didn’t make just make CNN look bad, it made her look bad, someone who likely doesn’t control the guest booking, that’s messed up.
Most people learn there’s and time and place for everything

You have to realize we got mf’s in here defending a nikka who has that 60 Minutes interview on his résumé. That’s damn near 18 years ago and dude hasn’t matured one bit.

 

[mag357]

There was plenty of outrage about them parading cardi and Glorilla as representation and opinions from “black” women…but a lot of y’all selectively ignore when people call it out, especially if it’s mostly black women feeing jilted for having their ignorant asses speak for us

Matter of fact, I'm the worse person to have said that. Cause I don't be knowing whats going on half the time.
So it may have been outrage.

But basically it shouldn't be outrage toward the artist at all. We should look at the people booking them to speak on these topics for blame.
So no one should be mad at cam, cardi, glo, etc.

And there's a difference between cam playing dumb because he really doesn't want to speak on the subject and them hoez actually being dumb, can we agree

So called “new media” has been killing Puffy for years. CNN jumped on after finally getting something major on Diddy. Art of dialogue and Vlad have done way worse than this chick on CNN… and they were doing it before Cassie came out.

 

[Legal]

Don’t matter who it’s on, he fukked up her show. And it’s definitely on Cam, not sure how y’all keep acting like he has no responsibility to see what CNN wants to interview him about, it’s certainly not his opinion on Gaza or the death of the Iranian president. Just say no instead of being an attention seeking cornball

Both sides can be at fault. They were reaching with trying to get Cam to come on and comment about someone he doesn't have a close personal or working relationship with, and the line of questioning wasn't all that productive either, as it was leaning into saying that a large portion of the hip hop community was at least passively responsible for what happened.

But by the same token, Cam could've easily just declined the invitation, offered to connect them with Mase, since it seemed like that's what they were REALLY looking for, or answered the questions in a fashion that got across his point that while he disapproves of what happened in the video, he doesn't know anyone involved enough to make sweeping statements about how this could've been allowed to happen.

This was just a badly booked segment with a bad guest that ended in bad TV that's funny, but probably not entirely in the way that Can thinks it is.

i don’t know if he was in cnn for other reasons as i didn’t see the whole clip but why go up there to get defensive and say nothing.

I’d have just said it’s not my business and I’m i can’t speak on it

 

[Conan]

1. How do any of your first 3 sentences equate to: it's not out of the realm to get his insight? You realize that him being around forever and from Harlem makes him as unique as at least 300k people, right?
2. Get his insight on what?

Fukk do we care about J Cole opinion for? If he didn’t want to talk about Diddy he shouldn’t have agreed.

Ah, so you don't care in any insightful talk from a rapper with some sense (like J Cole) about the Diddy situation... you just wanted some tea on another man... from Cameron fukking Giles

But we all know he wanted to troll, go viral, and promote his BS

This went the way it was supposed to, and instead of observing, laughing and moving on, we 5 pages deep about how this shouldn't have happened because Cam is 50

[Conan]

She did a shytty job.

She failed by

Not rejecting the interview off rip
Not knowing your interviewee
Not understanding what perspective he could bring to the table on this issue (none)
Not pre-vetting or warming him up prior (no Diddy)
Asking him stupid questions
Looking for the soundbite
Not pivoting from stupid questions to more relevant questions

Again, she'll be fine, it happens. No need to shoot her bail on this one though. She had so many avenues to do her job better.

 

[AMcV'88]

so many native New Yorkers no matter the race or ethnicity pick an age and stay that age for the rest of their lives. they never grow up for real.

Cam gives these big media conglomerates his ass to kiss every time. do your research and don't book him.
he gets serious when he wants to with who he thinks should have it



he doesn't care and these things don't effect him. he'll go on about his day while people get riled up

I didn't find it entertaining but if he annoyed certain people, like the ones who turned Kendrick's Not Like Us corny very quickly and the losers in that Budden podcast community on twitter then shout out to Killa
