I mean, Tru Life used to be their muscle, there's really nothing Cam could do. When the Junior Mafia chased them out the Rucker, Jones called JoJo Capone who called Tru Life to handle that for them.
Not everyone, he had friends (Maino, Saigon is his best friend), but he was wild and the Ghetto Inmates, his crew, are crazy. Puerto Ricans in NY run like 300 deep shyt and all them nikkas cousins and shyt.

Tru was a real goon though, half the shyt he did to nikkas y'all ain't even hear about.
@FreshAIG dropping lots of knowledge in this thread...

He woulda turned Tru Life to taco meat

Mel Murda from the last part of BK thats still not safe

But Jimmy's not a boss anyway. Every chance he got to boss up, he blew it. Thats prob why Mel stopped fukkin with him

Mel Murda vs Tru Life would be :damn:

Ate cereal with cristal after opening a safe full of gobs of racks.

I spent a memorable evening bar hopping around LES with his capos. Best night ever. We ended up in a hookah bar, blow on tap sans any of Tru's minions, drinking for free, as long as we wanted.


Tru was the real give respect to get respect goon.

I always wondered does Jones HAVE to fukk with the Bed Stuy nikkas? What about Snaggs and them Patterson goonies? Either way. What is interesting is that he doesn't have a Harlem crew like that.

Jones doesn't get respect in Harlem or the Bronx (Where he's really from). Mandecee got that nikka jumped, he was running scared of Gangsta Lou for years too. Mel's goons hold him down. I'm not saying Jones is p*ssy, because he's definitely not, but he's not no big tough guy by himself either. There's very few rappers that will get it poppin without an entourage backing them in a real situation though, so it is what it is.

They definitely have Harlem nikkas under them, but those nikkas that run with them from Harlem aren't respected like that. Everyone in Dipset is Blood except for Cam basically. Jim turned it into some gang banging shyt, Cam was using it as a rap thing. Most are 9 Tre BBA (Jones, Juelz, Mel Murda), Rell is Mac Baller Brim (But he might've gotten thrown off the set).

Cam is a rapper, he hustled but he wasn't no mover in Harlem but he's been around those type of cats but most times you see Cam, even back in the day, he was dolo. Now he's always dolo/with Juju. He never kept no crazy entourage. That mostly came from Jones. Jimmy, Fat Shawn and Zeek used to hold Cam'ron down, until the money started coming in, then the movement started getting bigger and they started adding more street nikkas to the payroll. They made being Blood seem cool to little kids, which I never liked.
