    Kinda weird not seeing killa act arrogant

  2. el jim chapo guzman says:

    Killa biggest mistake was when he denied jay z oh boy remixed.

    1. bcl187 says:

      No that’s what made him a real nigga!

      1. el jim chapo guzman says:

        Lol you a real nigga cause you denied success lollol.

    2. KILLA says:

      I disagree nevermind that I’m a fan of Cam’ron and that my name is KILLA. Oh Boy was it’s own monster and was gonna be what it was regardless of Jay-Z getting on the remix. We forget that while Jay-Z was a big artist back then he was not on the level he is today, the playing field was somewhat leveled back then. So his impact wouldn’t have be so crazy to take Cam’ron Oh Boy that was the most played song from Def Jam until Rihanna Umbrella beat it out to a higher level then what success Killa garnered already.

      1. el jim chapo guzman says:

        I agree’ but musically jay z was the hottest mc out. Flea was just getting his feet wet. So why go to war when your money ain’t right…Jay z was smarter than all them niggas including dame dash…see what happened to them niggas career after jay z sold rockafella….

      2. Dame Damn says:

        Oh Boy was only as big of a hit because it was released on Rocafella. Not to say that it wasn’t a great song, but it wouldn’t have hit the charts as well as it did if it weren’t for Jay Z – whether or not he actually appeared on the song or not.

  3. yorapper says:

    If you told me this interview was from some unknown rapper from NY right now I wouldn’t even question it.

  4. LP1087 says:

    No ” But at the end of the day”, Ha !!!!!!, Cam should copyright that

  6. Dafuq says:

    I like these throwback videos.

    Cam has cemented his place in hip hop history.

  7. cam wanted to go..one more question..damn lol…i like that how UN just sign dude on the strength of biggie saying do it.

  8. JetVet718 says:

    I say this all the time, Cam’ron is a certified Hip Hop Legend. I actually believe he coulda went to the league.

    btw that interviewer is terrible.

  9. Snupeyaintadog says:

    Look at cam in this video and look at him now. He still looks the same and worse, he acts the same. NO GROWTH!!! There is nothing about this nigga that hints at being a HIPHOP Legend. Nothing…
