Bow Out.
Rappers never retire—or do they? Cam took to his Twitter account yesterday to reveal that his next album Purple Haze 2, will be last. In a short chat with Miss Info, Killa briefly explains why he’s hanging it up.
Info: Are you really going to retire from rap?
Cam: Yeah. It’s a wrap. Time to move on.
*pours out a little sizzurp*
Info: Well, you made yourself a legend, and the music will last forever. So what will you focus on next?
Cam: Thanks, Min. Movies and clothing are doing really well for me right now. I’m helping Mendeecees [Yandy’s husband fromLove and Hip Hop NY] with his album. And…I’m building a club in Vegas.
What will the rap game do now…
exactly, nigga been retired
good riddance
LOL!
fuck you, at least cam knows when its time to check out, plus purple haze was a classic…
No one ever really quits in rap.
In the rap game, nobody quits.
NOBODY.
It’s a shame that rap music is so disposable these days, as rappers shouldn’t feel the need to feel “too old”
need that commercial branding. Cam is too gully.
Was he still rapping?
I liked pre 2007-08 Cam.
And if it is the last, final album by Cam’ron Giles, I say, thanks for Dipset and that whole NY movement in the early 2000’s.
I fucked with his 2010-2012 shit with Vado too but I agree, salute to Flea
2012’s boss of all bosses 3 was a classic
2004-2006 Cam was the best
Guy was a legend up until about Purple Haze.
Crazy. Purple Haze ranks up there w Cams whole projects IMO.
he’s retiring from retiring. His best album to me was “Come Home With Me”
go and listen to Crime pays….that shit bangs from top to bottom. “i used to get it in ohio” was crack in the flesh
Reading these comments, y’all are a bunch of losers mang….. Holy shit. Be happy for the man, he added to the culture and moving onto bigger things…. Movies, clothing and a club in Vegas? That shit is dope…. What have y’all added to the culture or society in general that is positive?? You fucking losers….
P.S I’m done with this site adios..
I guess its a good way to build up hype for yourself, but that’s about it.
Thanks for the memories Killa! Looking forward to hearing this finale.
Killa made a brilliant decision, cause the game is fucked up right now.
Cams influence on the game is undeniable….its highly unlikely that dude is just gonna stay away from the studio for life…but this means we’re not gonna hear a lot of cam at least for a while and that in itself is sad. Dipset was my life for a few years. Im talking from Cam all the way down to J.R Writer…i’m from boston and their whole movement had me felling like a harlem dude.
Same here. I’m from Memphis, and niggas that didnt know me swore I was from Harlem, from the slang to the clothes. Dipset forever.
Same here my g.
NY Dip Dip
NY set set
Dip-set, Dip-set, Dip-set!
Cams biggest mistake was making jay-z his enemy his career in hip hop was never the same after , sidebar helping mendecees with his album lol I can’t I’m done ❗️✌️
If camron retires from rap…then I retire from listening to rap…this tells u that Rap is dying out hard!!! Camrons my fave rapper of all time!
WELL IF THIS IS THE END AT LEASE HE WENT OUT ON HIS OWN TERMS SALUTE TO THE BOY CAM
THANK THE HEAVENS!!!! GARBAGE SINCE DAY ONE!!!! FUCK THIS WACK ASS NIGGA!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
He refused ya trash ass beats….u fkn hater…bamas like u die from cancer inside
LEAVE ME ALONE – LET ME JUS LIVE MY LIFE – JUS LEAVE ME ALONE – REMEMBER WHEN I SAW CAM & SANTANA @ THE AIRPORT & ALL 3 OF US HAD ON JERSEYS W/ MATCHIN HATS…LOL – IF U THINK CAM CAN STAY OUT THE STUDIO – U COMPUTERS NOT PYOOTIN – HES TOO CREATIVE TO NOT USE THE FORUM HE GOT – AND IF U DON’T THINK USERS ARE THE ONLY ABUSERS NIGGAS GETTIN HIGH WITHIN THE GAME…..HE’S ADDICTED W/ GOOD REASON – IMO
What happened to the Cam x A-Trak project?
Well when you don’t make any money anymore, what is the point. The artists are not making anything from tours, sales, merch, etc. It’s just not worth the time anymore. Even the big name people are not making much at the end of the day. The rap game is the most skewed business I have ever seen.
You have this incredible reach and demand and yet the people putting out the music don’t see any of the money except in rare cases (IE. Dr Dre) and that was not off music – it was off headphones and a brand.
It’s just not worth the time anymore unless you have a plan to use rap as a way to move into another business. That’s really the only way to see any real money anymore. The cost to tour is ridiculous and very few people even book anyone except for the pop acts. Look at Pete Rock’s tour schedule for 2015 – He has only 1 show booked so far for the year. Here is a guy who is a certified legend with huge records and production and he can’t even get shows booked.
The days of hip hop festivals is over. Why do you think Outkast and all these people are so reluctant to tour or do anything? Because the money sucks compared to the amount of work it takes.
I hope there is a day where artists see the money they are worth – especially rappers.
Even the big name people are not making much at the end of the day.

Not if your Eminem, Jay Z, Kanye.
Working on who’s album?
Yo Flea can you give Vado all that swag scampi back? Maybe light a fire under Juelz? The movies are cool tho, I wanna check those…how about finishing the fuckin First Of The Month movie god?
Cam retiring from rap is temporary like when Jay said he would retire and came back 2 years later with another album. Cam & Dipset made a huge impact on the game and have a few classics under their belt not to mention setting trends on how people should dress. I guess the Dipset reunion album is not gonna happen but like all great movements everything has to come to an end.
Lol Nobody Every retires from music. as soon as inspiration attacks you, youll be back
Purple Haze was definitely my favorite Cam album, it has some filler and shit, but as a whole, it still bangs, shit had some dope production. “Soap Opera” & “More Reasons” with Jaheim should’ve been singles…
Fans throw around the word classic way too much. You can love an album and bump that shit all day , but that dont make it a classic. Cam had dope songs a a few good albums but saying one of his albums classics waters down true classics,Doggystyle, The Chronic, Cuban Linx,
