NYC natives and hip-hop fans alike know that Dipset held down Harlem for the better half of the decade. But 3 or 4 years ago, the band-of-brothers known as "Dipset" disbanded-- with the head-honcho (Cam'ron) going his own way... There has been many-a-rumor about the nature of the beef and what went down-- but no one can deny there has been a rift. Last year, Cam finally release Juelz Santana from his contract, and now Juelz is free to work with Jim and people like Lil' Wayne all he wants. MTV News got the exclusive on the rare interaction between Jim and Cam... Check it:
"Hell Rell and J.R. Writer, they always check in," Cam said. "Everybody has been reaching out. I've been the one kinda saying Cam is going to take time do Cam. But Hell Rell and J.R. definitely been reaching out. I called [Freekey Zekey's] phone four or five days ago and Jim picked up Zeke's phone. Me and him spoke for about 10 or 15 minutes, but me and Zeek speak all the time. I haven't spoken to Juelz."
Cam described the phone call with Jones as pleasant.
"It was cordial. He knew it was me," Cam said of Jones. "He said we was gonna holla — maybe we'll put something together. But in the immediate future, I'm just doing Cam. But you never know what can happen down the line. I called Zeke's phone and I guess Zeke gave Jim the phone to pick up. We just talked, asked about each other's family. He said he's on a promo tour. He'd be back soon. That was that."
Well there you have it. Cam is working on his up-coming LP: Crime Pays, and he is trying to secure a spot on the infamous Hot 97 Summer Jam stage this year. He is open to working with the Diplomats again-- so that's progress. Harlem? You might wanna stand up right about now.... Yep!
CAM- HOT 97 SUMMERJAM..
