Cam’ron recently stopped by DJ Whoo Kid’s Whoolywood Shuffle where he discussed a slew of topics including Jay Z being charged in the early 2000s for stabbing Lance ‘Un’ Rivera.
The Dipset general revealed the reason why Jay Z resulted to violence to Whoo Kid. “This was all over Charli Baltimore,” Cam said. “I’m not going to get into the details of what happened and why, but it’s just a lot of where Jay liked Charli at one time and that was Biggie’s girl. Un felt that that was the artist and Jay was teaching her the business. Un and Jay sh**, they can say a song leaked or whatever but it was all over Charli Baltimore.”
Past reports revealed that Jay Z attacked Un over him leaking records from his album Vol. 3…Life and Times of S.Carter. This isn’t the first time Cam’ron has said otherwise. In his 2006 Jay Z diss “You Gotta Love It,” he raps “I’m sorry B, but I want a war, and he stabbed Un over Charli Baltimore” while throwing numerous shots at his former Roc-A-Fella label mate. Even though Killa had close ties with Un at the time, he told Whoo Kid that he wasn’t involved in the beef. Cam’ron and Jay Z have never publicly squashed their own beef.
The “Oh Boy” rapper also dished on little known facts about Kanye West’s beat for “Izzo.” He revealed, “I was mad at Kanye in the beginning because [he] was just shopping beats. I was on Epic still and he sold a beat to me. And then the beat he sold, he gave it to Hov,” said Cam. Kanye gave me the ‘H to the Izzo’ beat. That was my beat. Then I heard it on the radio two weeks later.” When Cam’ron finally signed to Roc-A-Fella, he started working with Kanye and viewed the beat situation as “water under the bridge.”
He also references the story Kanye tells on his “Last Call” track from “The College Dropout” about him rapping for him and Jay Z. “I remember clear as day what he’s talking about. And Jay was just really ignoring this n***a. There was like 2-way pagers back then and Jay was just looking at it. And [Kanye’s] rapping his heart out to Jay and I’m listening,” he said. At that point, Cam’ron realized Kanye West could rap and said Dame Dash was the main person behind putting out The College Dropout with little support from Jay Z.
