I've said it before, secretly one of Camron's biggest influences is Kool Keith.
Kool Keith had the bugged out sense of humor, the ever changing aliases/nicknames, the raps about being mentally unstable, THE CAPE, the inventive rhyme patterns, the random projects with terrible beats, he constantly promoted unfinished projects, etc.
Kool Keith was also the frontman of a well known crew, but then would just venture off and do his own thing as if they didn't exist.
Kool Keith also had the wild urine & excrement obsession.
Not like I'm dissing or anything though, they are both in my All-time top 20.
