Settle this debate for me. Was Cam'ron ever a superstar?

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Topic came up on Twitter. I got cats who weren't in NYC or from here telling me no.

I argue yes. '01-'04 Cam was a superstar. Sales wise, he went plat on CHWM, plat on DI 1, and gold on PH, but his impact on the culture was undeniable.

Yes he was I remember being out to dinner with some girls at his height of fame and I was making fun of his pink fascination calling him gay and out of nowhere a white girl goes I'd let Cam put it in my ass... Room went silent. I got the point. Like

Most of the dipset stans on hamster aka the movement were White Canadians fact! Cam was huge here... Same level as 50 or Wayne.

How am I trolling...Cam was a star.

Wu-Tang Clan are international icons... That's how you're trolling. Either you dont get out too much or you're trolling

 

[TrifeGod]

I'm from Ohio though...I'm telling you those cats weren't as popular as you think group wise....

Steubenville

Nope. He was never a crossover/Top 40 artist. To be a superstar you gotta have those crossover hits. Cam only has one (Oh Boy) the true superstars in the rap game have serveral.

/thread

if you knew hiphop you knew Cam, people who dont know hiphop probably know him as that "Oh Boy" guy and maybe that guy that was on Mariah's song or that guy who was rude on the phone with 50 Cent. It stops there tho.

Yeah they are international icons...Still doesn't mean cats were really listening to them...Their international more so because others were listening to them asians for example.

That's what I'm getting at. Cats knew dipset...But wasn't nobody bumping no Wu-Tang and I'm from Bond Hill and Winton Terrace and I'm telling you not one of my partners ever bumped no Wu...But these dudes ain't trying to hear me.

Note: I was talking about no one was listening to Wu-Tang in my area.

What if I told you I can't stand WU-Tang group albums and the only members I like were Ghostface, Rakwon, Method man and that I didn't hear any one playing WU Tang until I was grown and it was a white dude playing it?

Than i would tell you that you're a clown and you tried to throw that white boy sh!t in there to get a few daps from the resident Wu haters. Negged b!tch.

But looks whose in the crowd. Don't be mad because alot of brehs ain't feeling Wu-Tang...Keep that stuff over there. Ya'll like it thats cool. But that doesn't mean everybody does.

 

[AlldayNE]

But looks whose in the crowd.

So? White people support hip hop more than black people do, it'd be the same thing for your favorite artist that's mainstream.

Wonder why they hate Wu? Oh they probally don't listen to the crap. Name some of their cuts.

Had to neg those two f@ggots @KF. and @NatiboyB and @Lewis Black (hate it had to be you) for the trolling. at this unimaginative clown Nati quick to bring up the whiteboy and asian cliche because he couldn't formulate an argument that Wu aren't/were superstars...which they were. Saying they weren't/are is just you exposing yourself as a misinformed crack baby or troll. Either or. Or both.
