The reason why Juelz and Cam stopped speaking for years during that time, was because he said Cam wasn't letting him "go get money". Def Jam didn't own his rights until 2008. He went to Cam for the release years before that in '06, after he and Wayne recorded whatever they had for that album.
That's why he was doing all those interviews saying he couldn't drop the album until he got out of his deal. Def Jam was only distributing his first two albums. They didn't have say over his rights, at that point. After '08, they did. But as we saw, he never did anything again. Cam had the power to just let him go, but both of them said he decided not to, until he got whatever he thought Santana was worth. Cam said before that he invested in dude, so he wasn't letting him go "for nothing". Def Jam came up with the number, and he sold his contract.
But this was a couple years after Juelz was blocked from doing other sh*t. Which is what he was complaining about during that time. He didn't want to be held back until Cam was able to get a check for him.
Breh.
.i can't believe this.
As juelz santana had everything bigger than cam sir.
A bigger house..
Badder chick
More jewels.
More assets shown live in our face online than cam.
Juelz jagged't it breh.
Juelz from his public score card jagged't it breh.
Plus never improved and we know this.from reel to reel and just seeing it.
Not to mention talks of being immature.
when it comes to making actual music.
I know emcee and i also know rappers and levels they are at. Juelz was just a kid.
enamored by what rap offered but does not want. Nor care to really be an emcee. In a camp.
That is all about emcee'n.
From the pedigree of big l to lord finesse.
Which is why juelz failed.
Juelz jagged't it breh.
Juelz had a whole generation of fans. Juelz could have raised just like chris brown. With actual emcee credibility.
if julez applied himself.
In a crew that worldly talented.
If juelz applied himself. Even now to be the best legacy member in dipset. Similar to lloyd banks in gunit post gunit. Juelz could take things.
still to a level higher than any dipset member. plus way higher potentially than banks on paper.
Yet we hear nuffin.
I can't stand jim and juelz for leaving their commander. Then mutinously being sea scoundrels after cam put them on. When neither knew the business.
or had a care for hiphop.
or for being emcees.
on the level of being diplomats.
Cam..
a better friend than me.
That is what i can say.
