I don't think anyone will ever top Cam'rons swag when he was on 106 and park with Mariah

[DaPresident]

Damn...remember that episode and performance. Cam was at an all time high for me, as I was in my sr year of hs and freshman/soph year of college (2002-2004). Man, being in NY at the time was great. Seeing the influence he had on my college campus was

There will NEVER be another nikka in hip hop (we losing that too lol) like Killa. The swag, charisma, the smart dumb hood nikka appeal...And the balls to pull it all off on top of all that just is gone from this generation. Harlem (no disrespect) ain't even doin it like that anymore. Hell, NY isn't the dangerzone it used to be and it hasn't bred those types of nikkas anymore. Damn shame. That NYC gruff (not my man McGruff lol) gritty hood nikka days is over man. Jones cutting his hair and Elz on that lean killed it man

Dig that...I left NYC in 08...haven't looked back since man.

I guess I haven't been deep in. I been up Harlem more times than I could count. The parts I saw were looking like how they did bk or queens...like damn, these some nice condos/apts but I didn't chill in Harlem enough I guess...

I stayed my but in Jamacia by the school...lots of Bk tho. Never quite made it to the island much lol

Queens had everything a young nikka needed especially Jamaica Ave

Cam has more "Nobody can match his swag" moments then anybody on earth. he might be the swaggiest to ever do it

 

[AVO]

Big name artists performing on 106 & Park. Dat Nostalgia. They can't get nothing but nobodies now.

 

[2Quik4UHoes]

you reaching.

this chit came out before diplomatic immunity even dropped.

Am I? On a mainstream note things got worse after Dip Immunity from that Cam/Jay/Dame situation. Cam didn't drop off in quality, but his ascent up the mainstream ladder took a blow from Mimi the emcee career killer.

To me, Cam is swag itself. A lot of the shyt people talk in Hip Hop today is based off Cam or the Dips. It was Hip Hop's final golden age. Ever since then its been a few scattered gems fighting for attention around a bunch of dirt rappers.

Brehs, me and my cousin was talkin bout this the other night and he made a great point. Mariah Carey collabs is the kiss of death for rappers that make it into the mainstream. When you think about it, a lot of brehs went down cuz of this bytch. She like the mulatto anti-Badu.

thats such a powerful point I'm not going to look into it

right now i'm not prepared to handle the truth in it

cam=ice cold

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

a shame we never got a live performance of Cam and Amerie doing this together.
her singing her heart out and Cam sitting on a fake stage stoop doing the adlibs and then getting off the stoop and doing the spin move into his verse.



nevermind a performance, should have been an official video for that remix.

cam's verse is classic but mad disrespectful.

chit is like a drug dealer that pimps on the side, invading a wedding. i just saw a flower die in my head.

 

[Droopy]

thread took me back one time, i remember when Oh Boy dropped...nikkas used to be foolin in the 8th grade hallways like we was in the video

 

[Hawaiian Punch]

Killa!
