SneezeMag put up a transcript of a random conversation between Cam, Dame and occasionally Sen City a while back ranging from Fashion Week, Capes, getting back in the liquor game, a tv show idea and Cam being 100% serious about fighting Hopkins.
*don't bother reading if you came in wanting to read more about Dame wanting to fight Steve Stoute.

From SNEEZE N°21 pre-spring 2014
CAM’RON GILES: Front row, we been front row. nikkas ain’t even know, Dame. We done been at like, all of these fashion shows.
DAMON DASH: Word.
CAM’RON: I gotta say, thank you, by the way, for taking me to all them shyts, back in the day. Now they be like, “Cam’s here.” Last season, when I went to fashion week, they were making nikkas get up (from the front row). I was popping up at fashion shows — and I went with JuJu. They were telling people, “Oh yeah? No. Your seats got messed up.” Anything fashion show we go to, we good.
DAMON: You know I know what it is. You know how I do.
CAM’RON: I know, nikka. You took me to my first fashion shows.
DAMON: Yo, and we went in frontin’ on nikkas.
CAM’RON: Word.
DAMON: We used to be stuntin’ on ‘em. ’Cus we was out, we was doing the fashion shows right when the Pink was prime. They ain’t even know about it.
CAM’RON: Yeah, exactly. Actually, nobody was even on Pink. We made it prime. Yo, you know Crayolas want them nikkas a color, man.
DAMON: Please do that. That’s so legit. My daughter can color with some.
CAM’RON: We gonna get our own color.
DAMON: Yeah. For stuntin’ purposes, that be crazy.
CAM’RON: Yo, we gonna start making our own capes too.
DAMON: They got to cost at least like, $5,000.
CAM’RON: That’s what I’m saying. We have to have high-end capes and not just throwaway capes neither.
DAMON: They gotta represent money.
CAM’RON: Word. We’ll do the short capes for the girls and then the full length capes. It’s kinda mink-ish, you know what I’m saying? Like in fall, we would have denim, but it be a nice denim, not rough, you know what I’m saying? Or it could be linen, in the spring.
DAMON: That would be acting up.
CAM’RON: Like there’s a lot of shyt. Even the liquor, we got to capitalize off that.
DAMON: I’ve been waiting. All you got to do is tell me which one, and we making it.
CAM’RON: I gotta sit down and think about it.
DAMON: That’s all I’m waiting on. You know — the sooner the better, because it takes a year. I just got to start developing the liquid.
CAM’RON: That ain’t no problem. I’m just thinking, marketing wise—
DAMON: Anything you do that’s good is gonna crack.
CAM’RON: Like Rick Ross started fukking with this champagne. I was in the ’hood and everybody had shyt on New Year’s. I went to my man’s New Year’s party and they had mad cases of that shyt out there.
DAMON: That’s how it is. Like you know it, though. We did —we started that.
CAM’RON: That’s what I’m telling you.
DAMON: We started that shyt.
CAM’RON: We did that with a lot of shyt. Cologne. We had cologne up in Macy’s before J-Lo, Puff, anybody.
DAMON: Yeah. Exactly. We had the Oh Boy. Yeah, we do that.
CAM’RON: Yo, you know what would be dope, though, that nikkas was talking about?
DAMON: What?
CAM’RON: Like, you know how nikkas go on the Maury show and try and talk it out? What if you had real three-round fights for nikkas with problems. It be like, “Nah, that nikka been owing me money for two or three years.”
DAMON: Call it, The Fair One.
CAM’RON: Word. Yeah, The Fair One.
DAMON: I need three rounds with Steve Stoute.
CAM’RON: shyt like that. You know what I’m saying?
DAMON: Word up.
CAM’RON: He ain’t going to do it — but I’m talking about on some Maury Povich shyt but like in the ring. You know what I’m saying? Like, you got regular ’hood nikkas that got beef with other nikkas. Let’s say, for instance, he wants to fight, because a nikka owe him $75 for like, two years and he thinks it’s a joke. He be like, “I want to fight so and so. He musta forgot. He acting like I work for free. I’ll fight the nikka.” Then a nikka be losing and be like, “Man, you lost $75 — and you got an ass whooping.” You know how many people be lining up?
DAMON: That would be dope.
CAM’RON: I’m talking like, state to state.
DAMON: (laughs) Word. Like, even a dude that fukked your girl or something.
CAM’RON: Exactly. Word.
DAMON: It be like, “This nikka my cousin and he be fukking my cousin and my girl.”
CAM’RON: And then he want to fight his mom’s boyfriend.
DAMON: “This nikka been picking on me since I was nineteen. I don’t give a fukk if he forty-two years old.”
CAM’RON: Ha. Yeah. Exactly.
DAMON: “This young nikka fukking with my mom’s. She’s sixty-four. I’m not calling this nikka, Dad. I’m fukking him up.”
CAM’RON: (laughs) All you gotta do is set it up. Let me take care of everything else.
DAMON: I was gonna ask you something but I forgot.
CAM’RON: What — you wanted to talk about Bernard some more?
DAMON: Nah. You already did a song about it. Sen, you heard the record?
SEN CITY: Yeah, he said he wants to fight B-Hop. Wait, are you serious?
CAM’RON: Yeah, I’m serious, I’m at like, 197, right now but I ain’t working out. I get down to one, 182, 181. To be serious, I can get down to 180 and be comfortable. Eat right, detox for like two months, don’t smoke, I can be down to 180.
SEN: Bernard been fighting for like, forty years, my nikka. He done did ten years in jail.
DAMON: I told you it was ten years.
SEN: For armed robbery.
CAM’RON: It was five. Google it, man.
SEN: We got free tickets to the fight.
CAM’RON: Fam, first of all, we going to get $10,000,000 in sponsorship alone.
SEN: Hip hop media, boxing media.
CAM’RON: You there. You already there. See our generation there. You already see where I’m going with this, man.
DAMON: You can make a lot of money doing a lot of things.
CAM’RON: We can still make a lot of money doing a lot of things — and if we win — we going to make extra money. nikkas get invited to the ESPY Awards. We going to Denver so I can train in high altitude.
DAMON: His first fight is going to be against Bernard Hopkins — what you think about that fight? How’s it going to go down?
CAM’RON: Even if I lose. I’m not getting knocked out.
SEN: He might catch you with a few body punches. He going to get hit.
CAM’RON: He going to get hit. He going to get hit more than I get hit. I’m not saying power punches or nothing, but the amount of times I’m going to jab this nikka — I watched the Jermain Taylor fight the other day, man. Him and Jermain. I’ve been doing my homework on this nikka. Punches in bunches, man. You got to be active with him, man. That’s how Chad Dawson beat him, too. Active. nikkas want to start slugging it out. Nah, man. We ain’t on that.
SEN: You used to box?
CAM’RON: I used to, back in my uncle’s gym. But that was when I was like nine or ten. I ain’t even going to act like I got no boxing experience. I don’t. I got — I know I’m not going to get knocked out — experience. And I know, fukk around if I do win, and shyt be crazy. Y’all giving Bernard too much credit.
DAMON: Sen, what’s your prediction on that right there?
SEN: He going to try — I actually don’t think he’s going to try and hurt Cam.
DAMON: Oh shyt, that’s what you think?
CAM’RON: I think he’s going to try and hurt me.
DAMON: Bernard’s not going to try and hurt him?
SEN: No, like knock him out, or—
DAMON: He just called him out.
SEN: Well, I mean, after he hear that.
DAMON: He’s going to hear it. Bernard is hood.
CAM’RON: Yo, fam — I can not wait to fight Bernard Hopkins. ♠
