:mjlol: Are YOU serious right now?



:mjlol: I NEVER said Camel is wack. I just hate the way Camel is stanned and the way the Camel Lovers, as I call y’all, ride his dikk and act like Camel is the 2nd coming of Christ and try to live vicariously through him, when in reality Camel lives in his own world aka Camel Land, where he collects rare art, wears expensive watches, and drinks expensive wine and is out of touch with the real world.



:mjlol: I get it, Camel’s story from Sahara to Riches is inspiring but every song is Audemar this, Hublot that, Basquiat this, Warhol that.



:mjlol: I know Camels are supposed to be low maintenance, but Camel-Z is bougie as fukk. :francis:

Ice Ice Baby is an undeniable classic song and video, but other than that yes he was that bad:pachaha:
He had a legit hip-hop background and could dance, so if he kept it a buck and the rest of his music was along the lines of that song he might have been straight. Instead he went with the glittery thug Ken doll pop record thing, and no there's nothing to appreciate about that. Him and Drake were/are both fugazi, but the actual music was so much wacker in Rob's case. But at least he's confessed and acknowledges his fraudery , and seems to actually be a pretty cool dude.

Ice Ice Baby is a classic. And Ninja Rap was okay for the TMNT-aged group. But he was a one-hit wonder, and that MC Hammer-influenced persona that they created for him was corny. It was somewhere between Marky Mark pretty boy, and Hammer. And just like Hammer, it got "played out" quickly - roughly around the same time when that style got phased out. He had a 1 year run, Hammer had a 2 year run...The irony is, he actually had a solid pen, nothing outstanding or groundbreaking, but solid...and from all interviews, and accounts, seems to be a really cool dude.

But authenticity mattered then, and had the label gone with his true-to-life persona, he would've lasted longer. Once people found out parts of his "story" was created, it didn't matter what was true and not true, his time was over. And didn't he come back with dreads?

But once again, he has a hip-hop classic in Ice, Ice, Baby.

In them days J was just starting out and probably anxious to turn his money over. He would’ve signed the singing chipmunks if he thought they could’ve helped him go legit. We’re just lucky it never happened.

nah I literally posted the willie d interview where he mentions j


J saw ice every other weekend at the rhinestone which he eventually owned

willie low key was bein a alpha since he was sign n he didn’t wantin nobody boguardin

j sent his boy cliff to sign em .. somethin happen where cliff didn’t do it

because j heard ice ice baby said oh shyt we got another hit .. they told him he didn’t sign em

j missed that boat

had j signed him ..suge vs j would’ve started
