what a generous individual Cameron Giles is.
Cam'ron has been one of the latest guys to set airwaves and mixtapes ablaze with unofficial, unauthorized remixes. He just injected himself on Amerie's "Why Don't We Fall in Love," and his verse on the end of Ja Rule's "Dial M for Murder" made the song an instant street gem.
"No disrespect to Ja, but they weren't playing that song on the radio 'til I did the remix," Cam'ron said. "Sometimes it's the right verse. Not saying Ja doesn't have three or four other songs on the radio. Not dissing at all, that man is doing his thing, but that was a street joint. N---as start playing it, like, boom. Before, it was just an album cut."
Cam, who hasn't been hurting for hits with his own original recordings, said that if he feels strongly about a song, he sees no harm in putting himself on it.
"I was in my car [listening to 'Dial M for Murder' and thought] the beat was too crazy," he recalled. " 'I feel I need a verse on there.' Instead of just freestyling, I'll make it seem like a remix — kick a verse on there and keep Ja's verses on there so people will pay more attention to it.
"If you just freestyle, everybody is gonna go, 'Freestyle,' " Cam'ron explained. "When the artist just goes in and [lays it down, like] boom, boom, boom, it be hot, instead of [going through] all that negotiating and it [ends up] wack. Sometimes you just gotta feel it and go do it — whatever happens, work that out later. It ain't like I did it and Ja's mad, like, 'What the f--- are you doing?' I said some descent sh-- there. When [Murder Inc.] heard it, they were all good with it anyway."
