Cam’ron Thinks Kanye West Wearing Skirts Is “Wild Gay”
"Get Down"
Artist: Cam'ronProducer: Chad Hamilton
Release Year: 2004
Song Sampled: "Life's Opera"
Sample Release Year: 1985
Sample Effect: Dipset was always surprisingly effective at looping a quick, seconds-long sample and building an entire song out of it, and that's exactly what Killa does here.
Why The Song Is Dope: There will always be a debate about which album was Cam'ron's best, but for my money it's gotta be Purple Haze, and I don't care what the rest of y'all think. The track is so simple, and that's exactly what makes it so perfect; all you really need at the end of the day is something to ring in the beat, and let Killa do the rest. One of the standouts of his career, and a Dipset classic. It's, for better or for worse, the Diplomats' version of Jay's "Hard Knock Life," but it samples a much less annoying track. —DR
Despite Cam'ron having a tumultuous fallout with Jay Z and Roc-A-Fella, he always was enamored by the talent of Kanye West. He and West collaborated on numerous occasions, more notably his 2004 single, "Down & Out." While the two rappers were well known for the hit making abilities, they were also admired, and at times, chastised for their fashion taste. Now, Cam'ron is back throwing jabs at his Kanye's fashion sense on a new record from his newest project, 1st of the Month: Volume 3.
On a record entitled, "Back On Our Bullshit," Cam' raps "Mr. West, what up? It's been a while 'Ye / Your music is tough, but them skirts is wild gay."
This isn't the first time that Cam came at Kanye's neck. If you recall, he threw shots in 2011 on a freestyle to Ye's "Runaway," when he rapped "Kanye, you a sucka nigga / Dissed Dame, so my attitude is 'Fuck the nigga,"
Does this warrant a response from Kanye?
