Cam’ron has issued a statement explaining the anti-snitching stance he recently took during an appearance on CBS’s 60 Minutes. In an interview with reporter Anderson Cooper, the Harlem MC stated that he would never cooperate with police in an investigation, even if it meant turning in a serial killer that lived next door to him. Since the report aired last Sunday (April 22), a public outcry has arisen over what people see as a lack of respect for the law. Today, the rapper released the following statement through the 5W Public Relations firm.
“In 2005, I was a victim of a violent crime. I was shot multiple times without provocation by two armed men who attempted to carjack my vehicle. Although I was a crime victim, I didn’t feel like I could cooperate with the police investigation. Where I come from, once word gets out that you’ve cooperated with the police that only makes you a bigger target of criminal violence. That is a dark reality in so many neighborhoods like mine across America. I’m not saying its right, but its reality. And it’s not unfounded. There’s a harsh reality around violence and criminal justice in our inner cities.
“But my experience in no way justifies what I said. Looking back now, I can see how those comments could be viewed as offensive, especially to those who have suffered their own personal tragedies or to those who put their lives on the line to protect our citizens from crime. Please understand that I was expressing my own personal frustration at my own personal circumstances. I in no way was intending to be malicious or harmful. I apologize deeply for this error in judgment.”

Hip Hop has been built on the many attrocities against the Black community. Granted Hip Hop is so diverse it has taken on many forms since its conception, the main theme is being a voice of the people. The only people offended by Cam’s stance are people who have not been subject to the crimes of those who swore to protect and serve…

This clown issued a statement through a public relations firm. See how quick he back away from that idiotic statement. People, these guys are marketing an image on multiple levels. The image to the “street cats” is: fuck whitey, fuck the system, and do what you can to get money. On the other hand, when it is actually time to conduct business all of a sudden the “white” man is all good and the “system” is a-ok.

The Spaniard says:
The fact that he apologized means very little. Some things are so inherently egregious or stupid that they should (would) not have been done in the first place by anyone with any decency or rational thought patterns. The best interpretation of this “apology” is that the backlash from various key groups and individuals was going to be a potential problem financially for his business endevors so he needed to back away from his “street” upbringing that he claims guides his every thought and action.
This is a side not but I am curious to whether or not he has a security system (ADT, Brinks, etc.) monitoring his home. I guess we can assume not.

Phawker » Blog Archive » POP IN TAPE: Stop Snitchin’ Is A Slogan, Not A Solution says:
[...] I won’t be so paternalistic as to suggest that Cam’ron owes anybody a Free Breakfast or has any sort of responsibility to act as a deputy, rousting murderers out of the h’ood. But “Stop Snitchin” can be one of two things — an act of intimidation over the airwaves or a piece of a larger movement towards self-sufficiency. Freezing out the police isn’t the answer — you must replace them with something. Only then can you surely say that the police are being cut out because they are unethical and not because criminals keep the ‘hood on lockdown. But the fact that the words “Stop Snitchin” fly so freely out of the mouths of those who bring nothing to the table but the pursuit of predatory profits is nothing short of black on black crime. After this piece was written, Cam’ron issued a press release concerning his appearance on 60 Minutes, it can be found here, via XXL. [...]

this whole stop snitchin “campaign” is all bullshit, people need to stop being ignorant. we all know better, but we like to act stupid to give ourselves an excuse to fail in life. that rule only applies if your in the game, and even if youre in the streets you could cooperate to a certain degree, without incriminating yourself or others, sometimes that shit is necessary. one world can’t exist without the other, there has to be a balance. and we can’t say fuck the law cause even in the streets exists a justice system as well as in the prisons. there is just some shit that is not tolerated even by criminals, speaking from experience. besides its common practice in the underworld to blackmail, sabatoge, and extort your enemy. camron talkin about gettin shot and not cooperatin because of retaliation. somebody just tried to kill me, the only reason i dont talk is if i’m going to take care of it myself. i’m going to do everything possible to rectify the situation, and if i can’t do it on my own damn straight i’m talkin. if i do somethin they’re going to come for me, and if a talk they’re going to come for me, whats the difference? if i can’t take his life then i’ll have to take his freedom. especially if somebody takes out my long time friend/bodygaurd and i’m not talkin, it better be cause i’m returning the favor. that man had a family and tryin to live right, he better had done the honorable thing. that is what is gonna make me buy his cd, not doing nothin.

BrainMunchie.com ...food for thought » Blog Archive » Shhhhh…. Killa Cam Says “Don’t Say Nuthin” says:
[...] I never grew up in a situation that enforced this mentality, but I can understand the logic and the foundation from which Cam speaks (not saying that I agree with it). Cam speaks about snitching as alienating his core fan base and creating an atmosphere for him that makes him susceptible to being the target of more crime. All of this makes me feel like being a hip hop artist is a life long image commitment - whatever you come in as, you have to maintain that image even after you’re no longer an artist. It’s just strange to me that people can become very successful and have no problem potentially throwing all of their hard work away with a few misjudgments. Cam speaks about being a business man, but a true businessman knows how to handle himself in every situation. Maybe that’s why he issued an apology for his statements shortly after this aired. [...]

Cam does not live in the hood. He may be from there but he does not live there now. The only reason he goes back is to keep up his street cred, if you believe anything else, you’ve been bamboozled.
Record companies create commercial rappers images, their lyrics, and decide who is going to be promoted and played on clearchannel. They are all full of BS, if you think any of them are real, you are a fool.
To those people that comment on stop kissing up to white people, guess what? White people are the ones selling this music to us and getting filthy rich off of it. For all you know, the stop snitchin campaign could have been created by a white man. If you think rappers make money, it’s not even a large percentage of what record execs make from rap music.
Also, as a black woman, I’ve NEVER had a white man disrespect me to my face, but I have been disrepected by black men more times than I can count. If I had a dollar for every black man that called me disparaging word because I didn’t want to give them my number, I could pay this month’s rent on my apartment. What does that say about us as a community? You talk about the white man but you’re acting exactly the way he wants you to, damaging to yourself and other blacks and ignorant! Instead of hustling, how about doing something to invest in your future?

Wow, Cam’s public relations firm did a fantastic job of writing this apology for him. What…did you REALLY think Cam wrote this himself? And I work for a PR firm, so I can speak on this.

cam is a publicity hunger has been wanna be gangsta rapper. a sissy bitch talkin dumb shit out the side of his neck to try to get press. listen to his lyrics, this cat is an idiot..he just can’t make sense.
and fuck any one who takes what a rapper says as gospel.. man the fuck up and realize where entertainment and reality differ.
and stop blaming everyone else for hip-hoppers, or the hood for being what it is… take some responsibility. we reap what we sow and its time to stand the fuck up.
