Cam'ron the Idiot!



Normally I try to ignore these simple ass ‘rap’ artists & the dumb shit they say. But sometimes I just have to call these ignorant ass clowns on the carpet. With all the death and destruction, killing (Virginia Tech), maiming and other shit going on in the world & not to mention OUR communities. Come on people! I’m all for freedom of speech & hip hop artistry – BUT this right here- HELL TO THE NAWL!!







Cam'ron, a.k.a. Cameron Giles (CBS)
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

(CBS) Rap star (FIRST WHEN DID CAM BECOME A RAP STAR) Cam'ron says there's no situation — including a serial killer living next door — that would cause him to help police in any way, because to do so would hurt his music sales and violate his "code of ethics." (They should have asked this NIGRA to define ethics) Cam'ron, whose real name is Cameron Giles(I’m going to find that birth certificate and change it to Cam Dumb Ass Giles), talks to Anderson Cooper for a report on how the hip-hop culture's message to shun the police has undermined efforts to solve murders across the country. Cooper's report will be broadcast on 60 Minutes this Sunday, April 22, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.


"If I knew the serial killer was living next door to me?" Giles responds to a hypothetical question posed by Cooper. "I wouldn't call and tell anybody on him — but I'd probably move. But I'm not going to call and be like, 'The serial killer's in 4E.' " Where is Jeffrey Dalhmer or Ted Bundy when you need them. This nasty neck nigga –YEAH I SAID IT- needs to be in somebody’s freezer!


Giles' "code of ethics" also extends to crimes committed against him. After being shot and wounded by gunmen, Giles refused to cooperate with police. Why? "Because … it would definitely hurt my business, and the way I was raised (Was he raised by a mother or a pack of crack heads? Hmmm), I just don't do that," says Giles.


Pressed by Cooper, who says had he been the victim, he would want his attacker to be caught, Giles explains further: "But then again, you're not going to be on the stage tonight in the middle of, say, Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina, with people with gold and platinum teeth and dreadlocks jumping up and down singing your songs, either. ( Is this clown actually saying that people with dreads & gold teeth are not capable of making INTELLIGENT decisions?)


We're in two different lines of business." "So for you, it's really about business?" Cooper asks. "It's about business," Giles says, "but it's still also a code of ethics." Rappers appear to be concerned about damaging what's known as their "street credibility," (Which half of dem ignorant so & so’s ain’t never seent no parts of the streets & will beat Flo Jo getting out the way at the first pop of a gun!) says Geoffrey Canada, an anti-violence advocate and educator from New York City's Harlem neighborhood.


"It's one of those things that sells music and no one really quite understands why," says Canada. Their fans look up to artists if they come from the "meanest streets of the urban ghetto," he tells Cooper. For that reason, Canada says, they do not cooperate with the police.


Canada says in the poor New York City neighborhood he grew up in, only the criminals didn't talk to the police, but within today's hip-hop culture, that has changed. "It is now a cultural norm that is being preached in poor communities … It's like you can't be a black person if you have a set of values that say 'I will not watch a crime happen in my community without getting involved to stop it,' " Canada tells Cooper.


Lord these are truly the last days. Black people are going to hell in a supercharged hand basket & niggas like Cameron are driving! Next he’ll say it a cool to wear condoms cause black men like to “feel” it! I am starting a Cam BOYCOTT right now!!!


Young people from some of New York's toughest neighborhoods echo Canada's assessment, calling the message not to help police "the rules" and helping the police "a crime" in their neighborhoods. Maybe this is why they are stuck in “toughest neighborhoods” & poverty. Elevate your mind so you can elevate your status.


These "rules" are contributing to a much lower percentage of arrests in homicide cases — a statistic known as the "clearance rate" — in largely poor, minority neighborhoods throughout the country, according to professor David Kennedy of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice. "I work in communities where the clearance rate for homicides has gone into the single digits," says Kennedy. The national rate for homicide clearance is about 60 percent. "In these neighborhoods, we are on the verge of — or maybe we have already lost — the rule of law," he tells Cooper. Says Canada: "It's like we're saying to the criminals, 'You can have our community … Do anything you want and we will either deal with it ourselves or we'll simply ignore it.'" I wonder how Cameron would feel if his Mom, Grandmother or sister or family member was shot, brutally murdered or beaten. Would he be singing “stop snitching” then?

YT always picks the best & the brightest to spotlight on T.V. to the rest of America. Peoples talk to your kinfolk so that can stop getting TV looking like a modern day minstrel show; Which reminds I got to write my protest letter to MTV about that damn Adventures in HollyHood!!
