Cam Du

Cam'Ron ft. Lil' Cease - Hustler
(From The Rough, Rough, Rough album promo CDr; 1999)



Sum shit I just found out: Cam'Ron had a Hard Knock Life-core song on the promo version of S.D.E. Flipping So You Wanna Be A Boxer from Bugsy Malone with Lil' Cease bouncing the hook. Easily the best Hard Knock Life-core track which wasn't produced by The 45 King.

Craig Mack and Big Scoob went to the 45 King for The Wooden Horse and Can Du respectively, and while neither of those tracks blew up, they were far better Hard Knock Life-core choonz than Jay-Z's own hard knock-off Anything or whatever Busta's shitty song with The Ugly Duckling sample was called. Latter song is such a quack it was the first flop single of Busta's solo career.

Anything actual rappers can do, a wife-beater and Keith Allen's daughter can do a decade later and much worse:

Anarchy is my favorite Busta album for whatever reason. I liked Anything as well, but I'm a psycho.

But man, the SDE advance was far superior to the retail version. I get why some of the records didn't make it in the end, but cutting his flip of "Bitches Ain't Shit" and "Fed Up" with the Guy "Piece of my Love" sample was criminal

Damn this is interesting considering Cease,C-Gutta and them ran Cam and Jim out of Rucka Park

Didn't think about that. Was that around the same time?

Remember the Junior Mafia & Gerald Levert song Cam guested on? 😆
