One of the hip hop culture's messages is to keep your mouth shut when the police start asking questions. Rapper Cam'ron tells CNN's Anderson Cooper why he'll never snitch. (CBSNews.com)
Just reading the comments here, I have to disagree with everyone who said he was inarticulate. I think Cam'ron handled himself *very* well in this interview. Seriously, folks, every try asking other rappers like Three 6 Mafia a question? Can't be done. Kudos to Cam'ron.
I'm older now, 40 yrs old and honestly all I see is Cam and Dame schooling these reporter and destroying them politically. I'm sad the young kids have taken a step backwards and could never hold a conversation like is.
That's cause they were raised by a bunch of morons that were fostered a toxic and deadly environment centered around killing each other with guns and drugs, thinking they schooling somebody when in reality they played themselves and the generation behind them.
no snitching is a gangsta code. not a civilian code. if a serial killer is living next door to a real gangsta. the serial killer or a child molester would be missing in action.
I grew up in the streets, I grew up with drug dealers, and gangsters. If a serial killer lived next to me and I knew it I would call the cops day one. It is not acceptable to allow someone who may kill your or someone elses kids/wife/husband/mother/father/sister/brother is unacceptable, and if you think it is you are a piece of shit.
the problem with "remaining silent" is that you are in a situation where your fate very much depends on arbitrary variables. The cops can charge you with with real bullshit that you then have to prove your innocence! While you wait in jail. I've come totally clean with cops and been let go with no license on parole! They took my weed and told me to get the fuck home. I'm just a dude trying work and do my best supporting my kids. Shit is hard. You feel ppl out some pigs have hearts bruh 4real
So imagine you're in a house chained up and theres some phsyco sharpening his knife waiting to cut little pieces of you. Then you realise that the person next door is cam'ron. Can't imagine you'd be so understanding then.
matter of fact check the nas and jay interview. they both called cam out on it and mind you they played the song in question during the interview and asked them to address it and followed it up with "did your people shoot camron".
I knew a guy who also "wouldn't snitch" after he was shot. His logic was "I chose to live in this area, and this is the price I pay, and if the gunman gets arrested, another one will take his place".
I guarantee if one of his family members was snatched up and held hostage or came up missing he will be the first one asking people to help locate his family members.
camron is right for saying what he said simply bc he was raised that way...juss like alot of ppl are are raised to talk to police,hes raised not to talk at all....like me
I think you need to find a people that are positive and support good morals and stop looking for people that don't care. Plus you know kids can get around their families. They don't know what their up to every second at school or at friends. It's your responsibility as a man to be a man and be positive and let what you went through change you and mature you.
I will Never SNitch! I neverr Snitched in my life. I've been snitched on plenty of times, and I hate that feeling... so I will never make anyone feel that pain.
If he was put under enough pressure he would snitch, trust and believe. I don't snitch but I can't say that if there were two dectectives questioning me for days at a time, messing with my head I wouldn't.
The people who respond to this calling him an idiot and justifying 'snitching' just don't get it. You were raised in a different community where different things happen and completely different type of people lived around you. You will never understand the reasoning behind what he's saying so therefor you have no right to criticize him on what he's saying. If you were so broke all you could do was sell weed to feed your family, and your next door neighbour ratted you out, how would you feel?
I can see that Cam'ron doesn't take social responsibility very seriously. Maybe if something bad happens to them, it's a "take things into their own hands" mentality instead of a "let's contact the authorities" mentality.
It goes like this: Cam grew up under the universal hood code of not being a snitch (a sacred code amongst all men and women born and raised in the streets.) Revealing any information to anyone outside of those not raised in the streets or those you know personally, is like breaking that code. (think of telling your family's secret recipe to someone outside your family.) If you can't understand that, then don't go to the hood [period]
So if he lives besides a serial killer, he wouldn't report it but move. What if he moves and his friend, or even his family member, happens to move in that house, and the next day gets killed?
Let me say this.... If you know someone is killing people or selling and you know who it is. If you come forward you not a "Snitch". To me the problem comes in when your doing the same thing and your trying to bring someone down for the same thing. If you know who it was that shot you someone who could've taken your life it's beyond insane to not tell the cops who the fuck shot you. PERIOD!!!!
he said he wouldn't snitch if a serial killer is in his neighbourhood he'll just move! Yeah good advice Cam'ron to all the average income families out there who actually listen to you.... i just wonder how many would be able to move... i hope people don't misinterpret me on this, i don't hate rap, it's just another genre of music like all others.. what i hate is that mainstream artists like himself can be so insensitive about what he says on national tv and in their music
I think that when there's a code of ethics to maintain a community and you don't uphold that, you honestly have no right to complain about it's current state. STop Snitchin maintains the ingnorance that keeps people quietly suffering and that's right I guess. Maybe this is why I am confused on why this is an issue in the first place. I dont agree. A quiet mouth never gets fed. Thank you individuals for helping the "team" suffer. Thank You.
all that may be true, but i was referring to Anderson's example...not the overall crime picture. This clip is about not "snitching", a culture that happens in lower income predominately black neighborhoods, thus reducing if not eliminating the possibility of Anderson's hypothetical.
True. Police don't do shit in my area but patrol. They don't really do shit about anything. Cam was right. It's different in the hood in than in the burbs.
Who’s here after Cam cnn diddy interview 😂😂😂😂 we here in Zimbabwe can’t take this young man serious 😂
Wow and it's still being called the "diddy" interview when the man was clearly not trying to talk about diddy. Proving camrons point after all😂😂
@@alikbey 😂
Ha ha same in nc
😂😂🙋🏽♀️
Is it a time when it's ok to talk to police?
Camron: Yeah of course... Hey, how you feeling? U good?
Lmfaoooo Cam is hilarious
Most lawyers would agree with Killa.
The serial killer thing was a big fail though.
cam use to be wild boy this is him at his calmest ive ever seen lol
To the 37 people that disliked this video. . . 'YOU MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!'
Man I was in the Feds from 2003 to 2011 and everybody was snitching like a mf. Still are
Still are
Yup
Oddly enough, this is the same advice defense attorneys give you
But he told on a couple of cats down in DC doing they thing..?
hahahahahahahahaha. im ctfu.
SkinoGreeneVu lmaoooo
SkinoGreeneVu W
😭😭💀💀💀
lol
He def the goat for this interview 😂
They did Cam dirty cutting off his head like that 😂
The serial killer part got me turning haha
One the greatest 60 min interviews ever.
Just reading the comments here, I have to disagree with everyone who said he was inarticulate. I think Cam'ron handled himself *very* well in this interview. Seriously, folks, every try asking other rappers like Three 6 Mafia a question? Can't be done. Kudos to Cam'ron.
classic interview...classic, classic, classic
Classic- "Yea definitely Say hello how you feel everything Alright PERIOD"
Only Cam Only Cam.
camrons a straight up soldier... i respect him a lot more after listening to this interview
hes telling the truth and keeping it a 100
it's support like yours that people in his situation end up where he is.
"is there any situation when you think it's okay to talk to the police"
"yeah definitely, say hello, how you feel? everything alright?"
HAHAHA
I LOVE KILLA unintentionally funny 🤣🤣🤣‼️‼️ classic
DEFINETLY! Love IT!
Whos here after the new cnn interview 😂
Lol
cam'ron was a really good rapper.
I'm older now, 40 yrs old and honestly all I see is Cam and Dame schooling these reporter and destroying them politically. I'm sad the young kids have taken a step backwards and could never hold a conversation like is.
That's cause they were raised by a bunch of morons that were fostered a toxic and deadly environment centered around killing each other with guns and drugs, thinking they schooling somebody when in reality they played themselves and the generation behind them.
Yeah that is true smh. These young rappers are just fent addicts and crash dummies.
no snitching is a gangsta code. not a civilian code. if a serial killer is living next door to a real gangsta. the serial killer or a child molester would be missing in action.
Nuf said.
He didn't want to say that but that's basically why you wouldn't 📞. Policing your own community means taking out the trash...
hello, how you feel, everything alright.
this guy man lmao
This dude is serious entertainment! Vh1 where u at ???
much luv n respect for that nigga cam....never snitch
“U wasn’t there” 🔥
hahaha this never gets old. cam!!
LoL! Say Hello. How You Feel? Everything Alrite? Period. Cam is too funny
u know that's true... people use the word wrong all time time but what u said is true.
Word.
I grew up in the streets, I grew up with drug dealers, and gangsters. If a serial killer lived next to me and I knew it I would call the cops day one. It is not acceptable to allow someone who may kill your or someone elses kids/wife/husband/mother/father/sister/brother is unacceptable, and if you think it is you are a piece of shit.

Man i agree also you are funny as hell
I agree 100% that what it is....
i agree totally
Classic interview this should be in the Bible
lol.
Unwritten rules of the streets, some ppl don't understand....
So imagine you're in a house chained up and theres some phsyco sharpening his knife waiting to cut little pieces of you. Then you realise that the person next door is cam'ron.
Can't imagine you'd be so understanding then.
@@charsobishi I commented on this 7 years ago... I don’t even know what this video is about and I’m not about to rewatch it
matter of fact check the nas and jay interview. they both called cam out on it and mind you they played the song in question during the interview and asked them to address it and followed it up with "did your people shoot camron".
what is that sweater that cam'ron has on ? and also he wears those 6 9 numbers on front of the sweater?
And ignorance should be illegal. But unfortunately, you're still free out, and at large.
I knew a guy who also "wouldn't snitch" after he was shot.
His logic was "I chose to live in this area, and this is the price I pay, and if the gunman gets arrested, another one will take his place".
Cameron is a crank!
I guarantee if one of his family members was snatched up and held hostage or came up missing he will be the first one asking people to help locate his family members.
yoooooo..... this is classic... "hello... how are you? how you feeling? period!" ha ha ha
damn i never knew cam was shot before, crazy
@DENZELDAY who said that line?
He never told on the dude in D.C. He told on himself claiming they shot cam to act cool and get clout.
People didn't know then and now what snitching is....
I 100% disagree with what he’s saying but I 100% agree with what he’s saying
Forget black history month we need a whole month dedicated to honoring cam’ron. Paid in full would be on bet everyday for all of February.
fine, then when something happens to someone in your family, I hope the cops dont show up
We don't talk to them, about us ...
Cam' is funny! LMAO
They only want you to snitch because it makes them money, not snitching keeps the money on our side. Keeps them out of our business
camron is right for saying what he said simply bc he was raised that way...juss like alot of ppl are are raised to talk to police,hes raised not to talk at all....like me
Who's here after Cam Cnn video 😅
Yup 😅

" A code of efficks." That's right.
@ThisPageStaysREAL real talk
I will Never SNitch! I neverr Snitched in my life. I've been snitched on plenty of times, and I hate that feeling... so I will never make anyone feel that pain.
@nolaeast It's not a generalization when I have the actual sales reports to back my posts up. But try again.
If he was put under enough pressure he would snitch, trust and believe. I don't snitch but I can't say that if there were two dectectives questioning me for days at a time, messing with my head I wouldn't.
The people who respond to this calling him an idiot and justifying 'snitching' just don't get it.

I wouldnt tell I woukd move
LMAO SAY HELLO HOW YOU FEEL U ALRIGHT.....PERIOD!

"tell anybody on him"
I wont tell on the serial killer but I'd step in somehow
lol cam is funny say hello how you feel you alrite lmaof
as far as jay and the stabbing, you can't snitch about something everyone (including the police) knows about.
I agree and I'M black.
i wouldnt tell anybody but id prob. move. hahaha funny shit Cam
oooooooh dint know dat
Reminds me of Sicily in Godfather
HAHAHAHAHAHA
KILLA!
Cam is hilarious!
All rappers are not stupid. One rapper does not reflect the minds of all rappers.
So if he lives besides a serial killer, he wouldn't report it but move. What if he moves and his friend, or even his family member, happens to move in that house, and the next day gets killed?
i'll probably move....
1:55 THIS NIGGA CAM SAID HE'D MOVE LOL
He said 4 e now I gotta move lol
i grew up as a snitch
Good to know his record sales are more important than the lives of those who get hurt by violent people who he wont turn in.
I kinda understand where he is coming from. If you handle your business then its all good.
this guy is living on mars
if he live next to a serial killer he would probably called 1800 crime stopper and claim the reward
hey this was added on my birthday guys lmao
Let me say this....
If you know someone is killing people or selling and you know who it is. If you come forward you not a "Snitch". To me the problem comes in when your doing the same thing and your trying to bring someone down for the same thing. If you know who it was that shot you someone who could've taken your life it's beyond insane to not tell the cops who the fuck shot you.
PERIOD!!!!
If his family members was snatched and came up missing he will be asking for the police and community to help them locate them
Lmaoooo middle America is probably confused as hell. We're already used to Cam in the hip hop community 😂😂😂
*People that say don’t snitch are most likely are the same people who need to be snitched on*
-_-
he said he wouldn't snitch if a serial killer is in his neighbourhood he'll just move! Yeah good advice Cam'ron to all the average income families out there who actually listen to you.... i just wonder how many would be able to move... i hope people don't misinterpret me on this, i don't hate rap, it's just another genre of music like all others.. what i hate is that mainstream artists like himself can be so insensitive about what he says on national tv and in their music
6ix9ine need to take note of not being a snitch
looooooool @ 2:19
I think that when there's a code of ethics to maintain a community and you don't uphold that, you honestly have no right to complain about it's current state. STop Snitchin maintains the ingnorance that keeps people quietly suffering and that's right I guess. Maybe this is why I am confused on why this is an issue in the first place. I dont agree.

all that may be true, but i was referring to Anderson's example...not the overall crime picture. This clip is about not "snitching", a culture that happens in lower income predominately black neighborhoods, thus reducing if not eliminating the possibility of Anderson's hypothetical.
cam'ron is the smartest man alive.
True. Police don't do shit in my area but patrol. They don't really do shit about anything. Cam was right. It's different in the hood in than in the burbs.
