@@njinhere lifelong Dipset fan and though it’s never been publicly confirmed…I do believe that JR wrote some of Cam’s most outlandish bars during that era. There’s just no way.
Call me NASA man, Inside plasma fam, I got warrants? -I'm in orbit; come after Cam Those were throwaway bars still tougher than most mainstream rappers' hardest.
Thing about Camrons bars is they are so damn unique. He’s one of the only rappers to make his own flow game lane that no one else knows how to get up in it.
Jim Jones got clowned for rapping his mixtape verses so I doubt it ...a lot of ppl in these comments must not be Cam'ron fans because this wasn't a freestyle this was a full blown song he went up there and rapped on the basement passing it off as freestyle bars smfh

Everyone needs to know this: This is Cam’ron on BET’s Rap City, sometime in 2005, spitting over The Game’s “Dreams” track, which was produced by Kanye West. It is the most “I’m in the zone! I can hear Jimi!” performance in the history of recorded sound. That’s not particularly surprising when you consider the fact that, in the middle part of the last decade, Cam’ron was that zone’s landlord. From 2001, when the first Diplomats mixtape dropped, through his full-lengths, Come Home With Me and Purple Haze, Cam’ron was matched possibly only by Ghostface in rap’s lyrical supremacy sweepstakes. Where Ghost was 500-hour energy-drink amped and crying for the babies, Cam couldn’t care less. Everything seemed effortless for him. They were both spitting what, at times, felt like free-associative poetry about New York City, but they were doing it in totally different ways. He basically sums up his “I’m the best, who cares” attitude within the first 30 seconds of the Rap City clip: “I don’t even like to rhyme, love, but love this life of mine.” Despite all the great records Cam put out over that 5-year-and-change stretch, this might be my favorite artifact from that time. To the best of my knowledge and Googling, this performance, in full, only exists on UA-cam. You can find snippets of it on Best Of Cam’ron mixes, but not the full-length version. The lyrics were eventually repurposed for a song called “It’s Nothin’” on Dipset The Movement Moves On, but that track, with all due respect to Hell Rell, pales in comparison to what you see above. My favorite thing about this performance is how it looks like someone woke Cam from an incredibly nice dream about Pelicans he was having in the back of an Escalade and told him, “Killa, your country needs you.” Sleepy-eyed, no doubt a side effect from some powerful glaucoma medication, Cam proceeds to absolutely repossess this song from The Game. .22 to my head, this may be favorite Kanye West beat, outside of “Gone” or “School Spirit” or “Two Words” … OK it’s up there. But despite the fact that Kanye made it and it officially belonged to Game, I will always and forever consider this a Cam track. Cam rhymes about his sweat socks, the short life span of his jewelry, his Dipset crew member Juelz Santana’s style of conflict resolution, the variety to be found in his drug inventory, Betty and Wilma, Dora the Explorer, the veneer of his cabinets and winds down by declaring himself the brand new Entenmann’s. You might feel like this doesn’t qualify as a freestyle since Cam clearly isn’t coming off the dome. In this case I’d say you’re being pedantic and let you know that your shuffle-board game is about to start at the Covered Bridge Retirement Community Rec Center. You also might note, for better or worse, that Cam never breaks for a chorus or offers up a lyrical hook. Listen closer. Watch this over and over again. Everything Cam’ron says is a hook. Yahtzee. Yacht time I refuse to let UA-cam bury this comment because it’s a decade old. The young generation needs to read this. Shame on you UA-cam for burying/deleting this comment. It’s my only claim to internet fame.
Man you said it all my guy..this was well analyzed..Cam always been slept on but what happened at the Verzuz i feel took the little flowers he had a way. Cam would have been better doing a one on one verzuz
