Cam’ron on Weed, Education and Irony

Despite the fact that Cam’ron is a weed-smoking moron, if you want to join his goon squad, a college degree is required along with drug tests:

Cam’ron isn’t a stranger to bending a rule or two, hence his album title Crime Pays.

“The reason I named it Crime Pays … I’m not sitting around boasting or anything, but there’s a way to get around everything in the system,” he rationalized recently. “My favorite instance in particular, with me — I went to college and didn’t graduate from high school. I got to college and my coach brought the GED to my room like, ‘Here, you graduated, congratulations.’ Even though it’s a junior college … I never took my SATs coming out of high school. I was playing basketball and this junior college wanted me to come down and play basketball. When I got there, my GED was sitting on the bed waiting for me. I never took a test or anything.”

Navarro College’s current athletic director, Warrick Montgomery, dismissed the rapper’s claims.

“He played basketball. I was here at that time … I was not the athletic director,” Montgomery explained. “I would strongly tell you that that probably didn’t happen. I don’t know how it could happen. Our coaches don’t have access to a complete GED. Like I said, I was not involved, but I would strongly think that didn’t happen.”

Cam’s basketball career ended abruptly due to a hamstring injury, so he went back to New York and got back into rapping. Millions of albums and a legendary crew named the Diplomats later, he now employs people as well as crafts songs.

“To work for me and DukeDaGod — you gotta have a college degree if you want to work for us,” he said. “Neither one of us has a college degree. Well, he does, but I don’t have a high school diploma. So what’s the irony of that? And if you work for us, we’re not hiring you unless you have a degree. And you have to take a drug test. But we don’t have a degree and we smoke weed — it’s irony.”

Crime Pays lands in stores on May 12.

Ain’t that some dumb sh*t if you’ve ever heard some before? How is he going to deny someone the joys of stupidity and drug use that he immerses himself in on a daily basis? Talk about unfair…

That would be hypocrisy. Not irony. But given that Cam’rom acts like the damn spokesperson for stupidity, I’m not surprised he didn’t know that.

Cam! When are you going to come out with Killa Season 2?

I’m sorry, but the first one was hilarious, even if it was shot with a Nokia 100…

Maybe I should have camron on the cover of our next issue. then he could probably talk about everything he wanted to get off his chest from Jay-z having his sloppy seconds (marrying Beyonce) LOL just a thoughtm or maybe chat about the dipset crew

Damn, I really missed him in the game but this was just too stupid. I can’t believe he would treat people like this, no chance givin *****. Nothing wrong with inspiring people to get a degree but that is NOT what that was. This was degrading, arrogant and oh yeah, double standing!

@ Dirty Harriet: the truth ’bout weed smokers
He has just publicly admitted he is a bull***** artist. To brag about not having an education and we have a Harvard Law School graduate who is black in the White House? This ignorant dumb ***** ***** is so played out. I hope the weed burns what little seeds he has for brains out.

rofl at all the cam’ron haters. I said it before, bossip is a breeding ground for dipset haters to come and hate! lol Cam’ron, I actually know him personally. He is one of the realist rapper. What people hate about cam is hes honest. hes a honest dude, people just dont want to hear the truth. what he said about jayz was the truth what he said about 50cent was the truth. people just hate him, so they dont want to hear what he says. and bossip consistantly runs negative stories about dipset so people are just immune to hating on them on this site. cam told people something truthful about his life. he was a ball player and he didnt graduate from school and his coaches did something crooked for him to play. yall so busy slammin him, what about the system he tellin yall about? that why some of yall bossipers make me sick. to the other chick how many rappers do you know have a college or high school degree? cam’ron has far more money than you, his own company and a ton of cars. and hes an idiot? your on here talkin about him! think before you post!

4/18/09, 11:04:am

who’s checkin for cam? *****ody on this pop site. cam’ron was voted being the rapper witht he biggest internet buzz this year. he got 7mil views on world star in 10 days. thats incredible. its a lot of people checkin for camronn and crime pays. just not the mainstream fans on this site. he has the biggest hip hop release this year. his album as of right now has more buzz than releapse and 50cent pushed his album back and practically hasnt been scene since cam came back! lol its a lot of people checkin for cam. move past this mainstream site and on to some hip hop sites or somewhere else and broaden your horizens.you will see cam has a huge buzz outside this site that consistantly hates on him and dipset.

Yeah Killa Season was a good movie to spark up to and laugh at the editing uhh “work”, but that’s abouuuut it.
Dis nucca was servin’ custy’s in Harlem. The next scene, those SAME custy’s were in Baltimore…PFFT.

HA! that’s what it is Cam. He’s keeping it real. Didn’t Bill Gates go to college and drop out? yet homeboy has billions. and all the people that work for Microsoft went to unversity and sitting on a degree. i don’t understand how that makes him dumb for wanting what he wants. Most businesses want people with a degree or a certificate in something.

See people just don’t understand how Killa works. He doesn’t make sense becaus he’s not supposed to. LOL!!! He loves to throw people ***** to think about and guess what? Yall thinking about it!! I can’t wait for his album to drop because the mixtapes are off the chain. Cam’ron has always been a funny dude and saying crazy silly ***** to ***** off people but at the same time if you really listen to him, he makes alot of sense. The goal is to get a reaction out of people, and it works, always will too. This dude is Harlem to the fullest and if you notice, alot of Harlem cats say some crazy *****, that’s apart of their persona. *****y and crazy but smart as hell, hence all the damn dollars they make. I love it. Killa is in the *****-*****in building!!!!!!!!! Don’t get mad. It’s Dipset *****!

“about it”.he just said he wasnt boasting! didnt you hear him when he said that? he was just making a point, just like his whole album is a point that the system is messed up and it drives some people to crime. cause crime actually pays.people be so busy hating they dont get the gyst of things.

Exactly the point I was trying to make. If you’re smart enough, you understand where he’s coming from. But people can’t see past those diamonds and *****!-LMAO!!

Okay, Bill Gates is a college drop out, and Cam’ron is a high school drop out. But Cam can return to school and get his high school diploma or G.E.D. it’s not that hard all it takes is ambition and effort, lol….

Don’t use the reverse psychology defense. He is promoting that dumb *****, school is for punks *****. Y’all are always givin’ these *****s a p***** and tryin’ to translate for them. He says he ain’t boasting and then he boasts. Puhleeze, didn’t you ever hear actions speak louder than words…
For those who are smart enough to get it.
