8-Ball : Cam'Ron

Cam'Ron's Untertainment release,
Confessions of Fire, underground
hits like "357" and "Pull It" featuring DMX,
and radio favorite "Horse and Carriage," kept the
streets buzzing his name all summer long. Cam got down
and dirty to let XXL know that the b-ball playin', two liquor
store-ownin' ghostwriter-cum-rapper who penned Li'l
kim's "Crush On You" still has some confessions to make.


XXL: What was your illest dream ever?

Cam: I had Janet [Jackson] and Halle [Berry]. It was like they was trophies on both my arms, but I wasn't even f-ckin''em. Maybe I was hittin' it... but everybody was mad, 'cause I had both of them.

XXL: Who is the most famous female that you boned?

Cam: Let's just say she had a sitcom that ended last year.

XXL: How much of "Confessions" was non-fiction?

Cam: The first two verses wasn't phony, but it wasn't exactly my life. Like when I say I was blind out my right eye- my cousin is five years old; they just found out he's blind out his right eye. Like my man's girl got raped, and he thought he knew the nigga that did it. Or like my man had sex with his aunt, and I put that in the song.

XXL: Your man really had sex with his aunt?

Cam: Dead ass. I had sex with my cousin before. Not like a real cousin. It was at a family reunion. I would take bits and pieces of sh!t that goes on in my life and put 'em in the first two verses. The only reason I did the third verse was niggas was lovin' the first two so much. The third verse was straight fiction.

XXL: What was the most you ever dropped in a basketball game?

Cam: 66. Intramurals in my school. Five-minute quarters running my time. My team had 74, and I had 66.

XXL: Did your best sex come before or after the fame?

Cam: Before. Now when you go to a girl's house, it's more like they come to the door almost naked, then they lay you in the bed and they rubbing they ass all on you already. It's like what 'Pac said; "I don't want it if it's that easy.

XXL: So part of your enjoyment comes from chasing it?

Cam: Yeah, it's like when a girl's frontin', you be like, 'Damn, this girl's bullsh!ttin',' but when they throwing the pussy at you, it's like 'Damn, can I get a challenge?' 'Cause you'll be around a bitch, and she'll say 'You know my cousin sings' or 'I used to rap, but I don't be serious.' I be lookin' for bitches who don't even be into music like that. I want a bitch that don't even know me.

XXL: What is the highest you've ever been?

Cam: It was me and Jimmy passed out in a hotel, hurt. It was like a high where you can't get up. It was the first time we ever had Cali weed. Then it was another time when it was me, Jimmy, and Charli [Baltimore] in the Hit Factory. It was about 15 of us, but me, Charli, and Jimmy was the only ones high...just on the floor, rollin'.
