(8) aznraps says:

I was disapointed it didn’t go very far
50 didn’t really go hard at Cam and Cam’s toes was more of a comedy. The youtube video with the phone conversation with 50 & me; cam was funny as f%$#. dipset was laughing at hot 97 so I’ll go with cam, but there both making money and going to sell records off this

February 23, 2007 at 2:31 pm
(9) playboys_finest says:

Say man u cant front 50 hasnt went hard since get rich or die tryin 4 real he is doin what every big name rapper is, get everybody to like him from the first album and then put out trash cuz he know everybody will buy it. He does exactly what he clowned ja for doin…this dude is pitifull it’s dipset all day man…if there was no emenim there would be no 50 cam didnt need nobody to launch him real shyt.

(10) Dont Worry About It says:

Personally I think this whole beef was stupid and a waste of time but I did enjoy listening to Camron’s because it was very comical.. Camron is a good comedian on tracks he had me dyin… but I believe 50 Cent is a better rapper or should i say has more potential than Camron… but I was disappointed with 50 Cent because I think he could have did alot better… His track wasnt all that good I think it was wack.. Camron’s was pretty good.. alot of the stuff he said was true for example “You ain’t 50, 50 Cent from B.K.” Well 50 Cent did take another guys name… “he look like a gorilla, with rabbit teeth” he really do… “You live in Tyson’s hand me down” Very true but hey I would take that house anyday lol… “Banks bricked, Mobb bricked, Buck ain’t been out for three years” VERY VERY true… “I ain’t hear you say Banks name in a minute” true once again… well there is a few more but you get the point… so I do love 50 cent wayyyy more than Camron as a whole but i think this one time Camron did better than 50 … so im goin with Camron he most definelty won..

(16) Stunt says:

I heard the hot 97 50 was tryin to be coo wit cam. And lets be honest lloyd bank has more money then jim jones. Jim Jones was a hype man until certified gangstas atleast thats how i looked at him. And all cam did was clown the niggaz first name curtis ok thats as corny as jimmy. But as far as the battle goes 50 won period

(21) Stunt says:

Game has nothing to do with cam and 50. And honestly game got recked by the rest of G-unit. As soon as doja aka the game got exposed for being gay he hurried up and covered that butterfly.

(22) Marcus says:

50 Cent Vs. Cam’ron

First and foremost Who writes Diss Hooks?..Both of these guys are plain terrible for that…Secondly, as for diss record material, they were awful..i mean Cam got that off with “u look like a gorilla with rabbit teeth” but overall I think both were soft. Unfortunately, I cant say one was better as far as diss material. But as for straight lyricism I think Cam holds that over 50 Cent (which isnt saying mention considering 50’s moteef is creating string instrumental hooks)However, I like 50’s input of Cam’s cameo from Paid In Full at the end, thatwas quite clever.

Winner: There pockets because thats the whole motive behind these diss records just to create buzz for there music

(23) SVPalexjackson says:

Hah Cam better call ja and ask em’ how he is living!!!!
Thee beef is abou money people, itsnothing personal, camron is getting sensitive and taking it personally that why he makes immature jokes about the way 50 looks. he said 50 got no swag? i didn’t see camron at the vma’s with vivica fox oh my bad i’ve never seen camron at the vma’s because he’s never gotten one!! your loyalty to dipset and cam is honorable but you all know what the end resut will be if cam doesn’t grow up and ry to fix it before it gets to deep. 50 triedto work it out with ja rule look at the situation now. he tried to work it out with cam, history is just repeating it’s self.

March 8, 2007 at 2:35 pm
(24) Jmaester says:

50 and cam. its like money nd broke. 50’s money. cam is broke. the only reason dipset still alive is JUELZ. then u got jim jones. cam make dipset look like a puss. 50 got it any way u try to bring it. yall saw the magazines, d chicks, d rims, d cribs, d money, d drinks, gosh. lol. mehn. nd u knw d funniest thin. cam sound like a lil kid. i neva liked him. i can neva take him serious. nd he tryna use d snitch dis on 50, naa tht got played out a long time ago. 50 did d time for d crime, nd got 10 shots and a coma to prove it. wht cam got? kick cam off nd make juelz king.

March 9, 2007 at 1:13 pm
(25) paypa boy says:

50 is a publicity stunting snitch.get rich or die tryin’ was good but everything else he’s ever done was garbo. g-unit fans dont care about lyrical skills they are just blinded by the wealth,popularity and all of the other BS that has nothing to do with music. i dont think that cam is the best rapper but he is a helluva lot iller than snitchycent. 50 has no punches, wordplay, metaphors etc. cam is waay! more of a lyricist. banks is gunits only hope and even he cant compete with jrwriter,hellrell,40cal,juelz,etc. lyrically.

(38) Zanga says:

Uhm firstly negroes are hating on 50 coz he surpassed most of their favorite rappers(eg.50 is more succesful than Jada/Cam&others).Im not a hater of Cam but that Cuurtis track has every element of stupid song.funeral music is quite a dark(hardcore) track,the beat and them lyrics.Tight track
