Juelz Santana sagt, Cam’ron hätte in den letzten Jahren zahlreiche Features von ihm geblockt und der eine oder andere Hit ist dabei flöten gegangen. Aber alles cool.
Over the past few years, Juelz has tried to make guest appearances on some of his peers‘ songs, but he said Cam wouldn’t clear the collaborations. In some cases, such as a Nike commercial and Chris Brown’s „Run It!,“ the head of the Dipset sued the people Santana worked with for compensation.
Juelz said „tons“ of his work on other artists‘ songs never saw the light of day. „I’m just gonna say a lot of big records. … I was on a good portion of those records, or asked to be on a good portion of those records that [Lil] Wayne was on ? along with him, not like they asked me before they asked him, or vice versa. I know I was on a good portion of those records, ‚cause the I Can’t Feel My Face thing. We were pushing that hard. People wanted to get both of us. I couldn’t go as far as the clearances. I could do my verse, then it got to the point where I couldn’t go there with people, because I didn’t want them to think that it was me being the bad guy not clearing stuff. I didn’t want that on my name. So, I would let people know, ‚I can’t really. … If you wanna just put it out on the mixtapes, we could do that all day. The fans definitely missed out on a lot of Juelz due to my contract.“
Despite the business gripes, Santana still speaks fondly of Cam and yells „Dipset for life“ consistently.
„I have no hard feelings towards Cam,“ he explained. „I tell people I couldn’t do business with him. But I will say he gave me the biggest chance I needed. I’m a dude from the ‚hood, so the chance he gave me is a chance I needed to never turn back. I’m good. My artistry, my talent, my career was never built on controversy. So I would never come out and say a whole bunch of things that could be said. All I can say is, I’m sorry he can’t be here to be a part of what’s about to happen, because we’re about to tear ‚em up.“
