Eye To Eye: Cam'ron (CBS News)

One of the hip hop culture's messages is to keep your mouth shut when the police start asking questions. Rapper Cam'ron tells CNN's Anderson Cooper why he'll never snitch. (CBSNews.com)

[@Trash-Beats]

Who’s here after Cam cnn diddy interview 😂😂😂😂 we here in Zimbabwe can’t take this young man serious 😂

[@alikbey]

Wow and it's still being called the "diddy" interview when the man was clearly not trying to talk about diddy. Proving camrons point after all😂😂

[@Trash-Beats]

@@alikbey 😂

[@donaldricejr]

Ha ha same in nc

[@jerelmatthews23]

Is it a time when it's ok to talk to police? Camron: Yeah of course... Hey, how you feeling? U good? Lmfaoooo Cam is hilarious

[@MrTekKnowledge]

Most lawyers would agree with Killa. The serial killer thing was a big fail though.

[@Ayplus]

To the 37 people that disliked this video. . . 'YOU MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!'

[@IceCube8185]

cam use to be wild boy this is him at his calmest ive ever seen lol

[@Stretch187able]

Man I was in the Feds from 2003 to 2011 and everybody was snitching like a mf. Still are

[@chandlerballer4310]

Still are

[@vinobeats2202]

He def the goat for this interview 😂

[@MrTekKnowledge]

Oddly enough, this is the same advice defense attorneys give you

[@DiorDietmar]

They did Cam dirty cutting off his head like that 😂

[@hhenry8989]

The serial killer part got me turning haha

[@fancynancy074]

Just reading the comments here, I have to disagree with everyone who said he was inarticulate. I think Cam'ron handled himself *very* well in this interview. Seriously, folks, every try asking other rappers like Three 6 Mafia a question? Can't be done. Kudos to Cam'ron.

[@johnconnor210]

One the greatest 60 min interviews ever.

[@SkinoGreeneVu]

But he told on a couple of cats down in DC doing they thing..?

[@SimpreOroNuncaPlata]

I LOVE KILLA unintentionally funny 🤣🤣🤣‼️‼️ classic

[@dkradiant]

LoL! Say Hello. How You Feel? Everything Alrite? Period. Cam is too funny

[@kevsrapmusic]

Classic- "Yea definitely Say hello how you feel everything Alright PERIOD" Only Cam Only Cam.

[@Chigz10]

"is there any situation when you think it's okay to talk to the police" "yeah definitely, say hello, how you feel? everything alright?" HAHAHA

[@805oxnardsocal]

Whos here after the new cnn interview 😂

[@cameronhill9746]

Lol

[@FloJSimpson]

it's support like yours that people in his situation end up where he is.

[@kingdza]

hes telling the truth and keeping it a 100

[@ravensown24]

cam'ron was a really good rapper.

[@Writersblock39]

I grew up in the streets, I grew up with drug dealers, and gangsters. If a serial killer lived next to me and I knew it I would call the cops day one. It is not acceptable to allow someone who may kill your or someone elses kids/wife/husband/mother/father/sister/brother is unacceptable, and if you think it is you are a piece of shit.

[@Rayrockny]

I'm older now, 40 yrs old and honestly all I see is Cam and Dame schooling these reporter and destroying them politically. I'm sad the young kids have taken a step backwards and could never hold a conversation like is.

[@USFCpresident]

That's cause they were raised by a bunch of morons that were fostered a toxic and deadly environment centered around killing each other with guns and drugs, thinking they schooling somebody when in reality they played themselves and the generation behind them.

[@arsenalfan13]

Yeah that is true smh. These young rappers are just fent addicts and crash dummies.

[@MrJaysoul13]

much luv n respect for that nigga cam....never snitch

[@nickynugz]

hahaha this never gets old. cam!!

[@lawrenceroman5656]

no snitching is a gangsta code. not a civilian code. if a serial killer is living next door to a real gangsta. the serial killer or a child molester would be missing in action.

[@kubbykush9401]

Nuf said.

[@nanettematthews2264]

He didn't want to say that but that's basically why you wouldn't 📞. Policing your own community means taking out the trash...

[@PEEMZEE]

I 100% disagree with what he’s saying but I 100% agree with what he’s saying

[@yaBoyRome]

hello, how you feel, everything alright. this guy man lmao

[@V3rnSqwd5611]

Forget black history month we need a whole month dedicated to honoring cam’ron. Paid in full would be on bet everyday for all of February.

[@TAX357]

DEFINETLY! Love IT!

[@bonyjoop]

I guarantee if one of his family members was snatched up and held hostage or came up missing he will be the first one asking people to help locate his family members.

[@xsu1664]

He never told on the dude in D.C. He told on himself claiming they shot cam to act cool and get clout.

[@lloplop]

the problem with "remaining silent" is that you are in a situation where your fate very much depends on arbitrary variables. The cops can charge you with with real bullshit that you then have to prove your innocence! While you wait in jail. I've come totally clean with cops and been let go with no license on parole! They took my weed and told me to get the fuck home. I'm just a dude trying work and do my best supporting my kids. Shit is hard. You feel ppl out some pigs have hearts bruh 4real

[@ChadFreeman757]

“U wasn’t there” 🔥

[@mikescott6920]

Classic interview this should be in the Bible

[@zzzurreal5370]

lol.

[@scg13]

The people who respond to this calling him an idiot and justifying 'snitching' just don't get it. You were raised in a different community where different things happen and completely different type of people lived around you. You will never understand the reasoning behind what he's saying so therefor you have no right to criticize him on what he's saying. If you were so broke all you could do was sell weed to feed your family, and your next door neighbour ratted you out, how would you feel?

[@elvinparker248]

People didn't know then and now what snitching is....

[@MarcPlaysDrums]

matter of fact check the nas and jay interview. they both called cam out on it and mind you they played the song in question during the interview and asked them to address it and followed it up with "did your people shoot camron".

[@MondoBeno]

I knew a guy who also "wouldn't snitch" after he was shot. His logic was "I chose to live in this area, and this is the price I pay, and if the gunman gets arrested, another one will take his place".

[@theawardgoesto1]

They only want you to snitch because it makes them money, not snitching keeps the money on our side. Keeps them out of our business

[@ApostropheB]

" A code of efficks." That's right.

[@itskingkylie]

This dude is serious entertainment! Vh1 where u at ???

[@MrDeshawn124]

yoooooo..... this is classic... "hello... how are you? how you feeling? period!" ha ha ha

[@sexydiva7ify]

Unwritten rules of the streets, some ppl don't understand....

[@charsobishi]

So imagine you're in a house chained up and theres some phsyco sharpening his knife waiting to cut little pieces of you. Then you realise that the person next door is cam'ron. Can't imagine you'd be so understanding then.

[@sexydiva7ify]

@@charsobishi I commented on this 7 years ago... I don’t even know what this video is about and I’m not about to rewatch it

[@groovyome]

if he live next to a serial killer he would probably called 1800 crime stopper and claim the reward

[@hint0122]

fine, then when something happens to someone in your family, I hope the cops dont show up

[@Justin_Quartuccio0430]

I think you need to find a people that are positive and support good morals and stop looking for people that don't care. Plus you know kids can get around their families. They don't know what their up to every second at school or at friends. It's your responsibility as a man to be a man and be positive and let what you went through change you and mature you.

[@redfox908]

I can see that Cam'ron doesn't take social responsibility very seriously. Maybe if something bad happens to them, it's a "take things into their own hands" mentality instead of a "let's contact the authorities" mentality.

[@kevindatruth]

Man i agree also you are funny as hell

[@systembust]

u know that's true... people use the word wrong all time time but what u said is true.

[@mrbombastic522]

i wouldnt tell anybody but id prob. move. hahaha funny shit Cam

[@LoliLove7]

If he was put under enough pressure he would snitch, trust and believe. I don't snitch but I can't say that if there were two dectectives questioning me for days at a time, messing with my head I wouldn't.

[@mefadonimmortal]

All rappers are not stupid. One rapper does not reflect the minds of all rappers.

[@haruhistnumber5]

Word.

[@Jajais4u]

True. Police don't do shit in my area but patrol. They don't really do shit about anything. Cam was right. It's different in the hood in than in the burbs.

[@latonyasykes9993]

6ix9ine need to take note of not being a snitch

[@fancynancy074]

And ignorance should be illegal. But unfortunately, you're still free out, and at large.

[@Flames2Ash]

cooper: is there any situation where u think it's okay to talk to the police? camron: definately, say hello and how you feel, everything aite? lmao this nigga's a comedian.

[@jumpmann3455]

im a serial killer living next to camron, and let me just say LIFE IS GOOD

[@J.WILDER]

lol cam is funny say hello how you feel you alrite lmaof

[@KPITGangsta]

I think that when there's a code of ethics to maintain a community and you don't uphold that, you honestly have no right to complain about it's current state. STop Snitchin maintains the ingnorance that keeps people quietly suffering and that's right I guess. Maybe this is why I am confused on why this is an issue in the first place. I dont agree. A quiet mouth never gets fed. Thank you individuals for helping the "team" suffer. Thank You.

[@YoungDosex]

OFCOURSE what cam said bout the serial killer thing was wrong, but put yourself in all this young black men raised in the ghetto where if you snitch youre more rather dead camron is a PRODUCT OF HIS ENVIROMENT dont blame it on cam but on the society we live he was raised this way don't say that just cause his black he does that cause white dudes in the ghetto live by the same rules since most of yall have good parents, good enviroments ont know what is like... nothin but love yo, just an opinion

[@dukesara]

I agree 100% that what it is....

[@mrpapafunky7879]

i agree totally

[@emperor536]

he said he wouldn't snitch if a serial killer is in his neighbourhood he'll just move! Yeah good advice Cam'ron to all the average income families out there who actually listen to you.... i just wonder how many would be able to move... i hope people don't misinterpret me on this, i don't hate rap, it's just another genre of music like all others.. what i hate is that mainstream artists like himself can be so insensitive about what he says on national tv and in their music

[@Ihateeminem1985]

Cam' is funny! LMAO

[@Muraabit]

if somebody took a shot at me, hell yeah i'd snitch.

[@chriscorcione8104]

More people should learn how to keep their muthafuckin mouths shut! Especially these fake ass rappers that be dry snitchin on themselves.

[@gv105468]

damn i never knew cam was shot before, crazy

[@pyrexvisi0n]

We don't talk to them, about us ...

[@MarcPlaysDrums]

as far as jay and the stabbing, you can't snitch about something everyone (including the police) knows about.

[@Crittab]

Good to know his record sales are more important than the lives of those who get hurt by violent people who he wont turn in.

[@lawrenceroman5656]

I agree and I'M black.

[@warnutztheloser]

i grew up as a snitch

[@cdm386]

i hate to say it but given the environment that he grew up in and the path that he chose in his life, hes doing the right thing when it comes to his relation with police and his honor code.....he aint like me or maybe you, so yeah, i kinda feel what hes sayin

[@LBNYking]

what is that sweater that cam'ron has on ? and also he wears those 6 9 numbers on front of the sweater?

[@jdaking1]

I will Never SNitch! I neverr Snitched in my life. I've been snitched on plenty of times, and I hate that feeling... so I will never make anyone feel that pain.

[@quran777]

Cameron is a crank!

[@MurphyLawMedia]

hey this was added on my birthday guys lmao

[@Donkeyhawk]

alright, there's exceptions to the rule, like setting up an enemy, puttin a shitload of coke in soemone you don't like's car etc, or if your car is stolen, you prosecute him, that's why you pay for insurance, a serial killer, first of all how the fuck would he know before the police? secondly, any real man woul dget together with a friend or maybe by himself, and go kidnap the killer and torture him some get a onfession on video and then leave him somewhere wher ethe police could find him

[@trulynot]

You can do evil from an act of commission or omission. Yes, it is the job of the police to catch the criminals and their job is made a lot more efficient and effective with correct and timely information from witnesses. Yes, the court system does need overhauling.

[@trap-du3hd]

1:20 he shitted on him by asking "for u its just about business" he cant respect camrons views on snitching. just like how during slavery the enslavers wouldn't respect a code of silence among slaves. african americans have always been and will always be a separate nation/society/community than white america. America is an empire composed of many nations. its not his responsibility to report a serial killer to police, he only has a responsibility towards the black community. they have their own "government" and "police"

[@quin_ro]

I wont tell on the serial killer but I'd step in somehow

[@billiondollarbiscuit8189]

Lmaoooo middle America is probably confused as hell. We're already used to Cam in the hip hop community 😂😂😂

[@BigKev96]

LOL The biggest Catch 22 ever to set forth on society

[@ThatwasTERRIBLE]

@nolaeast It's not a generalization when I have the actual sales reports to back my posts up. But try again.

[@9rolo9]

all that may be true, but i was referring to Anderson's example...not the overall crime picture. This clip is about not "snitching", a culture that happens in lower income predominately black neighborhoods, thus reducing if not eliminating the possibility of Anderson's hypothetical.

[@ferre77]

Let me say this.... If you know someone is killing people or selling and you know who it is. If you come forward you not a "Snitch". To me the problem comes in when your doing the same thing and your trying to bring someone down for the same thing. If you know who it was that shot you someone who could've taken your life it's beyond insane to not tell the cops who the fuck shot you. PERIOD!!!!

[@LucasseLeBron]

in some ways its ignorant, in some ways its the "Bloodline/code" (for lack of a better terms), in some ways its the understanding that theres someone less fortunate than you thats starving more than you and an understanding that in their position you may do the same thing, in some ways its the fact that police in those areas do not help the black race so theres no need to tell them. dont get me wrong, yes some of it is ignorant and im not justifying it, just an explaination

[@704OMEN]

LMAO SAY HELLO HOW YOU FEEL U ALRIGHT.....PERIOD!

[@shagreezz3]

"I have a fanbase of 500k ppl" that aint shit lmaooo

[@theycallmemarco]

camron is right for saying what he said simply bc he was raised that way...juss like alot of ppl are are raised to talk to police,hes raised not to talk at all....like me

[@obamastolemyvcr1446]

*People that say don’t snitch are most likely are the same people who need to be snitched on*

[@MkGennyX]

oooooooh dint know dat

[@IJIEIRIZIEIYI]

people just come from diferent backgrounds and will never understand eachother, enough said

[@elvinparker248]

It's not snitching if somebody pop u... stop it...

[@ThatwasTERRIBLE]

@nolaeast You're claiming that people in the "community" buy all these records, yet it doesn't show in the sales reports. They may be buying music, but it's not the real thing you fool.

Why is CBS even making a segment on this clown. If you are going to interview a rapper, atleast get a well known rapper, Jay-z, 50, Eminem, or somebody of that caliber!
