Cam’Ron and T-Mac

Twins!

By Sam Rubenstein

I’m back like cooked… oh wait that’s Juelz, not Cam.

Why, hello there! I have been writing these “Which NBA Player Are You” columns for the magazine for a while now. Every once in a while, they are just so special and wonderful that they need to be shared with even greater masses. You may remember going waaaaaaay back to my days as Sam the Intern, that I have expressed such a love for Dip Set (no ho-millz. Try to keep a sense of humor please) that I was sometimes called Sam’Ron.

Well, things have been tough on the Purple Panther for a few years now. You know, ever since he felt the need to hold a press conference to show off the bullet holes in his arm from when his Lambo (The Camborghini!) got shot up. Then he had a little fake rap industry beef thing with Cuuuuuuuuurtiiiiissssss… and although yes he made it really fun to call everyone named Curtis that (such as Khalid’s favorite white receiver), the end result was a weird video where he bragged about being on vacation at what looked like a Motel 6 near my relatives in Tampa. Then he got kicked out of Dip Set, and I lost track.

And now he has returned! The new album “Crime Pays” is not unenjoyable, which makes it the modern rap album of the year! So, I felt he was due to be compared to an NBA baller.

Ah, Tracy… Remember Tracy McGrady? That guy was amazing. I remember it was at least two years ago, Alan Paul and I were in the Rockets’ locker room, and T-Mac was talking to some media people about his chiropractor, then he limped away like… once again, the way my older realtives in Tampa walk.

What a build up! So here is how Cam’ron=T-Mac.

Bonus points for me for mentioning his old collaborations with Ma$e, because it seems I have prompted their glorious reunion.

    Whattup Sammy, good to hear from you. It’s funny, after my wife taught for about 1 yr in the city’s schoolsystem I thought she was completely loosing her mind. The good news is that it’s only temporary. It will only be a matter of a few months before you’ll write sensibly again.
    Peace buddy and keep up the good work.

    there was a period of a few years where mac was definitely top 3 in the league. mannnn! he did everything, such a great passer. and very clutch, that 13pts in 35 seconds was legendary. four 3s, with one being an and1 on timmy. and the last being off a steal for the game winner. what was sick was after he stole the ball, you knew he was taking and making that 3. thats what he did. and i hope he still can, maybe he should go to phx and see if their voodoo is real.

    This is why SLAM is still the best. “Sports, Drugs & Entertainment” is my isht!

    on the rap note, camera is garbage. K-RINO is jordan/wilt/kareem/magic/bird.

    Heh, Hammerhead shark was a good line. But the bottom most pic has his eyes is even further direction from one another. VH1 did the deal on the Pink Range Rover, whom Cam was eventually smart enough to sell to someone else.

    The Eagles are my team in Madden, so a extra long shout out of a certain white WR usually happens at least a few times when I’m playin my friends.

  • riggs

    and sports drugs and entertainment aint nowhere close to his classic confessions of fire. download and listen to it then youll ask yourself wtf happened to THAT cam?

  • http://shawn-kemps-offspring.blogspot.com Cheryl

    Not a Cam fan, but it was nice reading something from Sam again. Dude! I missed ya!

  • PArsons

    8 is enuff by Big L a youngCam up on that joint before the horse and carriage BS…

  • http://www.manutd.com Z

    I got off Cam’s bandwagon when he went on national TV saying that he wouldn’t ‘snitch’ on a serial killer. I still love rap to death but I’m a grown a– man, dammit! There’s just a level of idiocy that’s too much for me to take.

    Not gona lie, was never much of a Cam fan. And I love how you just scanned the pic right out the mag. Ghetto fabolous.

    “I just want head from Patty Labelle”. Wow!!

  • http://slamonline.com Sam Rubenstein

    Yes Khalid! That’s the best part of the new album
    “I’m killa you Andre Miller got a basic game
    Tell your chick hurry up we don’t wait for trains”

  • KHALID SALAAM

    btw, basic game or not, i’d still like to see andre miller on the sixers next year….also Sam, your mention of kevin curtis reminds me that its almost that time of year again. go eagles!

    “They in love like the 14th of February
    Play ‘em like April 1st right before I slide off
    It could be March 2nd, sound like July 4th
    Halloween or Memorial Day
    At your memorial be one year from today
    All y’all think it’s peace and peachy
    I leave you reesy piecy”

    the nursery rhyme bit is true though. still nasty.
