My Thoughts On Cam'ron And Being A Label Boss

I don’t think we (me and Cam'ron) actually turned on each other, as opposed to just…we just grew apart from each other. We would see a lot more discrepancies going on between the two of us. For the most part you don’t see anything going on between the two of us. He’s doing what he does; I’m doing what I do. Hopefully we can get this Diplomat thing back together, put another album out and sh*t like that and keep it moving.

I don’t know man, when me and him do get up, trust me, y’all gonna know about it. For the most part everything is pointing in the right direction; I’m open for it. I like big checks, ya heard me?

 

But being a label boss. Pressure. It’s always pressure when you got the responsibility of a company. You got to keep in mind that you got to worry about the well being of the people that work for you. It’s hard being in charge, ain’t nothing easy about it. I wouldn’t change nothing about it…a little less emotional, sometimes I get too emotional with things. I’m an emotional motherfucka man. I’m an emotional rollercoaster, I’m a Cancer, I can’t help it.
