You’ve heard all the speculation, rumours, assumptions…and so did he. After what seemed to be the longest three-year-span in history, February 2nd saw the mystery of Cam’ron’s disappearance completely dismantled as he debuted a new song and video and cleared the air with Miss Info.

Currently undergoing an all-encompassing media frenzy, the Dipset founder took time out to answer any question regarding all the unturned stones from recent interviews with TSS Crew’s TC.

This spring, Killa Season returns.

TSS: So it seems you can’t do an interview without being asked about Jim Jones and vice versa. Does the fact that people rather see ya’ll together motivate you to bridge the gap? No homo…

Cam’ron: (Laughs!!!) That’s actually funny.

TSS: (Laughs) I’m saying is there anything you can do on your end for reconciliation.

Cam’ron: Well you know it’s not in my near future. I don’t never wanna say never but I got a lot going on this year. With two movies, two soundtracks and two albums, my year’s pretty filled up so it’s definitely not gonna happen this year. Never say never though!

TSS: So you guys had whatever riff in the relationship but there’s no bad blood between you guys right? I just want to get that ironed out for everybody to see.

Cam’ron: Yeah, none at all. If I see him, it’s all good, ain’t no problem, we see each other, we talk and that’s that. Yeah, like I’ve been saying and telling people, I spoke to him 2-3 weeks ago, it’s all good.

TSS: You’ve been tracking Pray Iv Reign and hoping that it’s successful?

Cam’ron: Definitely. I hope it’s successful.

TSS: And the selling of Juelz’s contract, strictly business, no getback right?

Cam’ron: Yeah, he wanted to get out of his deal and I worked out a deal to where I was comfortable and got him out his deal. He asked for that! I gave him what he asked for, so I sold his contract to Def Jam. As long as he’s on Def Jam, I still got business with Def Jam. I don’t care if you do, six-seven albums over there, me and Def Jam still got business together. I just don’t deal with him directly.

TSS: So the you’re back in full swing and most of the situations have been addressed, but naturally people are curious about the music. Tell me about your album Crime Pays.

Cam’ron: No doubt. There’s 24 songs on the album…

TSS: 24? A double album?

Cam’ron: Nah, it’s all on one disc. It’s a real street album! There’s a couple of songs that may crossover, if so, whatever, but I kept it real gully, real gritty and there’s not a lot of features on there. My man Arab Music produced a lot and so did my man Schizo.

TSS: Is that Keema from “What Means The World To You” on “Cookies & Apple Juice?”

Cam’ron: (Laughs) Nah, I haven’t seen her since that (Laughs). That’s this female called The Bird Lady out of Harlem. I’ve been working with her the last two months and she got a lot of heat and it’s been a good look so far.

TSS: Is “I Hate My Job” going to be on the album?

Cam’ron: Yeah, definitely.

TSS: So what’s up with that rapper Nova saying you stole his song?

Cam’ron: He’s buggin’; he called me the other day to squash it or whatever. I understand where he’s coming from though. This is what happened: I did the song; I got it from a female or whatever whatever. Schizo did the beat and I gave it back to him to do the chorus. He tells me that he couldn’t do it because his friend did a song just like that. He played the video for me after I did song. I’m like “Wow, that song is similar to the one I just did,” but I already did the song. So I was like “Oh, well. I’ll do the chorus myself.” I understand him not doing it because that’s your friend or whatever but it ain’t like I bit his shit. So I put it out.

And at the end of day, I was telling him when he called me apologizing or whatever: If I wanted to steal your song, that would be stupid for me to name it the same thing that you named it, it was coincidental. Names would’ve got flipped to “I Hate My Life,” “Dumb Ass Job,” “Job Is Stupid.” (Laughs) Something along those lines. It just happened to be a coincidence. I wouldn’t steal your song and name it the same thing. That would be totally stupid.

TSS: So Crime Pays, would you consider it a Dipset release?

Cam’ron: Yeah, of course! Everything I do is Dipset! I’m the founder of the company!

TSS: Yeah, I was reading what they were saying and it was more along the lines of they were still keeping the movement going strong without you.

Cam’ron: Who is “they?”

TSS: It was Juelz who was saying…

Cam’ron: Alright, let me tell you this TC so it makes sense to everybody. Let’s do the math: if somebody is telling me that I couldn’t be Dipset all the way, don’t you think it’s mighty peculiar that Juelz sets up Skull Gang or Jimmy got Byrd Gang? If they could tell me what’s good with Dipset, why would they need to do that? Freeky Zeeky got 730, that’s my man. So I’m just saying, why would they need all these companies if they could tell me what to do with Dipset? Don’t you think it would just be Dipset and Cam’s not a part of that? You can’t do that! I understand what Zeek is doing, he’s getting his company off the ground but the other ones, they can’t dictate what goes on in Dipset. I’m not dissing ‘em, I just telling you how it actually is.

But why would you have Skull Gang if you could tell me what to do with Dipset? It don’t make sense.

TSS: Understandable, but do you think Dipset is weakened by running in all these different lanes?

Cam’ron: Ya know, that’s a good question. I don’t know, tell you the truth. There was a time when it was like the South was running everything…and there was Dipset. Ya know what I’m saying? I don’t know right now, I’m back and I gotta test the waters and see how everybody’s feeling, but Dipset is a lifestyle, it’s just not a group. People wear what we wear, drink what we drink, smoke what we smoke — it’s not just a label. So when I get back out there, we’ll see.

TSS: I’m telling you firsthand, they took it and ran wild with it.

Cam’ron: (Laughs) Alright.
