Cam'ron Apologizes For Snitching Comments
by on April 26th, 2007
After an appearances on 60 Minutes With Anderson Cooper earlier this week in which Cam’ron (Camron Giles) stated snitching is wrong and isn’t tolerated amongst inner city communities; an apology has been issued for his comments through his Public Relations Firm “5W Public Relations “
“In 2005, I was a victim of a violent crime. I was shot multiple times without provocation by two armed men who attempted to carjack my vehicle. Although I was a crime victim, I didn’t feel like I could cooperate with the police investigation. Where I come from, once word gets out that you’ve cooperated with the police that only makes you a bigger target of criminal violence. That is a dark reality in so many neighborhoods like mine across America. I’m not saying it’s right, but it’s reality. And it’s not unfounded. There’s a harsh reality around violence and criminal justice in our inner cities.
“But my experience in no way justifies what I said. Looking back now, I can see how those comments could be viewed as offensive, especially to those who have suffered their own personal tragedies or to those who put their lives on the line to protect our citizens from crime. Please understand that I was expressing my own personal frustration at my own personal circumstances. I in no way was intending to be malicious or harmful. I apologize deeply for this error in judgment.”

In other words his album sales didn’t get hurt.

the only reason cam did that 60 minutes interview in the first place is to try and prove hes not a snitch cause he knows he was starting to catch heat when he dry snitched on that Jay diss…and know he goes and says sorry…CLOWN…and i love how all the haters bring up 50 for nooooooooo reason god damn its gonna be a hot summer for you haters better stock up on that haterade and sun block hahahahahaaaaaa
hahaha stock up on haterade thats funny has fuck 50 has nothing to do with this nigga just being jealous ass haters
fukk tha police……… fukk bush…n american government.. power to tha people.
IMMORTALITY4EVA
“fukk tha police……… fukk bush…n american government.. power to tha people.”
I couldn’t have said it better
Stop oppressing the poor and needy!!
and i love how all the haters bring up 50 for nooooooooo reason god damn its gonna be a hot summer for you haters better stock up on that haterade and sun block hahahahahaaaaaa
^^^this is exactly what im talking about. this article has nothing to do with 50, and people still manage to bring up his name. but nah, they aint haters. theyre the ones promoting his new album, and the first ones to buy it when it drops.
Why in the hell did they ask for cam’s opinion on snitchin anyway..
- Good point. You’d think they’d ask a true legend in the game, like a Nas, a Jay, a KRS, a Wyclef, an LL, etc.

alot of ppl been goin @ his neck for his comments. When truth is any other rapper would have said the same thing.
- Well, we’ll never know that, now will we? They should have had a forum of rappers, rather than just one. Seems like he represented the WHOLE Hip-Hop, which he doesn’t. If anyone saw the clip, I liked the little young boy’s comments. He was wayyyy on point. I was wit’ Cam until the serial killer part. For the record, serial killers don’t really operate in the middle of the hood. They usually operated in a secluded, wooded area, AWAY from the general public. But if you KNOW a serial killer lives next door to you, you’d move? If you knew 9/11 or Columbine or Virginia Tech was going to happen before it happened, you wouldn’t say anything? To any proper authorities? Wow.

Another question??
Why do so many of y’all love G-Unit??
- You might as well STOP askin’ the ? We’ve been goin’ through that 4 months and months, to no avail.
Lastly, I want some1… ANYONE… to CLEARLY DEFINE:
A) SNITCHING
B) DRY SNITCHING
A) Snitching – Mrs. Jackson, Ricky has a whole bag of candy in his bookbag.
B) Dry Snitching – Mrs. Jackson, do you smell anything sweet in the air?
So if you indirectly alert the proper authorities to something, that hasn’t happened yet, by your admission $Mack, then it’s dry snitching. So when Cam said he saw some1 throw the Roc sign up be4 he got aired, then he wasn’t dry snitching because it ALREADY happened? And, he wasn’t snitching because he didn’t say, “Jay-Z shot me.” Correct or incorrect?
2ndly, in Juice, when the boy (I forgot his name) woke up from almost being killed by Bishop shooting him, and told that it was Bishop who shot everybody, was he snitching? (I used that ex. cause EVERYONE’S seen Juice.) If someone does something to you and/or your family or friends, and you know who did it, and you don’t plan on taking the law into your own hands, do you tell who say, shot you, or your daughter? Or do you let it go and wait for “what goes around comes around?”
I was always under the assumption that “SNITCHING” was just telling stuff for no reason that ain’t have nothin’ to do with you. Like, I wouldn’t call the cops and be like, “Such and such is on the corner bussin’ a trap, right now”, or, “the stash is hid behind the wheel on this car.” That’s wack. Or, if someone in my hood killed someone else in my hood, and everyone knows it, which they always do, you pretty much keep your mouth shut. But if I shot someone a fair one and they came back and shot me and I tell who shot me, how does that make me a snitch? Seriously. I’m not a killer. What am I gonna do, go shoot him back?
This is a touchy topic. You have to pick and choose the choices you make and how important it is to you and your physical well-being and of the people connected to you, to give up certain information about certain people. Correct me if I’m wrong.
A situation happened around here, last year, in Willingboro, NJ, where some Bloods shot two brothers, killing one, because they missed 3 consecutive meetings. Upon waking up from almost being killed, he couldn’t wait to tell in court and to the police and his mom everything that went down. He lived, and told it all, down to who ordered the shootings, who actually made them, and who was all there. His brother is dead. He almost got killed. Is he a snitch? I need you, OR ANYONE, to break down this post and answer all my ?s.
I remember another instance where me and my boys got caught in a stolen car and at the station all the cops really wanted to know was who was the driver. They came at me in a private cell with the okey-doke, “Ya boys already told us you were driving [which I wasn’t], so you might as well just tell us what happened.” I never ratted or said anything. All I said was, “I wasn’t driving” and “I personally know none of them said I was driving because I wasn’t driving.” “So, tell us who was driving and you can go home.” “I’ll speak for myself. I wasn’t driving.” After about 2-3 hours, I was 18 so they released me on my own recognizance. Period. So did I “snitch” or “dry snitch”?

My ?s are OPEN TO ANYONE WHO’D LIKE 2 ANSWER ?S 1-5… they’re basic “yes” or “no” ?s… I just want to see if we all get similar answers, that’s all…
MY ANSWERS:
1) According to $Mack’s definition, he didn’t snitch or dry snitch. That’s my assessment.
2) I don’t think he snitched. Fuck that.
3) Also, if I’m not trynna seek retaliation myself, it’s NOT snitching. But again, that’s my assessment.
4) I don’t think he snitched. Fuck that.
5) I definitely didn’t rat… I just wanna know if speaking only for myself qualified as “dry snitching”. I doubt it though.

…I’ll anwser yo damn questions.
1) Technically he was’nt snitching only because he did’nt say directly who was responsible. Yet on the other hand, he really did’nt know who shot him. (allegedly). Now…Under certain circumstances (say in police custody) you will definately be pressured to snitch. If Cam was in custody, he probobly did, Only because I dont see him as a strong enough individual.So I would say you’re correct about that.
2) Yes, In ‘Juice’ when Steele (the boy) got shot up by Bishop, he was snitching. When someone has been hurt (yourself and/or familia), It would be right to snitch. In alot of hoods, you’ll find that unwillingness because of retaliation. Which in most cases wont really happen. If I know who shot be…I would probobly kill them myself, but with normal people who dont follow street codes, they would snitch.
3) As I said before, I myself would definetly go in for the kill. But if you tell, yea it makes you a snitch.
4) No matter what…he is a snitch. But he has a good reason for snitching. You can view this from two perspectives, those that follow the code, and those that dont.He was of course scared by being shot by his fellow bloods, so it’s that pressure that made him snitch. He had all the right to snitch in one case, and in another, he’s a straight up fag for doing so.
5)Did they get caught. If so you dry snitched. you we’re covering your own ass. You did’nt mean to, and if you knew these dudes, I guesss they would understand. If you didnt know (or trust) these dudes…Why the fuck we’re you with them anyway then?
These anwsers are all in my own opinion. If U want to check my street cred, Look at #9 on the cities list. SouthSide Youngstown Bitch.
