Dipset head honcho Cam’ron recently revealed that he was responsible for writing one of Lil’ Cease’s most well-known verses.
In an interview with Hot 97’s DJ Cipha Sounds and Peter Rosenberg on their Juan Epstein podcast, Cam revealed that he wrote Cease’s rhymes on Lil’ Kim’s 1996 track “Crush on You.”
“What happened was, [Untertainment CEO Lance] Un [Rivera] gave Mase $30,000 to write five songs for Lil’ Cease at that time and Mase gave me $5,000 of the 30 to write one or two of the songs,” explained Killa. “I wrote the ‘Crush on You’ song and they ended up keeping it for Lil’ Kim album but it was really for Lil’ Cease. The original ‘Crush on You’ is all Lil’ Cease, Lil’ Kim isn’t even on the record.”
Unfortunately for Cam, he did not received any residuals from the track, which peaked at No. 2 on Billboard’s Hot Dance Music charts in 1997.

vets are 20+ yrs
cam been active since before 1997, so that would make 20 years.
Yeah he said that in a verse “….I had a crush on you mase and “Un” called and I wrote crush on you…” It was either on Killa Season or Come home with me. I think killa season
its on the harlem song off of kay slays second album track no.5! fire!!!
I remember that verse. I thought he was saying he wrote Kim’s verse that was added on. I didn’t know he wrote the whole original song with just Cease.
“From collabos, ghost writing for assholes
Want to use my brain, than give Killa mad dough
It’s all good, increase Killa cash flow
Increase my fame, that’s why Killa smash hoes”

same as ya moms suckin old but goodie
Man dipset where average but honestly…..they aint been helping themselves with their output….now niggas have forgot them and I dont regret that any skill the dipset members had is now water
I think that this article is an unfortunate testament to how rappers develop their careers. So many of these cats ghostwrite for others…as an artist, it is nearly impossible to crank out hit after hit after hit without some sort of consultation and collaboration with others. What sucks is that a young rapper undoubtedly finds it difficult to make their mark…so they take a little bit of money just to get the opportunity to meet with the right people who can get their names out there and get their music out. Cam found his way, whether you like him or not we can’t deny that he has made an image for himself and he has made a lot of money reppin’ the Dipset. It just sucks because cats like Wilie The Kid ghostwrote, tried to get recognition for it…but then no one sided with him. It sucks, but it’s the nature of the game…
your comment was longer than the article
Shit would have been all different if Big L never died
