Nearly 10 years after releasing his Purple Haze album, Cam’ron is planning on calling it quits.
The Diplomats‘ frontman took to Instagram yesterday (December 11) to announce his retirement.
Within his Instagram video, Cam’ron visits his friend Huddy’s grave, while Sam Cooke’s “A Change Gone Come” plays in the background. In the caption, Cam reveals his plans to no longer pursue music.
“Fresh off da flight.. To see my brother..,” he wrote. “HUD 6 told me lastnite.. #AChangeGoneCome ..my last album.. #PurpleHaze2 this summer.. It’s been fun.. But HUD said we got other things to do. #Hud6”
Miss Info was able to catch up with the Harlem-bred rapper shortly after he shared the news on Instagram. Cam confirmed his plans to move on and shed some light on what he will be doing in the near future.
“Yeah, It’s a wrap. Time to move on,” he told Miss Info. “Movies and clothing are doing really well for me right now. I’m helping Mendeecees [Yandy’s husband from Love & Hip Hop NY] with his album. And…I’m building a club in Vegas.”
Earlier this year, Cam said that he was working on the project Federal Reserve with A-Trak. Recently, he has been putting out his First of The Month series via iTunes. Cam’s crew, the Diplomats, also reunited for a string of shows throughout the year.
Purple Haze 2 is scheduled to be released next summer.
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!
I’ll be dropping albums for the next 10 years …It’s all good home girl
Cam’ron knows he can’t keep rapping after calling Jay-Z old all those years back. lol Now it’s time for The Game and Jim Jones old asses to stop rapping too. “You 38 and you still rapping? UGGHHHHH”
If camron retires from rap..then I retire from listening to rap! To me this is a sign rap and hip hop culture is dead or tooken over by some fake gangster homosexual rappers and he just can’t take it anymore! At least I still have all his albums to listen to! DIPSET FOR LIFE!! Been listening Camron since 96 anyone who’s been listening to him would not say anything negative! Cams a Legend!!
AZ last ever album coming next year as well . End of an era coming soon
Not sure if thats pure sarcasm or insanity at its best, but you go lil soldier…..
^ Not sure if your a Lil Debbie fan or not but you do you …..”Ganster Boo” # SMILEY FACE
Cam fell off after Confessions of Fire. His first album. You’re fucktarded.
Cams been slacking anyway he used to be one of my top 10 but than he started spitting that nursery rhyme shit than the bullshit he did with Wayne after that it was like wtf is this nigga on dude hasn’t been the same since sde that mediocre roc project was his best effort since see what happens when you let young money infiltrate your camp so yea for cam it’s a good idea it’s not about age just the fire is gone some vets still have it kool g, nas, the lox, Wu tang, but cam and the dips have done nothing short of disappointment after the first compilation album.
Paragraphs my nigga paragraphs
That nigga said he’s working on Mendeecees album?? Nigga keep that shit in the garbage can. His bitch won’t even buy that shit. His fam won’t buy that shit. He won’t sell 10 copies. He’ll make JR Writer’s album look like the MMLP.
You know Cam intentionally matched that liquor bottle he dropped off to his kicks, lol.
Thanks for sharing. We have a lot of depression and anxiety in our family. As a church, I think it’s important to mention those things to help others know it’s ok. It’s helpful to go to counseling and anyone can suffer with depression sometimes. Thanks for your honesty and sharing……………………………………… http://WWW.WORK4HOUR.COM
GREAT! Neva bought ONE of his WACK jointz, so ONE LESS idiot pollutin’ the World! BURY HIM in that fruity PINK FUR!!!!!! DIP SH*TS!!!!!!!
One of the best he had a good run in the industry. Did it all.
except make good music
When do rappers ever live up to their words when they say that this is the last one? Purple Haze 2 won’t be his last album. It might not even be his 3rd or 4th to last. GTFOH
Dr Dre said that 2001 was his last album but look wat happend
This nigga brought fruity-ness to the rap game with all that pink fur shit and that “no homo” shit. Fuck him, glad he’s retiring.
Cam’ron fr the past 4 months has been bothering us with his EP which by the way..he could have actually compiled into an album or 2……but because rappers these days are horny over EPs….wat u expect…..same goes for jim jones..stop ths EP bullshit and release Full-length albums…..busy uploading your ep shit on itunes for us to gve a shit abt
Actually they are now available as a one itunes album, with all six eps compiled into a one “box set”. however this repackaging and re-releasing does not change the fact they were garbage from the start.
Whatever happened to Federal Reserve ep with A-trak?? Dipshits was actually really good track. I guess they decided not to ever release that ep in its whole.
Good. He is one of the worst to do it.
capes and ebola masks is all what rico is good for in 2014 that and getting run out of London
