Cam’ron has responded to Jay Z’s line on Drake’s “Pound Cake,” where the rapper says he made Cam’ron a millionaire.
“She said Jay made you a millionaire and looked me in the eyes,” Cam’ron raps on “Come and Talk To Me” off his recently released mixtape, Ghetto Heaven Vol. 1. “Said cake, cake, cake, got that from the pies / We made each other millions, that was my reply / But had a mill before I met him, baby, that ain’t no lie.”
Cam’ron released two albums prior to signing with Jay Z’s Roc-A-Fella Records. Released via Epic Records, Cam’ron’s debut solo album, 1998’s Confessions of Fire, was certified gold by the RIAA. Cam’ron’s second album, S.D.E., was released in 2000. Given Cam’ron’s likely income from album sales, merchandise, touring, endorsements and other revenue streams, it is probable that he generated at least $1 million before he signed with Jay Z’s imprint.
On the aforementioned “Pound Cake,” Jay Z says he made several other people millionaires.
“I done made more millionaires than the Lotto did,” Jay Z raps on the song. “Dame [Dash] made millions / [Kareem] Biggs [Burke] made millions / [Kanye West] made millions, Just [Blaze] made millions / Lyor [Cohen] made millions / Cam made millions.”
Cam’ron joined Jay Z’s Roc-A-Fella in 2001. Cam’ron was named Vice President of the imprint in 2002, the year he also released his third solo album, the platinum-selling Come Home With Me.
After Jay Z and his Roc-A-Fella partners parted ways in 2004, Cam’ron made “You Got To Love It,” a diss track aimed at Jay Z. On the song, Cam’ron chastised Jay Z’s use of sandals, likened him to a camel and claimed Jay Z stole Roc-A-Fella Records, Roc-A-Wear clothing and Kanye West from Dame Dash.
Cam’ron’s “Come and Talk to Me” can be heard below. Cam’s mixtape can be streamed on HipHopDX via Datpiff.

He made Freeway thousands.
i still fuck with cam.
C/O Sign
cam wasnt a millionaire before rocafella, maybe a hundred thosandaire but he was definetly not trapping
S.D.E. definitely made him a millionaire if he wasn’t before that. Cam had Jay’s wifey featured on there before SHE was a millionaire!!! Lol
Biggest rap deal all time next to snoop
this nigga cam had one hit and whole lot of budget from Columbia then got dropped for going triple wood.
Singles didn’t make money back then, (pre ringtones & itunes numbers)
Cam made 100,000 from that first deal at best…
Now place in Pound Cake does Jay say he made millions for Cam. he says that all of the people mentioned made millions
“Horse & Carriage” with Ma$e was his biggest record before Roc-a-fella and it was a pretty big hit to get him a million or 2.
I will say Cam had a milli before the Jay-Z days. Plus who gives a shit grab his new mixtape its straight fire.
He said Cam made millions. Not he made him a millionaire. He made millions while on the Roc. That is all.
“I done made more millionaires than the Lotto did”
No the line before clearly says he made more millionaires then the lotto. Then he rattles off all the names. Cam and everyone else knows what Jay-Z meant.
ya but he says “lyor made millions” and Lyor Cohen is Without a doubt a millionaire before Jay-Z ever got involved in his life. So I think for some people he made them millionaires, Kanye for example. Others he just made them millions on top of their millions (Lyor, Camron etc. etc.)
and beanie a faggot. and jay is lame now, hasnt been dope for years. Pound Cake shoulda had 3 drizzy verses and it woulda been doper, jay just came through with his generic ass shit
*lyor cohen WAS a millionaire before Jay ever got involved…
jay-z is such a political little pussy. always talks shit and hides his hands. type to say something and drive off. cam destroyed jay z on you gotta love it and alls jay z did was diss jim jones. jay z dissing beanie sigel waaay after the fact. little pot shot on a drake album. jigga is a pathetic old man when it comes to confrontation.
here come the jay z super fans saying cam is a loser and jay is a boss, magna carta was ass and jay-z is a washed up puss. cam mixtape destroys magna carta. samsung made that album a success, because it failed on its own. jay plays the sales game but wants to be accepted by the hipster indy crowd. jay also got ate on welcome to ny city.
jay is so wack that you have to write a book to convince people about it. off yourself.
Jay wack that better for you.
without the deal with samsung, MCHG just was certified platinum today… so how did it fail. how many rap albums been platinum the last 3 years. all i know is Cam anint had one nor has he had one since he was with roc-a-fella. Case closed. yall all hate. the dude is 43 years old. y would he still be talkin about the streets. yall them types of dudes that will 30 40+ talkin bout i got the dope game on lock and im street this street that. Grow up.
Cam destroyed himself when he filmed that ridiculous ass video with that small ass pool in the back.
You mean the pool at his vacation home in Florida. I bet you don’t even own one spot. I bet you don’t even rent your own spot. I bet you don’t even have a whip of your own. talking on the next man pool at a place that probably worth more then anything you have ever set foot in. talking on a next mans pool and shit. GTFOH
sorry but that video was a joke. cam standing in front of his lil ass pool in his boxer shorts. neighbors houses like 10 feet away lol
butthurt stan going all out while telling us all about his life.
Who gives a fuck about Cam’Ron. Nigga ver had one classic album and is stock in weak albums and definitely not as street as Gucci.
He said he had a million before he met jay,Isnt that singular? ,Jay said he made him a millionaire which is having more than the million he had before they met, so Cam really isnt saying Jay is lying he just said they made each other millions.Basically saying he wasnt just eating off Jay,they ate off each other
1.01 million is more than a million so anything a penny above 1M is millionaire status.
Be forreal tho yo if you got 1.01 your not gonna consider youself a millionaire be honest and he said Cam made millions not 1.01 lol
u a lie if you say its not a dope mixtape, Cam always got the best skits too. Beats are on point.
listen to my beats nigguhs & stop playing, email me too if you need somethin’ – soundcloud.com/tha_chiller
Yo beats are ass tho
“You mean the pool at his vacation home in Florida”
Did you have a sleep over?
Who gives a Fuck!…Ya’ll both got money…EAT!
And Ya’ll on here worried about people who have more money than all us put together…Fuck they money get you some!
Gucci is some real trash, and he’s a codine head to top it off.
This isn’t Gucci you dumb fuck
THIS NIGGA FELL OF HARD MY NIGGA. HE USE TO BE SO NICE.MISS THE OLD ROCAFELLA THO
Love all you cats talking about people “falling off”. You prob haven’t even had a paycheck over 100 bucks. Stop Hating.

I just want to make sure everyone knows that $1M literally means you’re a millionaire, not $1M and one cent u donks. Jay was just talking on that song just like on every other song. He did play a role in making millions for CAM just as CAM did for him. There’s nothing agressive about what he said he at all.
This dude is trash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hiphop dx is reachin’ big time.
^i agree
cam trash my dude right here sick tho

Mr. Tardio good Hip-hop reporting.
I don’t get it. Jay Z said, “Cam made millions”, he didn’t say he made Camron a millionaire he said, “Cam made millions” which I’m sure he did make millions while he was on Rocafella. Is Camron denying that he made millions while on Rocafella?
just before that he said “i made more millionaires then the lotto.” which insinuates that he takes credit for all the people he listed after that line.
Dj Twitti ..You a fucking lame dame
But Jay Z did say “I made more millionaires than lotto” before that so I guess I do see where Cam could feel a certain way about it.
it’s always good when one line can get people riled up…and listening to a Camron response is powerful! lol
i think the thing to really look at… is damn that is a wack line Jay
How about Jay acting like he did biggs and dame a favor. Ungrateful motherfucka yall was partners. And last time I checked you raped them in the end.
who cares who had millions when and whenever…this is dumb….
Hear Relapse how it should of been heard here.

RIP Cam

^ LOL!
Dead man walking…RIP to the entire Dip Set. It hurts to even see a new video from any of these guys. I would not walk across the street to see any of them.
Cams got a point still. That was his own grind. And while I used to hate on dipset back in the day, they had their own energy.
good article, visit: https://hiphopdx.com//////////
jay wasnt trying to say he made cam him first million. he was just syaing dealing with him he made him millions.
exactly, people interpret things the way they want ,so ignorant. listen to what Jay saying , he made more millionaires than the lotto did, its a figure of speech
Kinda like Jay saying he made a million off the Nets but would have done it for free? Then calling them dweebs… Sensitive ass niggas I swear…
Ems Relapse sold 2 million. Recovery Sold 4.5 Million. Why?, Relapse was disappointing. Interscope had a version of Relapse that could of sold easily 4 million. Check out this site to hear it.

WHERE IS #RULETALK???????
Cam’ron smokes Jay z.. Tell me how Jay is better without metioning finnacial success, or flow cause jay flow and content is weak as fuck
Reasonable Doubt, In My Lifetime Vol. 1, The Blueprint 1 & 2, The Black Album >> any album Cam’ron ever made
Cam maybe has 3-4 decent songs per album but other then that he is trash. The Diplomats were trash too they just had some great production
no it isnt. jays flow might be the best ever.
THIS IS NOT A NEWS ARTICLE
[Jay-Z:]

Whats up
Y’all and broke cam are upside down cakes…. Get a life bitches
Cam sucks
^Go Suck out dumb bumberclart pussy ^
weak, who cares? he’s towering over you now and he made it there by being better than you.
They need to put a “like” option on this mug.
You damsels in distress are so fucking pathetic
Cam can’t rap for shit. Tryna diss Jay nigga. He’d ruin Camron’s WHOLE career. OOP. He did it all by himself. Cam is like Chief Keef, Lil B and Soulja Boy in one.
purple haze was a classic
I admit Camron had SOME good tracks back in the day. His flow is stupid (bad)though. Purple Haze had some good tracks like “Down and Out” with Kanye, but it was not a classic bruh. Second, I think his “Come home with me” album is what did it for him with tracks like “Oh Boy” and “Hey Ma”… He aint shit now though.
You people are the reason hip hop should fucking die
Confessions of fire
Purple Haze
SDE
The above albums shit on 89% of the euro pop shit you nerds thinks is hot
^You wasting your time son it will never click for these kids from the burbs !!!!
@NAW you’re a dumb fuck, he has other classics than that, u forgot “I really mean it”, “More than music”, “I love you”..
“Confessions of fire Purple Haze SDE”
Horse and Carriage was his only good song. The rest was wack garbage.
“e forreal tho yo if you got 1.01 your not gonna consider youself a millionaire”
Agreed. Liken it to someone who signs a sports contract and makes say 1.5 million their first season. That’s alot of money, but in comparison to someone making $20 mill that season, it’s chump change. Cam probably had the prospects lined up to make millions, but I doubt he had millions.
Cam had liquor stores and all that poppin waaaay before him and Jay ever sat in the same room together
