Cam'Ron is a Clown!!!

During the recent Oprah town hall discussing the Don Imus controversy and rap lyrics, Stanley Crouch referred to members of the rap community as "clowns".

Understandably, the panelists representing the Rap Industry took offense. However, rapper Cam'Ron's (Killer Cam) recent interview on Sunday's 60 Minutes seems to have proved Crouch's point.


Did Cam'Ron think that he would convince the 60 Minutes audience that his point of view was right? He might have had some success had he indicated that people may remain quiet in the face police questioning for fear of reprisals, however, this knucklehead simply reasons that his record sales would suffer if he were found to be a 'snitch'.

Well, if we believe the numbers, 80% of rap music is purchased by suburban white teenage males. Where's the logic in going on a show and promoting yourself (and your idiotic ideology) to their parents...parents who until this point probably had not idea who you were, much less the content of your lyrics.

For all of those who want to put a face on everything that's wrong with rap music and hip-hop culture, "Cam'Ron the Clown" is it.
