In a recent appearance on The GoodTalk Show, Cam’ron opened up about a memorable moment from his youth—a rap battle against G. Dep that he ultimately lost. The Dipset rapper reminisced about his early days in Harlem, where he, along with Mase and Bloodshed, would often engage in street battles, claiming they usually emerged victorious.
Reflecting on the one time he faced defeat, Cam’ron recounted, “We won all the battles ‘cause [it] used to be me, Bloodshed—God bless the dead—and Mase. But that day, I got killed.” He specifically credited G. Dep, who was then an up-and-coming talent, saying, “G. Dep killed me that day. He wasn’t G. Dep then and I wasn’t Killa Cam, as everybody knows. But that day, I was unaware that that n***a was going to come with all that shit. And I will admit that he caught me that day.”
G. Dep caught wind of Cam’s comments and responded in the podcast’s comment section, affirming the memory. “Yea, and a few years later when I came home from doing that skid bid in 1997 and you gave me the peace sign out of the sunroof of the orange S500 Benz, you caught me right back that day! haha Salute, champion,” he wrote.
The two artists, who were contemporaries during the late 90s when Cam signed to Epic Records and G. Dep to Bad Boy Records, continue to share a mutual respect for one another, showcasing the camaraderie that often exists within the hip-hop community.
