Cam’ron wasn’t as impressed with Jay-Z‘s Roots Picnic Freestyle as most people.
During a recent episode of Talk With Flee, he talked about how he would’ve had a different strategy in the way he approached the subject matter and how it opens the door for Drake to possibly fire back.
“I think what he should’ve done was keep that one at the Roots [Picnic] about whoever he want to talk about,” he explained. “And then you got Yankee Stadium, you coulda did one every night and that sh– would’ve went crazy for the rest of the year. ‘Oh, he did this person — pause — at the Roots Picnic.’ Then he dissed this person the first night at Yankee Stadium, then he got at this person the second night at Yankee Stadium. Then the last finale, [perform] all four freestyles. It would’ve looked better.”
He added: “You got three shows coming up. You spread that sh– out like, ‘Yo, he caught this person this day, caught that person, he was shootin’ at n—as.’”
He then talked about how both Jay-Z and Drake are competitive, but thinks Jay’s subs aren’t exactly knockout blows while joking about his former label boss’ God complex. “‘Yo, your words can’t reach God/ I’m too high in the sky to hear what n—as is saying,’” he said of the way Jay likes to talk down on his opponents. “Must’ve came down, ’cause you paying attention to what n—as is saying. But what I will say is this: Drake is competitive too. And I think that by that freestyle not hitting the way that his freestyles usually hit, this is an opportunity if Drake wants to be like, ‘That ain’t it, homeboy.’”
Cam also responded to Jim Jones‘ recent Verzuz challenge and acknowledged that his old friend is really good at going viral. “Jomo is really good at riling people up in the Tri-State Area about nonsense and the people he’s talking to don’t really don’t give a f— what he’s talking about,” Killa began. “He said he has more No. 1 hits than Nas and n—as was like, ‘Yo, he might. Jim out here workin’. That n—a workin’.’ Then you go check and be like, ‘What the f— these n—as talkin’ about? N—a don’t got more No. 1 hits than Nas.’ Then the n—a moves the goal post and be like, ‘Oh, nah, I meant the culture. I’m out here doing the culture, I’m shiftin’, I’m still workin’.’ That ain’t what you said, n—a. You said you had more No. 1 hits than Nas; you movin’ the goal post.”
He continued: “So, I think he’s really excellent at getting his algorithm poppin’ and sh– like that. But as far as the Verzuz? No, I’m doing no Verzuz, man.”
