| Cam'ron
Vs Jay-Z |
hecklerspray reports: We haven't had a good
rap battle in ages - nothing gets us more excited than hearing rich young
black men giving each other a jolly good slagging in songs. Lately, Cam'ron
has excelled himself at this.
Anyone can make a three or four minute
song calling people idiots and saying that their girlfriend is a bit rubbish,
but Cam'ron has recorded a song entitled You Got It, where he lays into
Jay-Z. For eight solid minutes. We'd give Cam'ron some mad props, but we
aren't entirely sure what that means.[see full story for more]-
