Rapper Cam'ron was shot 3 times in Washington, DC this morning (Oct. 23)
sources revealed to *************. The Harlem, NY native was allegedly
leaving club H20 en-route to Love (formerly Dream) when three gunmen
approached the rapper seeking his blue Lamborghini. "Cam refused to give
it up & attempted to drive away & they shot up the car," an eyewitness
told *************. Cam'ron was struck 3 times & is recovering at
Howard University Hospital.

ADDED BY LS:
“Juelz, Jim [Jones] and other Dip-Set members are with him at the hospital right now,” the source said.

Cam’ron, CEO of Diplomat Records, has been driving the blue Lamborghini since at least June of 2005.

"I bought the Lamborghini especially for New York," Cam'ron told a 106 & Park audience prior to being arrested. “Because we figure that we can only see stuff like this in Miami, but I am bringing it to the streets of New York."

In July, police in Harlem stopped the rapper and arrested him while driving the Italian sports car for driving with a suspended license.

Officials at Howard University Hospital declined comment and police did not comment at press time.


looks like they tried to jack him for his lambo. He gets gangsta points for not giving it up. Perhaps this will make him a better rapper.

He can afford to bring a lamborghini to the streets of new york but how much money has he put back into the black community in keeping the kids off the street and out of jail?

These rappers talk up how ganster they are and supposedly take pride in being black but how many of them put money back into where they came from (surely there is atleast one?) it really shows how much they care about the black community and people in general once they get the big record deals etc.

Cam'ron actually does put a lot in to his native Harlem. Apparently he can be seen there down at Rucker pretty much everyday.

He's recently started 'beef' with Ma$e and GUNIT and made a track a few days ago calling out Jay-z to start with him... could be interesting

Don't know much about him, but his guest spot on Kanye's "Gone" was pretty good. But still, not as good as Consequence's.
He's not very good, generally, but occasionally he drops a good verse, like the one from Gone. He's got his own style though.

Cam: 'It Takes More Than A Botched Carjacking To Keep Me Down'
By Nolan Strong
Date: 10/24/2005 1:00 pm

Cam’ron returned from New York and is recuperating after suffering bullet wounds to both arms during a botched car-jacking attempt in Washington, D.C. Sunday morning (Oct. 23).

The Harlem, New York rapper, was shot as he was leaving Washington, D.C. nightclub H20 while in town with his Diplomats crew to celebrate Howard University’s homecoming.

The rapper and his security detail became separated and when the rapper was stopped at New York and New Jersey Avenues, two men in a burgundy Ford Expedition pulled alongside his blue Lamborghini.

The men attempted to car-jack him and when the rapper refused, the gunmen open fire. A bullet struck Cam in one arm and lodged in the other.

He drove himself to Howard University Hospital and spent 12 hours recuperating. Cam then caught a flight from D.C. back to his hometown of New York.

"People are foolish if they think I'm going to lose my head and give up anything to anyone just because someone threatens me," Cam'ron said. "I'm doing OK. It takes more than a botched carjacking to keep me down."

The rapper and his Dip-Set affiliates were in town promoting his upcoming album and movie, Killa Season, both slated for a Feb. release.

Killa Season is the first album released through a $2.5 million dollar deal between Cam’s Diplomat Records and Warner Music Group’s label, Asylum.

Yes and No.

you'll see some artists get put on like Game and 50 - who have been shot a number of times and are marketable because of it. However Cam was pretty well known already, I don't think he'd of set this up.

but if it just came down to bullets taken, MF Grimm would be the worlds biggest rapper, though it ain't so "cool" to get shot when it means you're a paraplegic and have bullet wounds in your neck.
