Cam'ron Responds To Ferguson & Compares To NYC (VIDEO)
Cam’ron Says New Yorkers Should Protest Against Police Brutality Like Ferguson (VIDEO)
Dipset general Cam’ron initially sat down with Canadian website Montreality to reflect on his high school basketball career and first job in a Harlem sneaker store.
However, the interview took on a serious tone when Cam was asked about the death of Ferguson’s Mike Brown, the 18-year-old who was shot by a police officer.
Cam’ron told Montreality:
“Honestly, us New Yorkers…When it comes to situations like that we kinda soft as a city.”
The Harlem rapper expressed his anger about the murder of Staten Island’s Eric Garner, who was killed in a chokehold by a police officer on camera, and New York City’s lukewarm response to the injustice taking place in their own backyard.
Cam’ron said:
“In St. Louis Mike Brown gets killed, they wild out as they should. I’m not promoting violence…But something’s gotta be done to take a stand. As opposed to New York, we got two people that died over here we don’t say nothing. That happens a lot and we don’t say nothing.
