Freeky Zeke Interview Talks about the Beef between Jay-Z and Cam'ron
Freeky Zeke's take on the Cam and Jay-Z Beef:
So then, Jay wasn't trying to come around when Killa was finishing his album. Cause he threw a couple Roc-A-Fella artists on the album -- he had Bleek on the album, Beans on the album and we needed Jay to do a song with us and Jay wouldn't respond. We calling him on the office, telling people to call him, Cam is leaving messages and he's not responding. He's not coming through. It's like, "What's going on?" So one day, we at Baseline and we ran into him and Cam said, "You going to get on that album or not, man. I'm already pushing my album back a month." So, he went in there, bobbed his head (no homo) 8 or 9 times and said he ready. He didn't write nothing down and what happened was "Welcome To New York City." Juelz was on the hook and Cam and Jay, and it was one of the biggest songs in New York when it touched the airwaves. After we seen how successful it was, we said we need to make that the single and we gonna do a video and he said, "Nah." So, we was like, "Dude, you was bullsh--ting with us. We gonna let you know, we get it popping. We not going to use none of your sh--."
It was just to show the dude how we could prosper without the help, so imagine with the help. We was trying to get a point across. So Cam goes platinum, and I guess he took offense to that. I dunno, there was so much bullsh--, but what really set of the major beef was, Cam left it alone, but once he chilled on this dude, once Jay took Roc-A-Fella and didn't give Dame anything, that's when Cam couldn't hold it anymore. He lost all control and that's when he came out with that dis record and it was over from that day. They tried to stop him, but it was over.
BallerStatus.com: So it sounds like on the one hand, Cam is trying to look out for Dame, but Dame wouldn't have wanted the dis record to go down?
Freekey Zeke: Dame never was. Dame don't get down like that. He's a business minded man and at the end of the day, it hurt Dame to his heart. Him and Jay been together for 20 or some odd years. They built an empire, they started something from scratch.
