Cam’ron Says Dipset Hit Was Written For Lil Kim
During a recent episode, the Diplomats leader revealed that he was much more than just a rapper when he was still on the music side of things.
During a recent episode of the program, the “Come Home With Me” creator revealed that he has written some of the biggest female hits from artists such as 3LW.
“I wrote for 3 Little Women. The single, I’m in the credits, I wrote that. ‘Promises, promises’? That’s me. I penned that joint. We’re real creative, just tap in, man,” Cam said.
He also revealed that Dipset’s hit song “I Really Mean It” was originally written for Lil Kim.
“I did write a song for Lil’ Kim and she didn’t want it, and the lyrics changed and I ended up keeping it for myself “It was one of my biggest records, but I wrote ‘I Really Mean It’ for Lil’ Kim. Same format, and she didn’t like it. That’s one of the best things, ’cause that’s one of my close-out songs, to be totally honest with you, and she didn’t want the song. I’m happy she didn’t.”
Busta Rhymes Gives Kim Her Flowers
As one of the biggest rappers of the 1990s, Lil Kim gets respect from her peers in the music industry. Busta Rhymes recently hosted an event at Brooklyn Chop House to celebrate the release of his new EP Dragon Season. During his speech, he brought Kim out on stage to celebrate her.
“Other alumni [are] getting our flowers now,” he said. “Missy got her Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Mary J. Blige got her Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Missy did records with all of them. Mary did records with all of them. Lil Kim did records with all of them.”
He also added:
“All right, Kim. We got to light the fuse, the dynamite stick… It’s time to bust your gun, queen. Time to get active again, queen. It’s time to show Brooklyn who the f*****g queen of the borough is, queen.”
