His song with K West on Late Reg was good.

I prefer Consequence to Cam'ron on the track but overall one of my favorites from LR.

Washington D.C. police are now uncertain that Harlem rapper Cam’ron was the victim of an attempted carjacking, reports the Washington Post.

 

The article sparked all kinds of skepticism over the incident from radio disc jockeys to law enforcement officials – many of whom believed the whole episode was staged to create buzz around Cam’ron’s forthcoming album.

 

No arrests have been made in the wounding of the rapper, who was shot in both arms by would-be carjackers as he sat in his 2006 Lamborghini at a stoplight early Sunday.

 

Cam’ron, whose new album 'Killa Season' is due in February, has made it clear that he was the victim of a “botched carjacking.” However, investigators say they are looking at other potential motives, and have not settled on one theory.

 

“If you are going to carjack a car, you don’t shoot first. You try to get the driver out of the car,” a police official told the Post, speaking on condition of anonymity because the case is under investigation. “You also wouldn’t do that in front of people.”

 

In dismissing the occurrence as a publicity stunt, callers on the radio began questioning the carjacker’s choice in vehicles to steal, an electric blue oddity that might as well have the words “Here I am, police!” spray painted along the side.

 

While investigators aren’t ruling out carjacking as a possibility, officials are saying Cam’ron could’ve been shot in an attempted execution, targeted in retaliation for a perceived slight or the victim of road rage, according to the Post.

 

According to police, Cam – born Cameron Giles – was leaving the nightclub H2O in Southwest and was driving alone when he stopped at the light on New York and New Jersey avenues NW. He became separated from the other members of his caravan, which included members of his crew in a pink SUV. A burgundy Ford Expedition pulled up beside him, a man exited and opened fire on Cam’ron, without saying one word, police said.

 

After the shooting, police said the gunman jumped back into the Expo, which had another man inside, and drove off. Two officers with the Federal Protective Service, who were on patrol nearby, sped after the suspects. The assailants crashed in the 600 block of U Street NW, and both were briefly trapped inside until the gunman shot out a window – allowing both to escape.

 

The pair left a large amount of evidence behind, police said. Authorities were also able to track down the owner of the crashed Ford Expo, who told police that he had lent the SUV to a friend.

 

According to Cam’s rep Kate Lupson, the rapper was in the Nation’s Capitol Saturday to support artists on his label, Diplomat Records, during festivities surrounding Howard University’s homecoming.

Well, I don't think not getting shot in the arms was helping his record sales any.

Don't bullet holes = album sales in the rap world?

Exactly.

Somebody should try and reach Tim Dog to see if he has anything to say about this

Tim Dog's "Fuck Compton" is the most hilariously blunt song title.

If it were staged, wouldn't they have had him get shot somewhere other than his arms?
