Cam'ron

The follow-up from Cam'ron's group, The Diplomats, Diplomatic Immunity 2 was released on November 23rd, 2004. Cooke was inducted as a charter member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. Cam'ron's frequently stalled fourth album, entitled Purple Haze, was released on December 7, 2004. Some posthumous releases followed, many of which became hits, including "A Change Is Gonna Come", an early protest song which is generally regarded as his greatest composition. Subsequently, Mase and Cam'ron got into a verbal debate that ended in Cam'ron hanging up the phone disgusted with his former ally's lies and insincerity. The verdict was justifiable homicide, though many believe that crucial details did not come out in court, or were buried afterward. This fueled a live, heated debate between Cam'ron's current right-hand man Jim Jones and Mase where Jim Jones threatened Mase that he would "put dentures in your mouth" and he advised Mase to "have them boys in blue (police)" with him when he sees him. Though the details of the case are still in dispute, it seems he was shot to death by Bertha Franklin (the manager of Hacienda Motel, where Cooke was staying) who claimed she killed him in self-defense and that he had raped a young woman, then threatened Franklin.

In mid-2004 Cam'ron became involved once again in a dispute with his former friend Mase. After returning to the music industry after a 5-year religious hiatus, Mase conducted an interview on the New York radio station Hot 97 where he described his falling out with Cam'ron and the current status of their relationship. He was interred in the Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery, Glendale, California. The hat was immensely popular and sold-out in record time. Sam Cooke died under mysterious circumstances on December 11, 1964 in Los Angeles, California. In early 2004 Cam'ron announced plans to work with scientist to develop his own, new color and patent it. This eventually evolved into a purplish color that he used to design a hat in conjunction with the baseball cap company New Era. In spite of this, he released a critically acclaimed blues-inflected LP in 1963, Night Beat. This trend had become widespread across America. Like most R&B artists of his time, Cooke focused on singles.

He claims that it was already popular in urban New York. This was followed by more hits, including "Sad Mood", "Bring it on Home to Me", "Another Saturday Night" and "Twisting the Night Away". Cam'ron is also credited with starting the recent trend of men wearing pink. His first RCA single was the hit "Chain Gang"; this is probably his most famous song. It featured songs such as "Let Me Know" and "What Means the World to You" which featured an all-star line-up of Southern rappers such as U.G.K, Trina, and Ludacris in addition to Cam'ron protege Juelz Santana. Cooke then created a publishing imprint and management firm, then left Keen to sign with RCA. Reportedly using unconventional methods such as physically assaulting and threatening numerous Sony Records employees, Cam'ron sought an end to his contract due to his record company's lack of promotion for his second album released in 2000 entitled S.D.E for Sports, Drugs, and Entertainment. Though a R&B performer writing his own songs and achieving mainstream fame was innovative enough, Cooke continued to astonish the music business in the 1960s with the founding of his own label, SAR Records, which soon included The Simms Twins, The Valentinos, Bobby Womack and Johnnie Taylor.

Cam'ron achieved notoriety for his 2001 release from Sony Records under Tommy Mottola. He signed with Keen Records in 1957, with his own "You Send Me", which had massive mainstream success. This group consists of Juelz Santana, Jim Jones, J.R. Writer, 40 Cal., female rapper, Jha'Jha, as well as currently incarcerated member Freekey Zeekey Hell Rell is another member of the Diplomats and recently was released from Clinton Correctional Facility. Specialty Records, the label of the Soul Stirrers, complained to Bumps Blackwell, Cooke's pop producer, resulting in the loss of Cooke's contract. His most recent single, "Lord You Know" featuring New Jersey singer Jaheim did not fare as well as his previous ones. Cam'ron is the head of the musical group "The Diplomats" better known as "Dip Set". His first pop single, "Lovable" (1956) was released under the alias of Dale Cooke, in order to not alienate his fan base. Cam'ron (real name Cameron Giles) is a popular African-American rapper who is best known for his massive 2002 song "Oh Boy" in addition to his 2002 song "Hey Ma," both of which featured his 18-year-old protege, Juelz Santana. In 1950, he joined The Soul Stirrers and achieved significant success and fame within the gospel community.

He started his musical career as a member of a quartet with his siblings, the Soul Children, followed by a teenage turn as a member of the Highway CQs, a gospel group. Sam Cooke (January 22, 1931 - December 11, 1964) was a massively popular gospel music and R&B singer, born Sam Cook in Clarksdale, Mississippi.
