Halle Berry?
Hell yeah! Actually, I’m gonna tell you such a funny story about Halle Berry, this is some crazy shit. This was back before my first album came out, I don’t think I even had a video out or anything. I was in L.A. on a promo tour, I just had a CD of snippets from Who’s Camron. I was wolfin’, I hadn’t had a haircut for like two months. I had just got finished playing basketball, so I ain’t have no shirt on and I was sweaty. I’m getting out of a fifteen-passenger van to go to the ATM and there’s a lady there, but I ain’t payin’ her no mind. I stick my ATM card in the shit, and Jimmy and all these niggas in the van just start bangin’ on the window so I turn around, like, “What?” They like, “Yo, that’s Halle Berry!” So I look up like, “Yo, Halle, let me talk to you for a minute,” and she’s backin’ away like, “No, no, no, I’ve gotta go.” I’m like, chasing her over to the Range Rover. There’s a dude in the car leaning back in the seat. I’m like, “Yo, Halle, I rap! I”m about to come out! Just take the CD!” She rolled down the window like, about this much (Cam holds his fingers an inch apart to demonstrate) and took the snippets. She rolled out and we sittin’ there buggin’ out. That was probably in early 1998. Then last year, 2003, I’m at this party in Vegas after a fight. Some boxer had a party, and there’s mad niggas in there, the crazy retarded girl from Scary Movie, everybody from fuckin’ mainstream America was like, “Camron, we love you, man!” So we chillin’ with Tyrese and Larenz Tate and they like, “Ah, Cam, we fuckin’ love you, B,” and Larenz pulls me off to the side. He’s like, “Yo, I fucks with you, dawg.” So I’m like, “Good lookin’, it’s all good.” He was like, “Remember that day when you slid that CD in Halle’s car? That was me, when I was fuckin’ her, and ain’t nobody know. We was on the low. Yo, Cam, that was me in that passenger seat. That’s how long I been fuckin’ with you, dawg.” I popped bottles with him after that, cause he was keepin’ it too funky! There’s only a few niggas who know that whole story, fam. The first thing I was thinkin’ was, whoever in that passenger seat is pimpin’, yo! He got Halle goin’ to the ATM!

:lol :lol :lol :lol

Even though you guys didn't ask for it heres another part of the interview, funny ass shit here:

What’s the craziest voicemail you’ve received?
Shit, you wanna hear it? (Cam flips open his cell phone and plays over twenty minutes of a recorded phone call with an anonymous female, in which she threatens to kill him and claims that she could find him because “every chickenhead” knows where he is – complete with clucking sounds. She also asserts, “I don’t wanna be your girl, shit, all you do is cheat on them bitches.” Cam shrugs and nods in agreement in response to this comment, as the rest of the Diplomats crack up laughing in the back of the tour bus.)

I reread it and I am still confused. What's funny? The story, or the way he tells it? I think he sounds like a fuckin moron, and I guess that is sort of amusing, but I couldn't find humor in what actually happened.

Personally, i think the rest of the interview is more interesting than the Halle Berry bit. The first question/response is gold.

Cam'Ron greatest benefit to mankind is the 'no homo' catchphrase (for men worried about their sexuality) and the 'Girls Just Wanna have Fun' clip.

Basically Tate was banging Halle and her go to the ATM and when Cam slid his cd in it was Tate who rolled down the window. Cam was thinking damn this dude must be the shit rolling with Halle he didnt find out to much later who it was. He got a kick out of it.

WTF? "I fucks wit you dawg" -- "That's how long I've been fuckin' wit you"

Makes no sense... so it's like -- from what I'm getting, it sounds like the whole time that Cam didn't know who was in the car with Halle, to the time that he's famous, Lorenz was "Fucking" with him? That doesn't make any sense. There's an implication that Lorenz knew Cam from the get go because "that's how long I be fuckin wit you", but from what Cam's saying, they barely met at the party long enough for him to tell him how much he loves Cam, pull him to the side and brag how much he hit it. It's like some childhood secret Lorenz never told Cam til now, only they just met.

Sounds ridiculous to me. Lorenz must be a real gentelmen.

Larenz was saying that he has been listening to Cam'ron's music ever since he got that CD from Cam'ron when he was in the Range Rover with Halle Berry that day at the ATM...

There's a difference between using slang, and being so fucking incoherent and ignorant with your use of words that it appears as if it's a foreign language.

Jesus fucking Christ. I'll translate:


Halle Berry?
Hell yeah! Actually, I’m gonna tell you such a funny story about Halle Berry, this is some crazy shit. This was back before my first album came out, I don’t think I even had a video out or anything. I was in L.A. on a promo tour, I just had a CD of snippets from Who’s Camron. I was wolfin’, I hadn’t had a haircut for like two months. I had just got finished playing basketball, so I ain’t have no shirt on and I was sweaty.

He was in LA before he was famous, and he looked and smelled like shit.


I’m getting out of a fifteen-passenger van to go to the ATM and there’s a lady there, but I ain’t payin’ her no mind. I stick my ATM card in the shit, and Jimmy and all these niggas in the van just start bangin’ on the window so I turn around, like, “What?” They like, “Yo, that’s Halle Berry!” So I look up like, “Yo, Halle, let me talk to you for a minute,” and she’s backin’ away like, “No, no, no, I’ve gotta go.”

He's going to withdraw money from the ATM, but is unaware that the lady at the ATM with him is Halle Berry. His associates in the van nearby inform him that the woman is in fact Halle. Camron procedes to pursue a conversation with her, to which she responds in the negative.


I’m like, chasing her over to the Range Rover. There’s a dude in the car leaning back in the seat. I’m like, “Yo, Halle, I rap! I”m about to come out! Just take the CD!” She rolled down the window like, about this much (Cam holds his fingers an inch apart to demonstrate) and took the snippets. She rolled out and we sittin’ there buggin’ out. That was probably in early 1998.

He follows her to her car, and there's a man sitting in the passenger seat. Camron tells Halle that he's a rap artist and offers her a CD, which she accepts through a small slit in the window. She then drove off and he and his friends laughed about it. This was approx 7 years ago.


Then last year, 2003, I’m at this party in Vegas after a fight. Some boxer had a party, and there’s mad niggas in there, the crazy retarded girl from Scary Movie, everybody from fuckin’ mainstream America was like, “Camron, we love you, man!” So we chillin’ with Tyrese and Larenz Tate and they like, “Ah, Cam, we fuckin’ love you, B,” and Larenz pulls me off to the side. He’s like, “Yo, I fucks with you, dawg.” So I’m like, “Good lookin’, it’s all good.”

5 years after the incident he attends a party hosted by a boxer in Las Vegas. There are lots of people there, and in general people were showing Camron admiration and respect. Tyrese and Larenz Tate inform him that they enjoy his work. Tate specifically indicates that he listens to Camron's music, and Camron responds with gratitude.


He was like, “Remember that day when you slid that CD in Halle’s car? That was me, when I was fuckin’ her, and ain’t nobody know. We was on the low. Yo, Cam, that was me in that passenger seat. That’s how long I been fuckin’ with you, dawg.”

Tate asked Camron if he remembered the incedent when he gave the CD to Halle. Tate informed Camron that he was the man in the car, and that he and Halle had been engaging in sexual intercourse, unbeknownst to anyone else. He reiterates that it was him in the passenger seat, and informs Camron that he has been listening to his music since then.


I popped bottles with him after that, cause he was keepin’ it too funky! There’s only a few niggas who know that whole story, fam. The first thing I was thinkin’ was, whoever in that passenger seat is pimpin’, yo! He got Halle goin’ to the ATM!

Camron celebrated by drinking champagne with Tate, because Tate was being very entertaining. He says that very few people know the story involving Halle, and that at the time he was thinking that the man in the car must have had a way with the ladies, because the man (who according to his story, was in fact Larenz Tate) had Halle Berry, a gorgeous celebrity actress, getting out to get her own money at the ATM.


Was that really so hard?

And I want to know when we started having such high expectations of people in the entertainment industry, specifically, rappers.

hyperbolically metafictive
the slang phrases are entirely decipherable from context. some of you people are being wilfully dense. but what does "i fucks with you," in isolation, mean? it can't be as specific as "i listen to your music," can it?

nope..it is just slang you dont understand and instead of using "context clues" to figure out the meaning of the various slang terms and usages, you choose some grammatical high horse and call a very clear statment "incoherrent" because you dont understand the lingo.

Come on people, is it really that hard to understand? Sure, it was alot of slang and non-grammer, but it's no worse than alot of internet slang. "Pwned", "Am cry", "Teh", "l33t" etc. Some of you people are just over-reacting here. Besides, GAF isn't exactly a good representation of proper English. Peace.

Yeah, that was the only thing I didn't get. The only meaning I know for "I fucks with you" is "I am making your life more difficult," not "I enjoy your work." Then in the next sentence he's on to talking about sex with Halle Berry.

I agree. Slang is slang. I still say "ownage" from time to time. It can be funny sometimes. Don't hate, appreciate.

HOWEVER... I do believe in knowing a place and time to use it and when not to... For example, you don't come to work and walk down the hall yelling "Yo, dawg, I feel you, B (...or in my case D)" when you see the company president.

I can't speak for everyone else, but for me, it wasn't so much that there weren't any contextual clues, but more that I didn't care enough to bother to decipher them. :D

It's amazing how deep some of that slang goes, though -- it really is like a different langauge at times. Occasionally in GTA:SA I have to sit back and realize that I have no idea what's being said.

Well I had no idea who Cam'Ron is, but I did know who Halle Berry is, so I thought I would check out the thread. I still don't know who this Cam'Ron guy is, but I do know he's a moron now, and I will steer clear of any future threads about him.

Why? Not all rappers speak in language so slang-laden as his. I've read/heard interviews with others that I understood perfectly.

And if Cam'Ron is somehow well-known for speaking in heavy slang, well, pardon me for not subscribing to The Source.
