You’re nobody ‘til somebody feuds with you. Cam’ron, Dame Dash, and Jim Jones all have the capacity to be strong men of color from or adjacent to Harlem, New York, United States of America.

Cam’ron has displayed his support for on again off again friend Dame Dash in the midst of his tiff with Jim Jones stems from a video. In it, Dash is approached by a posse of Join m Jones’ goons. While it looked like they prepared to jump the “Ultimate Hustler.” Dash simply declared he wanted to throw blows boxing style without the group.

Cam’ron felt enlivened by the footage and took to Instagram to say Dame “looked good.”

These feuds in hip hip music crop up and make it difficult to create and make money.

Consider the battles between Jay-Z and Nas. They launched into a devious feud and now they’re totally cool.

Dipset almost twenty years ago squashed their differences and brought together something renewed and positive. What a difference over a decade makes. They’re as polarized as the nations of Iran and Israel.

Cam’ron has probably the most resources out of all of these figures with Jim Jones not far behind. He has the best position to broker a peace offering and show how everyone can get paid.

Feuds can prompt competitiveness and engender a sense of stepping up one’s game to show the best bars and overall style.

At the same time, however, it can be detrimental to the overall flow of the creative process.

What gums it up is the reason that such a group of men once in the same playing field together can see their relationships shredded. It is a shame to see relatively young men of color who have been ambassadors and proponents for the genre of rap.

What Cam has carved out is a position of developing ways to get paid. Back in the Roc-A-Fella days, he even organized offices with computer banks and A&R programs. That kind of initiative brought about the ability to serve the artists on the Diplomatic end, even if he was the only one signed to the ROC.

His way of getting at a dollar has been evident in his broadcast It is What it Is. He’s said he’s made more money with his Pink Horsepower and the show with mase than with recording music.

As Jimmy continues to rap, he is seeing dividends still, at a level that some people may not have expected from him. His bars are still hard and they reverberate around the broadcast shows populating the Internet.

In the same way, Dame is “proud broke.” He doesn’t have money but he’s been able to show productiveness.

He’s got apps, books, movies, all kinds of media but he’s not seeing the revenues. Also, he’s still paying down child support and fielding lawsuits.

If they were to put together their powers, they could come out as billionaires. With their smarts, both street and industry, they have the opportunity to alter their destinies.

Everything they pour into a business ought to be a success just looking at past behavior.

They all had been cool at one point. Why can’t that same idealism rocket then to higher planes of understanding?

What is the problem with these men? It’s okay to disagree but when there’s money on the floor and table, why can’t they just do business? They don’t have to be buddy buddies, but they can regroup and make an effort to generate dollars for themselves.

If they are positioned to be the statesmen of where rap is to go, they should be enabled to go in the direction of the cash together.
