Cam'ron Says Epic Records Doesn't Know What To Do With Rap Music

NEW YORK (Cam'Ron Fans) - Harlem-based rapper Cam'ron enters the US Albums chart at Number Two this week following premiere-week sales of more than 225,000 copies of his latest release, Come Home With Me. The new collection is the rapper's debut release on Roc-A-Fella Records - his first two offerings, 1998's gold-certified Confessions Of Fire and 2000's S.D.E., were released by Epic Records.

Cam'ron recently told New York's Daily News about the differences between Epic and Roc-A-Fella Records, "They (Epic) didn't know what to do with rap music. You walk into Epic and they're wearing straight-leg khakis with creases, Prada shoes with tassels. They couldn't comprehend where I was coming from." In regards to Roc-A Fella, the rapper continued, "They're entrepreneurs. They want me to sell records."

The success of Cam'ron's Come Home With Me can be linked to its highly successful first single, "Oh Boy " featuring Juelz Santana, which is presently Number 14 on the US singles chart. The rapper is currently broadening his horizons and working on a new cologne that will also be called Oh Boy.
