Cam’ron teamed up with A-Trak to release an EP entitled The Federal Reserve. Despite the initial shock of the two teaming up together, the first single Humphrey was met with rave reviews. Of course hip hop heads also tried to decipher the meaning behind Cam’s lyrics.
Initially people though Cam wanted to fight Jay Z’s cousin “B-High” stemming from Cam and Hov’s old beef but the real meaning is pretty shocking.
“Dame said I’m bout it cuz I wanna fight B-Hop.
I said I’ll fuck him up after 2 months of detox.
True. Besides that, 8 mill from Reebok,
I take him to the bar, Pa, that’s 33 shots…”
The reference turns out to be about boxer, middleweight champion and current IBF Light Heavyweight champ, Bernard Hopkins. Courtesy of Miss Info
Cam’ron tells me he might actually get in the boxing ring and fight Hopkins sometime this year. For pay-per-view. Obviously.
Is Cam intimidated by Philly’s former champ Hopkins? Well, the boxer is still in fighting form but he is 49 years old now and, as Cam puts it, hasn’t knocked anyone out since ’05.
Oh, by the way… “Humphrey” is Bernard Hopkins’ middle name.
This is a fight I definitely want to see. Who’s your money on?
