Cam’ron has only fond memories of Mac Miller.
During a recent episode of Talk With Flee, Cam reminisced on his friendship with the late rapper.
“That was my friend. We didn’t always do music. He would come to my crib, and we’d just watch TV and snap on Skitzo [my producer and friend],” Killa Cam said at around the 53:00 minute mark. “Mac Miller was hilarious.”
Cam also said that his mother was a huge Mac fan.
“My mother—God bless the dead—loved Mac Miller ‘cause she would hear Mac Miller’s at the house and she’d say, ‘Yo, put on Twitter that you’re at my house.’ And he would tag my mother on Twitter, and she would get, like, a thousand followers. So whenever Mac Miller would come to the crib, she would be really happy,” Cam added.
“Outside of music, he was just a cool dude, funny n***a. It wasn’t all about music. I think we got three songs that we did together out of the 10, 11 times that he came to my house,” Cam remembered. “I really fucked with that kid.”
Mac’s untimely death shocked the Dipset rapper. “When I was with him at my crib, I never seen him do no type of drugs so when I seen that shit come out [about his death], I was like, ‘What the fuck?!'” he said, clearly still shocked by the tragedy.
Cam and Mac collaborated on songs like “Ignorant” and “Dig That,” both released in 2012. Sadly, in September 2018, Miller accidentally overdosed on a mixture of cocaine, fentanyl, and alcohol. He was only 26 years old.
This year saw the release of his second posthumous album, Balloonerism, which featured one track with SZA and was originally recorded around 2014. The project peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, and two singles entered the Billboard Hot 100: “5 Dollar Pony Rides” and “Funny Papers.”
